Let f be a function from the integers to [0,1]. Note that the Turing tape has precisely one space for each integer, so this function cooresponds to your idea.

Can you (without being an asshole) explain why exactly each tape position may contain only a simple integer? It's perfectly reasonable to define the tape alphabet to be an arbitrary set; can the set not be uncountably infinite?
