Relating to or involving computation or calculation; capable of or suitable for computing.
From 'computation' + '-ive' suffix. Derived from Latin 'computare' (to calculate), the '-ive' suffix creates an adjective expressing 'tending to' or 'relating to.'
In cognitive science, researchers distinguish between 'computative' processes (those that can be reduced to mathematical rules) and other types of thinking, which raises deep questions about whether human thought is ultimately computative or if something irreducible remains.
