User blog comment:Emlightened/Definition of Googology/@comment-28606698-20170709205728

That is really actual problem since I am also not satisfued by the current definition. Finally, Emlightened, what is your formulated definition of googology? Should we put the creation of large numbers in central place of definition? I fear it leads to unserious perception of subject.

Personally I think "Googology is a unofficial branch of mathematic that studies fast-growing computable or uncomputable functions and corresponding mathematical problems", for example, the searching of catching ordinals for the pair FGH-SGH intuitively I understand as a googological problem even not thinking about creation of large numbers (although potentially it allows to create large integers and may be that's unconscious stimul for inspiration-).
