Ω (Chaitin's constant)

Layer 0 — Mathematicsin the formal-systems-limits subtree

The halting probability of a prefix-free universal Turing machine — a real number encoding, in its binary expansion, the halting behaviour of every program. Formally DEFINABLE, but proven to be *non-computable*: no algorithm can output its…
