algorithm.noun
a mathematical set of instructions; a formal sequence of instructions for that may be followed in order to achieve a particular purpose; precise mathematical series of actions, or measures taken to achieve a goal, like solving a computational problem where the programer has set instructions where one proposition leads to another and to another and so on; where if you know theorem one, that leads to knowing theorem 2 and two leads to theorem 3 and so on; Euclidian geometry is algorithmic for example; a non algorthimic system is where you go from 1,2,3,4,5,6, and then leap ahead to say 132 with nothing in between, yet Gödel's theorem states that if you have a sufficiently elaborate system of propositions in a mathematical system, then you find within that system a proposition that is not supported by the system, and this makes intuitive sense to most scientists but can't be explained by mathematical logic; see if Gödel's theorem makes intuitive sense to you
