    The problem with the diagonal generation isn't the generation of
    the diagonal itself, but effectively enumerating the enumeration
    in the first place.

    i don't see any indication that turing realized a difference there

    Then you zre just showing your stupidity, because YOU can't tell the
    difference.

    After all, on page 246 he says:

    The computable sequences are therefore not enumerable.

    Here is is SPECIFICALLY talking about the effective enumeration of
    the computable sequences.

    He then points out that he can directly show that the "anti-
    diagonal" of the (non-effectively computed) enumeration can't be
    computed but that "This proof, although perfectly sound, has the
    disadvantage that it may leave the reader with a feeling that 'there
    must be something wrong'".

    it is wrong,

    No, YOU are wrong, as you don't understand what is being done.

    I think he is refering he to the standard anti-diagonal arguement,
    which shows that since for all n, position n differs from the value in
    number n, there can not be any element that matches the anti-diagonal.

    It is just a natural fact of countable infinity, something it seems
    you just don't understand.

    Show how that is actually wrong.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's short
    diagonal proof, but in writing this post i now find myself in a subtle,
    yet entirely critical disagreement:

    /let an be the n-th computable sequence, and let -an(m) be the m-th
    figure in an. Let +# be the sequence with 1--an(m) as its n-th. figure. Since +# is computable, there exists a number K [== +#] such that 1--an(n)
    = -aK(n) for all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 = 2-aK(K), i.e. 1 is even.
    This is impossible/

    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is
    computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal using the direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look simple, but this ignores the complexities of self-referential analysis (like what turing details on the next page)

    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the direct diagonal (either (1) filtering TMs or (2) using RTMs), neither can be
    used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    in (1) the algo to compute an inverse diagonal is filtered out like
    turing's paradoxical variation of the direct diagonal would be, and
    there is no analogous non-paradoxical variation that has a hard coded
    value that is inverse to what it does return ... such a concept is
    entirely nonsensical. a function can only return what it does, it can't
    also return the inverse to what it returns eh???

    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just fails
    for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo urself (p7 of
    re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let +# be the sequence with 1--an(m) as its n-th/

    that sentence there, ben, from p246,

    is the sentence of turing's paper /on computable numbers/ that i start
    to diagree with,

    that sentence just is wrong to imply anything about the computability of
    a number

    /there exists a number K [== +#] such that 1--an(n)
    = -aK(n) for all n/

    and that sentence is *only* /half-true/

    it's *correct* in that can't be computed by a TM,

    whoever a human with a TM could still write it down, but a human could
    never pass that input entirely to a finite running machine eh???

    so i kinda think the ct-thesis is actually cooked in a way

    \_(paa)_/->


    is just not sufficient evidence that such +# is actually computable given the direct diagonal -an()

    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across the
    computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and
    thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute
    computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not
    computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the other
    machines, including his original H that doesn't use your "trick"




    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that the
    Decider "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate the sequence
    of machine that produce computable numbers can not esit.

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that the
    attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue with
    effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for computing
    the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on his
    given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide correctly
    on H to compute a diagonal


    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it will
    still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /undecidable input/ of
    H, so therefore both D and H are an incomplete specifications of a machine


    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will
    compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL be
    circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus DOES
    produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you H
    tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order, you
    WILL hit these actual machines built on your erroneous D (your D must
    have this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus you will be wrong on
    THAT input. IT doesn't matter if you get a good answer for yourself.


    idk what he would have said about it, but prolly something more
    substantial than just calling me ignorant repeatedly

    I doubt it.

    He likely would have gotten frustrated by your idiodic assertion of
    bad logic. You would have likely been escorted out of the meeting as
    showing you were unqualified and being a distraction.



    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant understanding.



    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you can make the >>>>>> diagonal, and thus the anti-diagonal. The problem is you can't
    make that enumeration, and assuming you can just shows unsoundness. >>>>>
    interestingly: one can only fix the direct diagonal computation
    like this

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti-diagonal
    computation. it's not possible hard code a machine to return an
    inverted value, a machine can only return what it does, not the
    inverse of what it does...

    so if we can filter out paradoxes from the enumeration, that will
    leave a direct diagonal computation extant in that filtered (yet
    still turing complete list), while any attempt to compute an
    inverse diagonal will not be

    But the problem is that "paradoxical machines" don't exist in
    isolation, but only in relationship to a given machine trying to
    decide them.

    right. so if ur constructing a diagonal across computable numbers
    then u only need to filter out paradoxes in regards to the classifier
    that classifies them as a "satisfactory" number

    Right, which he shows can not be done.

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out such paradoxes...

    (also why do always just make random assertions???)



    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable as
    satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those that
    are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will not be
    complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it
    will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable
    numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which either
    *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in regards to
    *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of the
    computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with said
    machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /computable numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done, since
    ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't do what
    you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is not the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines that compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a) does not
    need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    (b) probably can't be done with TMs



    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical
    machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without such
    paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a definable
    property (let alone computable). Part of the problem is that if you
    look at just a machine description, it doesn't (necessarily) tell you
    about the use of an "interface" as that use of an interface can be
    just inlined, leaving nothing "in the code" to show it exists.

    i'm sorry, are you actually saying the machine description does not
    describe what the machine does???

    lol





    His specified H, with an actually (incorrect) implementation of D
    (which is all that CAN exist) will either be circle-free and thus
    generate a number (but its D said it isn't, and thus omitted a valid
    machine from the list) or it isn't circle-free, and fails to computa
    a number, and thus should have been omitted from the list but wasn't.

    Thus any H that ACTUALLY EXISTS, isn't a "paradox", it is just built
    on an assuption in error.


    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal
    computation does not actually then imply the existence of an anti-
    diagonal computation, due the same particular self-referential
    weirdness that stumped turing the first place

    But there is no actuall SELF-REFERENCE, so your logic is just based
    on ERROR.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a number
    that happens to represent yourself means that you you system "ALL"
    doesn't actually mean ALL, and thus is just ill-defined.

    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that directly
    refers to yourself, as a "self-reference" ???

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have

    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine encoded
    into it, it's not "just" a number whatever that means

    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not self- references


    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs, but
    doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number" doesn't
    actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the paradox detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating an actual
    problem

    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an input classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in regards to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

    -a und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

    -a paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier like such:

    -a undp = () -> {
    -a-a-a if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
    -a-a-a-a-a if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
    -a }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case doesn't
    run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine is necessary for the particular input->output computation being done, so utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to filter out paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes will suffice to produce a turing complete subset of machines that can be totally
    classified by halts()

    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an expectation
    of a certain cleanliness in the logic as being the only possibility here
    to compute what we want. TM's can't achieve that, but something slightly messier can.




    dear future: u see this shit i'm trying work with???? sorry i didn't
    manage to make progress any faster, but i'm literally dragging
    toddlers kicking and screaming at this point jeez...


    In other words, in your world "ALL" isn't a word that can actually be
    used.

    You don't understand that you need to use actual sound logic,

    lol, i can only EfOA someone would engage in sound logic with me

    This just shows that you real problem is you don't understand what
    the actual problem is, and your world is just build on things that
    are lies.

    IT seems that fundamentally, your world doesn't actually have
    "computations" as you don't understand the basic requirement that
    they need to be fully defined in the actions they do.

    Actually, the problem is that a computation machine can't write the
    array of numbers in the first place, even given infinite time, because
    it is uncomputable.

    Nor can a person, as people can only do finite work, and the array is infinite.

    The point is that for the proof, we can assume, by the axiom of choice,
    that such a enumeration exists, but we can't assume that a computation
    can make it.

    It seems you don't understand that difference.

    We can imagine it, and even define how it is created, but it turns out
    that method needs some "non-computational" steps, like classifying
    machines by a non-computable classification.



    is just not sufficient evidence that such +# is actually computable
    given the direct diagonal -an()

    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,

    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will
    compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL be
    circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus DOES
    produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you H
    tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order, you
    WILL hit these actual machines built on your erroneous D (your D must
    have this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus you will be wrong
    on THAT input. IT doesn't matter if you get a good answer for yourself.


    idk what he would have said about it, but prolly something more
    substantial than just calling me ignorant repeatedly

    I doubt it.

    He likely would have gotten frustrated by your idiodic assertion of
    bad logic. You would have likely been escorted out of the meeting as
    showing you were unqualified and being a distraction.



    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant understanding.



    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you can make the >>>>>>> diagonal, and thus the anti-diagonal. The problem is you can't
    make that enumeration, and assuming you can just shows unsoundness. >>>>>>
    interestingly: one can only fix the direct diagonal computation
    like this

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti-diagonal
    computation. it's not possible hard code a machine to return an
    inverted value, a machine can only return what it does, not the
    inverse of what it does...

    so if we can filter out paradoxes from the enumeration, that will >>>>>> leave a direct diagonal computation extant in that filtered (yet
    still turing complete list), while any attempt to compute an
    inverse diagonal will not be

    But the problem is that "paradoxical machines" don't exist in
    isolation, but only in relationship to a given machine trying to
    decide them.

    right. so if ur constructing a diagonal across computable numbers
    then u only need to filter out paradoxes in regards to the
    classifier that classifies them as a "satisfactory" number

    Right, which he shows can not be done.

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out such paradoxes...

    (also why do always just make random assertions???)



    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable
    as satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those that
    are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will not be
    complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it
    will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable
    numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which either
    *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in regards to
    *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of
    the computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with said
    machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /computable
    numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done, since
    ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't do what
    you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is not
    the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines that
    compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a)
    does not need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    (b) probably can't be done with TMs



    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical
    machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without such
    paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a definable
    property (let alone computable). Part of the problem is that if you
    look at just a machine description, it doesn't (necessarily) tell you
    about the use of an "interface" as that use of an interface can be
    just inlined, leaving nothing "in the code" to show it exists.

    i'm sorry, are you actually saying the machine description does not
    describe what the machine does???

    lol





    His specified H, with an actually (incorrect) implementation of D
    (which is all that CAN exist) will either be circle-free and thus
    generate a number (but its D said it isn't, and thus omitted a
    valid machine from the list) or it isn't circle-free, and fails to
    computa a number, and thus should have been omitted from the list
    but wasn't.

    Thus any H that ACTUALLY EXISTS, isn't a "paradox", it is just
    built on an assuption in error.


    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal
    computation does not actually then imply the existence of an anti- >>>>>> diagonal computation, due the same particular self-referential
    weirdness that stumped turing the first place

    But there is no actuall SELF-REFERENCE, so your logic is just based >>>>> on ERROR.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a number >>>>> that happens to represent yourself means that you you system "ALL"
    doesn't actually mean ALL, and thus is just ill-defined.

    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that directly
    refers to yourself, as a "self-reference" ???

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have

    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine
    encoded into it, it's not "just" a number whatever that means

    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not self-
    references


    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs, but
    doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number" doesn't
    actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the paradox
    detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating an actual
    problem

    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an input
    classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in regards
    to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

    -a-a und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

    -a-a paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier
    like such:

    -a-a undp = () -> {
    -a-a-a-a if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
    -a-a-a-a-a-a if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
    -a-a }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case
    doesn't run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine is
    necessary for the particular input->output computation being done, so
    utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to filter out
    paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes will suffice to
    produce a turing complete subset of machines that can be totally
    classified by halts()

    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an
    expectation of a certain cleanliness in the logic as being the only
    possibility here to compute what we want. TM's can't achieve that, but
    something slightly messier can.




    dear future: u see this shit i'm trying work with???? sorry i didn't
    manage to make progress any faster, but i'm literally dragging
    toddlers kicking and screaming at this point jeez...


    In other words, in your world "ALL" isn't a word that can actually be
    used.

    You don't understand that you need to use actual sound logic,

    lol, i can only EfOA someone would engage in sound logic with me





    ...which u won't find interesting, but i can't fix a lack of
    curiosity

    Efn+



    expected was an inexpert audience, supposing that experts will >>>>>>>>> recognise
    the relevant mapping to universal quantification?





    This just shows that you real problem is you don't understand what
    the actual problem is, and your world is just build on things that
    are lies.

    IT seems that fundamentally, your world doesn't actually have
    "computations" as you don't understand the basic requirement that
    they need to be fully defined in the actions they do.
