Abstract
Open-access reader
In combinatory logic it is known that the set of two combinators K and S are universal; in the sense that any other combinator can be expressed in terms of these two. K combinator can not be expressed only in terms of the S combinator. This will answer a question raised by Stephen Wolfram as ``Is the S combinator on its own computation universal?''
