Re: Algorithms beyond programming
Still, the issue of termination is an important consideration in the definition of algorithm. Otherwise, it would not have been discussed.
Since all books I've used on the subject of algorithms include termination as a part of the algorithm definition I suspect that allowing nonterminating procedures to be part of algorithms makes the definition not useful.
As Minsky pointed out, if you don't know what the answer is, then what do you do.
