• How is this answer not self-evident ?

    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.

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

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

    What value should HHH(DD) correctly return?

    I can directly see that that when HHH(DD) is executed
    that this begins simulating DD that calls HHH(DD) that
    begins simulating DD that calls HHH(DD) again.


    ...and when HHH eventually reports?

    But of course that's self-evident.


    The above execution trace seems self-evident to me.
    Do you see this now that it has been pointed out?

    Three different LLM systems did figure out that
    execution trace on their own.

    Line 996 matches the
    *recursive simulation non-halting behavior pattern* https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c

    Its not as self-evident, yet all three LLM systems
    recognized that this pattern has been matched and I
    did not even tell them that this pattern exists.

    The initial post in this thread was the entire basis
    that these three LLM systems had.

    Pete seems to often have this tendency to consider things self-evident. Usually, these are things that others don't think about because they're irrelevant.

    It means that the message providing the answer contains, in itself, all
    the evidence anyone needs to easily determine that the answer is true.
    In practice, it is often used when the answer is not actually true.
    Compare with a "no-brainer", where, in practice, the decision is almost
    always not the one that would be chosen if the brain were fully engaged.

    <Input to LLM systems>

    *The above was self-evident to three LLM systems*
    I still find that it is absurd that no one here can
    figure out something as simple as recursive simulation.

    Three different LLM systems figured out that the execution
    trace of DD correctly simulated by HHH does match the
    *recursive simulation non-halting behavior pattern*
    on their own without prompting that such a pattern even exists.

    The simulation shows DD calling HHH(DD) repeatedly
    This creates an infinite recursive loop in the simulation
    No simulated execution path leads to DD's return statement
    being reached
    https://claude.ai/share/da9e56ba-f4e9-45ee-9f2c-dc5ffe10f00c

    In other words, simulating DD() requires simulating
    HHH(DD), which requires simulating DD() againrCa recursive
    simulation.

    This creates an infinite regress rCo HHH cannot finish
    simulating DD() because to simulate it, it must simulate
    itself again, and again, and againrCa
    https://chatgpt.com/share/68939ee5-e2f8-8011-837d-438fe8e98b9c

    When HHH simulates DD, it must model DD's execution,
    including the call to HHH(DD) within DD.
    This introduces a recursive simulation: HHH simulating
    DD involves simulating DD's call to HHH(DD), which
    requires HHH to simulate DD again, and so on.

    *This is a fact proven true on the basis of its meaning*
    When 0 to reR instructions of DD are correctly
    simulated by HHH this simulated DD never reaches
    its own simulated "return" statement final halt state.

    As usual irrelevant claims.
    For each of these input it can been proven that the final halt state is specified in the input by using other means, like world-class simulators.
    The failure to reach the final halt state does not change that
    specification of the input.
    It only shows why simulation is not the correct tool.
    Not reaching the final halt state is a property of the simulator, not of
    the program specified in its input
