    Nope, that isn't the equivalent.

    You could say: If the correct simulation of the input would never reach
    a final halt state.

    Note, you error in trying to make it the simulation by the decider controlling, the controlling is a CORRECT (and thus complete) simulation
    of this exact input.

    You also error by making the input a category error by not including the
    code for the specific HHH that it calls part of it.

    Nope, it is the DEFINITION

    I guess you are just showing you reject the actual meaning of the words,
    and thus you whole concept of correct reasoning is based on lies.

    of other Turing machines they can at best indirectly

    Right, and it *WAS* given a finite string representation, whose correct simulatin (which HHH doesn't do) exactly reproduces.


    Thus the behavior specified by the input finite string
    overrules and supersedes the behavior of the direct
    execution.

    But that behavior is exactly the behavior of the program it represents.

    Anything else is just al LIE.


    DDD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly

    final halt state, thus overruling and superseding
    the behavior of the directly executed DDD().


    But your HHH doesn't correctly simulate its DDD.

    And, becuase you don't include all of the program of DDD in your representation, it CAN'T be correctly simulated.

    All comments about correct simulation I have made assume this is fixed
    by including that needed code. which of course means no other
    hypothetical HHH is given the same DDD by you arguments, and thus is irrelevent.

    No, because there is no difference between the specification of the

    what the simulator sees and the specification. But that indicates an
    error in the simulator, not a change in the specification.

    So, not possible to reach the final halt state can also bee a failure of
    the simulator. That is the case in HHH.

    The problem is since you HHH *DOES* abort, the input DDD is built on
    that HHH, and includes THAT code, and thus if you give *THIS* input to a version of HHH that doesn't abort, it will simulate the HHH that DOES
    abort, since that is what the input has in it. THus, the variant of HHH
    that doesn't abort, *WILL* simulate *THIS* input to a final state.

    Your argument LIED by changing the code in the input, because you LIE
    about the input not containing the code of HHH. But, if it doesn't
    contaiin that code, then either your HHH isn't "simulating its input" or
    can't actually simulate this input, since it doesn't contain anything to simulate after the call to HHH.

    That is where you make your error, and by refusing to accept that, you
    just make yourself a pathological liar, showing that you don't know the meaning of the words you are using.

    But their is a N number of steps of the correct simulation of DDD that

    That N is just bigger than the number of steps that HHH does, and thus

    It is clear you just don't understand what "correct" means, in part

    The problem is since you HHH *DOES* abort,
    void Infinite_Recursion()
    {
    -a-a Infinite_Recursion();
    -a-a return;
    }

    void Infinite_Loop()

    -a-a HERE: goto HERE;
    -a-a return;
    }

    As it always does as soon as it correctly determines
    that there exists no N steps of correct simulation
    that can possibly reach the "return" instruction final
    halt state.


    But their is a N number of steps of the correct simulation of DDD that
    cause it to halt,
    Again you are a fucking liar. You know that halting is
    reaching a final halt state and nothing else is halting.
    When 0 to infinity steps of DDD are correctly simulated
    by HHH no simulated DDD ever halts.

    Yes

    In addition not-reaching the halt state can have more reasons than a
    non-halting sequence of instructions. E.g.: a computer being switched
    off, a simulation aborted.

    This is you not paying close enough attention to the exact
    words that I exactly said.

    I did not say: DOES NOT REACH ITS FINAL STATE (might have been aborted)
    I said: CANNOT POSSIBLY REACH ITS FINAL STATE (aborted or not)

    Yes it cannot possibly reach its final halt state, because it is
    programmed to do a premature abort. A program cannot possibly do
    something else that what the code specifies. In this case a premature
    abort, preventing the simulated program to reach its final halt state.
    When the simulated program is prevented to reach its final halt state,
    that does not indicate non-halting behaviour of the program, only the
    failure of the simulation and the 'detection' of non-halting.

    Saying that H is required report on the behavior of

    Turing machines cannot directly report on the behavior
    of other Turing machines they can at best indirectly
    report on the behavior of Turing machines through the
    proxy of finite string machine descriptions such as rf?Mrf-.

    Thus the behavior specified by the input finite string
    overrules and supersedes the behavior of the direct
    execution.

    No, because there is no difference between the specification of the
    input and the direct execution.
    *I have proven this to be counter-factual*

    No, you dreamed about it. That is not a proof. If it were true, you
    could show us the instruction that is correctly simulated differently
    from the direct execution. The only thing the traces show is that the simulation fails the correct simulation of a instruction when it does
    not continue with the next one, violating the x86 language.


    HHH(DDD) must simulate itself simulating DDD because DDD calls HHH(DDD)

    This 'itself' is HHH.


    HHH1(DDD) must NOT simulate itself simulating DDD because DDD DOES NOT
    CALL HHH1(DDD)-a-a --- [same behavior as direct execution]

    Indeed, HHH1 must not simulate something different, but the same thing
    as HHH tries to simulate: HHH.
    (Your back is the same back that other people see, even if it is not
    their back.)

    HHH and HHH1 are simulating exactly the same thing: the code in the
    input including HHH. Here HHH1 succeeds to reach the final halt state,
    proving that this final halt states exists, but HHH fails to reach the
    same final halt state specified in the input, closes it eyes when it
    does a premature abort, and then assumes that what it does not see is
    also not in the specification.
    That is your logic: Close your eyes and pretend that what is not seen
    does not exist.
    Open your eyes. HHH and HHH1 have exactly the same input, specifying
    exactly the same behaviour according to the x86 language. HHH1 sees the
    full specification, but HHH sees only the first part of the
    specification and misses the final part, because of a bug hat causes a premature abort. When it would count the conditional branch instructions encountered during the simulation it would be able to see that a finite recursion is not a pattern for non-halting.

    Right, it is *THE PROGRAM* reaching a final state. Dropping that
    qualifier is just your standard method of operation.

    And more imporantly, non-halting, is THE PROGRAM never reaching a final
    state, even after running an unbounded number of steps.

    A partial simulation not reaching the final state of the input is NOT non-halting.

    And, different input are different and might behave differently,

    and programs include ALL the code they use, so DDD includes the code of HHH,

    so different HHHs are given different DDDs since they are each built on
    the HHH that will try to simulate them.

    Sorry, you are just proving you are just a liar who doesn't know what he
    is talking about.
