    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?

    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.

    **Has agreed with these principles of HHH/DD**

    <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

    H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
    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

    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???


    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.

    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).

    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.
    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 >>>>>>

    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).

    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 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

    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

    calling turing a cheap copy cat of godel is pretty rich since he
    invented the foundational model of computing that the rest of our

    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
    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

    Olcott's Minimal Type Theory
    G rao -4Prov_PA(riLGriY)
    Directed Graph of evaluation sequence
    00 rao 01 02
    01 G
    02 -4 03
    03 Prov_PA 04
    04 G||del_Number_of 01 // cycle

    Within the above directed graph of its evaluation sequence.

    BEGIN:(G||del 1931:39-41)
    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

    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.

    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.

    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?
