Reason is an algorithm

Reason is an algorithm—any algorithm, not a specific one. It is the processing of information for a purpose (any purpose, not a specific one). It is a method, a process, a set of rules, a way to do things, a modus operandi. In essence, it is a sequence of (separate, different) processing operations that would otherwise be independent but are connected because they aim to achieve a purpose—whatever that may be. Practically, Reason is the carrying out in sequence of more than one interconnected processing operation by a Being on a dataset. (Because processing is external, Reason’s existence can only be established while the processing of datasets (meaning, all material and materialised - but not immaterial - information) takes place.)
