    Yes and Turing machines do not have psychic

    Turns out that the best they can do is enouth to construct
    a universal Turing machine but not enough to construct a

    If you want to find out how much Bill weighs
    you will not get this by weigh his little sister.
    You will only get this by weighing Bill.

    Or something that is known to weight the same as Bill,
    or something whose weight has a known ratio to Bill's
    weight.

    If you want to find out if an input finite string
    specifies the semantic property of halting you must

    Or something that is known to have some determinable feature if

    DD correctly simulated by HHH
    Doesn't exist because the fixed immutable code known as HHH aborts and therefore doesn't correctly simulate the fixed immutable code known as DD.

    The non-halting behavior of DD() is based on

    There is no non-halting behavour of DD(). DD() halts.

    DD correctly simulated by HHH
    Doesn't exist because the fixed immutable code known as HHH aborts
    and therefore doesn't correctly simulate the fixed immutable code
    known as DD.

    You will only get this by weighing Bill.

    Or something that is known to have some determinable feature if

    The above is the Linz proof construed with my

    If the simulation is never stops then HHH is not a decider.

    Yes, but until you understood this part we could
    not move on to the next part.

    But in reality the simulation is halted and HHH incorrectly
    returns false and DD halts.


    There is no DD() that halts here.

    HHH(DD) does correctly determine the halt status

    The non-halting behavior of DD() is based on

    Since DD consists of the code of the function DD, the code of the
    function HHH, and the code of everything that HHH calls down the OS
    level, it halts by itself.

    In other words you dodged my questions about your
    programming credentials because you have none.

    Quite so. Something Olcott has never truly understood is that the
    behaviour of HHH is part and parcel of the behaviour of DD. For
    example, HHH's call on line 1124 --- __asm__("mov Aborted, eax")
    --- is part of DD's behaviour.

    If DD is actually running (not simulating, obviously), when HHH
    has control and aborts one of its specious simulations, it is at
    DD's behest --- DD, by calling HHH, "owns" that behaviour.


    HHH is as much a part of DD as the staircase is part of a house.

    That would not be the behavior that HHH(DD) sees.
    HHH(DD) sees that unless is aborts its simulation
    that itself will never stop running.

    We must see what would happen if it did not abort
    as our basis to see if this criteria is met:

    <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

    That would not be the behavior that HHH(DD) sees.

    Thus demonstrating how HHH gets the wrong answer other that the one a
    halt decider is required to give:


    Given any algorithm (i.e. a fixed immutable sequence of instructions) X described as <X> with input Y:

    A solution to the halting problem is an algorithm H that computes the following mapping:

    (<X>,Y) maps to 1 if and only if X(Y) halts when executed directly
    (<X>,Y) maps to 0 if and only if X(Y) does not halt when executed directly

    ChatGPT wrote this rubric for me that allows zero wiggle
    room of interpretation.

    All the LLM systems agree on this even after a very
    long conversation of disagreement.

    <Benchmark Task>

    You are given:
    1. A simulation rubric.
    2. A C function (test program).

    Your job:
    - Apply the rubric exactly.
    - Produce the required output in the given format.
    - Do not skip steps or jump to conclusions.

    ---

    <Rubric>
    Rules of Simulation:
    - (a) If a non-terminating behavior pattern is detected during
    simulation, abort immediately and return 0.
    - (b) If the simulated program reaches a return statement without
    earlier detection, return 1.
    - Priority: (a) always takes precedence over (b).

    Procedure:
    1. Restate rules before simulation.
    2. Simulate step by step using a trace table with columns:
    | Step | Code Location | State (variables, call stack) | Event /
    Action | Rule Applied |
    3. Stop immediately if recursion, infinite loop, or repeating state
    occurs raA apply (a).
    4. If a return is reached first raA apply (b).
    5. Conclude with:
    - Which rule fired first
    - The correct return value
    6. Optionally, provide:
    - (i) Simulation result under rules
    - (ii) Actual runtime behavior in C

    </Rubric>

    <Test Program>
    typedef int (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    int DD()
    {
    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
    if (Halt_Status)
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
    }
    </Test Program>

    <Required Output Format>
    1. Restatement of rules
    2. Step-by-step execution trace in a table
    3. Identification of first rule triggered
    4. Final result: return value of HHH(program)
    5. Optional: actual C runtime behavior if relevant
    </Required Output Format>

    I mean. ThatrCOs why HHH is wrong. It does not look at the behaviour of
    UTM(DD), where DD calls HHH; it looks at UTM(DDu), where DDu calls
    UTM(DDu). But as per your own statements, it absolutely should! HHH
    overeagerly closes its eyes to the abort contained within DD.
    I am estimating that you have very little actual programming experience
    or you would know that a function cannot possibly know anything about
    its caller.
    I didnrCOt write anything about callers.

    No DD ever halts unless HHH(DD) aborts its simulation.
    Which it does, therefore DD halts.
    We must see what would happen if it did not abort as our basis to see
    if this criteria is met:
    We must not see what would happen if the input were different.
    Yes we must. It is required.

    A solution to the halting problem is an algorithm H that computes the
    following mapping:

    (<X>,Y) maps to 0 if and only if X(Y) does not halt when executed
    directly

    In other words, it decides on a non-input.

    It decides two hypothetical scenarios on the same
    input.

    Category error. The input is a fixed immutable set of instructions. So
    if you hypothesize *any* change to that, you're hypothesizing a
    non-input and deciding on it.

    It is always the case that if D simulated
    by H would never stop running if not aborted

    Then you're talking about Dn and Hn, not D and H

    then
    it must be aborted because all halt deciders must
    always halt.

    all halt deciders

    i.e Turning machines that satisfy these requirements:


    Given any algorithm (i.e. a fixed immutable sequence of instructions) X described as <X> with input Y:

    A solution to the halting problem is an algorithm H that computes the following mapping:

    (<X>,Y) maps to 1 if and only if X(Y) halts when executed directly
    (<X>,Y) maps to 0 if and only if X(Y) does not halt when executed directly


    must always halt.

    And Turing and Linz proved that no Turing machine can do both and
    therefore halt deciders exists.

    Until two weeks ago I would say no.
    I have been a Christian Buddhist for 35 years.

    I never thought that it made sense that Christ
    died on the cross for my sins. I still don't
    think it makes any sense yet I will take his
    word on it.

    Semantic tautology. I always prove my point on
    the basis of the meaning of my words. No one
    besides LLM systems wants to be bothered to pay
    enough attention to understand the meaning of
    my words.

    They are at least 99% focused on rebuttal. Not
    so with LLM systems. ChatGPT 5.0 translated
    my key meanings into what it calls a rubric.

    From this rubric every LLM system immediately
    understands exactly and precisely what I am saying
    and figures out on its own that I am correct when
    I never even told it my position.

    The same thing never occurs here because the
    primary focus is on being disagreeable.

    The fact that the main-->DD() caller of HHH(DD)
    halts is none of the damn business of HHH.

    It is if it wants to meet its requirements:


    It is these requirements that are incorrect.

    Which is exactly what Turing and Linz proved.


    Having a Turing machine report on something that it
    cannot see is as logically impossible as a Turing
    machine that computes the square root of a dead chicken.

    All logical imposibilities are equally logically impossible


    Given any algorithm (i.e. a fixed immutable sequence of instructions)
    X described as <X> with input Y:

    A solution to the halting problem is an algorithm H that computes the
    following mapping:

    (<X>,Y) maps to 1 if and only if X(Y) halts when executed directly
    (<X>,Y) maps to 0 if and only if X(Y) does not halt when executed
    directly



    HHH is only concerned with whether it must
    abort the simulation of its input to prevent
    its own non-termination AND YES IT MUST !!!

    The way that it does this is it determines
    what the behavior would be if itself was a UTM.


    In other words, it decides on a non-input.

    It decides two hypothetical scenarios on the same
    input.

    Category error.
    If it was then both professor Sipser and Ben
    would have not agreed.

    Do I have to repeat that 10,000 times?
    I proved that you are wrong and you simply ignored
    the proof. That is cheating.

    You never proved anything you simply quote dogma.

    (Sipser) read it as a general remark about how to determine some cases,
    i.e. that D names an input that H can partially simulate to determine
    it's halting or otherwise. We all know or could construct some such
    cases.

    I suspect he was tricked because PO used H and D as the names without
    making it clear that D was constructed from H in the usual way (Sipser
    uses H and D in at least one of his proofs). Of course, he is clued in enough know that, if D is indeed constructed from H like that, the
    "minor remark" becomes true by being a hypothetical: if the moon is made
    of cheese, the Martians can look forward to a fine fondue. But,
    personally, I think the professor is more straight talking than that,
    and he simply took as a method that can work for some inputs. That's
    the only way is could be seen as a "minor remark" with being accused of being disingenuous.

    The fact that the main-->DD() caller of HHH(DD)
    halts is none of the damn business of HHH.

    It is if it wants to meet its requirements:


    It is these requirements that are incorrect.

    Which is exactly what Turing and Linz proved.


    Having a Turing machine report on something that it
    cannot see is as logically impossible as a Turing
    machine that computes the square root of a dead chicken.

    All logical imposibilities are equally logically impossible


    Then you agree that Turing and Linz are correct.


    Linz was brilliant he was not trying to establish
    new ground. He only sought to present the conventional
    position succinctly. It seems to me that he did far
    better than anyone else on this.

    You can't make a halt decider

    Which is exactly what Turing and Linz proved.



    My most convincing argument is that halt deciders
    cannot be correctly required to do things the deciders
    cannot do. The can only compute the mapping from the
    input machine description on the basis of the behavior
    that this machine description actually specifies.

    DD does call HHH(DD) in recursive simulation this
    behavior must be modeled and cannot be ignored.

    Yes and Turing machines do not have psychic

    You will only get this by weighing Bill.

    Or something that is known to weight the same as Bill,

    If you want to find out if an input finite string
    specifies the semantic property of halting you must

    Or something that is known to have some determinable feature if

    It can, if the simulator can detect what part of the

    HHH(DD) needs to see all of the behavior of DD until

    HHH correctly determines that its simulated DD
    would never stop running unless aborted

    That hever happens if DD halts or never exhibits a behaviour pattern
    that HHH recognizes as non-halting.

    DD correctly simulated by HHH never stops running
    unless aborted.

    If the simulation is never stops then HHH is not a decider.

    Yes, but until you understood this part we could
    not move on to the next part.

    FOrtunately it is not necessary or even useful to move to the next part.

    But in reality the simulation is halted and HHH incorrectly
    returns false and DD halts.

    There is no DD() that halts here.

    I didn't say "here", I said "in reality". More specifically, in messages
    you have posted to Usenet, except the HHH part which can be found in
    GitHub but is sufficiently described in your Usenet postings.

    But you did introduce "DD" to this discussion.

    HHH(DD) does correctly determine the halt status
    of the behavior that its actual input actually
    specifies.

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

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

    int main()
    {

    The non-halting behavior of DD() is based on

    There is no non-halting behavour of DD(). DD() halts.

    he looks just like Bob.

    Yes, that is analogous how your HHH concludes that DD halts.
    It analyses a bother of DD that does not look just like DD
    but close enough that HHH does not see the difference.

    *I have to read and reread to get the words right*
    I read that backwards the first time.

    Deciders must only report on their inputs

    i.e. the Turing machine that the input finite string is a
    representation


    Yes you are good as spouting off conventional wisdom
    as if this conventional wisdom were coming directly
    from the mind of God.

    Not conventional wisdom, just definitions.


    Not at all. I have told you my definitions
    hundreds of times and you never understood
    a word of it.

    And since your definition is not the definition of a halt decider,
    it is irrelevant.


    Sure just like on stack exchange all new ideas
    are bad ideas.


    Your irrelevant analogy construes your admission that the above is
    correct.



    thus
    must not ever report on the behavior of their caller.

    False, it must report on *all* machines.


    How about the machine that I don't even know
    how I will encode ten years from now?

    YES!-a *All* possible machines!


    So then tell me does this machine that
    does not exist halt or fail to halt?


    Once it is defined,

    No that is the point. You said ALL machines and
    this includes ones that do not currently exist.

    But it can exist and at some point will exist, at which point it can
    be decided on.


    it can be decided on, and a total halt decider is required to decide
    it.



    The fact that the main-->DD() caller of HHH(DD)

    You can't make a halt decider

    Which is exactly what Turing and Linz proved.



    My most convincing argument is that halt deciders

    i.e. machines that satisfies the following requirements:

    Given any algorithm (i.e. a fixed immutable sequence of instructions) X described as <X> with input Y:

    A solution to the halting problem is an algorithm H that computes the following mapping:

    (<X>,Y) maps to 1 if and only if X(Y) halts when executed directly
    (<X>,Y) maps to 0 if and only if X(Y) does not halt when executed directly


    cannot be correctly required to do things the deciders
    cannot do.

    i.e. you agree with Turing and Linz that the above requirements cannot
    be satisfied.

    The can only compute the mapping from the
    input machine description on the basis of the behavior
    that this machine description actually specifies.

    And it is true by the meaning of the words that a machine description specifies all of the semantic properties of the machine it describes, including whether that machine halts when executed directly.


    DD does call HHH(DD) in recursive simulation this
    behavior must be modeled and cannot be ignored.


    And that behavior includes halting when being executed directly, which
    is what the above requirements state must be reported on.

    2. A C function (test program).

    Your job:
    - Apply the rubric exactly.
    - Produce the required output in the given format.
    - Do not skip steps or jump to conclusions.

    ---

    <Rubric>
    Rules of Simulation:
    - (a) If a non-terminating behavior pattern is detected during
    simulation, abort immediately and return 0.
    - (b) If the simulated program reaches a return statement without
    earlier detection, return 1.
    - Priority: (a) always takes precedence over (b).

    Procedure:
    1. Restate rules before simulation.
    2. Simulate step by step using a trace table with columns:
    | Step | Code Location | State (variables, call stack) | Event /
    Action | Rule Applied |
    3. Stop immediately if recursion, infinite loop, or repeating state
    occurs raA apply (a).
    4. If a return is reached first raA apply (b).
    5. Conclude with:
    - Which rule fired first
    - The correct return value
    6. Optionally, provide:
    - (i) Simulation result under rules
    - (ii) Actual runtime behavior in C

    </Rubric>

    <Test Program>
    typedef int (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    int DD()
    {
    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
    if (Halt_Status)
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
    }
    </Test Program>

    <Required Output Format>
    1. Restatement of rules
    2. Step-by-step execution trace in a table
    3. Identification of first rule triggered
    4. Final result: return value of HHH(program)
    5. Optional: actual C runtime behavior if relevant
    </Required Output Format>

    </Benchmark Task>

    The non-halting behavior of DD() is based on

    There is no non-halting behavour of DD(). DD() halts.

    And someone saw that Bill's identical twin brother

    Yes, that is analogous how your HHH concludes that DD halts.

    No it is the analysis of how people continue to
    mistakenly believe that HHH must not report on
    the actual behavior that its actual input actually specifies.

    It analyses a bother of DD that does not look just like DD
    but close enough that HHH does not see the difference.

    Yes and Turing machines do not have psychic

    that sometimes includes the input calling its

    Turns out that the best they can do is enouth to construct
    a universal Turing machine but not enough to construct a
    halt decider.

    If you want to find out how much Bill weighs
    you will not get this by weigh his little sister.
    You will only get this by weighing Bill.

    Or something that is known to weight the same as Bill,
    or something whose weight has a known ratio to Bill's
    weight.

    If you want to find out if an input finite string
    specifies the semantic property of halting you must
    test this actual input finite string.

    Or something that is known to have some determinable feature if
    and only if the string asked about has the semantic property of
    halting.

    *From the bottom of page 319 has been adapted to this*
    https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    -n.q0 rf?-nrf- reo* -n.embedded_H rf?-nrf- rf?-nrf- reo* -n.reR, // accept state
    -n.q0 rf?-nrf- reo* -n.embedded_H rf?-nrf- rf?-nrf- reo* -n.qn // reject state

    *Keep repeating unless aborted*
    (a) -n copies its input rf?-nrf-
    (b) -n invokes embedded_H rf?-nrf- rf?-nrf-
    (c) embedded_H simulates rf?-nrf- rf?-nrf-

    Above, unlike the original, does not define or require or claim
    anuthing. Besides, the original does not say "unless aborted".

    The above is the Linz proof construed with my
    unique idea of a simulating halt decider. I assume
    that you know what a simulating halt decider is by now.

    The above is not a proof. A proof is a sequence of claims. The
    above is not.

    The first step of my proof is getting you
    to totally understand the above.

    What has that as the first step is not a proof.

    The first step of any proof is the definition of the terms
    The term [semantic property of finite string input]

    We don't need the general definition of "semantic property of finite
    string input" when the discussion is restricted to halting, which is
    just one property.

    Yes, but until you understood this part we could

    FOrtunately it is not necessary or even useful to move to the next part.

    This rubric provides complete understanding of the

    The meaning of "semantic halting property of finite string input" is
    not needed. The phrase is not used in a typical halting problem

    It is sufficient to define what it means that a Turing machine halts.

    on its own an intervention must be made. HHH does this on
    the basis that its simulated D matches the non-halting behavior
    pattern of recursive simulation.

    I just told the LLM systems that there is such a thing as
    "a non-terminating behavior pattern" they figured out on
    their on that it is recursive simulation.

    Yes and Turing machines do not have psychic

    that sometimes includes the input calling its

    Turns out that the best they can do is enouth to construct
    a universal Turing machine but not enough to construct a
    halt decider.

    If you want to find out how much Bill weighs
    you will not get this by weigh his little sister.
    You will only get this by weighing Bill.

    Or something that is known to weight the same as Bill,
    or something whose weight has a known ratio to Bill's
    weight.

    If you want to find out if an input finite string
    specifies the semantic property of halting you must
    test this actual input finite string.

    Or something that is known to have some determinable feature if
    and only if the string asked about has the semantic property of

    The above is the Linz proof construed with my

    that you know what a simulating halt decider is by now.

    The above is not a proof. A proof is a sequence of claims. The
    above is not.

    The first step of my proof is getting you
    to totally understand the above.

    What has that as the first step is not a proof.

    The first step of any proof is the definition of the terms
    The term [semantic property of finite string input]

    We don't need the general definition of "semantic property of finite
    string input" when the discussion is restricted to halting, which is
    just one property.


    Yes we do. In is incorrect to require halt deciders
    to do things that no decider can ever do.

    HHH(DD) needs to see all of the behavior of DD until

    HHH correctly determines that its simulated DD
    would never stop running unless aborted

    That hever happens if DD halts or never exhibits a behaviour pattern >>>>>>> that HHH recognizes as non-halting.

    DD correctly simulated by HHH never stops running
    unless aborted.

    If the simulation is never stops then HHH is not a decider.

    Yes, but until you understood this part we could
    not move on to the next part.

    FOrtunately it is not necessary or even useful to move to the next part.

    This rubric provides complete understanding of the
    term [semantic halting property of finite string input]
    to every LLM, even the otherwise stupid ones.

    The meaning of "semantic halting property of finite string input" is
    not needed. The phrase is not used in a typical halting problem
    statement and not needed in the proof of uncomputability of halting.
    It is sufficient to define what it means that a Turing machine halts.


    It is a brand new idea that I derived though semantic
    logical entailment of other ideas. Are you saying that
    all new ideas are always wrong?

    That depends on the decider candidate.

    When the decider candidate is a simulating halt decider

    It can, if the simulator can detect what part of the simulated

    It seems to be the case that a function

    You have the analogy exactly backwards.
    HHH does report on the semantic halting property
    that its input actually specifies.

    The input to HHH(DD) specifies that DD calls HHH(DD)

    Please use quotation marks for clarity.


    I am not quoting I am paraphrasing.
    The actual quote was several pages because
    I did not initially get straight to this point.

    I said that it is unreasonable to construe that D
    does not mean simulated D because that would make
    Professor Sipser incorrect and the whole context
    and three other references only referred to the
    simulated D.

    Yes, it is your lack of understanding that along the same lines
    unless HHH lets its input halt on its own, DD will always be halting.

    How is this DD going to halt on its own?
    It would halt without being (passive) aborted. It doesnrCOt run forever.
    The clear correct and direct answer is that DD cannot halt on its own an
    intervention must be made. HHH does this on the basis that its simulated
    D matches the non-halting behavior pattern of recursive simulation.

    The pattern is wrong. A UTM and HHH1 simulate DD as halting just fine.


    The pattern is proven to be correct on the basis of
    the meaning of its words.

    <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

    The last sentence cannot possibly correctly refer to anything
    besides a hypothetical case.

    I just told the LLM systems that there is such a thing as "a
    non-terminating behavior pattern" they figured out on their on that it
    is recursive simulation.

    There is no such pattern in DD. It calls HHH which does only two levels
    of simulation. DD_UTM has that pattern, but it is not the input.


    The rubric conclusively proves that I am correct
    and allows no wiggle room of misinterpretation.


    <Benchmark Task>

    You are given:
    1. A simulation rubric.
    2. A C function (test program).

    Your job:
    - Apply the rubric exactly.
    - Produce the required output in the given format.
    - Do not skip steps or jump to conclusions.

    ---

    <Rubric>
    Rules of Simulation:
    - (a) If a non-terminating behavior pattern is detected during
    simulation, abort immediately and return 0.
    - (b) If the simulated program reaches a return statement without
    earlier detection, return 1.
    - Priority: (a) always takes precedence over (b).

    Procedure:
    1. Restate rules before simulation.
    2. Simulate step by step using a trace table with columns:
    | Step | Code Location | State (variables, call stack) | Event /
    Action | Rule Applied |
    3. Stop immediately if recursion, infinite loop, or repeating state
    occurs raA apply (a).
    4. If a return is reached first raA apply (b).
    5. Conclude with:
    - Which rule fired first
    - The correct return value
    6. Optionally, provide:
    - (i) Simulation result under rules
    - (ii) Actual runtime behavior in C

    </Rubric>

    <Test Program>
    typedef int (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    int DD()
    {
    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
    if (Halt_Status)
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
    }
    </Test Program>

    <Required Output Format>
    1. Restatement of rules
    2. Step-by-step execution trace in a table
    3. Identification of first rule triggered
    4. Final result: return value of HHH(program)
    5. Optional: actual C runtime behavior if relevant
    </Required Output Format>

    </Benchmark Task>

    Yes, that is analogous how your HHH concludes that DD halts.
    No it is the analysis of how people continue to mistakenly believe
    that HHH must not report on the actual behavior that its actual input
    actually specifies.
    Your "analysis" is analogous to the behaviour of your HHH:

    You did not find any error in my analogy.

    The input to HHH(DD) specifies that DD calls HHH(DD) in recursive
    simulation, such that the call from the simulated DD to the simulated
    HHH(DD) cannot possibly return. *This cannot be correctly ignored*

    No, DD does not specify that. It calls HHH which aborts.


    You keep confusing the directly executed DD with
    the correctly simulated input DD are you making
    this mistake on purpose?

    The input to HHH1(DD) specifies that the call from the simulated DD to

    No, this is the same input.

    (<X>,Y) maps to 0 if and only if X(Y) does not halt when executed directly

    "when executed directly" may be substituted for "when simulated by UTM"
    under the condition that UTM(<X>,Y) has the same behavior as X(Y) in all
    cases

    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input
    until:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern:
    -a-a-a-a abort simulation and return 0.
    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement:
    -a-a-a-a return 1.

    This is *not* met because the pattern that HHH detects exists in the
    halting computation DD and therefore is *not* a non-terminating
    behavior pattern.

    The pattern does exist in the input.

    Proven false by the fact that DD halts.


    The DD directly executed process called from
    main that calls HHH cannot possibly be an
    argument to the function HHH.

    But since directly executing DD will always do the same thing, HHH must predict what *would* happen if DD was executed directly, not necessarily
    "this time".

    That is stupidly saying the same thing as

    DD only halts AFTER HHH correctly determines

    I think that you might just be a liar.

    DD only halts
    Because it executes a sequence of steps that result in it reaching a
    final halting state. How it gets there is irrelevant as far as the
    halting problem is concerned.

    HHH(DD) must abort its simulation to prevent
    its own non-termination.
    But it must also compute the required mapping (see below). And Turing
    and Linz proved that both cannot be done. Therefore HHH is not a halt decider.


    Given any algorithm (i.e. a fixed immutable sequence of instructions) X described as <X> with input Y:

    A solution to the halting problem is an algorithm H that computes the following mapping:

    (<X>,Y) maps to 1 if and only if X(Y) halts when executed directly
    (<X>,Y) maps to 0 if and only if X(Y) does not halt when executed directly

    It never has been about the recursion being

    Apparently LLM systems are very excellent at
    correct reasoning and cannot possibly hallucinate
    when you provide them with all of the premises.
    What they conclude is only within the exact context
    of these premises.

    Three LLM systems got this immediately the
    first time that I told them the succinct
    spec. It took about a dozen iterations with
    ChatGPT 4.0 to get the succinct spec.

    I also had to wait at least a year for them to
    upgrade ChatGPT to a much larger context window
    Prior to a year ago its was 3000 words then 32K
    it is 200,000 words now.

    Two other systems got this immediately as
    soon as I forced them out of make-a-guess
    mode into think-it-all-the-way-through mode.

    That it has taken three years and only Ben
    acknowledged that the criteria of my spec has
    been met really seems to indicate dishonesty
    of most of my reviewers.

    In the diagonal cases it does not work that way because changing

    This means your criteria is not equivalent to the defined criteria for a solution to the halting problem (see below) and is therefore irrelevant.


    Given any algorithm (i.e. a fixed immutable sequence of instructions) X described as <X> with input Y:

    A solution to the halting problem is an algorithm H that computes the following mapping:

    (<X>,Y) maps to 1 if and only if X(Y) halts when executed directly
    (<X>,Y) maps to 0 if and only if X(Y) does not halt when executed directly

    Is 5 an integer?
    No 5 is not an integer and a box of chocolates.


    A bad analogy is less than no rebuttal.

    You are a jackass.


    I'll let you respond to yourself:

    You strive to be disagreeable and this makes
    you dishonest.
    That you aren't able to understand my explanations why your >>>>>>>>>> are wrong does not make me dishonest.

    That you refuse to even consider those
    aspects that I have correctly proven makes
    you dishonest.

    That DD halts when executed directly proves that any pattern
    contained in DD is *not* a non-halting behavior pattern.

    That you fail to understand that is not my mistake.

    DD does specify that it does call HHH(DD)
    in recursive simulation.
    And that recursive simulation is finite, as proven by the fact
    that DD halts when executed directly.

    OK you are doing better now.
    It never has been about the recursion being
    finite or being infinite. It has always been
    about whether or not HHH(DD) must abort its
    simulation to prevent its own non-termination.


    That works in the non-diagonal cases since changing the code of
    function HHH is equivalent to passing the same machine description
    to algorithm UTM.

    In the diagonal cases it does not work that way because changing
    function HHH means you change algorithm DD to algorithm DDn and
    instead report on the non-input DDn.


    That only means that you are pretending to be
    too dumb to understand this simple notion:
    (Which is dishonest unless you actually are too dumb)

    <Input to LLM systems>
    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until: >>> (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern:
    -a-a-a-a abort simulation and return 0.
    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement:
    -a-a-a-a return 1.


    And your HHH doesn't meet the above spec because the pattern it
    detects exists in the halting computation DD and is therefore *not* a
    non- halting behavior pattern.


    I get it you are an actual Chatbot that has
    a very small token limit so you can't even
    remember what I said three posts ago.


    You're the one repeating previously refuted claims.

    If you claim "X", and say "X is wrong because Y", and you later say "but
    X is right", I'll again respond with "X is wrong because Y".

    That you don't understand that non-halting behaviors patterns don't
    exist in halting programs is not my mistake.

    therefore DISQUALIFIED from being a halting decider.

    False. It is a semantic tautology that the ultimate measure of correct simulation is that it exactly matches the behavior of the machine it is simulating.

    And the input to algorithm DD is

    the empty string.

    an execution trace

    nope it is the empty string.

    which it also gives to HHH as an input, so HHH is
    therefore DISQUALIFIED from being a halting decider.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_function

    we can ask about the hypothetical case when machine DD is executed
    directly, not necessarily "now", by giving it the finite string
    description of machine DD which is specified to possess all semantic
    properties of machine DD including the fact that it halts when
    executed directly.


    That is not the actual behavior of the actual input

    i.e. finite string DD, which is a description of machine DD and is
    specified to possess all semantic properties of machine DD, including
    the fact that it halts when executed directly.


    It also specifies that it calls HHH(DD).

    as measured by the simulation of DD by HHH according
    to the semantics of its language,

    But HHH aborts in violation of the x86 language, therefore you have no measure.


    Nope knuckle head you are incorrect.

    <Input to LLM systems>
    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern:
    abort simulation and return 0.
    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement:
    return 1.

    the ultimate measure
    of correct simulation.


    False.-a It is a semantic tautology that the ultimate measure of correct simulation is that it exactly matches the behavior of the machine it is simulating.

    Not when the violates the semantics of its language.
    You just might actually be too dumb about these things.
    I always thought you were faking.

    We can say pretty can close to equal... 5 on the left, five on the

    Think if each rock had an equal weight. Then five = 5, the balance is perfect...?

    The first step of my proof is getting you

    What has that as the first step is not a proof.

    The first step of any proof is the definition of the terms
    The term [semantic property of finite string input]

    We don't need the general definition of "semantic property of finite

    just one property.

    Yes we do. In is incorrect to require halt deciders
    to do things that no decider can ever do.

    No, it is not incorrect. The purpose of the definition is to specify
    what the term "halt decider" means so that it is possible to deremine
    of any Turing machine whether it is a halt decider, and the definition satisfies that purpose.

    post on this newsgroup, will be taken as you official on-the-record
    admission that there is no such allowance and that HHH does NOT
    correctly simulate DD and in fact violates the x86 language.



    Let the record show that Peter Olcott made no attempt to show where in
    the Intel instruction manual any instruction other than a HLT is allowed
    to stop instead of executing the next instruction. Therefore:

    Let The Record Show

    That Peter Olcott

    Has *offically* admitted:

    That DD is *NOT* correctly simulated by HHH


    <Input to LLM systems>
    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until: >>> (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern:
    -a-a-a-a abort simulation and return 0.
    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement:
    -a-a-a-a return 1.


    And your HHH doesn't meet the above spec because the pattern it
    detects exists in the computation DD which halts when executed
    directly and is therefore *not* a non- halting behavior pattern.

    I updated this.

    HHH(DD) is reporting on the otherwise unlimited recursive simulation
    that its actual finite string of x86 machine code specifies.
    The code of DD rCRspecifiesrCY finite recursion. What are you talking about.

    In other words, you imagine changing the code of function HHH to not
    abort, resulting in you now having algorithms HHHn and DDn and
    reporting on the behavior of the non-input algorithm DDn.
    Not at all, its a freaking "if" statement.
    Exactly, if the input DD were actually DDn.

    But since Turing machines always have exactly the same behavior for a
    given input,
    I don't think that is literally true.
    Yes.-a It is true by the meaning of the words.-a If not, you could
    provide a Turing machine X such that X(Y) behaves differently at
    different times.
    UTM1(D) specifies a different sequence of moves than UTM2(D) because D
    has UTM1 embedded within it and does not have UTM2 embedded within it.
    WDYM with a simulator specifies? All UTMs are equal. HHH is not a UTM.
    HHH certainly diverges from the trace produced by direct execution.

    Computable functions
    i.e. mathematical mappings for which an algorithm exists to compute
    them
    are required to have exactly the same behavior for the same input.
    Mathematical mappings don't have behavior.-a They simply associate
    inputs to outputs.
    Yes. The algorithm computes the mapping from its finite string input
    HHH does not compute the mapping from DD to its halt status.

    HHH does have exactly the same behavior for the same input. DD is not
    a computable function.
    Category error: C functions aren't mathematical mappings.
    C functions that are a pure function of their inputs do compute mappings
    from their inputs.
    HHH is not pure. DD is computable, as evidenced by running it.

    Algorithm DD *computes* some computable function.
    pretty good trick to make it a pure function of the empty string.
    And the input to algorithm DD is
    the empty string.
    an execution trace
    nope it is the empty string.

    DD relies on global data.

    which it also gives to HHH as an input, so HHH is therefore
    DISQUALIFIED from being a halting decider.

    we can ask about the hypothetical case when machine DD is executed
    directly, not necessarily "now", by giving it the finite string
    description of machine DD which is specified to possess all semantic
    properties of machine DD including the fact that it halts when
    executed directly.
    That is not the actual behavior of the actual input
    Is the rCRactual behaviourrCY whatever the simulator simulates?

    i.e. finite string DD, which is a description of machine DD and is
    specified to possess all semantic properties of machine DD, including
    the fact that it halts when executed directly.
    It also specifies that it calls HHH(DD).
    Which aborts after a finite number of recursive simulations, not
    running forever.

    as measured by the simulation of DD by HHH according to the semantics
    of its language,
    But HHH aborts in violation of the x86 language, therefore you have no
    measure.
    Nope knuckle head you are incorrect.
    x86 does not allow arbitrarily stopping execution.

    False.-a It is a semantic tautology that the ultimate measure of correct
    simulation is that it exactly matches the behavior of the machine it is
    simulating.
    Not when the violates the semantics of its language.
    Such as not continuing to simulate. Or what is the violation?

    Whether a program halts is very much about (in)finity.
    HHH would not need to abort DD, but it does. If it were HHHrCO that didnrCOt, DD wouldnrCOt be its diagonal program, and it would simulate it to its termination without aborting. Now HHHrCO *wouldnrCOt* terminate on input DDrCO, its diagonal program built on itself, but that is not DD. There is no

    Please think this all the way through without making any guesses.

    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern:
    abort simulation and return 0.
    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement:
    return 1.
    (c) If HHH must abort its simulation to prevent its own non-termination
    then HHH is correct to abort this simulation and return 0.

    typedef int (*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);
    }

    What value should HHH(DD) correctly return?
    </Input to LLM systems>

    LLM systems can be trusted to perform correct
    semantic logical entailment from a set premises
    without the possibility of AI hallucination.

    They are 67-fold better at this than they were one
    year ago because their context window increased from
    3000 words to 200,000 words in the last year. That
    means they can keep far more reasoning "in their head".

    ChatGPT 5.0 agrees with me on this now:
    The input to HHH(DD) specifies recursive simulation
    that must be aborted to prevent its own non-termination.

    The directly executed DD() is not a finite string
    thus is outside of the domain of HHH thus does not
    contradict that HHH(DD) rejects its input.

    When the halting problem asks the question does
    the machine specified by this machine description
    halt?

    within this concrete model it is asking a question
    that it outside of the domain of any decider.

    In other words, you imagine changing the code of function HHH to not
    abort, resulting in you now having algorithms HHHn and DDn and

    <Input to LLM systems>
    Please think this all the way through without making any guesses.

    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern:
    abort simulation and return 0.
    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement:
    return 1.
    (c) If HHH must abort its simulation to prevent its own non-termination
    then HHH is correct to abort this simulation and return 0.

    But since Turing machines always have exactly the same behavior for a
    given input,
    I don't think that is literally true.
    Computable functions are required to have exactly the same behavior for
    the same input.
    HHH does have exactly the same behavior for the same input. DD is not a
    computable function.

    It is literally true: a TMrCOs behaviour depends only on its programming (i.e. state table) and the initial tape contents (the input). DD is computable as valid C code.


    LLM systems have become 67-fold more powerful in
    the last one year and AI hallucination can be
    completely prevented when the LLM system is only
    reasoning from a set of provided premises.

    ChatGPT now agrees that within the concrete model
    of computation that I specified that the behavior
    of the direct execution of DD() is not in the
    domain of HHH and that HHH(DD) is correct to reject
    its input as non-halting and it provides all of the
    reasoning why both of these are correct.

    https://chatgpt.com/share/68ec6e96-7eb8-8011-90c7-86248034d475

    we can ask about the hypothetical case when machine DD is executed
    directly, not necessarily "now", by giving it the finite string
    description of machine DD which is specified to possess all semantic
    properties of machine DD including the fact that it halts when executed
    directly.
    That is not the actual behavior of the actual input as measured by the
    simulation of DD by HHH according to the semantics of its language, the
    ultimate measure of correct simulation.

    The measure of HHH being correct is that what it does? ThatrCOs circular.

    That depends on the decider candidate.

    It seems to be the case that a function
    cannot know its own machine address and
    still be Turing computable otherwise HHH
    would know that DD is specifying recursive
    emulation as soon as DD calls HHH(DD).

    The code
    of the simulator itself is already known so there is no need to simulate
    it.

    The non-halting behavior of DD() is based on
    recursive simulation this needs to be verified.

    There is no non-halting behavour of DD(). DD() halts.

    And someone saw that Bill's identical twin brother
    Bob robbed a liquor store making Bill guilty because
    he looks just like Bob.

    Yes, that is analogous how your HHH concludes that DD halts.

    No it is the analysis of how people continue to
    mistakenly believe that HHH must not report on
    the actual behavior that its actual input actually specifies.

    Your "analysis" is analogous to the behaviour of your HHH:

    It analyses a bother of DD that does not look just like DD
    but close enough that HHH does not see the difference.

    You did not find any error in my analogy.

    You have the analogy exactly backwards.
    HHH does report on the semantic halting property
    that its input actually specifies.

    The program DD specifies that DD halts. HHH(DD) says "does not halt".
    Therefore HHH(DD) does not correctly report on the semantic halting
    property of DD. Instead it report on a different behaviour that it
    hallucinates in DD but which actually isn't there. Just like in your
    analogy "someone" reports falsely on Bill after seeing Bob.

    I've told him that a dozen times at least. He's simply not interested.

    DD correctly simulated by HHH never stops running
    unless aborted.

    If the simulation is never stops then HHH is not a decider.

    Yes, but until you understood this part we could
    not move on to the next part.

    FOrtunately it is not necessary or even useful to move to the next part. >>>>>
    This rubric provides complete understanding of the

    to every LLM, even the otherwise stupid ones.

    The meaning of "semantic halting property of finite string input" is
    not needed. The phrase is not used in a typical halting problem
    statement and not needed in the proof of uncomputability of halting.
    It is sufficient to define what it means that a Turing machine halts.

    It is a brand new idea that I derived though semantic
    logical entailment of other ideas. Are you saying that
    all new ideas are always wrong?

    Nice to see that you don't disagree.

    I can't every tell what you mean what you say this.

    Yousually your replies to my messages express an obvious contradiction
    or disgreement with something I said in my message. When it doesn't
    I like it. That's what the words "nice to see" mean.

    You are never sufficiently specific on this.

    I specifically mean the message I replied to.
