    Misleading words. Both simulators are given the same input. Both are simulating the same input, which includes HHH, not HHH1. So, there is no difference.
    If there is a difference, you could point to the first instruction that
    has a different result in the simulations. But you can't.

    Sure there is.

    Why doesn't P / D / DD actually do the opposite of what H decides?

    Remember, "behavior" is DEFINED as what the machine it represents does
    when directly run, not does the partial simulation of it by the decider
    reach a final state.

    Or alternativly, what a UTM would do with the input representing the
    FULL program.

    Both of these REQUIRE that the code of the decider be included in "the
    input", not your lie of trying to claim to exclude it.

    You are just proving your stupidity.

    *HHH(DDD)==0 and HHH1(DDD)==1 are both correct* https://claude.ai/share/da9b8e3f-eb16-42ca-a9e8-913f4b88202c

    Based on your LIE:

    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

    that the pattern HHH used was an actual non-termination pattern

    You are


    When we compare DDD emulated by HHH and DDD emulated
    by HHH1 SIDE-BY-SIDE. (Mike didn't do it this way).

    *The difference is when*
    HHH begins to simulate itself simulating DDD and
    HHH1 NEVER begins to simulate itself simulating DDD.

    But "itself" isn't part of the simulation, only in your lies.

    both HHH and HHH1 simulate DDD calling HHH(DDD) which simulates DDD to
    the point that it calls HHH(DDD) again.

    HHH the stops and claims can't halt.

    HHH1 continues, and sees that it does.

    Your problem is you assume that HHH can be something other than what it
    is, in other words that reality lies.


    HHH doesn't actually abort its simulation of DDD until
    after has simulated many hundreds of simulated instructions
    later. HHH simulates itself simulating DDD until DDD calls
    HHH(DDD) again.

    Right, and aborts in error as it thinks it sees a non-terminating
    pattern, when the continued correct simulation of that input shows it halts.

    Note, HHH CAN'T simulate past that point, because *THE* HHH is
    programmed to abort here. HHH1 *IS* the hyptothetical HHH that does't
    abort, as you aren't allowed to change "the input" which has FIXED code
    in it, so the hypothetical HHH needs to see the original input, not your
    lie of a changed DDD.

    The result is just some things are not computable.


    Directly executed Turing machines are outside of the domain of every
    Turing machine decider.

    Then so is mathematics, as "numbers" can't be given to Turing Machines,
    only representations of them.

    By the exact same idea that we can represent a number by a finite
    string, we can express the algorithm, and input, of a Turing Machine as
    a finite string, and thus can talk about what it will do.


    In contrast, the axioms of computation theory do *not* create a
    contradiction.  It simply follows from those axioms that no H exists
    the meets the above requirements, which is a completely valid
    conclusion.

    Which you just continue to lie to, so proving that you are just a
    pathological liar.

    It is YOU who is the pathological liar: the recursive self reference in
    the classical halting problem proofs is a category error just as in
    Russell's Paradox. All halting problems based on such an erroneous construction are thus refuted, here and now, by me, Mr Flibble.

    /Flibble

    The above link to Claude agrees with your category error
    idea this way: Directly executed Turing machines are outside
    of the domain of any Turing machine based decider.

    This means that the behavior of a directly executed machine
    does not contradict the return value of HHH(DD). HHH correctly
    computes the mapping from its input finite string to the
    recursive simulation behavior that it specifies.

    It has never been the case that a halt decider must report
    on the direct execution of any machine. This has always been
    a false assumption and/or incorrect requirement. Claude
    explains the details of this.

    When we compare DDD emulated by HHH and DDD emulated
    by HHH1 SIDE-BY-SIDE. (Mike didn't do it this way).

    *The difference is when*
    HHH begins to simulate itself simulating DDD and
    HHH1 NEVER begins to simulate itself simulating DDD.

    Misleading words. Both simulators are given the same input. Both are simulating the same input, which includes HHH, not HHH1. So, there is no difference.

    *Its just over your head*
    HHH(DDD) Does simulate itself simulating DDD
    thus causing recursive simulation that cannot
    possibly reach the simulated final halt state of DDD.

    HHH1(DDD) NEVER simulates itself simulating DDD thus
    allowing DDD to reach its own simulated final halt state.

    Maybe you are unclear on what the word NEVER means?
    Do you think that NEVER means "some of the time"?

    If there is a difference, you could point to the first instruction that
    has a different result in the simulations. But you can't.

    Nope.

    Your refusal to providee a source is your admission that you are just a
    liar.

    Remember, The DEFINITION of a Halt Deicder is that it is to be a decider
    that decides if the program represented by its input will halt when run.

    The PROBLEM has always been to make a machine to decide if a given
    machine will halt when run.

    If you want to try to claim that those words do not clearly state that
    the domain of that decider is behavior of the program specified, you are
    just proving that you are just a stupid liar that doesn't even
    understand basic English.

    Sorry, you really are proving yourself to be that stupid with your
    claims, and that taints EVERYTHING you ever have written, thus even if
    some of you ideas might of has some worth, because you have destroyed
    your reputation, no one will look at them.

    Thus, you prove you don't understand the meaning of the words you are using,

    You don't know what a program is.

    You don't know what "non-halting" means, and what category of things it

    In other words, you don't know what you are talking about, and think

    Directly executed Turing machines have always been
    outside of the domain of every Turing machine based
    decider.



    Nope.

    Your refusal to providee a source is your admission that you are just
    a liar.

    Remember, The DEFINITION of a Halt Deicder is that it is to be a
    decider that decides if the program represented by its input will halt
    when run.


    It has never been the program represented by its input
    it has always been the behavior specified by its input.
    This is the key mistake that no one noticed in 90 years.

    Really?

    In computability theory, the halting problem is the problem of
    determining, from a description of an arbitrary computer program and an
    input, whether the program will finish running, or continue to run forever.

    Sounds like the program and its representation.


    The Program comes first, and THAT is what the Halting Mapping is based on.

    The finite string representation is the implementation detail for giving
    it to the decider.

    It seems you don't even understand the 101 level terms.

    You are just proving how stupid and ignorant you are. A self-made
    stupidity and ignorance, because you are afraid the truth will brainwash
    you, so you preemptively brainwashed yourself to be immune to the truth.

    This just make you a pathological liar.

    Directly executed Turing machines are outside of the
    domain of every Turing machine decider.

    Then so is mathematics, as "numbers" can't be given to Turing
    Machines, only representations of them.


    Numbers always work the same way so it makes no difference.

    *HHH(DDD)==0 and HHH1(DDD)==1 are both correct*
    https://claude.ai/share/da9b8e3f-eb16-42ca-a9e8-913f4b88202c

    When we compare DDD emulated by HHH and DDD emulated
    by HHH1 SIDE-BY-SIDE. (Mike didn't do it this way).

    *The difference is when*
    HHH begins to simulate itself simulating DDD and
    HHH1 NEVER begins to simulate itself simulating DDD.

    Misleading words. Both simulators are given the same input. Both are
    simulating the same input, which includes HHH, not HHH1. So, there is
    no difference.

    *Its just over your head*
    HHH(DDD) Does simulate itself simulating DDD
    thus causing recursive simulation that cannot
    possibly reach the simulated final halt state of DDD.

    It is apparently over your head that when HHH is unable to reach the end
    of the simulation, this is not a proof that the end does not exist.
    A failing HHH that forgets to count all relevant conditional branch instructions is not a proof that a correct simulation is unable to reach
    that end.

    We see that HHH1 and HHH are simulating exactly the same instructions,
    but HHH fails to reach the end, because of a premature abort, where HHH1
    has no problem to reach the end. This proves that the input specifies an
    end, but HHH fails to reach it. You still cannot point to one single instruction that is correctly simulated differently by HHH1 and HHH.
    Only the last instruction simulated by HHH is incorrect, because the
    semantics of the x86 language requires the processing of the next
    instruction, but HHH gives up.

    If so, then the simulation is incorrect by definition of a correct

    of the words.
