    Supports→Among the unsolvable decision problems of recursively enumerable sets, there is a highest degree of unsolvability.

    The structure of reducibility among these problems yields at least one problem to which all others are reducible.

    Related to the question of solvability or unsolvability of problems is that of the reducibility or non-reducibility of one problem to another. Thus, if problem \(P_1\) has been reduced to problem \(P_2\), a solution of \(P_2\) immediately yields a solution of \(P_1\), while if \(P_1\) is proved to be unsolvable, \(P_2\) must also be unsolvable. For unsolvable problems the concept of reducibility leads to the concept of degree of unsolvability, two unsolvable problems being of the same degree of
