I recently learned that
algorithm is a word being used without a definite defintion, as seems to be the case of a lot of terms I have been analyzing.
Anyway, I am wondering about this passage that algorithms and it seemingly exercised in fields beyond computer programming.

Most algorithms are intended to be implemented as computer programs. However, algorithms are also implemented by other means, such as in a biological neural network (for example, the human brain implementing arithmetic or an insect looking for food), in an electrical circuit, or in a mechanical device.

There is no reference, anybody able to direct me toward any?
