From what I gather from the first paragraph, mathematicians are trying to create a basic formula that can compute a "nondeterministic algorithm" into a simple matter of equating an answer to either being "true" or "false".

No one has the answer yet, so it is reasonable and wholly factual to state that no computer can process this theory either. I'm going to study the article & links in-depth a bit later, and see if I might have come across this problem elsewhere in my random searches.
