    Strawman deception. It is the halting problem, not the Olcott abort problem.

    You can learn calculus without the basis of algebra. You can't learn

    Therefore the correct answer H(D,D) should give is "yes".


    *That would cause D(D) to loop, thus wrong answer*
    No. The H that answers 'yes' is a different H.

    Can D correctly simulated by H terminate normally?
    01 int D(ptr x)  // ptr is pointer to int function

    True but not very relevant as none of them is a halt decider.

    I admitted that I was wrong about the details of some things:

    exact same H. I was wrong when I said that it could.

    *This provides evidence that I want an honest dialogue*

    In sufficient as you have provided much more contrary evidence.

    Strawman deception. It is the halting problem, not the Olcott abort problem.

    You can learn calculus without the basis of algebra. You can't learn
    simulating halt deciders without the basis of simulating abort deciders.

    When are you going to extend this theory of simulating abort deciders
    so that it solves the halting problem instead of merely solving the

    *That would cause D(D) to loop, thus wrong answer*
    No. The H that answers 'yes' is a different H.

    Can D correctly simulated by H terminate normally?

    True but not very relevant as none of them is a halt decider.


    We must start with H(D,D) is a correct abort decider

    Perhaps you must. Others needn't.

    I admitted that I was wrong about the details of some things:
    H cannot simply wait for Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to complete when Ĥ.H is this

    You can learn calculus without the basis of algebra. You can't learn
    simulating halt deciders without the basis of simulating abort deciders.

    In other words you misconstrue rhetoric as a kind of reasoning
    that can be applied to rebutting logical arguments.

    I misconstrue nothong you say as any kind of reasoning.


    Yet can't correctly point out any errors.

    It is sufficient to note that you claim that various proofs are
    erroneous without pointing out any errors.


    That the various proofs are correct within their false assumptions
    provides zero evidence that they are correct.

    Assumptions such as "every program/input pair either halts or doesn't halt"?

    The false assumption that a halt decider must report on behavior
    that is different than the behavior that it actually sees.

    The false assumption is that a halt decider must report in behaviour
    it acutally hallucinates even when that is different from the behaviour specified by the input.

    That is a true assumption. That is the specification of a halt
    decider. It must report whether a program would ever halt even
    though it cannot see whether a program would ever halt.

    That contradicts the correct definition of a decider that
    must compute the mapping from its input on the basis of a
    (in this case semantic) property of this input.

    It does not contradict.

    Since D does specify non-halting behavior to H then H(D,D)
    is necessarily correct to reject this input as non-halting.

    D specifies a program which halts when executed.

    That the simulation of D must be aborted by H to prevent its own
    infinite execution conclusively proves that D specifies non-halting
    behavior to H. *The only "rebuttals" to this are damned lies*

    Linz and many others have proven that there are no halt deciders.
    Olcott's only "rebuttals" to this are damned lies.


    You can't even found an actual mistake and have the audacity
    to call me a liar?

    Your last "rebuttal" was anchored in your ignorance about
    how deciders are actually defined to work. They must compute
    the mapping form their actual inputs.


    Right, and since D,D specifies the program D(D) and that Halts, the
    mapping is from D,D -> 1 not 0.

    THAT is the ACTUAL INPUT.

    Not the D based on the OTHER H that doesn't abort and makes D(D) run
    forever.

    THAT is just a lie, but is what you are answering about.

    Strawman deception. It is the halting problem, not the Olcott abort problem.

    You can learn calculus without the basis of algebra. You can't learn
    simulating halt deciders without the basis of simulating abort deciders.

    When are you going to extend this theory of simulating abort deciders
    so that it solves the halting problem instead of merely solving the
    Olcott abort problem?

    But (2) is a LIE.

    There is nothing "Incorrect" about the Halting Question.


    Every yes/no question: Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> such that YES is a correct answer from one entity >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and YES is an incorrect answer from another entity >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> is an incorrect question when posed to this second entity.

    If Ĥ is your x86utm function D, then "yes" is the correct answer to all
    entities.

    *counter factual*
    That is contradicted for H(D,D) and Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩

    What is true is true even when contradicted by a liar. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    It would be correct for this D. We can build another D, based on the

    new H does not give the correct answer for the new D. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *That would cause D(D) to loop, thus wrong answer* >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> No. The H that answers 'yes' is a different H. It would be correct for

    Both questions have a correct answer, but the corresponding H failed to
    give it. It seems Olcott is again confused, because he uses the same
    names for different things.

    I misconstrue nothong you say as any kind of reasoning.


    Yet can't correctly point out any errors.

    It is sufficient to note that you claim that various proofs are
    erroneous without pointing out any errors.


    That the various proofs are correct within their false assumptions
    provides zero evidence that they are correct.

    Assumptions such as "every program/input pair either halts or doesn't halt"?

    The false assumption that a halt decider must report on behavior
    that is different than the behavior that it actually sees.

    The false assumption is that a halt decider must report in behaviour
    it acutally hallucinates even when that is different from the behaviour
    specified by the input.


    In other words you had no clue that all deciders must compute the
    mapping from their actual inputs. You cannot use your own ignorance
    as a correct basis for any rebuttal.

    Not just a mappaing but the one mapping required by the specificaiton
    of the particular type of decider.

    That contradicts the correct definition of a decider that
    must compute the mapping from its input on the basis of a
    (in this case semantic) property of this input.

    It does not contradict.

    Since D does specify non-halting behavior to H then H(D,D)
    is necessarily correct to reject this input as non-halting.

    D specifies a program which halts when executed.

    That the simulation of D must be aborted by H to prevent its own
    infinite execution conclusively proves that D specifies non-halting
    behavior to H. *The only "rebuttals" to this are damned lies*

    Linz and many others have proven that there are no halt deciders.
    Olcott's only "rebuttals" to this are damned lies.


    You can't even found an actual mistake and have the audacity
    to call me a liar?

    Your last "rebuttal" was anchored in your ignorance about
    how deciders are actually defined to work. They must compute
    the mapping form their actual inputs.


    Right, and since D,D specifies the program D(D) and that Halts,

    01 int D(ptr x)  // ptr is pointer to int function
    02 {
    03   int Halt_Status = H(x, x);
    04   if (Halt_Status)
    05     HERE: goto HERE;
    06   return Halt_Status;
    07 }
    08
    09 void main()
    10 {
    11   H(D,D);
    12 }

    Since you know that D(D) correctly simulated by H cannot
    possibly halt, why lie about this and use the strawman
    deception to refer to an instance of D(D) that does not
    even exist in the above computation?


    Because since you H no longer correctly simulates because it aborts,
    that criteria no onger holds. The fact that the ACTUAL CORRECT
    simulation of this input, when H is defined to abort and return 0 as it
    is, will halt, shows that H is just incoorect.


    You are just proving you have no idea how to do logic at all.

    THere goes any hope of people looking at your "Correct Reasoning" when
    it is shown to be based on invalid logic and lies.

    No, it doesn't.

    It specified the behavior of RUNNING D(D). This is an OBJECTIVE specficatin

    It is up to H to figure out how to determine that behavior, which is independent of who is looking or how they looking.


    The fact that you THINK that D(D) presents non-halting behavior to D,

    The question is STILL about the direct running of that exact same input,

    This is a PERFECTLY VALID operation, and doable in your system.

    For instance, just have main call D(D) with THAT H still in the program,
    or have main call UTM(D,D) with THAT H still in the program at the
    location that H always is.

    If you can't, then you are just admitting that you are making your

    Strawman deception. It is the halting problem, not the Olcott abort problem.

    You can learn calculus without the basis of algebra. You can't learn

    If Ĥ is your x86utm function D, then "yes" is the correct answer to all

    That is contradicted for H(D,D) and Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩

    It would be correct for this D. We can build another D, based on the

    Both questions have a correct answer, but the corresponding H failed to
    give it. It seems Olcott is again confused, because he uses the same
    names for different things.

    Assumptions such as "every program/input pair either halts or doesn't halt"?

    The false assumption that a halt decider must report on behavior

    The false assumption is that a halt decider must report in behaviour

    Not just a mappaing but the one mapping required by the specificaiton
    of the particular type of decider.


    The mapping that H(D,D) does correctly compute is that D correctly
    simulated by H cannot possibly halt.

    Which is not the mapping of a halting decider.

    That is a true assumption. That is the specification of a halt decider.

    That contradicts the correct definition of a decider that
    must compute the mapping from its input on the basis of a
    (in this case semantic) property of this input.

    It does not contradict.

    Since D does specify non-halting behavior to H then H(D,D)
    is necessarily correct to reject this input as non-halting.

    D specifies a program which halts when executed.

    That the simulation of D must be aborted by H to prevent its own
    infinite execution conclusively proves that D specifies non-halting
    behavior to H. *The only "rebuttals" to this are damned lies*

    Linz and many others have proven that there are no halt deciders.
    Olcott's only "rebuttals" to this are damned lies.


    You can't even found an actual mistake and have the audacity
    to call me a liar?

    Both mistakes and lies have been found and pointed out. No need
    to repeat.

    What matters is that you have't retracted your claim that Linz
    made a mistake that you can't point out.


    *I think that I remember that we are at this point now*
    Linz did not make a mistake within the mistaken notions of the

    "correct simulation" of that program halts.

    The halting problem is about computing the mapping from the inputs
    to an accept or reject state on the basis of the behavior that the
    input specifies.

    *The input to H(D,D) specifies non-halting behavior to H*
    The above are self-evidently true facts and cannot be denied
    without error.

    The input D,D specifies exaclty one behaviour that does not depend
    on whom that behaviour is told. Any misinterpretation by H does not
    change the specified behaviour.


    If that was true then H(D,D) would never need to abort
    its simulation or H1(D,D) would need to abort its simulation.


    But it doesn't, as H1 proves. Now, this is only true for the D built on
    the H that does abort, since it depends on that, so if you CHANGE H, to
    not abort, it is still wrong, as THAT D will need to be aborted.

    Right, except that instead of "would" it is better to say "does".
    We can verify that H1(D,D) does not need abort: it does not abort

    Strawman deception. It is the halting problem, not the Olcott abort problem.

    You can learn calculus without the basis of algebra. You can't learn
    simulating halt deciders without the basis of simulating abort deciders.

    But (2) is a LIE.

    There is nothing "Incorrect" about the Halting Question.


    Every yes/no question: Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> such that YES is a correct answer from one entity >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and YES is an incorrect answer from another entity

    If Ĥ is your x86utm function D, then "yes" is the correct answer to all
    entities.

    *counter factual*
    That is contradicted for H(D,D) and Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩

    What is true is true even when contradicted by a liar.


    D(D) and Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ only halt because H(D,D) and Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <are>
    correctly reporting on what they actually see. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Every H(D,D) that does not abort its simulation input never
    stops running.

    It would be correct for this D. We can build another D, based on the
    new H, but then the question changes, because the input changes. The
    new H does not give the correct answer for the new D. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *That would cause D(D) to loop, thus wrong answer* >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> No. The H that answers 'yes' is a different H. It would be correct for

    Both questions have a correct answer, but the corresponding H failed to
    give it. It seems Olcott is again confused, because he uses the same
    names for different things.

    True but not very relevant as none of them is a halt decider.

    Until this is understood one lacks the sufficient prerequisites to

    If an honest dialogue is the goal then points of mutual agreement

    Assumptions such as "every program/input pair either halts or doesn't halt"?

    The false assumption that a halt decider must report on behavior >>>>>>> that is different than the behavior that it actually sees.

    The false assumption is that a halt decider must report in behaviour >>>>>> it acutally hallucinates even when that is different from the behaviour >>>>>> specified by the input.


    In other words you had no clue that all deciders must compute the
    mapping from their actual inputs. You cannot use your own ignorance
    as a correct basis for any rebuttal.

    Not just a mappaing but the one mapping required by the specificaiton
    of the particular type of decider.


    The mapping that H(D,D) does correctly compute is that D correctly
    simulated by H cannot possibly halt.

    Which is not the mapping of a halting decider.


    It certainly <is> the mapping of an abort decider.

    That is not proven. Without the necessary definitions it cannot be proven.

    If that was true then H(D,D) would never need to abort
    its simulation or H1(D,D) would need to abort its simulation.

    Right, except that instead of "would" it is better to say "does".

    H1(D,D) does not need to abort only because H(D,D) does need to abort.

    No, they are simulating the same thing, so they have the same need to
    abort or not. They are jus making a different decision about if they wlll.

    Your argument about CHANGING H to not abort is just INVALID as that
    change the behavior of the inpout, since it uses the code of THIS H, as
    it currectly is.


    The error is actually in you encoding of D, by excluding the machine it
    is based on.


    THAT action make the question "invalid", but the actual question and
    input of the Halting problem is still valid and shows that H is just wrong.


    We can verify that H1(D,D) does not need abort: it does not abort
    and does not run foreer.
    That is true.

    Therefor the only remaining option is
    that H(D,D) does not need to abort but aborts anyway because
    otherwise it would not be H(D,D).


    Unless you are clueless about computer programming I can't see how
    you could possibly be not lying about that. If H(D,D) does not abort
    then H1(D,D), D(D) and H(D,D) all keep running forever...


    But that is an IMPOSSIBILITTY.

    The code for H defines what H IS, and that code DOES abort.

    Yes, if Cats were 10 story office buildings, then they would have elevators.

    But they aren't and thus they don't.

    H DOES abort, and any machine that doesn't just isn't THIS H, so trying
    to make this H something else just shows that you are nothing but a
    DAMNED LIAR.

    That is not proven. Without the necessary definitions it cannot be

    I provided this at least 100 times. When I provide a definition

    *Been providing this definition (with one word changed) for over a year*
    (a) If simulating abort decider H correctly simulates its input D until
    H correctly determines that its simulated D would never stop running
    unless aborted then...



    Since you don't DEFINE how H can "Correct Determine" that its simulated
    D would never stop running, you haven't defined your H.

    You apparently don't know what it means to DEFINE an algorithm, likely
    because you don't understand what one is.

    Inveribly, qualifying actions as "Correctly" is invalid in defining an algorithm, you need to define the actual STEP to determine how you
    determine correctly,

    So, all you have done is admitted that you have, at least 100 times,
    shown that you don't understand what you have been talking about, and
    just lying about it.

    No, they are simulating the same thing, so they have the same need to

    wlll.

    You already admitted many times that if no H every aborts its

    Right, No H can simulate the input that is based on it to the point that

    That doesn't mean that no correct simulation of the input, or more
    importantly, that the direct execution of the input doesn't halt.

    THAT is what matters, and you claims are just lies about your fantasy

    Your argument about CHANGING H to not abort is just INVALID as that

    The error is actually in you encoding of D, by excluding the machine

    THAT action make the question "invalid", but the actual question and

    We can verify that H1(D,D) does not need abort: it does not abort
    and does not run foreer.
    That is true.

    Therefor the only remaining option is
    that H(D,D) does not need to abort but aborts anyway because
    otherwise it would not be H(D,D).


    Unless you are clueless about computer programming I can't see how
    you could possibly be not lying about that. If H(D,D) does not abort
    then H1(D,D), D(D) and H(D,D) all keep running forever...


    But that is an IMPOSSIBILITTY.


    You are saying that it is an impossibility that I comment

    No, they are different effective programs because they reference
    different version of H.

    You admit that will


    Every H(D,D) that simulates its input <is> equivalent
    except for whether it aborts its simulation of not.

    Which means they are different, and you are using DEVIL TALK.


    Thus for all practical purposes there are only two.
    (a) Every H(D,D) that simulates its input and aborts.
    (b) Every H(D,D) that simulates its input and does not abort.
    Every H must make sure it is a (b) and not an (a).

    Right, but every D built from an H that is a (B) will also Halt, and
    thus its simulation doesn't need to be aborted.

    We can tell that every office building that weighs between
    150 and 200 tons weighs between 150 and 200 tons and none
    them weight less than 150 tons or more than 200 tones.

    Right, and every H that doesn't abort generates a non-halting input.

    That doesn't say ANYTHING about the other Hs that do abort.

    You already admitted many times that if no H every aborts its
    simulation that D(D) never halts. How are you not lying now?

    Right, No H can simulate the input that is based on it to the
    point that it halts.


    01 int D(ptr x)  // ptr is pointer to int function
    02 {
    03   int Halt_Status = H(x, x);
    04   if (Halt_Status)
    05     HERE: goto HERE;
    06   return Halt_Status;
    07 }
    08
    09 void main()
    10 {
    11   H(D,D);
    12 }


    Not quite:
    Because D calls H in recursive simulation every correct simulation
    of 1 to ∞ steps of D never reach their final state at line 07 and
    halt.

    And each number of steps was a DIFFENT "program" D, when you include
    the "hidden" input of the H that it calls.


    *Yes right these two identical finite strings*
    *are different because they are identical*

    83c4088945fc837dfc007402ebfe8b45fc8be55dc3

    No, they are different effective programs because they reference
    different version of H.

    You admit that will


    Every H(D,D) that simulates its input <is> equivalent
    except for whether it aborts its simulation of not.

    Which means they are different, and you are using DEVIL TALK.


    Thus for all practical purposes there are only two.
    (a) Every H(D,D) that simulates its input and aborts.
    (b) Every H(D,D) that simulates its input and does not abort.
    Every H must make sure it is a (b) and not an (a).

    Right, but every D built from an H that is a (B) will also Halt, and
    thus its simulation doesn't need to be aborted.


    In other words every D built from an H aborts never needed to be
    build from an H that aborts.

    No, its simulation never needed to be aborted.

    Remember, "Needs to abort" has a functional defintion. since D(D) Halts
    (since H(D,D) returns 0) then the H(D,D) deciding it didn't actually
    need to abort is simulation (but does). This can be shown by giving the
    input to another simulator (without changing what D calls).

    The fact that you REFUSE to do that, just shows you KNOW why you are
    wrong, but refuse to look at it.

    You are not ALLOWED to change H in a way that changes the behavior of D
    when arguing about what H needs to do, as H does what it does, so you
    can't change it.

    That is why your definition is on the boundry of being ill-defined. you
    are trying to imply doing things that you are not allowed to do to look
    at things.

    Of course, this is all your own fault for LYING about following Linz and
    Sipser in buildin gyour input, when both of those call for it to be
    built with a COPY of gthe decider, whch you lied about doing, and then
    LIED about not really needing to do it. You have just made your system incompatible with the logic you want to apply.


    This is the kind of deception that could cost your soul, unless
    it is an honest mistake.


    Nope. YOU are the one lying and using deceit.

    build from an H that aborts.

    No, its simulation never needed to be aborted.


    Your every that H(D,D) is not a correct abort decider takes this form:
    *Every H(D,D) that needs to abort its input never needed to abort*
    *its input because some other H somewhere else that did not abort*
    *its input already aborted its input that it never aborted*


    No, you are changing the words, because you naturally lie.

    This H(D,D), that aborts, doesn't need to abort ITS simulation of D(D)
    (but does), as the DIFFERENT INSTANCE of H that D calls, will abort ITS SIMULATION of another copy of D, and return 0 to the D that THIS H is simulating, making the CORRECT SIMULATION of the input to this H (which
    H doesn't do) reach an end without THIS simulation needing to abort.

    NOWHERE did I say there was an H that did not abort, as the algorithm
    for H DOES abort (since we started with the stipulation that we were
    looking at that class of H, since the other clearly gets stuck and is
    wrong).

    Nor did I say that it "already aborted".

    The BEHAVIOR of D was determined and is fixed as soon as this D was
    defined (by fixing the H that it will call). That determines what a
    CORRECT simulation MUST do, and that will be reach an end.

    The Behavior of H was also determined and is fixed as soon as it was
    defined, and that is to abort its simulation of the input.

    Given those two facts, we can also immediately determine that H was not correctly programmed, as it fails to meet its requirement.

    Your failure to understand this seems rooted in the fact that you don't
    seem to be able to accept that things are the way they are and you can't
    just change it if you don't like it. The program H IS what its
    programming says, and there is not "Do the correct thing" instruction to
    use to make H get the right answer.

    You clearly just don't understand how programming, or logic, works, and
    have decided that you get to LIE and just make up your own rules. It is
    a LIE because you also claim you are working in the existing system,
    which you know you are not.

    It seems, you treat reality the same as math and logic, the difference
    will be that reality WILL impose its rules on you, as it is "bigger"
    than you.

    It does not contradict.


    Since D does specify non-halting behavior to H then H(D,D)

    Yes both Ben and I agree that Ĥ should not have two start states.


    Perhaps Linz' presentation is not clear enough for you but Linz Ĥ

    has only one start state. When Linz says that an action is prepended

    that means that the start state of H is not the sart state of Ĥ.

    *Linz Ĥ has q0 at its first state and q0 at its second state*

    To me it is clear that the former is the q0 state of Ĥ and the
    latter refers to the state q0 of H. The name of the state q0
    of H is in Ĥ does not matter so Linz does not specify it.

    *My Ĥ has one q0 state and the next q0 is an H state*
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy ∞ // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts

    If Ĥ is your x86utm function D, then "yes" is the correct answer to all

    Both questions have a correct answer, but the corresponding H failed to

    Trying to refer to a different H than every H is a very lame
    attempt to get away with the strawman deception. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Very weak response. I did not say different from every H.
    It seems Olcott does not understand that if he speaks about 'every H'
    then not all these H are equal, but they are different. So two examples

    Every H(D,D) that does not abort its simulation is exactly equal in

    A simulating abort decider simulates its input until this input matches
    one of three non-halting behavior patterns:
    (a) Infinite loop (b) Infinite recursion (c) recursive simulation.
    or the input halts.

    Nope, you keep on lying by changing the words and thus the meaning.

    The H that DOES abort, turns out to not NEED to abort (but still does),
    because the version of it called by D WILL abort, and return 0 and thus
    D(D) Halts, so this H could have reached a conclusion if somehow this
    version of it could not abort (but leave all the other version as they

    *That is the architectural overview, the definitions are here* https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c

    On that page the word "abort" is used (in dfferent forms) 5 times
    but the term "abort decider" is not defined.

    You should quote the definition here or post a more accureate pointer.

    Richard tries to get away with this:

    *Every H(D,D) that needs to abort its input never needed to abort* >>>>>>>>> *its input because some other H somewhere else that did not abort* >>>>>>>>> *its input already aborted its input that it never aborted*



    Nope, you keep on lying by changing the words and thus the meaning. >>>>>>>>
    The H that DOES abort, turns out to not NEED to abort (but still >>>>>>>> does), because the version of it called by D WILL abort, and
    return 0 and thus D(D) Halts, so this H could have reached a
    conclusion if somehow this version of it could not abort (but
    leave all the other version as they were).


    Because every H in the entire recursive chain has the exact same >>>>>>> machine
    code unless the outermost directly executed one aborts its
    simulation
    then none of them do.

    So?

    If the outer one is coded to abort, then they ALL abort

    Counter-factual and you know it.
    They would abort if their code is reachable which it is not.

    Why isn't it reachable to a correct simulation or direct execution?


    That is your evil strawman deception away from this abort
    decider.

    Which is just YOUR strawman to avoid the question you claim to be
    working on.


    01 void D(ptr x) // ptr is pointer to void function

    07 void main()
    08 {
    09   H(D,D);

    That does not pretend to definition of anything. It uses the term

    A simulating abort decider simulates its input until this input
    matches one of three non-halting behavior patterns:
    (a) Infinite loop (b) Infinite recursion (c) recursive simulation.
    or the input halts.

    Is that a definition or a dexcription?


    *That is the architectural overview, the definitions are here*
    https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c

    On that page the word "abort" is used (in dfferent forms) 5 times
    but the term "abort decider" is not defined.

    You should quote the definition here or post a more accureate pointer.


    01 void D(ptr x) // ptr is pointer to void function
    02 {
    03   H(x, x);
    04   return;
    05 }
    06
    07 void main()
    08 {
    09   H(D,D);
    10 }

    H can be construed as an abort decider for the above D.
    This gets the exact same result as the original D.
    D has been simplified to eliminate distracting details.


    Except that your "abort decider" definition isn't a "decider" that has
    requires a non-trivial answer.

    And H that always immediately aborts and says it did is trivially correct.

    D, is also, not a valid input, as it isn't a "Computation", as its
    behavior is dependent on which version of H you give it. (For instance,
    an H that never aborts cause D to be non-halting, and thus needed to be aborted, but an H that always answers, makes D halting, and thus H
    doesn't need to abort it.

    When you try to explain the details of this you contradict yourself.


    WHERE?

    SPECIFICS, or you are just lying via bluster.
