Effective computability
Effective computability refers to whether a problem or question can be solved or answered using a well-defined, finite set of instructions or steps, typically by a computer. If there's a clear method to reach a solution in a finite amount of time, the problem is considered effectively computable. It helps distinguish between questions that are solvable with algorithms and those that are inherently impossible to solve mechanically, even with unlimited resources. Essentially, it defines the boundary between problems that can be algorithmically resolved and those that cannot.
