- taylorius 5y agoDefinitions ideally don't require an oracle.
- bufferoverflow 5y agoThat's not how definitions work. I can't know what your brain thinks bread is. And if you die, I can never know.
- whatshisface 5y agoDefinitions do not have to be computable, even in principle. For example, "a Turing machine that halts" is well-defined although there is no algorithm for classifying things into that bin.
