    You seem far too ready to shout "AD HOMINEM!" whenever a post contains personal criticism. It's a cheap tool, and you use it dishonestly, as
    you did in your last post.

    It is a generally acknowledged fact that PO's understanding of the
    topic dominating this newsgroup is far from good. Part of that is his failure to understand the meaning of the technical words he uses. To
    write this from time to time is entirely legitimate.

    You are starting with an incorrect assumption that a "Correct

    You talk about the "misapplication of Turing Machine Semantics", but

    Sorry, your abstract just reveals that you don't know what you are

    You're right, of course, but the above argument is not as robust
    as we might hope.

    "The number of human chromosomes was published by Painter in

    chromosomes, giving 48 in total. His error was copied by others,
    and it was not until 1956 that the true number (46) was
    determined by Indonesian-born cytogeneticist Joe Hin Tjio."

    And oscillating reactions were known to be impossible for quite a
    while even after crank Belousov came up with one.

    And of course there's another problem:

    Do you really think that for such a simple problem, known and

    Yes. That's /precisely/ what he really thinks. And he always will, no
    matter what we tell him.


    Because my reasoning is sound and every rebuttal
    either denied verified facts or changed the words
    that I said and rebutted these changed words. No
    one can find any example of any error in the gist
    of anything that I have been saying.

    I did have a few typos here and there.

    Joes tries to keep getting away with saying that
    HHH cannot possibly simulate itself simulating DDD.
    Richard almost always uses the strawman error.

    It never has been that I do not understand

    That you think a definition is incorrect does not change the defined
    meaning. If you don't accept the definition the best you can do is
    that you don't use the term.


    That I prove that a definition is derived from provably
    false assumptions proves that this definition is incorrect.

    No one here is capable of paying enough attention to my
    proof that the halting problem definition is incorrect
    because my proof requires two steps and no one here can
    even pay attention to one step.

    *This right here is a type mismatch error*
    The simplest step is that no Turing machine decider
    ever takes another directly executing Turing machine
    as its input yet the halting problem requires a halt
    decider to report on the behavior of the directly
    executed machine.

    This would not be an issue if the correct simulation
    of a Turing machine description always had the exact
    same behavior as the directly executed machine.

    Everyone here sees that the behavior is not the same
    and rules that the simulation is wrong because it
    differs from the behavior of the direct execution.
    *That is an incorrect measure of correct simulation*

    It is also honest and truthful that people
    that deny verified facts are either liars
    or lack sufficient technical competence.

    What you call "verified facts" are generally nothing of the kind. They
    are merely things, often false, you would like to be true.



    *One key example of a denied verified fact is when Joes said*

    On 7/18/2025 3:49 AM, joes wrote:
    very obvious that HHH cannot simulate
    DDD past the call to HHH.

    Joes is quite right, here, as has been said to you many times over by
    several people.

    HHH(DDD) does emulate itself emulating DDD

    You will have a get out clause from the vagueness of your language, which could be construed to mean practically anything.

    typedef void (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    void DDD()
    {
    HHH(DDD);
    return;
    }

    int main()
    {
    HHH(DDD);
    }

    Not at all. HHH does emulate the x86 machine code
    of DDD pointed to by P. That is does this according
    to the semantics of the x86 language conclusively
    proves that this emulation is correct.

    When this emulated DDD calls an emulated HHH(DDD)
    all of the code of this emulated DDD is in the same
    global memory space of Halt7.obj.

    Thus HHH(DDD) does begin emulating itself emulating
    DDD. It emulates itself emulating DDD until the
    emulated emulated DDD calls HHH(DDD) again.

    *This is all proven right here*
    https://liarparadox.org/HHH(DDD)_Full_Trace.pdf

    Because x86UTM is a multi-tasking operating system it
    enables the context switch between the emulator and
    the emulated.

    The x86utm operating system function DebugStep()
    on line 1638 enables this with its helper functions

    SaveState(emu, master_state); // Saves master process state
    LoadState(emu, (u32)slave_state); // Changes to slave process state


    https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/x86utm.cpp

    But it is a lie to say
    that "HHH(DDD) ... emulating DDD" is a verified fact. If I am mistaken there, just say who has done the verification, how, and when.


    *The code has always proved this for several years*

    After I have conclusively proven:

    https://liarparadox.org/HHH(DDD)_Full_Trace.pdf

    You frequently deny verified facts. You "deny" established definitions. >>> It has been established on this newsgroup that you have lied on it.

    That statement is libelous.

    It might be libellous if it were false.


    That you won't even try to prove that it is
    true by finding a single time/date stamped
    quote of mine with any error in the essence
    of any of may claims provides a weight of evidence
    that I made no mistakes.

    No one can even point to a false statement that I made, thus cannot
    point to an intentionally false statement that I made.

    I just pointed one out where you mendaciously state "One key example of a
    ... verified fact is ...", and then citing something which wasn't a
    verified fact.


    The code has proven it is a verified fact for several years.

    More seriously, you told Ben Bacarisse on this newsgroup that you had
    fully worked out turing machines which broke a proof of the Halting
    Theorem. It transpired you were lying. When the topic came up again for discussion, you failed to deny writing the original lie.


    That is the closest thing to a lie that I ever said.
    When I said this I was actually meaning that I had
    fully operational C code that is equivalent to a
    Turing Machine.

    Feel free to cut-and-paste a time/date stamped quote
    of anything that I said that you have construed as false.

    I've got better things to do with my time.


    If you call me a liar and cannot even point to a mistake
    that is libelous.

    Several times it has become apparent that your technical programming
    competence leaves a lot to be desired.

    I did make one key mistake when referring to
    lines-of-code versus statements in C.

    At one time you repeatedly posted the source code of a C function with a syntax error in it, despite being repeatedly advised of this, and even
    what the error was.


    Yes I did make these kind of mistakes that do
    not pertain to the essence of my claim:

    typedef void (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    int DD()
    {
    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
    if (Halt_Status)
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
    }

    int main()
    {
    HHH(DD);
    }

    The input to HHH(DD) specifies that DD simulated by
    HHH (according to the semantics of the C programming
    language) specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.

    All rebuttals to this (including Ben's) have been
    the strawman error of referring to the behavior of the
    directly executed DD().

    It is common knowledge that directly executed Turing
    machines are outside of the domain of Turing machine
    deciders. This means that no Turing machine decider
    can ever directly report on the behavior or any directly
    executed Turing machine.

    The best that they can do is use a machine description
    as a proxy for the behavior of the direct execution.

    When HHH(DD) computes the mapping *from its input* to
    the behavior that this input specifies it correctly
    determines that the recursive simulation that this
    input specifies is non-halting behavior.

    Consistent honesty and truthfulness is what I have hoped for from you for >>> a long time, now. With it, we could have a productive exchange of views. >>> I doubt we will ever see this, though.


    I would love to have this with you. I have initially
    assessed that you may be very competent.

    You may take it that I fully competent in C programming, amongst other things.


    Do you have at least a decade of full time experience at this?

    Its not that hard to determine that DD simulated by HHH
    (according to the semantics of the C programming language)
    specifies the non halting behavior of recursive simulation.

    Joes is quite right, here, as has been said to you many times over by
    several people.

    HHH(DDD) does emulate itself emulating DDD

    You will have a get out clause from the vagueness of your language, which
    could be construed to mean practically anything.

    typedef void (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    void DDD()
    {
    HHH(DDD);
    return;
    }

    int main()
    {
    HHH(DDD);
    }

    Not at all. HHH does emulate the x86 machine code
    of DDD pointed to by P. That is does this according
    to the semantics of the x86 language conclusively
    proves that this emulation is correct.

    That's nauseatingly overstretching things into another lie. Whatever HHH
    might do is far short of sufficient "conclusively to prove" that the
    emulation is correct. To prove that is likely impossible in principle,
    that's even assuming you could define "correct" coherently.

    This continual hyperbole of yours is one of the things which establishes
    your reputation as a liar.

    When this emulated DDD calls an emulated HHH(DDD)
    all of the code of this emulated DDD is in the same
    global memory space of Halt7.obj.

    Thus HHH(DDD) does begin emulating itself emulating
    DDD. It emulates itself emulating DDD until the
    emulated emulated DDD calls HHH(DDD) again.

    *This is all proven right here* https://liarparadox.org/HHH(DDD)_Full_Trace.pdf

    Because x86UTM is a multi-tasking operating system it
    enables the context switch between the emulator and
    the emulated.

    The x86utm operating system function DebugStep()
    on line 1638 enables this with its helper functions

    SaveState(emu, master_state); // Saves master process state
    LoadState(emu, (u32)slave_state); // Changes to slave process state


    https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/x86utm.cpp

    But it is a lie to say
    that "HHH(DDD) ... emulating DDD" is a verified fact. If I am mistaken
    there, just say who has done the verification, how, and when.


    *The code has always proved this for several years*

    Like I said, your saying "verified fact" is a lie. By it, you just mean
    that you've written the code, therefore (in your opinion) it must be
    correct.

    Words mean things, and if you use a common phrase to mean something
    different from its usual meaning with intention to deceive, you are
    lying. That is what you are doing, here.

    After I have conclusively proven:

    https://liarparadox.org/HHH(DDD)_Full_Trace.pdf

    You frequently deny verified facts. You "deny" established definitions. >>>> It has been established on this newsgroup that you have lied on it.

    That statement is libelous.

    It might be libellous if it were false.


    That you won't even try to prove that it is
    true by finding a single time/date stamped
    quote of mine with any error in the essence
    of any of may claims provides a weight of evidence
    that I made no mistakes.

    I have shown you to be a liar a few paragraphs above, where you have mendaciously used "verified fact". Feel free to look up the time stamp
    of this message if you really want it.

    No one can even point to a false statement that I made, thus cannot
    point to an intentionally false statement that I made.

    I just pointed one out where you mendaciously state "One key example of a
    ... verified fact is ...", and then citing something which wasn't a
    verified fact.


    The code has proven it is a verified fact for several years.

    Who has verified it, how much were they paid, and who by?

    More seriously, you told Ben Bacarisse on this newsgroup that you had
    fully worked out turing machines which broke a proof of the Halting
    Theorem. It transpired you were lying. When the topic came up again for
    discussion, you failed to deny writing the original lie.


    That is the closest thing to a lie that I ever said.
    When I said this I was actually meaning that I had
    fully operational C code that is equivalent to a
    Turing Machine.

    I think it was a full blown lie intended to deceive. Did you ever
    apologise to Ben for leading him up the garden path like that?

    You have not and never have had "fully operational C code" that breaks a
    proof of the Halting Theorem. To say you had this, when you clearly
    didn't, was a lie.

    Feel free to cut-and-paste a time/date stamped quote
    of anything that I said that you have construed as false.

    I've got better things to do with my time.


    If you call me a liar and cannot even point to a mistake
    that is libelous.

    I've pointed out your whopper to Ben, and your falsely writing about
    alleged verified facts.

    That's enough justifiably to call you a liar.

    Several times it has become apparent that your technical programming
    competence leaves a lot to be desired.

    I did make one key mistake when referring to
    lines-of-code versus statements in C.

    At one time you repeatedly posted the source code of a C function with a
    syntax error in it, despite being repeatedly advised of this, and even
    what the error was.


    Yes I did make these kind of mistakes that do
    not pertain to the essence of my claim:

    They point to a certain lack of competence, a certain lack of attention
    to detail which is essential to all computer programming.

    typedef void (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    int DD()
    {
    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
    if (Halt_Status)
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
    }

    int main()
    {
    HHH(DD);
    }

    The input to HHH(DD) specifies that DD simulated by
    HHH (according to the semantics of the C programming
    language) specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.

    All rebuttals to this (including Ben's) have been
    the strawman error of referring to the behavior of the
    directly executed DD().

    And your lack of care for the truth will not acknowledge that, by
    definition, a simulation of a program has the same behaviour as the
    original program. Everybody but you appears to know this.

    It is common knowledge that directly executed Turing
    machines are outside of the domain of Turing machine
    deciders. This means that no Turing machine decider
    can ever directly report on the behavior or any directly
    executed Turing machine.

    That's vague waffle. A universal turing machine does indeed report on
    the behaviour of its input program if so designed. If that input program
    is the same as the "directly executed turing machine" (whatever you might
    mean by that), the UTM will report on the behaviour of the latter.

    The best that they can do is use a machine description
    as a proxy for the behavior of the direct execution.

    Your lack of power of abstraction is leading you astray, here.

    When HHH(DD) computes the mapping *from its input* to
    the behavior that this input specifies it correctly
    determines that the recursive simulation that this
    input specifies is non-halting behavior.

    This has been comprehensively dealt with by other posters on this group.

    Consistent honesty and truthfulness is what I have hoped for from you for >>>> a long time, now. With it, we could have a productive exchange of views. >>>> I doubt we will ever see this, though.


    I would love to have this with you. I have initially
    assessed that you may be very competent.

    You may take it that I fully competent in C programming, amongst other
    things.


    Do you have at least a decade of full time experience at this?

    I have nearer 40 years experience than a decade.

    Its not that hard to determine that DD simulated by HHH
    (according to the semantics of the C programming language)
    specifies the non halting behavior of recursive simulation.

    Right, but it can't emulated the call HHH and the following instruciton

    Thus, you LIE about what the input is.


    *That is a 100% concrete example of correct emulation*

    Nope, it is just PARTIAL correct emulation, as it missed the last part

    The "impossible" part is for HHH to simulate the code of HHH per the x86 lamgage without it being part of its input.

    OR for it to be different than the code of the HHH that DDD was built to
    call and be at the same address (thus, if you can simulate the code of
    HHH, it is ALWAYS the same code for a given "input" DDD, and there is no "infinite set of HHHs" that see the same DDD, they each see a DIFFERENT
    one, and thus you can't compare the results.

    Which isn't a program, you need to include the code for HHH.



    As usual irrelevant claims without evidence:

    *Yet again your attention deficit disorder*
    I have told you countless times that all of
    the machine code for every function is in
    the same global memory space of halt7.obj.

    So, why don't you include it in the input? Suggesting that those 18
    bytes are the input is misleading.


    I have also told you countless times that HHH
    does simulate itself simulating DDD and I
    have proven this by this execution trace.

    But the trace shows that it does not simulate itself up to the end, even though you claim that HHH returns, so there must be an end.

    It never has been that I do not understand
    the definitions of words it is that I have
    proven that some of these definitions are incorrect.

    That you think a definition is incorrect does not change the defined
    meaning. If you don't accept the definition the best you can do is
    that you don't use the term.


    That I prove that a definition is derived from provably
    false assumptions proves that this definition is incorrect.

    As usual incorrect claims without evidence. Nobody ever saw the proof.>
    No one here is capable of paying enough attention to my
    proof that the halting problem definition is incorrect
    because my proof requires two steps and no one here can
    even pay attention to one step.

    Even the first step has many errors. But you close your eyes and pretend
    that nobody showed these errors to you.


    *This right here is a type mismatch error*
    The simplest step is that no Turing machine decider
    ever takes another directly executing Turing machine
    as its input yet the halting problem requires a halt
    decider to report on the behavior of the directly
    executed machine.

    Nobody require the decider to report on the direct execution of another machine. But if the input specifies a halting program, but HHH is unable
    to report that, HHH just fails.


    This would not be an issue if the correct simulation
    of a Turing machine description always had the exact
    same behavior as the directly executed machine.

    It has, because that is the definition of behaviour. The semantics of
    the x86 language does not allow multiple interpretations for the
    behaviour. The same holds for other machine languages.


    Everyone here sees that the behavior is not the same
    and rules that the simulation is wrong because it
    differs from the behavior of the direct execution.
    *That is an incorrect measure of correct simulation*


    We only see that HHH fails to do a correct simulation up to the end,
    because of a premature abort. We see bugs in HHH, where it concludes
    from a finite recursion that there is a non-halting behaviour.

    When the halting problem proof requires reporting on

    Turing machine based halt decider can take another
    directly executing Turing machine as an input then
    this is an error.

    To correct this error we redefine the halting problem

    No one here is capable of paying enough attention to my

    because my proof requires two steps and no one here can

    It is sufficient to note that "definition is incorrect" is a category

    Right, so YOU are the liar.

    It is a verified fact that the PROGRAM DDD halts since your HHH(DDD)
    returns 0.


    When I say that DDD simulated by HHH does not
    halt you dishonestly change the subject.


    Because you are just showing you don't know English.


    Not at all. You dishonestly change the subject to
    something besides DDD simulated by HHH.

    It is a verified fact that the PROGRAM DDD halts
    since your HHH(DDD) returns 0.

    Turing machine halt deciders cannot possibly take
    directly executed Turing machines as inputs thus
    the behavior of any directly executed machine has
    always been outside of the domain of every Turing
    machine halt decider.

    Every time that any proof says that decider H is
    reporting on whether machine M halts on input i
    this has always been incorrect.

    Turing machine halt deciders can only report on
    the behavior that their finite string input specifies.

    Right, so YOU are the liar.

    It is a verified fact that the PROGRAM DDD halts since your HHH(DDD)
    returns 0.


    When I say that DDD simulated by HHH does not
    halt you dishonestly change the subject.


    Because you are just showing you don't know English.


    Not at all. You dishonestly change the subject to
    something besides DDD simulated by HHH.

    No, YOU changed the subject of the problem from the OBJECTIVE behavior
    of the execution of DDD, to the SUBJECTIVE criteria of what HHH sees.


    It is a verified fact that the PROGRAM DDD halts
    since your HHH(DDD) returns 0.

    Turing machine halt deciders cannot possibly take
    directly executed Turing machines as inputs thus
    the behavior of any directly executed machine has
    always been outside of the domain of every Turing
    machine halt decider.

    Sure they can, via the same representation as some UTM, whose simulation
    will determine if that input halts or not.


    Every time that any proof says that decider H is
    reporting on whether machine M halts on input i
    this has always been incorrect.

    No, it jsut shows you don't understand what you are talking about.

    Your stupdity and lack of understanding does not make the arguments
    incorrect, just incomprehesible TO YOU.


    Turing machine halt deciders can only report on
    the behavior that their finite string input specifies.


    Which *IS* the behavior of the directly executed machine that it
    represents, as shown by the simulation by an ACTUAL UTM (that doesn't
    stop till it gets to a final state).

    Your trying to change that definition just makes you whole argument a
    strawman and a lie.

    The fact that you ignore this error is just an admission that you know
    you aren't working with actual facts, but don't care, as truth doesn't
    matter to you, just you false ideas.

    Repeating the agreement with a vacuous statement is no rebuttal.
    Since there is no H that correctly simulates D until it correctly
    detects that its D would never stop unless aborted', the conclusion is irrelevant.

    D halts even when not aborted, because it calls a function H that aborts
    and halts. The simulation of an aborting H has no need to be aborted.
    Unless you change the input, but that is cheating.

    But your HHH DOES stop running.


    HHH would not stop running unless HHH aborts its
    simulation this proves that the input specifies
    non-halting behavior.

    Counter factual. World class simulators do not abort the simulation of
    exactly the same input and show that the final halt state can be reached.
    There is no need that the simulating HHH aborts when the simulated HHH
    already aborts.

    But your HHH DOES stop running.


    HHH would not stop running unless HHH aborts its
    simulation this proves that the input specifies
    non-halting behavior.

    So? since it does, it does, and thus DDD does.

    The input built on the non-aborting HHH would be non-halting, but a
    different input.

    You just don't understand what you are talking about, perhaps because
    you don't know what a program is.

    Or maybe you do, since you have admitted that your HHH and DDD aren't programs, but you think it is ok you make the category error of using
    them in a place that needs programs, because you think rules don't apply.

    Your problem is you have lied to yourself about the nature of the things
    you are talking, if DDD is suitable to be asked about halting, it is one specific program, and thus includes the code for the one specific HHH
    that it calls, and is a different program for different HHHs, and thus
    you statement above is just a deception that conflates two different
    things that you have deceptively named the same.

    All you are doing is proving that you are just a pathological liar, that either doesn't have the mental capacity to learn the basics of the
    system, or the moral capacity to care about the rules and truth, or
    both. (a moral idiot would at least see that they didn't understand
    something and stop lying).


    The DDD built on your hypothetical HHH that doesn't is a different DDD
    then the given to your real HHH, and thus its behavior is irrelevent.


    HHH emulates DDD and then emulates itself emulating DDD
    until it sees that this emulated emulated DDD calls
    HHH(DDD) to do this again.



    Whixh means you admirt that you "input" above is incomplete, as HHH
    can't "emulate itself" unless it is in the input that it uses.

    THus we have diffferent input when we have different HHHs.

    Your arguments to the contray are just admitting that neither your HHH
    or your DDD are in the category of Programs, as required by the
    problem, and thus your whole argument is a category error.

    All you are doing it just proving and confirming that you are just a
    pathological liar that doesn't know what he is talking about, and
    doesn't care about that error, as you think lies and strawmen are
    acceptable logic.

        If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its

        would never stop running unless aborted then

    </MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>



    And since D halts when run, H could never have proved that any correct simulation of it will not stop, and thus never meet the requirements.

    Changing D to use an H that acts differently is out of scope and a lie,
    since now D isn't the D in question, and to be honest, needed to have
    been given a new name.

    But then honest was never a concept you followed, so you like to give
    totally different programs the same name.

    Which isn't a program, you need to include the code for HHH.


    *Yet again your attention deficit disorder*
    I have told you countless times that all of
    the machine code for every function is in
    the same global memory space of halt7.obj.

    Doesn't matter what "is in the memory space", what matters is what
    is considedred part of the program, and thus part of the input.


    Neither HHH nor DDD would ever stop running unless
    HHH aborts its emulation of DDD.

    But your HHH DOES stop running.


    Yet you know that you changed the question to a different question.


    No, YOU DID, I put it back.

    The problem is you just don't understand the question, apparently
    because it uses something too abstract for you, the concept of
    representation.

    And it seems, you don't understand that a program is a specific and
    definite algorithm, fully specified, and thus a program always does the
    same thing every time it is run with the same input, which is all it
    looks at. (or everything it looks at is considered part of its input).

    Right, so YOU are the liar.

    It is a verified fact that the PROGRAM DDD halts since your

    No, YOU changed the subject of the problem from the OBJECTIVE

    Counter-factual.
    That you do not understand the semantics of the

    In the several years that I have presenting this
    not one person has come up with a single correct
    rebuttal to the statement that DD emulated by HHH
    (according to the semantics of the x86 language)
    would ever stop running of not aborted.

    All of the rebuttals either used the strawman
    deception to change the subject or were merely
    a statement that my statement was really really
    disbelieved. No one ever pointed out any actual error.

    D halts even when not aborted,

    Neither DD simulated by HHH, HHH nor DD()
    halts unless HHH aborts its simulation of DD.
    Disagreement is merely a failure to understand.

    because it calls a function H that aborts
    and halts. The simulation of an aborting H has no need to be aborted.
    Unless you change the input, but that is cheating.

    It is always the case that every halt decider is
    only accountable for the behavior that its actual
    input specifies and not accountable for the behavior
    of any non-inputs. The textbooks don't do it this
    way proves that textbooks are wrong.

    Textbooks incorrectly assume that the behavior specified
    by the finite string machine description of ⟨M⟩ is always
    the same as the behavior of machine M. That is not the
    case when M calls its own termination analyzer.

    Turing machine halt deciders compute the mapping from
    their input finite strings to the behavior that these
    finite strings specify.

    Every input that must have its simulation aborted to
    prevent its infinite execution is a non-terminating

    Alternatively any input D simulated by termination

    halt state no matter what H does specifies non-halting
    behavior.

    You bisimilarity is broken

    It shows halting not as a decidable property.
    If you have M1 ~ M2, and M2 is still not decidable
    but has the same notion of termination nevertheless,

    means logically you didn't really make any error,
    only you showed nothing. Not much was gained.

    I guess you need to start all over agan.

    Title: A Structural Analysis of the Standard Halting Problem Proof

    Author: PL Olcott

    Abstract:
    This paper presents a formal critique of the standard proof of the undecidability of the Halting Problem. While we do not dispute the conclusion that the Halting Problem is undecidable, we argue that the conventional proof fails to establish this conclusion due to a
    fundamental misapplication of Turing machine semantics. Specifically, we show that the contradiction used in the proof arises from conflating the behavior of encoded simulations with direct execution, and from making assumptions about a decider's domain that do not hold under a rigorous
    model of computation.

    And HHH1 shows that the simulation of the input DDD doesn't need to be aborted.

    Of course, you must actually be looking at the actual DDD, which calls
    the actual HHH which returns what you claim (as a lie) the correct answer.


    Alternatively any input D simulated by termination
    analyzer H that cannot possibly reach its own final
    halt state no matter what H does specifies non-halting
    behavior.



    Nope, not equivalent, as the given termination analyzer H can only do
    one thing with its input, and thus "no matter what H does" is an
    illogical statement.

    It seems you think A Program can be multiple different programs which
    make THE input into an infinite set of input that you think are all the
    same though they are different, and thus your "proof" is just one big error.

    All you are doing is proving that you have no idea what you are talking
    about and are incapable of learning the basic meaning of the words
    and/or you just don't care.

    As usual counter-factual claims without evidence.

    *Correctly emulated is defined as*
    Emulated according to the rules of the x86 language.
    This includes DDD emulated by HHH and HHH emulating
    itself emulating DDD one or more times.

    Which means that to correctly simulate an instruction, you also must
    simulate the next instruction, as that is part of the x86 language specification, except for terminal instructions.

    Also, it means that since you are defining correct simulaiton of the
    input, that you can only look at the input, and thus to simulate HHH,
    you need to have that code in the input, which you admitted elsewhere by saying it could see it as it was in the same memory space, and thus
    defined that ALL of memory was the input to the funciton.


    *The question is*
    Can DDD correctly emulated by HHH possibly reach
    its own emulated "ret" instruction?


    No, that isn't the question, unless you first stipulate the HHH DOES do
    a correct simulation, at which point it isn't ALLOWED to abort.

    The quesiton is does a correct simulaiton of the EXACT DDD that HHH is simulating, which must include ALL of the code of HHH or it can be done,
    will reach a final state.

    Since you HHH has been shown to abort its simulate of DDD, and return 0,
    so will that correct simulation of the HHH called by DDD will do this
    too (but this will occure AFTER your HHH has aborted its simulation) and
    thus the correct simulation of DDD WILL return, at least if you didn't
    totally lie when you said that HHH returned the "correct" answer of 0,
    instead of just the lie that it was correct.

    Right, so YOU are the liar.

    It is a verified fact that the PROGRAM DDD halts since your
    HHH(DDD) returns 0.


    When I say that DDD simulated by HHH does not
    halt you dishonestly change the subject.


    Because you are just showing you don't know English.


    Not at all. You dishonestly change the subject to
    something besides DDD simulated by HHH.

    No, YOU changed the subject of the problem from the OBJECTIVE
    behavior of the execution of DDD, to the SUBJECTIVE criteria of what
    HHH sees.


    *Its been three years now and you can't remember*
    <MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>
         If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its
         input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D
         would never stop running unless aborted then

         H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
         specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
    </MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>



    Repeating the agreement with a vacuous statement is no rebuttal.
    Since there is no H that correctly simulates D until it correctly
    detects that its D would never stop unless aborted', the conclusion is
    irrelevant.

    Counter-factual.
    That you do not understand the semantics of the
    x86 language well enough to understand that this
    is true is less than no rebuttal at all.

    No, you don't as the above is NOT sufficient to be emulated,


    In the several years that I have presenting this
    not one person has come up with a single correct
    rebuttal to the statement that DD emulated by HHH
    (according to the semantics of the x86 language)
    would ever stop running of not aborted.

    No, you have just been too stupid to see your error and to morally
    corrupt to admit it.


    All of the rebuttals either used the strawman
    deception to change the subject or were merely
    a statement that my statement was really really
    disbelieved. No one ever pointed out any actual error.

    Nope, that is your method.

    The problem is you STARTED with a strawman, that you presume HHH does a correcdt simulation, when it doesn't

    ANd make a category error about the nature of HHH and DDD.


    D halts even when not aborted,

    Neither DD simulated by HHH, HHH nor DD()
    halts unless HHH aborts its simulation of DD.
    Disagreement is merely a failure to understand.

    Sure it doesn, as HHH1 shows, the fact that the HHH that DDD calls
    aborts, as is required by your specification that Halt7.c is part of the memory defining DDD, just means your claim that it might not is just a lie.


    because it calls a function H that aborts and halts. The simulation of
    an aborting H has no need to be aborted.
    Unless you change the input, but that is cheating.

    It is always the case that every halt decider is
    only accountable for the behavior that its actual
    input specifies and not accountable for the behavior
    of any non-inputs. The textbooks don't do it this
    way proves that textbooks are wrong.

    As usual irrelevant claim without evidence
    Up to now you could not point to any textbook that is wrong.


    Textbooks incorrectly assume that the behavior specified
    by the finite string machine description of ⟨M⟩ is always
    the same as the behavior of machine M. That is not the
    case when M calls its own termination analyzer.

    As usual repeated claims without any evidence.
    The behaviour specified in the description of the input does not depend
    on who analyses it. When some analysers are unable to see the whole specification, that is an error in the analyser, it does not change the specification.


    Turing machine halt deciders compute the mapping from
    their input finite strings to the behavior that these
    finite strings specify.

    Exactly.
    And when a halting behaviour is specified, but the analyser is unable to
    see that, the analyser is wrong. It should not compute the behaviour of
    a hypothetical non-halting non-input.

    You have been told many times that these 35 bytes are not the complete
    input. In fact they are the least interesting part of the input. DD is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is that HHH must simulate itself.

    int main() {
    return HHH(main);
    }

    Here is no DD, and your own words are that HHH returns and reports that
    it does not halt.
    This clearly shows that HHH is unable to analyse its own behaviour and produces false negative when it tries to do so.


    Counter-factual.
    That you do not understand the semantics of the
    x86 language well enough to understand that this
    is true is less than no rebuttal at all.

    As usual counter-factual claims.
    We have pointed out that world class simulators (and direct execution)
    are very well able to follow the x86 language up to the final halt
    state. HHH fails to follow the same semantics of the x86 language up to
    the end if it cannot reproduce that for exactly the same input.


    In the several years that I have presenting this
    not one person has come up with a single correct
    rebuttal to the statement that DD emulated by HHH
    (according to the semantics of the x86 language)
    would ever stop running of not aborted.

    We all see that the simulating HHH does not need to erroneously abort,
    because the simulated HHH already erroneously aborts.


    All of the rebuttals either used the strawman
    deception to change the subject or were merely
    a statement that my statement was really really
    disbelieved. No one ever pointed out any actual error.

    As usual counter factual claims.
    Closing your eyes for all errors pointed out to you, does not make them disappear. That is childish. But it seems to belong to your logic. If
    HHH does not see the final halt state, you think it is a proof that that
    final halt state does not exists. Same logic.


    D halts even when not aborted,

    Neither DD simulated by HHH, HHH nor DD()
    halts unless HHH aborts its simulation of DD.

    As usual irrelevant claim.
    The point is: HHH does abort. What happens in your dream with another
    HHH is irrelevant. World class simulators show that DD halts when not
    aborted according to the semantics of the x86 language, because the
    simulated HHH aborts. So indeed:

    Disagreement is merely a failure to understand.


    because it calls a function H that aborts and halts. The simulation of
    an aborting H has no need to be aborted.
    Unless you change the input, but that is cheating.

    Alternatively DD emulated by HHH cannot possibly
    reach its own "ret" instruction and halt no matter
    what HHH does.


    Reaching the final halt state is a proof of halting.
    The opposite is not true. Failing to reach the final halt state is not a
    proof of non-halting. If it were, any simulator aborting after one
    instruction could proof non-halting for most program, with the incorrect reasoning that non-halting was specified for *this* simulator.

    Repeating the agreement with a vacuous statement is no rebuttal.
    Since there is no H that correctly simulates D until it correctly
    detects that its D would never stop unless aborted', the conclusion is
    irrelevant.

    Why repeating irrelevant code? Those 35 bytes are the least interesting
    part of the input. It is HHH that must simulate itself that is interesting.

    int main() {
    return HHH(main);
    }

    Even without DD we see the same problem. Your own words are that it
    halts but reports that it does not halt. HHH is unable to analyse its
    own behaviour. It produces false negative in such cases.



    Counter-factual.
    That you do not understand the semantics of the
    x86 language well enough to understand that this
    is true is less than no rebuttal at all.

    As usual irrelevant and counter factual claim.
    Even if I did not understand it, you cannot find an error in the logic.


    In the several years that I have presenting this
    not one person has come up with a single correct
    rebuttal to the statement that DD emulated by HHH
    (according to the semantics of the x86 language)
    would ever stop running of not aborted.

    All of the rebuttals either used the strawman
    deception to change the subject or were merely
    a statement that my statement was really really
    disbelieved. No one ever pointed out any actual error.

    Irrelevant and counter-factual claim. Closing your eyes for those
    errors does not make them disappear. But seems to belong to your logic.
    HHH uses the same logic: it does not see the final halt state and
    pretends that it does not exist. Very childish.>
    D halts even when not aborted,

    Neither DD simulated by HHH, HHH nor DD()
    halts unless HHH aborts its simulation of DD.

    As usual irrelevant claims.
    What is relevant is that HHH does abort. This aborting HHH is presented
    in the input. That makes DD a halting program. Dreaming of a
    hypothetical non-aborting HHH is irrelevant.

    Disagreement is merely a failure to understand.

    because it calls a function H that aborts and halts. The simulation of
    an aborting H has no need to be aborted.
    Unless you change the input, but that is cheating.

    HHH can't treat the input that calls this HHH (that aborts) as calling
    some other code (a version that does).

    All you are doing is showing that your "logic" is based on lying.

    All that the above shows is that you don't understand
    recursion well enough. If you did understand recursion
    well enough you would understand that the input to HHH(DDD)
    does specify the recursive emulation non-halting behavior
    pattern.

    It is always the case that every halt decider is
    only accountable for the behavior that its actual
    input specifies and not accountable for the behavior
    of any non-inputs. The textbooks don't do it this
    way proves that textbooks are wrong.

    As usual irrelevant claim without evidence
    Up to now you could not point to any textbook that is wrong.


    Textbooks incorrectly assume that the behavior specified
    by the finite string machine description of ⟨M⟩ is always
    the same as the behavior of machine M. That is not the
    case when M calls its own termination analyzer.

    As usual repeated claims without any evidence.
    The behaviour specified in the description of the input does not
    depend on who analyses it. When some analysers are unable to see the
    whole specification, that is an error in the analyser, it does not
    change the specification.


    Turing machine halt deciders compute the mapping from
    their input finite strings to the behavior that these
    finite strings specify.

    Exactly.
    And when a halting behaviour is specified, but the analyser is
    unable to see that, the analyser is wrong. It should not compute the
    behaviour of a hypothetical non-halting non-input.



    *Its been three years now and you can't remember*
    <MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words
    10/13/2022>
         If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its

         H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D >>>>>>>      specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
    </MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words
    10/13/2022>



    Repeating the agreement with a vacuous statement is no rebuttal.
    Since there is no H that correctly simulates D until it correctly >>>>>> detects that its D would never stop unless aborted', the
    conclusion is irrelevant.

    You have been told many times that these 35 bytes are not the
    complete input. In fact they are the least interesting part of the
    input. DD is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is that HHH
    must simulate itself.

            int main() {
              return HHH(main);
            }

    Here is no DD, and your own words are that HHH returns and reports
    that it does not halt.
    This clearly shows that HHH is unable to analyse its own behaviour
    and produces false negative when it tries to do so.


    When-so-ever the input to a simulating termination
    analyzer calls its actual self as (your example above)
    or when the HHH(DDD) input calls HHH(DDD) this does
    specify recursive emulation that must be aborted to
    prevent the non-termination of the directly executed HHH.


    Where do you get this claim from?


    If you understood recursion well enough you
    could have figured this out on your own
    as four different chatbots did figure this
    out on their own.

    REMEMBER the problem order, HHH existed first, and can't change to
    avoid problems, THEN we create the input DDD, which uses that SPECIFIC
    HHH.

    The template DDD might have existed first, but not the program DDD,
    and the input is of the PROGRAM.

    Either it aborted in this condition, at which the program that calls
    it can use that fact to establish that it will halt,

    or it doesn't abort, and then fails in the way you describe.

    HHH can't treat the input that calls this HHH (that aborts) as calling
    some other code (a version that does).

    All you are doing is showing that your "logic" is based on lying.

    All that the above shows is that you don't understand
    recursion well enough. If you did understand recursion
    well enough you would understand that the input to HHH(DDD)
    does specify the recursive emulation non-halting behavior
    pattern.

    No, you don't understand the definition of a PROGRAM.


    _DDD()
    [00002192] 55         push ebp
    [00002193] 8bec       mov ebp,esp
    [00002195] 6892210000 push 00002192  // push DDD
    [0000219a] e833f4ffff call 000015d2  // call HHH
    [0000219f] 83c404     add esp,+04
    [000021a2] 5d         pop ebp
    [000021a3] c3         ret
    Size in bytes:(0018) [000021a3]

    This is NOT a program, and con not be simulated past the call instruction.

    if you specify that we can access the rest of memory including the
    contents of Halt7.c, then that is part of the input, and the program,
    and thus only THAT version of HHH is allowed.

    You can't talk about "changing" it, as you have stipulated what it is,

    Since that version aborts, the "recursive simulition" is finite in depth.

    Your problem is your logic is based on assuming contradictory definitions.


    The conclusive proof that I am right and you are
    wrong is provided by the correct execution trace
    of DDD emulated by HHH.



    But that isn't correct.

    The correct execution trace of DDD shows that it halts.

    And thus you LIE when you say that HHH is correct in its decision from a PARTIAL simulation.

    Sorry, your logic is just based on contradicitions, because you CHOSE to
    not learn the meaning of the words.

    Every time you use the wrong definition, after the correct definition
    has been given, is just another DELIBERATE LIE from you.

    Sorry, but that is the truth.

    Yes, but you call anyone who disagrees with you as being dishonest.



    Changing the subject away from DDD simulated by
    HHH to anything else counts as dishonesty.

    No, insisting that the criteria *IS* DDD simulated by HHH is the
    dishonest claim, since it is a violation of the definition of halting.

    The only simulation that can be used as a replacement for the direct
    execution is the CORRECT (which means complete with no aborting)
    SIMULATION of the exact input, which must include in it ALL the code used.


    I won't call you a liar unless you say a lie.


    The we must also agree that an actual lie only
    includes an INTENTIONALLY false statement.

    Except it doesn't, as, as shown, it also includes statements that are
    just blantently incorrect.



    For example when I refer to DDD correctly emulated
    by HHH I mean that one or more instructions of DDD
    have been emulated by HHH according to the rules
    of the x86 language. This does include HHH emulating

    statement is just a LIE.


    That HHH emulates the exact sequence of machine code bytes
    that it is presented with according to the rules of the x86
    language *IS THE DEFINITION OF CORRECT EMULATION*

    No, you miss the requirement that to be correct, it must continue to the
    final state, as that is also part of the x86 language.

    Partial simulations are NOT "correct" when talking about non-halting.


    You cannot possibly refute that with any kind of correct
    reasoning. That the emulation must be infinite to be
    correct is fucking nuts.



    Its the definition, do refuse to accept the definition is just stupid.

    Your problem is you forget that the definition doesn't require HHH to do
    that simulation, just show that the simulation by the UTM, of the actual
    input (including the code of the original HHH) will not halt.

    This is just your incorrect confusion between Knowledge and Truth.

    The Truth of the halting is established by the UTM, but HHH can't "wait"
    for the UTM, so needs to use proper logic to determine what it will do.

    The problem is that there is no proper logic to allow HHH to determine a correct answer for D/DD (there is for DDD), because which ever answer
    HHH ends up giving the correct answer will be the other.

    For DDD, HHH just needs to return 1 to be correct, but your rules can't justify that answer, so it can't do it and follow your rules.

    That the correct answer is not computable isn't actually a problem, as
    it was reaslized after Turing showned this one question wasn't
    conputable, as the mathemeatics of infinity was discovered, it became
    clear that there MUST have been MANY uncomputable problems by a simple counting argument,but that seems to be beyond your understanding, as I
    don't think you understand even simple infinities.

    input to be infinite is fucking nuts. When one instruction
    of a non-terminating input is correctly emulated then it
    is dishonest to conclude that zero instructions were emulated
    correctly.

    SIMULATION of the exact input, which must include in it ALL the code used.


    I won't call you a liar unless you say a lie.


    The we must also agree that an actual lie only
    includes an INTENTIONALLY false statement.

    Except it doesn't, as, as shown, it also includes statements that are
    just blantently incorrect.


    Since that is not the way that most people take
    the meaning of the word your use of this term
    in that way is libelous.



    For example when I refer to DDD correctly emulated
    by HHH I mean that one or more instructions of DDD
    have been emulated by HHH according to the rules
    of the x86 language. This does include HHH emulating
    itself when the emulated DDD calls HHH(DDD).

    But that ISN'T the definition of a correct simulation, so the
    statement is just a LIE.


    That HHH emulates the exact sequence of machine code bytes
    that it is presented with according to the rules of the x86
    language *IS THE DEFINITION OF CORRECT EMULATION*

    No, you miss the requirement that to be correct, it must continue to the final state, as that is also part of the x86 language.


    That is fucking nuts. Non-terminating inputs cannot
    reach any final state.

    Partial simulations are NOT "correct" when talking about non-halting.

    You cannot possibly refute that with any kind of correct
    reasoning. That the emulation must be infinite to be
    correct is fucking nuts.



    Its the definition, do refuse to accept the definition is just stupid.

    Your problem is you forget that the definition doesn't require HHH to do that simulation, just show that the simulation by the UTM, of the actual input (including the code of the original HHH) will not halt.

    This is just your incorrect confusion between Knowledge and Truth.

    The Truth of the halting is established by the UTM, but HHH can't "wait"
    for the UTM, so needs to use proper logic to determine what it will do.

    The problem is that there is no proper logic to allow HHH to determine a correct answer for D/DD (there is for DDD), because which ever answer
    HHH ends up giving the correct answer will be the other.

    For DDD, HHH just needs to return 1 to be correct, but your rules can't justify that answer, so it can't do it and follow your rules.

    That the correct answer is not computable isn't actually a problem, as
    it was reaslized after Turing showned this one question wasn't
    conputable, as the mathemeatics of infinity was discovered, it became
    clear that there MUST have been MANY uncomputable problems by a simple counting argument,but that seems to be beyond your understanding, as I
    don't think you understand even simple infinities.

    [[ Two year old style rant trimed ]]

    But H can't "Correctly Determine" that, since it isn't true.

    The CORRECT SIMULATION of D WILL HALT, BECAUSE you H ultimate has been
    assumed to detect some pattern and stopped.

    Thus, H can't correctly determine that its, or any correct simulation
    won't halt.

    Your problem is you have injected a contradiction into you logic so you
    can show that both halting and non-halting are "correct" behaivor.


    This is the problem with not knowing the meaning of the words.

    And you can't even use that statement in the first place, until you
    retract you claim that your H isn't "A Program" as required, and neither
    is your D, as that statement relates to a field that only talks about programs.

    This means that the PROGRAM that is the input is based on and includes
    in its code the SPECFIC (and thus singular) decider it is built on, and
    it is only that decider that matters for the proof.

    That means that you argument of the infinite set of deciders simulating
    DDD for all number from 1 to infinity is FALSE, as they each simulate a DIFFERENT DDD, and calling all of them the same is just a LIE.


    You cannot possibly refute that with any kind of correct
    reasoning. That the emulation must be infinite to be
    correct is fucking nuts.

    In other words, you have told your LIE 500 times.

    The problem is that H *CAN'T* correctly determine something that doesn't happen.

    "Its simulated D" refera to a correct simulation of the D that it was
    given, not its simulation of D to refer to the simulation that it does,
    as with that meaning, H could just abort immediately and claim that its simulation just can't reach the final state (maybe simulate one step if
    you want to be pedantic).

    SInce the correct simulation of D will see the application of H to the
    input and will eventually see its reaching the point it decides to abort (which is after the simulation by H has been aborted, so H can't know
    this) and return non-halting to D so it halts.

    Since you can't correctly dettermine a property happend that doesn't
    happen, H can't have correctly determined that the simulation in
    question can't reach a final state.

    Your logic is just based on lying about what simulation was being talked about, becuase you just don't know the rules of the system.

    All you are doing is proving your utter ignorance of the meaning of the
    words by misusing them, and that you just don't care, by not correcting
    your self when errors are pointed out to you.

    Sorry, but that is what you are actually proving.

    OK I will refrain from calling anyone a liar while
    I see that this is mutually respected and there is
    no evidence that the reply is in any way dishonest.

    Since you see anyone who disagrees with you as being dishonest >>>>>>>> that doesn't count.


    Disagreeing doesn't count as dishonesty.

    Yes, but you call anyone who disagrees with you as being dishonest. >>>>>>

    I didn't call them a liar just because they disagreed.
    I called them a liar when they changed the words that
    I said and then used these changed words as the basis
    of their rebuttal.


    Changing the subject away from DDD simulated by
    HHH to anything else counts as dishonesty.

    No,

    Yes you are a liar otherwise.

    insisting that the criteria *IS* DDD simulated by HHH is the
    dishonest claim, since it is a violation of the definition of
    halting.


    If you want to insist on lying I will not stop calling you a liar.

    The only simulation that can be used as a replacement for the
    direct execution is the CORRECT (which means complete with no
    aborting)

    That you expect a correct simulation of a non-terminating
    input to be infinite is fucking nuts. When one instruction
    of a non-terminating input is correctly emulated then it
    is dishonest to conclude that zero instructions were emulated
    correctly.

    SIMULATION of the exact input, which must include in it ALL the
    code used.


    I won't call you a liar unless you say a lie.


    The we must also agree that an actual lie only
    includes an INTENTIONALLY false statement.

    Except it doesn't, as, as shown, it also includes statements that >>>>>> are just blantently incorrect.


    Since that is not the way that most people take
    the meaning of the word your use of this term
    in that way is libelous.



    For example when I refer to DDD correctly emulated
    by HHH I mean that one or more instructions of DDD
    have been emulated by HHH according to the rules
    of the x86 language. This does include HHH emulating
    itself when the emulated DDD calls HHH(DDD).

    But that ISN'T the definition of a correct simulation, so the >>>>>>>> statement is just a LIE.


    That HHH emulates the exact sequence of machine code bytes
    that it is presented with according to the rules of the x86
    language *IS THE DEFINITION OF CORRECT EMULATION*

    No, you miss the requirement that to be correct, it must continue >>>>>> to the final state, as that is also part of the x86 language.


    That is fucking nuts. Non-terminating inputs cannot
    reach any final state.

    Partial simulations are NOT "correct" when talking about non-halting. >>>>>>

    <MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022> >>>>>      If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its
         input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D
         would never stop running unless aborted then

    until H correctly determines
    until H correctly determines

    [[ Two year old style rant trimed ]]

    But H can't "Correctly Determine" that, since it isn't true.

    The CORRECT SIMULATION of D WILL HALT, BECAUSE you H ultimate has
    been assumed to detect some pattern and stopped.

    such that this emulated DDD reaches its own emulated
    "ret" instruction final halt state
    *you will be considered a fucking liar*


    That is just a lIE.

    *You dishonestly changed the words that I said, as you always do*
    *Here are the words that I actually said*
    (according to the rules of the x86 language)


    Because your HHH ignores the last step of the last instruction it
    processes, that of execute the next instruction.

    One error means not correct.

    Sorry, YOU are the dishonest one.

    And remember, Simulation/Emulation was never allowed by definition, it
    can only be allowed by equivalence, and partial simulation fails the equivalence test.

    All you are doing is showing how poorly you understand anything you are supposed to be doing.
