    Because it proves beyond all possible doubt that DD

    Unless UR nuts (or so indoctrinated to drink the
    Kool-Aid of the conventional view that you can't
    think clearly) you would realize that *NOT REJECTING*
    an input that does the opposite of whatever value
    its decider returns *HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY NUTS*

    Proof Theoretic Semantics inherently does this for
    every aspect of any input that does not have a
    finite back-chained sequence of inference steps
    to valid closure.

    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number
    of steps. With PTS these inference steps are
    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed
    to be considered.


    i don't need to insult you to point out the fact DD is a valid
    machine that halts when executed,

    why do u think u need to insult me back when i point that out?


    You keep changing the subject away from the
    fact that DD has always been a bad input to
    any halt decider.

    i thought we agreed an HHH1 which is not named in DD could correctly

    be as far back as 1930.

    The key relevant thing is that ALL PTS experts
    now universally agree that such expressions
    lack any semantic meaning because all PTS
    experts universally agree that ALL semantic
    meaning ONLY comes from finite sequences of
    inference steps.

    in proofs.

    It thus belongs to inferentialism (a term coined by

    I don't allocate equal weight to falsehoods.
    The HP counter-example input has always been
    bad and the only reason this is not universally
    understood is that sheeple herd together in
    the conventional views.

    no, turing's diagonal counter-example, the _original_ problem, is not
    a trivial program that produces no output.

    it actually performs a computation and deciding on that computation
    is an issue.


    Any input that does the opposite of whatever value its
    decider returns should have been rejected as bad input
    is dead obvious.

    the computation doesn't _try_ to contradict itself, it necessarily does
    it as an artifact of it's construction of applying the decider to all input...


    It is isomorphic to the Liar Paradox and the sheeple
    of humanity never figured that out because the would
    rather herd together than know the truth.


    I am not sure how far back PTS has generically
    rejected every expression that specifies cycles
    in the directed graph of inference steps it may
    be as far back as 1930.

    The key relevant thing is that ALL PTS experts
    now universally agree that such expressions
    lack any semantic meaning because all PTS
    experts universally agree that ALL semantic
    meaning ONLY comes from finite sequences of
    inference steps.

    what the difference between a "finite sequence of inference steps" and a computation???


    What is wrong with a payroll system that gets

    Unless the other paragraphs below are over-your-head
    they provide the crucial foundational basis for how I
    have been correct all along:

    In analytic philosophy, anti-realism is the position
    that the truth of a statement rests on its demonstrability
    through internal logic mechanisms...
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-realism

    All that "anti-realism" is really saying is that truth
    is computable even though the compositional meaning of
    "anti-realism" says something like a psychotic break
    from reality.


    This article was written by the guy that coined
    the term "proof theoretic semantics"

    1.2 Inferentialism, intuitionism, anti-realism
    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,
    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs.

    It thus belongs to inferentialism (a term coined by
    Brandom, see his 1994; 2000) according to which
    inferences and the rules of inference establish the
    meaning of expressions...

    It is isomorphic to the Liar Paradox and the sheeple

    is it not "isomorhpic" to the liar's paradox, it an infinitely running computation that tests the entire enumeration of machines, and in doing

    circle-free machine, both of which are infinitely running results.

    the liar's paradox does no such thing even remotely

    the circle-free paradox is not an intentional construction to deceive a decider ... it just is a result of trying to universally apply a
    true/false circle-free decider to all machines, causing the decider to
    fail on deciding itself.

    of humanity never figured that out because the would

    The HP counter-example input has always been

    no, turing's diagonal counter-example, the _original_ problem, is >>>>>> not a trivial program that produces no output.

    it actually performs a computation and deciding on that
    computation is an issue.


    Any input that does the opposite of whatever value its

    is dead obvious.

    the computation doesn't _try_ to contradict itself, it necessarily
    does it as an artifact of it's construction of applying the decider
    to all input...


    It is isomorphic to the Liar Paradox and the sheeple

    is it not "isomorhpic" to the liar's paradox, it an infinitely running
    computation that tests the entire enumeration of machines, and in
    doing so stumbles on trying to decide on itself as either a circular
    or circle-free machine, both of which are infinitely running results.

    the liar's paradox does no such thing even remotely

    the circle-free paradox is not an intentional construction to deceive
    a decider ... it just is a result of trying to universally apply a
    true/ false circle-free decider to all machines, causing the decider
    to fail on deciding itself.


    I proved the HP input is the same as the Liar Paradox back in 2004

    Are claiming that all of the textbooks about the
    halting problem are a complete misrepresentation this: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf

    My process is to start with the succinct essence of
    enormously difficult analytical problems and then
    spend decades boiling them down to their barest
    possible essence.

    This is the succinct essence that I started with. https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    The barest possible essence is that a proof theoretic
    halt prover H rejects the HP counter-example input
    D as meaningless. In PTS meaning is only acquired
    through a finite sequence of inference steps. Infinite
    sequences are rejected as ungrounded.

    The above uses exactly standard PTS terminology
    to the best of my current ability.

    Right, but the *CORRECT* simulation of D will halt, since the H that it
    uses happens to stop simulating it, thus H can not correctly determine
    that D will not halt unless its correct simulatin is halted.

    Your logic is based on assuming false premises are true.


    -a-a-a H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
    -a-a-a specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
    </MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>



    And, since the criteria was not meet, but H aborted anyway, it makes an
    error.

    Your problem is you are confusing the requirements of H with the actual implementation of H. You assume that your H does what it was supposed
    to, but it doesn't (because it CAN'T, as that result is uncomputable)

    "Which H" we are talking about as far as the behavior of D was fixed
    when you built D. That H has a fixed behavior, which is clearly to abort
    and return 0.

    When you talk about "an H" deciding on it, and it doing a correct
    simulation doesn't change what "H" "D" was built on. The deciding H can
    be a different machine, with different behavior, and that could simulate
    the input to the final state, and thus it can not conclude that it can't
    do that. The issue then is you no longer have the equivalence of the
    deciding H from the H that D was built on, as your logic assumes you can change the input and it still be the same input.

    All you have done is proven that the H that D was built on was jus
    INCORRECT to do what it did and abort its simulation.

    Your logic is built on your LIES that the PROGRAM D that H is given can somehow determine what H is deciding on it and change. That Make D
    actually not a program, and your setup is a lie.

    You then equivocate and talk about an infinte set of H/D as if they are
    the one H/D that is given, thus showing you are just lying and
    effectively claiming that 1 is the same as infinity. In actuallity,
    every one of those H are wrong about their D (which are all diffferent
    Ds based on the different Hs) and thus your claim that "H" is correct is
    just an infinite number of LIES.

    Sorry, all you are doing is proving that you don't know how to do logic,
    that you don't know what you are talking about, but are just a
    pathological liar that doesn't care how stupid you are.

    _complete_ misrepresentation??? no that would be a false dichotomy. it's
    a simpler form of the problem, perhaps even the simplest.

    but i do recommend carefully reading p247 and reconstructing his problem definition in whatever psuedo-code u choose to understand exactly the
    what he demonstrated.

    i don't think u will polcott, but i'm truly recommending it and then
    trying to apply your logical resolution to it directly.

    i found that doing so helped my advanced my ideas greatly...

    I don't allocate equal weight to falsehoods.
    The HP counter-example input has always been
    bad and the only reason this is not universally
    understood is that sheeple herd together in
    the conventional views.

    no, turing's diagonal counter-example, the _original_ problem, >>>>>>>>> is not a trivial program that produces no output.

    it actually performs a computation and deciding on that
    computation is an issue.


    Any input that does the opposite of whatever value its
    decider returns should have been rejected as bad input
    is dead obvious.

    the computation doesn't _try_ to contradict itself, it
    necessarily does it as an artifact of it's construction of
    applying the decider to all input...


    It is isomorphic to the Liar Paradox and the sheeple

    is it not "isomorhpic" to the liar's paradox, it an infinitely
    running computation that tests the entire enumeration of machines,
    and in doing so stumbles on trying to decide on itself as either a
    circular or circle-free machine, both of which are infinitely
    running results.

    the liar's paradox does no such thing even remotely

    the circle-free paradox is not an intentional construction to
    deceive a decider ... it just is a result of trying to universally
    apply a true/ false circle-free decider to all machines, causing
    the decider to fail on deciding itself.


    I proved the HP input is the same as the Liar Paradox back in 2004

    the circle-free problem found in turing's diagonals are not the same
    thing as the halting problem, peter


    Are claiming that all of the textbooks about the
    halting problem are a complete misrepresentation this:
    https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf

    _complete_ misrepresentation??? no that would be a false dichotomy. it's
    a simpler form of the problem, perhaps even the simplest.

    but i do recommend carefully reading p247 and reconstructing his problem definition in whatever psuedo-code u choose to understand exactly the
    what he demonstrated.

    i don't think u will polcott, but i'm truly recommending it and then
    trying to apply your logical resolution to it directly.

    i found that doing so helped my advanced my ideas greatly...


    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);
    }

    Proof Theoretic Semantics unequivocally rejects DD
    as semantically meaningless.

    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,
    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs. ... inferences and the rules of inference
    establish the meaning of expressions...

    Schroeder-Heister, Peter, 2024 "Proof-Theoretic Semantics" https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/proof-theoretic-semantics/#InfeIntuAntiReal


    My process is to start with the succinct essence of
    enormously difficult analytical problems and then
    spend decades boiling them down to their barest
    possible essence.

    This is the succinct essence that I started with.
    https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    The barest possible essence is that a proof theoretic
    halt prover H rejects the HP counter-example input
    D as meaningless. In PTS meaning is only acquired
    through a finite sequence of inference steps. Infinite
    sequences are rejected as ungrounded.

    The above uses exactly standard PTS terminology
    to the best of my current ability.

    Any input that does the opposite of whatever value its

    the liar's paradox does no such thing even remotely

    the circle-free paradox is not an intentional construction to

    universally apply a true/ false circle-free decider to all
    machines, causing the decider to fail on deciding itself.


    I proved the HP input is the same as the Liar Paradox back in 2004

    the circle-free problem found in turing's diagonals are not the
    same thing as the halting problem, peter


    Are claiming that all of the textbooks about the
    halting problem are a complete misrepresentation this:
    https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf

    _complete_ misrepresentation??? no that would be a false dichotomy.
    it's a simpler form of the problem, perhaps even the simplest.

    but i do recommend carefully reading p247 and reconstructing his
    problem definition in whatever psuedo-code u choose to understand
    exactly the what he demonstrated.

    i don't think u will polcott, but i'm truly recommending it and then
    trying to apply your logical resolution to it directly.

    i found that doing so helped my advanced my ideas greatly...


    typedef int (*ptr)();

    peter, that's just copy pasting a halting problem, it's not the problem
    as described by turing himself

    rick managed to do it, can you?


    So you are incapable of showing a MATERIAL difference

    difference exists.

    Are claiming that all of the textbooks about the

    _complete_ misrepresentation??? no that would be a false dichotomy. >>>>> it's a simpler form of the problem, perhaps even the simplest.

    but i do recommend carefully reading p247 and reconstructing his
    problem definition in whatever psuedo-code u choose to understand
    exactly the what he demonstrated.

    i don't think u will polcott, but i'm truly recommending it and
    then trying to apply your logical resolution to it directly.

    i found that doing so helped my advanced my ideas greatly...

    peter, that's just copy pasting a halting problem, it's not the

    rick managed to do it, can you?


    So you are incapable of showing a MATERIAL difference
    even though you really really believe such a MATERIAL
    difference exists.

    yes, post what his machine does in psuedo-code


    So you do not understand actual real code?

    peter, that's just copy pasting a halting problem, it's not the

    rick managed to do it, can you?


    So you are incapable of showing a MATERIAL difference
    even though you really really believe such a MATERIAL
    difference exists.

    yes, post what his machine does in psuedo-code


    So you do not understand actual real code?

    no i just want u to work thru his logic peter and a psuedo-code sketch
    of what he was getting at, at the level he reasoned ...

    no idea what ur being so resistant, i'm curious as to how your ideas
    might apply but ur refusing to even look into the matter


    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    Only REAL CODE shows what REALLY HAPPENS

    The answer to the question:

    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    And what is "logically impossible" about an input that is the
    representation of a program that calls a specific implementation of a
    Halt Decider and does the opposite of it?

    Do you not belive in "Programs" existing?


    Note, your idea of an infinite set of inputs and deciders all being
    though of as one is what is logically incorrect/impossible, as one and infinity are different things. The set is not "a programs", and thus not
    a valid input.

    It is common understanding that the halting problem
    counter-example is that a halt decider is required
    to report on the behavior of the encoding of a program
    that does the opposite of whatever it reports.

    This is merely impossible, thus does not limit computation
    any more than the inability to answer this question limits
    computation: "What time is it (yes or no)?"

    It turns out that when the actual inference steps are
    performed according to the semantics of the inference
    language in an attempt to prove halting, that this proof
    itself would not terminate. It is very well understood
    in proof theoretic semantics that non-terminating proof
    proof that inputs are meaningless.

    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,
    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs. ...inferences and the rules of inference
    establish the meaning of expressions.

    A halt decider evaluates its input according to its own
    inference rules rCo the semantics of its language. When

    That non-termination is what DD means as input to HHH.

    Objecting that DD halts when run directly is switching

    Note, the given input only contradicts a single decider, by using a copy

    Nope. As the actual CORRECT SIMULATION of that input will show that it
    reaches a final state.

    The fact that the proported decider that INCORRECTLY determined that it
    can't, and thus stops it processing and returns non-halting is just wrong.

    -a as it is inferential activity which manifests itself

    But for that specific input (which is a program), there *IS* an actual well-founded justifiction tree to the answer, just not one that the
    decider found.

    -a int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);

    A halt decider evaluates its input according to its own
    inference rules rCo the semantics of its language. When
    HHH simulates DD, the simulation cannot terminate.
    That non-termination is what DD means as input to HHH.

    Right, but it doesn't COMPLETELY evalute the behavior of the input.

    Note, "HHH" needs to be an actual specific instance of the algorithm you
    want to claim.

    It doesn't matter that "HHH"'s simulation doesn't terminate, as you have indicated that it choose to INCORRECTLY presume that the correct
    simulation if THIS SPECIFIC PROGRAM (the one based on the HHH that does
    what you presume, that is abort it simulation) will not halt.

    But the actual correct simulaiton of this input does halt.

    Remember, the behavior is the ACTUAL behavior of the machine described
    by the input, not just what the decider happens to determin about it.

    You fail by not understanding the difference between "Objective" facts,
    that are universally true, and "Subjective" impressions based on what
    the observer can determine.

    The REAL definiton of Halting is an objective property.


    Objecting that DD halts when run directly is switching
    to a different rule system mid-argument. You don't get
    to do that. Meaning is defined by the rules you're
    actually using.


    Nope. After all, that *IS* the behavior specified by the language, when
    you include the actual code for the version of HHH that you are claiming
    to be using, that does what you say.

    The problem is you LIE and imagine two different behaviors for the same
    code, which is just an impossibility.

    Your logic is based on assuming LIES are true, showing you don't
    actually understand how logic works.

    HHH INCORRECTLY assumes that the HHH is sees is diffferent than itself,
    and that that other version will keep on simulating.

    With logic like you use, we could say that if you had a real brain that
    you were using, you should have won a Turing Award, but of course, since
    you have proven that this premise isn't true, and you apparently don't
    have a working brain that can handle acutal logic, is the reason you
    haven't be given such a recognition.

    The "Different rule system" is YOURS, as Halting is properly defined as
    an objective propety,

    But of course, since to you "truth" is just something subjective and not
    well defined, you just ignore real definitions and live a life of lies.

    that's a false analogy bro

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state transformation

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of whether

    whether that answer is provable or computable is a different question

    Actually, a key part of his problem is that HIS 'DD' isn't a machine,
    because his 'HHH' isn't a machine either, but is an infinite sets of
    pairings of machines.

    'DD' is a 'something' that represents this relationship.

    And that means that his arguement is just a category error.

    OR that is ONE version of his arguement.

    Alternatively, 'HHH' is presumed to be a 'machine' whose behavior
    changes based on how it is looked at, almost as if it had free will, but
    of course, that means it isn't really a machine, but just a lie.

    Over all, it is clear he doesn't actually understand what he is talking
    about, because he doesn't understand that he needs to use the definition
    of a term that agrees with the context it is used in, esspecially if it
    is a "term-of-art'.

    rick managed to do it, can you?


    So you are incapable of showing a MATERIAL difference
    even though you really really believe such a MATERIAL
    difference exists.

    yes, post what his machine does in psuedo-code


    So you do not understand actual real code?

    no i just want u to work thru his logic peter and a psuedo-code
    sketch of what he was getting at, at the level he reasoned ...

    no idea what ur being so resistant, i'm curious as to how your
    ideas might apply but ur refusing to even look into the matter


    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent
    decades on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state transformation functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of whether
    DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    whether that answer is provable or computable is a different question

    even though you really really believe such a MATERIAL
    difference exists.

    yes, post what his machine does in psuedo-code


    So you do not understand actual real code?

    no i just want u to work thru his logic peter and a psuedo-code
    sketch of what he was getting at, at the level he reasoned ...

    no idea what ur being so resistant, i'm curious as to how your
    ideas might apply but ur refusing to even look into the matter


    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent
    decades on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    But the question isb't "impossible", just uncomputable.

    There *IS* a correct answer, it just can't be handled, in general, by a computation.


    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state transformation
    functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of
    whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    But only for that decider.

    Your problem is you don't know what a "fact" is, or what it means to be
    a "truth".

    The fact that YOU are too stupid, and/or ignorant to get an answer
    doesn't mean there isn't one.

    Remember, the quesition isn't based on the decider itself, as that would
    be a subjective question, but is an objective one about the machine the
    input represents.

    Of course, liars don't like objective criteria, because those have
    factual answers that show that they are actually liars,

    Your DD actually halta if your HHH does what you say, and thus you are
    left with a delima.

    Either admit that you are lying that HHH gets the right answer (since it
    says that DD does not halt, but it does halt) or that you are lying that
    HHH is actually a decider meaning it must first be a program with
    definite behavior (That is, always saying that the input DD will halt).

    Your in ability to see this just shows why you are just a pathological liar.



    whether that answer is provable or computable is a different question

    no idea what ur being so resistant, i'm curious as to how your
    ideas might apply but ur refusing to even look into the matter


    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent
    decades on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state transformation
    functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts or not >>>
    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of
    whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    because he was trying to define the logic to compute an actual
    computable sequence pete: the direct diagonal across all circle-free machines, where the Kth digit of the diagonal is the Kth output digit of
    the Kth circle-free machine ... something u still haven't grasped,
    because u refuse to consider his *actual* argument


    That turns out to be exactly analogous to the G||del numbers
    argument where all of the actual inference steps are hidden.
    This only shows that the number is not computable and totally
    hides why it is uncomputable.

    The Linz proof shows how and why in the most concrete
    way (specific state changes) that is also the simplest. https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    HHH/DD shows these inference steps as fully operational code https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
    For three years now.

    If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its

    So you are incapable of showing a MATERIAL difference
    even though you really really believe such a MATERIAL

    yes, post what his machine does in psuedo-code


    So you do not understand actual real code?

    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent
    decades on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state
    transformation functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts
    or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of
    whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    because he was trying to define the logic to compute an actual
    computable sequence pete: the direct diagonal across all circle-free
    machines, where the Kth digit of the diagonal is the Kth output digit
    of the Kth circle-free machine ... something u still haven't grasped,
    because u refuse to consider his *actual* argument


    That turns out to be exactly analogous to the G||del numbers
    argument where all of the actual inference steps are hidden.
    This only shows that the number is not computable and totally
    hides why it is uncomputable.

    so you agree with turing???


    Turing (as I just explained is a cheap copy cat of G||del).
    Modern versions such as Linz don't look so cheap.


    The Linz proof shows how and why in the most concrete
    way (specific state changes) that is also the simplest.
    https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    HHH/DD shows these inference steps as fully operational code
    https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
    For three years now.

    Introduction to the Theory of Computation 3rd Edition
    https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Theory-Computation-Michael-Sipser/
    dp/113318779X **Has agreed with these principles of HHH/DD**

    <MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>
    -a-a-a-a If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its
    -a-a-a-a input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D
    -a-a-a-a would never stop running unless aborted then

    -a-a-a-a H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
    -a-a-a-a specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
    </MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>

    u don't have to read the whole paper pete, just p247 would suffice
    for the core uncomputable paradox he bases the rest of his paper on


    whether that answer is provable or computable is a different question >>>>>

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state
    transformation functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts >>>>>> or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of
    whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    because he was trying to define the logic to compute an actual
    computable sequence pete: the direct diagonal across all circle-free
    machines, where the Kth digit of the diagonal is the Kth output
    digit of the Kth circle-free machine ... something u still haven't
    grasped, because u refuse to consider his *actual* argument


    That turns out to be exactly analogous to the G||del numbers
    argument where all of the actual inference steps are hidden.
    This only shows that the number is not computable and totally
    hides why it is uncomputable.

    so you agree with turing???


    Turing (as I just explained is a cheap copy cat of G||del).

    calling turing a cheap copy cat of godel is pretty rich since he
    invented the foundational model of computing that the rest of our infrastructure is built off of ... that was a pretty damn functional achievement vs whatever tf godel did.

    i get the math guys all take it up the butt about his supposedly
    ingenious "truth that has no proof", but what a meaningless claim to get
    all excited about

    Modern versions such as Linz don't look so cheap.

    turing's version isn't a contrived issue. it was a result of considering
    the functional problem of being able to compute the limit of computable numbers, and what might happen if we could...

    how does your solution relate to *actual* diagonal problem as presented
    by turing? are you suggesting we just skip machines deemed "invalid
    input"? or something else?



    The Linz proof shows how and why in the most concrete
    way (specific state changes) that is also the simplest.

    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state
    transformation functions that define the runtime of the machine >>>>>>>>
    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it
    halts or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of >>>>>>>> whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    because he was trying to define the logic to compute an actual
    computable sequence pete: the direct diagonal across all circle-
    free machines, where the Kth digit of the diagonal is the Kth
    output digit of the Kth circle-free machine ... something u still >>>>>> haven't grasped, because u refuse to consider his *actual* argument >>>>>>

    That turns out to be exactly analogous to the G||del numbers
    argument where all of the actual inference steps are hidden.
    This only shows that the number is not computable and totally
    hides why it is uncomputable.

    so you agree with turing???


    Turing (as I just explained is a cheap copy cat of G||del).

    calling turing a cheap copy cat of godel is pretty rich since he
    invented the foundational model of computing that the rest of our
    infrastructure is built off of ...-a that was a pretty damn functional
    achievement vs whatever tf godel did.


    On with regards to his https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf
    He is the father of modern computation and deserves the
    away named after his on this basis.

    My other post had all the important stuff that you
    just ignored.

    i'm sorry how this answer for what to do about "invalid input" while
    computing the diagonal???


    i get the math guys all take it up the butt about his supposedly
    ingenious "truth that has no proof", but what a meaningless claim to
    get all excited about

    Modern versions such as Linz don't look so cheap.

    turing's version isn't a contrived issue. it was a result of
    considering the functional problem of being able to compute the limit
    of computable numbers, and what might happen if we could...

    how does your solution relate to *actual* diagonal problem as
    presented by turing? are you suggesting we just skip machines deemed
    "invalid input"? or something else?



    The Linz proof shows how and why in the most concrete
    way (specific state changes) that is also the simplest.
    https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    HHH/DD shows these inference steps as fully operational code
    https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
    For three years now.

    Only when the convoluted mess of the diagonal is translated
    into is simplified essence of the Linz proof can the notion
    of "invalid input" be understood. Likewise for G||del's convoluted
    mess until it is translated into this simplification:

    F reo GF rao -4ProvF(riLGFriY) https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/goedel-incompleteness/#FirIncTheCom

    Within the above directed graph of its evaluation sequence.

    We are therefore confronted with a proposition which asserts its own unprovability. 15

    the diagonal isn't a convoluted mess polcott, all we're doing is

    - enumerating out the machines (by iterating over the natural numbers)
    - testing each possible machine for circle-freeness
    - adding the Kth digit of the Kth circle-free machine to the diagonal

    This one is the clearest diagonal proof https://www.liarparadox.org/Sipser_165_167.pdf

    All diagonal proofs always totally ignore WHY halting
    is undecidable and only prove THAT halting is undecidable.

    That is like firing a guy for not showing up for
    work when the reason he did not show up is he
    was severely injured in a car wreck and sedated
    from surgery so he could not call.

    functional achievement vs whatever tf godel did.


    On with regards to his
    https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf
    He is the father of modern computation and deserves the
    away named after his on this basis.

    My other post had all the important stuff that you
    just ignored.

    i'm sorry how this answer for what to do about "invalid input" while
    computing the diagonal???


    Only when the convoluted mess of the diagonal is translated

    the diagonal isn't a convoluted mess polcott, all we're doing is

    - enumerating out the machines (by iterating over the natural numbers)
    - testing each possible machine for circle-freeness
    - adding the Kth digit of the Kth circle-free machine to the diagonal

    what do we do for machines which test "invalid input"?


    This one is the clearest diagonal proof https://www.liarparadox.org/Sipser_165_167.pdf

    All diagonal proofs always totally ignore WHY halting
    is undecidable and only prove THAT halting is undecidable.

    again, that's kind of an arbitrary diagonal ...

    turing's diagonal is attempting to do something functional across all circle-free machines, names the Kth digit of the Kth machine.

    if we accept ur resolution which is that the diagonal is "invalid input"
    to a circle-free decider, then what is the diagonal supposed to do when
    that's encountered?

    just skip the machine and not put it on the diagonal?
