Abstract
This paper tries to give a simple, effective definition of 'microprogramming' by reducing this notion to the concept of a 'microcontrolled' machine. The class of microcontrolled machines can rigorously be defined using the terminology of switching algebra.

On the definition of definition
An attempt is undertaken to define the word "definition." The correlation of concepts, such as definition, term, discourse, and frame is discussed and a systematic definition of the term "definition" is given.
