Thank you for your post!

Define alorithm in a non-circular way.

Sure, I'll be glad to. An algorithm is a step-by-step instruction. In Emperor's New Mind, Penrose uses Euclid's algorithm as an example. In BASIC code, it looks like this:

Again:
C=A-(Int(A/B)*B)
Print A;" divided by ";B;" gives a remainder of ";C
If C<>0 then
A=B
B=C
Goto Again
End If
Print "Euclid algorithm complete!"

This algorithm includes process, conditionals, symbols and recursives. The genetic codes contains all of these.

My hypothesis algorithm at inception is proof of intelligent design is that such information content cannot arise from null - either at the inception of life, abiogenesis - or at the inception of the universe, the big bang.
