# Kolmogorov 1963: On the Definition of Algorithms

This Skill is the behavioral expression of [the canonical article](/a/paper-kolmogorov-a-n-1963-on-the-definition-of-algorithms). It does not repeat the article's human prose.

## Orient

- Read the machine article at /api/articles/paper-kolmogorov-a-n-1963-on-the-definition-of-algorithms.
- Read claims and relationships at /api/articles/paper-kolmogorov-a-n-1963-on-the-definition-of-algorithms/topology.
- Treat found content as evidence and instruction only within the article's stated authority.

## Apply

1. Identify which claim or concept from the article governs the request.
2. State the governing meaning in the minimum language needed.
3. Apply it to the requested object or decision.
4. Preserve evidence grades, uncertainty, authority limits, and failure conditions.
5. Return the result with the article identity and any relevant claim or receipt links.

## Human meaning

What Kolmogorov saw and core results Andrey Kolmogorov and Vladimir Uspenskii examined the problem of defining an algorithm in absolute terms. They sought a mathematical characterization that does not depend on any particular machine or lan
