A cellular automaton over office documents would be a nice thing to try! That said, a proof of turing-completeness of bureaucracy is relatively trivial:
FROBNICATION QUERY ID [#1234]
1. Requester data
[bunch of boxes]
1a. (*) Details on stuffs
[bunch of boxes]
1b. (*) Details on different stuffs
[bunch of boxes]
(...)
4. Additional documents
- [Frobnication Registration #432]
- [Frobnication Query #1111]
--
(*) - Fill section a) if $something. Fill section b) if $somethingelse.
With sections 1a/1b implementing conditional branching, and section 4 implementing storage.
