> Mathematically a function, if it terminated, terminates with an answer. There is no such thing for a mathematical function to "terminate." In classical mathematics, a function is a one-valued relation, a set of pairs, if you like. There is no algorithm and no computation involved. Termination is a computation term. Divergence is a formalism-specific.
