    They have done no such thing, because they can't

    Since yoiu feed them lies, all you have done is shown that you think
    lies are valid logic.

    I have been rude because I cannot interpret the
    rebuttal to this statement as anything besides
    a despicable lie for the sole purpose of sadistic
    pleasure of gaslighting:

    Because you are just too stupid.

    How is the "pattern" that HHH detects a non-halting pattern, when
    non- halting is DEFINED by the behavior of the directly executed
    machine, and the pattern you are thinking of exists in the execution
    of the DDD that halts because it was built on the same HHH you claim
    is correct to return 0,

    Thus, your claim *IS* just a lie, and you shows your ignorance by
    saying you can't undetstand how it is one.


    <input to chat bots>
    typedef void (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

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

    int main()
    {
    -a-a HHH(DDD);
    -a-a DDD();
    }

    Termination Analyzer HHH simulates its input until
    it detects a non-terminating behavior pattern. When
    HHH detects such a pattern it aborts its simulation
    and returns 0.
    </input to chat bots>

    Every chatbot figures out on its own that HHH
    correctly rejects DDD as non-terminating because
    the input to HHH(DDD) specifies recursive simulation.


    BECAUSE YOU LIE TO THEM, and a prime training parameter is to give
    an answer the user is apt to like, and thus will tend to just accept
    lies and errors provided.


    I only defined the hypothetical possibility of a simulating
    termination analyzer. This cannot possibly be a lie. They
    figured out all the rest on their own.

    No you told it that a correct simulating termination analyser could be
    presumed. Which is an invalid presumption, because it has been proven
    that it cannot.


    Unlike a halt decider that must be correct
    on every input a simulating termination analyzer
    only needs be correct on at least one input.

    As usual only an invalid claim without evidence.


    void Infinite_Recursion()
    {
    -a Infinite_Recursion();
    }

    void Infinite_Loop()
    {
    -a HERE: goto HERE;
    -a return;
    }

    void Infinite_Loop2()
    {
    L1: goto L3;
    L2: goto L1;
    L3: goto L2;
    }

    HHH correctly determines the halt status of
    the above three functions.

    Irrelevant, because the case we are talking about has neither an
    infinite loop, nor an infinite recursion.
    HHH must simulate DDD that calls HHH. If HHH halts, then there is only a finite recursion:

    void Finite_Recursion (int N) {
    if (N > 0) Finite_Recursion (N - 1);
    printf ("Olcott thinks this is never printed.\n");
    }

    HHH decides after N recursions that there is an infinite recursion,
    which is incorrect.




    All you are doing is showing you don't understand how Artificiial
    Intelegence actualy works, showing your Natural Stupidity.

    That they provided all of the reasoning why DDD correctly
    simulated by HHH does not halt proves that they do have
    the functional equivalent of human understanding.

    The other error is the presumption that a simulation that does not
    reach the end of the simulation is evidence for non-termination.

    *Incorrect paraphrase*
    Halting is defined as reaching a final halt state.

    Yes and non-haltig is defined as never reaching the haltstate when
    running undisturbed. When a computer is switched off, or a simulation
    aborted, before a final halt state is reached, there is no evidence for non-halting behaviour of the program.


    if the state is final, the machine just stops and continues no more. https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/38228/what-is-halting

    When it is correctly predicted that
    an infinite simulation of the input
    cannot possibly reach its own "return"
    statement final halt state then the
    input is non-halting.

    But when it is incorrectly predicted, the program fails. This is the
    case when HHH aborts the program that is specified in the input, which
    has the same abort code as HHH itself. The input specifies a halting
    program, as proven by other simulations, but HHH fails to reach this
    final halt state. This is evidence that HHH is not the right tool for
    this input.


    It is not. An incomplete simulation is at best an indication that
    other tools are needed to determine non-halting behaviour.


    You cannot possibly coherently explain the details of this
    because what you just said in incorrect. Exactly what are
    the "other tools" that you are referring to a magic wand?

    In this case it is the reasoning that the input specifies a final halt
    state, proven by other tools, like world-class simulators and direct execution. For other inputs we may need to use other tools, but it is
    very well possible that for some inputs no such tool exists.
    It is a sign of bad reading capability that I have to repeat that so
    many times and you still do not understand it.




    That everyone here denies what every first year CS student
    would understand seems to prove that they know that they
    are liars.



    Even first year CS students understand that false presumptions lead to
    false conclusions. That is the only thing the chat box shows.Yet they
    recognize that recursive simulation is a

    non-halting behavior pattern similar to infinite
    recursion. Termination analyzers correctly predict
    what the behavior of infinite simulation would be.

    Sorry, the non-halting behaviour and the infinite recursion exists only
    in your dream. The HHH that aborts only sees a finite recursion, because
    the simulated HHH has the same code to (incorrectly) abort and halt.
    Dreams are no substitute for facts, nor a mathematical proof.

    Unlike a halt decider that must be correct

    only needs be correct on at least one input.

    Nope, got a source for that definition.

    Per you favorite sourse:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termination_analysis

    The difference between a Halt Decider and a Terminatation Analyzer >>>>>> is:


    In computer science, termination analysis is program analysis
    which attempts to determine whether the evaluation of a given
    program halts for each input.
    void Infinite_Loop()
    {
    -a-a HERE: goto HERE;
    -a-a return;
    }

    Thus HHH(Infinite_Loop) is correct for every
    input that Infinite_Loop has.



    But the Termination Analyzer is HHH, not HHH(Infinite_Loop).


    HHH correctly reports on the halt status
    for every input that Infinite_Loop takes,

    So?

    all zero of them. This proves that HHH is
    a termination analyzer for Infinite_Loop
    even if HHH is wrong on everything else.


    Nope, because a Termination Analyzer needs to answer about *ANY*
    Program reperesented with an input.

    *No that is merely your ADD*
    determine whether the evaluation of a given program
    halts for each input.



    No, it is YOU who is altering it. I gave a reference, that points out
    that it is the same as the halting problem, only about all possible
    inputs, not just one given one.

    WHere is the source of your fantasy?

    It seems it is just your own ignorance, unless you can give a source for it.

    Note, the term "given" means it is supplied one input per invocation,
    not just needs to solve that one possible input.

    You are just showing how poorly you think, and that you don't care about
    being right, and that is how people will remember you, as you waste away
    into oblivion.

    Unlike a halt decider that must be correct
    on every input a simulating termination analyzer
    only needs be correct on at least one input.

    Nope, got a source for that definition.

    Per you favorite sourse:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termination_analysis

    The difference between a Halt Decider and a Terminatation
    Analyzer is:


    In computer science, termination analysis is program analysis
    which attempts to determine whether the evaluation of a given
    program halts for each input.
    void Infinite_Loop()
    {
    -a-a HERE: goto HERE;
    -a-a return;
    }

    Thus HHH(Infinite_Loop) is correct for every
    input that Infinite_Loop has.



    But the Termination Analyzer is HHH, not HHH(Infinite_Loop).


    HHH correctly reports on the halt status
    for every input that Infinite_Loop takes,

    So?

    all zero of them. This proves that HHH is
    a termination analyzer for Infinite_Loop
    even if HHH is wrong on everything else.


    Nope, because a Termination Analyzer needs to answer about *ANY*
    Program reperesented with an input.

    *No that is merely your ADD*
    determine whether the evaluation of a given program
    halts for each input.



    No, it is YOU who is altering it. I gave a reference, that points out
    that it is the same as the halting problem, only about all possible
    inputs, not just one given one.


    *I quoted that from your above reference so it must be ADD*

    None of the people that are creating termination analyzers
    have ever made one that works on all programs. They still
    call their work termination analyzers.

    WHere is the source of your fantasy?

    It seems it is just your own ignorance, unless you can give a source for
    it.

    Note, the term "given" means it is supplied one input per invocation,
    not just needs to solve that one possible input.

    You are just showing how poorly you think, and that you don't care about being right, and that is how people will remember you, as you waste away into oblivion.

    Now that chat bots have proven that they understand
    what I am saying I can rephrase my words to be more
    clear.

    Chat-boxes prove that reasoning with invalid presumptions lead to
    invalid conclusions.


    I have been rude because I cannot interpret the
    rebuttal to this statement as anything besides
    a despicable lie for the sole purpose of sadistic
    pleasure of gaslighting:

    <input to chat bots>
    typedef void (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

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

    int main()
    {
    -a-a HHH(DDD);
    -a-a DDD();
    }

    Termination Analyzer HHH simulates its input until
    it detects a non-terminating behavior pattern. When
    HHH detects such a pattern it aborts its simulation
    and returns 0.
    </input to chat bots>

    We see the invalid presumption in the input. There is no non-
    termination behaviour in the input.
    You can see that I did not even hint at non
    termination of the input
    ??? We read that '... until it detects non-termination pattern' and
    'When HHH detects such a pattern ...' before the '</input'
    Since these presumptions are never happen, all conclusions based on it
    are invalid as well.

    I did not tell any bot that the input to HHH(DDD)
    does not terminate and they all figured out on their
    own that the input to HHH(DDD) does not terminate
    because it specifies recursive emulation.


    You gave it contradictory information. You told it that it simulates
    until it detects non-halting behaviour. You also told it that it aborts
    and returns 0. HHH cannot at the same time return 0 and show
    non-termination behaviour when simulated.

    With invalid and contradictory starting points, any conclusion becomes useless.

    You told it that HHH detected a non-halting pattern in the input, by
    using the word "when" which implies existance.

    Sorry, you are just lying.
