Nov 12, 2017 at 19:53 comment added kakaz @Noah - of course it is. But I am asking about cases where there's some hierarchy defined, and we have a set of operations which descent down this hierarchy. So Your example may be a trivial one, but definitely there are interesting ones as well.
Nov 12, 2017 at 18:51 comment added Noah Schweber The union, or intersection, or etc. of two arbitrarily complicated sets can be arbitrarily simple - for example, take any set and its complement, or any set and itself. Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

Nov 12, 2017 at 12:43 comment added kakaz Yes, definitely it is related, but mainly I am asking about nontrivial transformations which takes arguments inside some level and return something at lower level. Another example: suppose you have two NP time problems, and a process depending on the solutions of it. For which processes resolution may be in P? Is it possible to cancel out NP hardened processes and get something simpler?

Nov 12, 2017 at 12:34 comment added Joel David Hamkins The hierarchy of Turing degrees may fulfill some of what you request for a larger hierarchy of non-computability.
Nov 12, 2017 at 12:34 comment added kakaz Yes, of course, my mistake, but general question is still valid, and generalisations as well. Is it interesting question?
Nov 12, 2017 at 12:31 comment added Joel David Hamkins The Ackermann function is computable. It is not primitive recursive and it grows faster than any primitive recursive function, which may be what you had meant, but it is computable.
