    Nope, the "finite string DD" is just an invalid program representation,

    Of course it can, since you claim that HHH(DD) is correct to return 0,

    return to DD.

    The fact that HHH can't correctly simulate to that point is irrelevent,
    as "Halting" is defined by the behavior of the actual machine, and not
    some incorrect simulators simulation.

    And any simulation that stops before reaching a final state is incorrect
    for the purposes of detemining halting.

    Sorry, you just don't know what your words mean.

    Your comment only proves that you lack sufficient

    This is a proof of lack of logical reasoning.

    Verified fact 1: DD halts (verified by direct execution and many
    simulators, among which HHH1).
    Verified fact 2: HHH aborts the simulation of this halting program and
    reports non-halting.
    Simple logical reasoning leads to the conclusion from these two facts:
    HHH fails to do a correct simulation of the halting program.
    Explanation: There is a bug in the detection of the 'special condition'
    used to abort the program.

    Your comment only proves that you lack sufficient

    No, it proves your lack of sufficient understanding of what programs are.

    Given the file, HHH is a SPECIFIC program and no other.

    The input DD, halts when it is called, and thus is a Halting Program, BY DEFINITION.

    A "Correct Simulator" WILL reach the end of a Halting Program, again BY DEFINITION.

    Since HHH doesn't do that, it fails to be a "Correct Simulator" and thus
    all your claims are just lies.

    The fact that you only retort is to claim someone else doesn't
    understand something, but can't show ANY facts that they don't
    understand, just shows that it is YOU who doesn't understand what you
    are talking about.

    Your arguements demonstrat that you beleive false statements to be true
    because you think it is ok to redefine core terms while still talking
    about a statement that uses those terms in the standard way. That is
    just basic FRAUD, and shows you are just a pathetic LIAR.

    The halting problem has always been a mathematical mapping
    from finite strings to behaviors.

    Yes. And the behaviour of this finite string has been proven to
    show halting behaviour. Only Olcott's HHH fails to see it.
    His misunderstanding is that he thinks that the behaviour defined
    by the finite string depends on the simulator.

    When DD calls HHH(DD) in recursive simulation it is a
    verified fact that DD cannot possibly halt.

    Which proves the failure of HHH. It does not reach the end of a
    halting program. All other methods show that DD halts.


    Your comment only proves that you lack sufficient

    This is a proof of lack of logical reasoning.

    Verified fact 1: DD halts

    Fallacy of equivocation error.
    (a) All men are mortal
    (b) No woman is a man
    ∴ No woman is mortal

    Yes, the claim that DD does not halt is indeed such a fallacy:

    (a) Direct execution and all simulators show that DD halts.
    (b) My simulator is different
    ∴ DD does not halt.


    The input to HHH(DD) cannot possibly terminate normally.
    Referring to some other DD does not change this verfied fact.



    That DD halts is a verified fact. Verified by direct execution and many simulators.
    It is exactly the same finite string as used in HHH, otherwise HHH is
    simply talking about another finite string.
    So, HHH is simply wrong if it claims that DD does not halt. The
    explanation is simple: There is a bug in the detection of the 'special condition' hat causes the abort of the simulation, which makes that the simulation is aborted one cycle before the normal termination of the simulation.

    Of course it does, since the DEFINITION of the behavior of the input is
    the behavior of the program the input represents.

    DD when run, terminates normally because the one and only HHH in this
    problem will aborts its simulation because it INCORRECT decided the
    input does not halt, and returns 0 to it.

    "Finite Strings" don't HAVE behavior, they represent things that do, and
    that behavior is based on the definition of the thing they represent.

    You don't seem to understand what you are talking about, and thus it is
    YOU that has made the equivocation error.

    The "behavior of the input" is DEFINED to be the behavior of the program
    the input describes, which thus must BE a program, and thus includes ALL
    the code of that program.

    Thus "HHH" is a FIXED program, and that program aborts its simulation
    and returns, so any arguement that changes the definition of HHH in the
    world to something else, is BY DEFINITION equivocation, the use of a
    term to mean something diffferent then its intended meaning in the context.

    Sorry, you are just condemning your own arguements.

    DD simulated by HHH cannot possibly terminate normally.

    Indeed, because HHH fails to simulate itself up to the end.
    This is verified with:

    int main() {
    return HHH(main);
    }

    which proves that HHH produces false negatives when trying to simulate
    itself. Since DD is nothing else than a stub to call HHH, we see that
    HHH fails again to reach the end of the simulation of itself. The
    simulation of HHH by itself does not reach the return.
    It is difficult to talk to people that lack the logic to see such simple verified facts.

    Your comment only proves that you lack sufficient

    This is a proof of lack of logical reasoning.

    Verified fact 1: DD halts

    Fallacy of equivocation error.
    (a) All men are mortal
    (b) No woman is a man
    ∴ No woman is mortal

    Yes, the claim that DD does not halt is indeed such a fallacy:

    (a) Direct execution and all simulators show that DD halts.
    (b) My simulator is different
    ∴ DD does not halt.


    The input to HHH(DD) cannot possibly terminate normally.
    Referring to some other DD does not change this verfied fact.



    That DD halts is a verified fact.

    The input to HHH(DD) DOES NOT HALT !!!

    It is a verified fact that the finite string describes a halting
    program. Du to a bug, HHH does not see that, because it investigates
    only the first few instructions of DD. HHH is unable to process the
    call from DD to HHH correctly.

    No sense talking to people that lack sufficient technical
    skill to verify facts. There is no bug and you know it.

    No sense to talk to people denying verified facts.


    DD simulated by HHH cannot possibly terminate normally.

    Indeed, because HHH fails to simulate itself up to the end.
    This is verified with:

            int main() {
              return HHH(main);
            }


    There is no simulating itself to the end with the above
    example either.

    It seems Olcott misses trivial facts. HHH simulates main, which calls
    HHH, so HHH needs to simulate HHH. HHH is unable to complet the
    simulation up to the end, because it aborts the simulation, halts and
    reports non-halting. A false negative.
    It is difficult to talk with someone who does not see the basics of
    simulation.

    Right, and since an actual call to DD() will return since you say
    HHH(DD) "correctly" returns 0, we see that DD() halts.

    Thus, HHH "simulation" must be incorrect.

    Your problem is assume you can change the HHH that DD calls, because you
    think LYING is valid logic.

    Sorry, all you are doing to proving that you are nothing but a ignorant
    FRAUD.

    The halting problem has always been a mathematical mapping

    Yes. And the behaviour of this finite string has been proven to show
    halting behaviour. Only Olcott's HHH fails to see it.
    His misunderstanding is that he thinks that the behaviour defined by
    the finite string depends on the simulator.

    When DD calls HHH(DD) in recursive simulation it is a
    verified fact that DD cannot possibly halt.

    The word "cannot" is not compatible with the meaning of the word "fact".
    That "DD cannot possibly halt" is not a fact. A fact may be that "DD has
    not halted in any test so far".

    Cannot possibly halt in the same way that an infinite
    loop cannot possibly halt.

    I.e., an inference, not a fact.

    It seems Olcott misses trivial facts. HHH simulates main, which calls
    HHH, so HHH needs to simulate HHH. HHH is unable to complet the
    simulation up to the end, because it

    specifies a computation that cannot possibly terminate normally.



    No it is a verified fact that the computation halts. Verified by the
    direct execution and by many simulators.
    Indeed, HHH is unable to do the simulation properly up to the end, but
    that is no way a proof for non-halting, it is a proof of the failure of HHH.

    Olcott's only response to these facts are his claims without evidence.

    The same machine address of DD is the only reference to DD that
    any termination analyzer ever sees.



    And thus your model is incomplete.

    The address alone isn't enough data to answer the question, for
    instance, how can you answer, as a PURE function, what the halting
    behavior is for the program at 0x2BAD is?

    Remember, a PURE FUNCITION can only look at "its input", and not any
    other memory.

    Thus, if we pass the address of an object, we treat the input as the
    objet pointed to by that pointer.

    And thus, your decider needs to consider as its input ALL of the code
    used by that address pointed to by that address, and as such, the code
    for the HHH that DD calls has been FIXED as part of the input.

    Thus, you can't change it to look at you concept of "all HHH", but need
    to use a copy in another address, like HHH1 is, and that example shows
    that some verision of HHH *CAN* simulate to the end of that specific
    input (which included the code of the original HHH)/

    Sorry, you are just proving that you are ignorant of what you talk
    about, and are so stupid that you cant learn that material, or even
    understand that you need to learn it.

    Too Stupid to see you are Stupid,

    Yes, it demonstrates the incapability of HHH to correctly determine the >>>>>> halting behaviour of DD


    The finite string DD specifies non-terminating recursive

    makes HHH necessarily correct to reject its input as
    non-halting.

    The finite string defines one behaviour. This finite string, when given >>>>>> to an X86 processor shows halting behaviour.

    HHH aborts the simulation on unsound grounds one cycle before the

    The halting problem has always been a mathematical mapping

    Yes. And the behaviour of this finite string has been proven to show >>>>>> halting behaviour. Only Olcott's HHH fails to see it.
    His misunderstanding is that he thinks that the behaviour defined by >>>>>> the finite string depends on the simulator.

    When DD calls HHH(DD) in recursive simulation it is a

    The word "cannot" is not compatible with the meaning of the word "fact". >>>> That "DD cannot possibly halt" is not a fact. A fact may be that "DD has >>>> not halted in any test so far".

    Cannot possibly halt in the same way that an infinite
    loop cannot possibly halt.

    I.e., an inference, not a fact.

    void Infinite_Loop()
    {
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return;
    }

    It is more than a fact it is a truism.

    A truism is not more than a fact. It is just a different thing.

    That you don't understand

    as no rebuttal what-so-ever.

    It is a sin to present a false claim about another person.

    Then quit doing it.

    I can remind you that it is a sin but I can't prevent you from doing it.

    Anyway, this is not relevant to the observation that the claim on

    Which just shows you don't understand the Halting Problem. Computation
    Theory, or Logic.

    was introduced to the discussion and the fact
    that the pointer to the article at the end of the discussion is not
    linked to any specific point do entail exacltly that.

    The
    context has always been this paper for several years.

    Irrelevant to OP.

    No, your paper is just a LIE, and your statement is not a truism, and
    you are just proving that you are nothing but a stupid liar that doesn't understand what


    Since there is a 5% chance that the treatment I will
    have next month will kill me and this treatment is
    my only good chance I will totally ignore anything
    that diverges from the point.



    Since you were never "on" the point, since you don't understand the
    meaning of the terms you use, you have always just been wrong.

    Part of your problem is you are so stuck in your own ideas, you refuse
    to even consider that you might be totally lost, and thus dive deeper
    into your false ideas.

    When you try to show the steps attempting to show that
    it is false I will point out the error.

    We havm, but you are too stupid to understand it.

    Since when DD run, it halts, as you have agreed, BY DEFINITION, that
    input has haltiong behavior.

    Remember, the question put to a halt decider is about the behavior the
    input represents, and the behavior of the input represents is defined to
    be the behavior of running the program it represents.


    This is the only topic that I will discuss and any
    reply not showing all of the steps of a rebuttal
    will be ignored.

    THen why you keep on bringing up the STRAWMAN of the behavior of the
    incorrect simulation of the input by HHH?

    Since when DD run, it halts,
    THAT IS A DIFFERENT INSTANCE
    But they all act the same.
    counter-factual
    Yes, HHH simulates DD counter to the fact that it halts.

    Why are you passing the wrong input to HHH?
    I will begin ignoring insincere replies.
    Yes, please shut up.

    But why are you not passing the same instance to HHH?

    DD  correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly terminate normally.

    That claim has already shown to be false. Nothing above shows that
    HHH does not return 0. If it does DD also returns 0.


    When we know that DD is simulated by HHH we know that
    HHH cannot possibly return to this DD as long as we
    have at least a little competence in the C language.




    But the problem is that is bad knowledge, ad HHH does not CORRECTLY
    simulate its input, and thus to presume it does is an error.

    Your logic is just built on LIES.

    HHH is a termination analyzer that way we can use software
    engineering terms that more aptly refer to "normal termination"
    rather than the somewhat more ambiguous term of "halting".

    Except that your "software engineering terms" seem to disagree as to
    some fundamental principles, likely because you are just as ignorant of
    what REAL Software Engineering is.


    This also allows us to refer to the much more expressive
    RASP architecture and not be limited by the tediousness
    of Turing Machines.


    Nope, but of course, you are too stupid to understand, because "rules"
    just don't make sense to a pathological liar like you.

    Technically a decider is any TM that always stops running. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decider_(Turing_machine)

    I am focusing on the isomorphic notion of a termination analyzer.
    A simulating termination analyzer correctly rejects any input
    that must be aborted to prevent its own non-termination.




    Right, but the answer given by the decider must match the problem.

    The Halting Problem, and the Terminataiton Analyzer problem both deal
    with the behavior of the program described when it is just run.

    It is NOT about if the "decider" can simulate it to a final state.

    Thus, your whole argument has run into the problem of you using a
    strawman of the wrong question.

    Sorry, that just breaks all you conclusions.

    an ambiguous „abnormal termination”. How does HHH simulate DD
    terminating abnormally, then? Why doesn’t it terminate abnormally
    itself?
    You can substitute the term: the input DD to HHH does not need to be
    aborted, because the simulated decider terminates.

    Except your words don't actually have meaning in the concept of things
    needing to be acutal programs, so you are proved to be too stupid to
    matter, and too stupid to understand your stupidity.

    All you are doing is admitting that your "termination analyzer" fails to actually be a program, and isn't the code of your C code, thus showing
    you are just lying.

    You can substitute the term: the input DD to HHH does not need to be

    typedef void (*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);
    }

    Every simulated input that must be aborted to
    prevent the non-termination of HHH is stipulated
    to be correctly rejected by HHH as non-terminating.

    A very strange and invalid stipulation.

    That olcott's simulator is unable to terminate its simulation normally
    is not very interesting. Everyone can make a simulator that is unable to complete its simulation.

    Right, but the answer given by the decider must match the problem.


    Any divergence from the above specification is stipulated

    In other words, you are ADMITTING you have no idea of the actual
    problem, and think people are interested in your strawman.

    The WORLD will reject any divergence from the actual specification,
    leaving you out in the dark just admitting you are a moron.


    *This is the pathological input termination analyzer problem*

    and some people may not see this.


    In other words, you are just now admitting you have been LYING for

    claiming you were working.

    Glad you finally admitted it.

    The POOP theory is admitted to be just a pile of shit that you made
    up, and says NOTHING about the real Halting Problem that you are
    admitting is too "complecated" for you to undetstand.

    Sorry, that is the facts of what you just said.

    I am stipulating that I have solved the simulating

    Then stop saying your answer apply to the halting problem.

    And stop saying your answer refutes the problem you are now admittiong
    you were never working on.


    Some people will see a remarkable similarity to the
    halting problem proofs, and some will not.


    Since there actually isn't any, those that think there is a real
    connection are just stupid.

    Oh, YOU are one that think they are connected.

    So, you are just admitting that you are stupd.

    Your biggest problem is you MISUSE so many terms becuase you have tried
    to redefine them. Things like "program" and "semantics", so you really
    need to olcott-prefix your redefined words, or your statements are
    really just a stupid attempt at fraud. This seems deliberate, since you
    so refuse to even acknoldge that you are using the words in a
    non-standard way.

    Note, you don't even actually define your problem, because if you did
    clearly define what you mean, it would be obvious that what you are
    talking about is totally worthless and uninteresting.

    DD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly terminate normally.
    What’s confusing about „halts”? I find it clearer as it does not imply

    You can substitute the term: the input DD to HHH does not need to be

    I am not even using the confusing term "halts".
    Instead I am using in its place "terminates normally".
    DD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly terminate normally.
    What’s confusing about „halts”? I find it clearer as it does not imply
    an ambiguous „abnormal termination”. How does HHH simulate DD
    terminating abnormally, then? Why doesn’t it terminate abnormally
    itself?
    You can substitute the term: the input DD to HHH does not need to be >>>>> aborted, because the simulated decider terminates.


    typedef void (*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);
    }

    Every simulated input that must be aborted to

    to be correctly rejected by HHH as non-terminating.

    A very strange and invalid stipulation.

    It merely means that the words do not have their ordinary meaning.


    Unless HHH(DD) aborts its simulation of DD itself cannot possibly
    terminate normally. Every expert in the C programming language
    can see this. People that are not experts get confused by the loop
    after the "if" statement.


    So? Since it does that, it needs to presume that the copy of itself it
    sees called does that.

    You just don't undetstand that HHH needs to be a SINGLE program in any
    example, not two different programs.

    Your logic is just built on the claimed right to lie, which doesn't exist.

    Maybe YOU are the one that gets confused by the loop after the if, but
    since that never got into play in your analysis, it is irrelevent.

    HHH is just WRONG in its analysis that DD doesn't halt because it calls HHH(DD), and is wrong because it doesn't understand what it is.

    You are just proving your utter stupidity, and that you don't care about
    truth, just trying to prove your lies.

    The point Olcott misses is that if the non-terminating HHH is changed to
    abort the simulation, the program is changed. He does not understand
    that a modification of a program makes a change. Such a change modifies
    the behaviour of the program. The non-termination behaviour has
    disappeared with this change and only remains in his dreams. After this
    change, the simulation would terminate normally and HHH should no longer
    abort. But it does, because the code that detects the 'special
    condition' has a bug, which makes that it does not see that the program
    has been changed into a halting program.

    And you miss, that since the first does it, all of them do it, and thus

    You seem to thing that the behavior of a program is defined by an

    Sorry, you are just proving how STUPID you are, and that you "logic" is
    just a FRAUD.

    I am not even using the confusing term "halts".
    Instead I am using in its place "terminates normally".
    DD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly terminate normally.
    What’s confusing about „halts”? I find it clearer as it does not imply
    an ambiguous „abnormal termination”. How does HHH simulate DD
    terminating abnormally, then? Why doesn’t it terminate abnormally
    itself?
    You can substitute the term: the input DD to HHH does not need to be >>>>> aborted, because the simulated decider terminates.


    typedef void (*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);
    }

    Every simulated input that must be aborted to
    prevent the non-termination of HHH is stipulated
    to be correctly rejected by HHH as non-terminating.

    A very strange and invalid stipulation.

    It merely means that the words do not have their ordinary meaning.


    Unless HHH(DD) aborts its simulation of DD itself cannot possibly
    terminate normally.

    That cannot be determined without examination of HHH, which is not in the
    scope of OP.

    Every expert in the C programming language can see this.

    They can't when they can't see HHH and even then it is not obvious,
    so the claim on the subject line is false.

    So? Since it does that, it needs to presume that the copy of itself
    it sees called does that.


    Not at all. Perhaps your technical skill is much more woefully
    deficient than I ever imagined.

    Here is the point that you just missed Unless the first HHH
    that sees the non-terminating pattern aborts its simulation
    none of them do because they all have the exact same code.




    And you miss, that since the first does it, all of them do it,
    Unless THE FIRST ONE THAT SEES IT DOES IT NONE OF THEM DO


    But the first one is the same as the rest, so either *ALL* do or none do.

    IF HHH does, then DD calls the HHH(DD) that returns 0, and thus is a
    halting computation, even though HHH can't find that out because it gave
    up too soon. (as required by its programming).

    IF HHH doesn't, then, yes, DD calls the HHH(DD) that doesn't return and
    becomes non-halting, but this HHH never answers so wasn't correct.

    Just as both HHH's were different, so were the DDs, since to be a
    program, it includes all of its code.

    TO say they are the same, is to admit that you are lying that DD
    qualifies as an input, because you are too stupid to understand the
    definition of a PROGRAM.

    Sorry, all you are doing is proving your stupidity, and that you are so
    stupid that you can't see your stupidity, or even begin to learn about it.


    That will be your eternal legacy, that Peter Olcott was nothing other
    than an damned pathological liar that beleived his own lies.

    https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c


    Yes, and then insist that those don't define the programs, because your
    HHH is NOT actually defined to be the HHH in that code, because you
    claim that HHH could do something that code doesn't do.

    In other words, you claim what is in reality doesn't matter, but you are allowed to lie about things to prove your point.

    Which just shows you have lost touch with the meaning of truth and reality.



    Every expert in the C programming language can see this.

    They can't when they can't see HHH and even then it is not obvious,
    so the claim on the subject line is false.

    Every simulated input that must be aborted to prevent the
    non-termination of HHH is stipulated to be correctly rejected by
    HHH as non-terminating.

    A very strange and invalid stipulation.

    It merely means that the words do not have their ordinary meaning.

    Unless HHH(DD) aborts its simulation of DD itself cannot possibly
    terminate normally.

    That cannot be determined without examination of HHH, which is not in
    the scope of OP.

    I have given everyone here all of the complete source code for a few
    years
    918-1156 // All of the lines of termination analyzer HHH https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
    Why won’t you talk about what line 1059 does? https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/ 48b4cbfeb3f486507276a5fc4e9b10875ab24dbf/Halt7.c#L1059

    Every expert in the C programming language can see this.
    They can't when they can't see HHH and even then it is not obvious,
    so the claim on the subject line is false.

    Yes. It would be a relief if you could move on to posting something new

    And thus, you LIE when you claim that HHH does something different then
    that code;

    Note, a given program doesn't have "variations" but is always exactly
    what it is.

    If you have variations, you don't have a single defined program, and all
    your work is prove to be based on admitted lies.

    EIther HHH is one specific program always and forever, or you need to
    specify which variation you are using at every instance, something you
    do not do as it would prove you are just lying.

    I have only been talking about variations of the same code

    But, by variations, you mean changing it in the middle of a problem, so
    DD (and the equivalents) have never been a defined program, and thus not suitable to be decided on.

    All you are doing is ADMITTING that you claims are based on lies, and
    that you are too stupid to understand how stupid your claims are.

    You can substitute the term: the input DD to HHH does not need to be
    aborted, because the simulated decider terminates.


    typedef void (*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);
    }

    Every simulated input that must be aborted to
    prevent the non-termination of HHH is stipulated
    to be correctly rejected by HHH as non-terminating.

    A very strange and invalid stipulation.

    It merely means that the words do not have their ordinary meaning. >>>>

    I understnd the sentence except the word "variations". What is the

    Anyway OP did not specify that HHH is restricted to those "variations".

    Good you are being completely reasonable.
    There are at least two algorithms the current
    one that was also the original one is easiest to
    understand. This algorithm essentially spots the
    equivalent of infinite recursion. The code provides
    all of the details.

    But does so incorrectly, since it doesn't see that HHH will abort its emulation, and thus it isn't infinite.

    Your logic is basicaly that either 1 or 2 is infinite, which just shows
    your level of intelgence.


    Anyway OP did not specify that HHH is restricted to those "variations".
    Another undefined word of OP is "cannot". About a person it may mean
    that one does not do what one wants to do but a program does not want.


    HHH is exactly as specified. Assuming otherwise is silly.

    Good you are being completely reasonable.
    There are at least two algorithms the current
    one that was also the original one is easiest to
    understand. This algorithm essentially spots the
    equivalent of infinite recursion. The code provides
    all of the details.

    HHH is exactly as specified. Assuming otherwise is silly.

    The words "as specified" when nothing is specified are not a good use
    of the language.

    When DD is correctly simulated by HHH according to the behavior
    that the above machine code specifies then the call from DD
    to HHH(DD) cannot possibly return making it impossible for DD
    emulated by HHH to terminate normally.


    But DD is NOT correctly simulated by your defined HHH, so your statement
    is just a LIE.

    Note, that the behavior of DD is NOT based on its simulation by HHH, but
    by its behavior when run or actually correctly emulated.


    and this correctly simulated
    DD cannot possibly terminate normally by reaching its own machine
    address 00002155.



    Sure it can, that trace has been posted, so you are just proven to be a
    liar.

    Yes, your HHH can't do it, but that is because it doesn't do a correct simulation of the input, but makes the mistake of assuming something
    that is incorrect, that HHHN doesn't abort its simulation, when it does.

    All that proves is that you think LIES are acceptable, which is what
    make you into the pathological liar you are.

    What’s confusing about „halts”? I find it clearer as it does not imply
    an ambiguous „abnormal termination”. How does HHH simulate DD
    terminating abnormally, then? Why doesn’t it terminate abnormally
    itself?

    When HHH is known to emulate the above code with an x86
    emulator THEN

    No, it PARTIALLY emulates the input, which doesn't provide a definition
    of behavior.

    You need to decide on the identity of HHH, is it a decider, which will
    always return, or is it an emulator, that will not return if given a non-halting input.

    It can't be both, as those are contradictory results.


    the above machine code specifies then the call from DD
    to HHH(DD) cannot possibly return making it impossible for DD
    emulated by HHH to terminate normally.

    Nope, if you specify that HHH is actually a correct emulator, then you
    can not let it abort, or you are just shown to be a stupid liar.


    Trying to show that there is an error in an argument
    by ignoring a premise to this argument seems to be
    a quite dumb thing to do.

    But if your premise is that HHH is an emulator, then YOU ignored it by
    saying it aborts its emulation.

    If you say it is a decider, you ignore that premise when you say it is
    an emulatopr.

    All you are doing is proving that you are nothing but a pathetic
    pathological lying idiot.


    Your HHH does not simulate correctly the call to HHH in the sense
    that it does not interprete HHH as a function that returns 0 but
    your HHH is a function that does return 0 when called as above.

    HHH is exactly as specified. Assuming otherwise is silly.

    Indeed, HHH cannot possibly correctly simulate itself. Which proves that
    it is not the way to go. Why does Olcott try to do the logically
    impossible. Of course that must abort and fail. Just as the drawing of a
    square circle must abort and fail, because it never reaches normal
    termination.

    WHen you include that missing code, you are stuck with the fact that HHH

    Sorry, you are just proving your utter stupidity.

    Good you are being completely reasonable.
    There are at least two algorithms the current
    one that was also the original one is easiest to
    understand. This algorithm essentially spots the
    equivalent of infinite recursion. The code provides
    all of the details.

    Anyway OP did not specify that HHH is restricted to those

    HHH is exactly as specified. Assuming otherwise is silly.

    The words "as specified" when nothing is specified are not a
    good use
    of the language.

    When DD is correctly simulated by HHH according to the behavior
    that the above machine code specifies then the call from DD
    to HHH(DD) cannot possibly return making it impossible for DD
    emulated by HHH to terminate normally.

    That code does not specify whether HHH ever returns or what value
    HHH returns if it does.


    When HHH is known to emulate the above code with an x86
    emulator THEN

    Although OP says that HHH simulates it does not specify what is
    simulated.


    the above code
    the above code
    the above code
    the above code
    the above code
    the above code



    Which isn't all of the program.


    The behavior of DD emulated by HHH only refers to DD
    and the fact that HHH emulates this DD.

    It must be your ADD that prevents you from ever staying
    focused on this one simple point.


    And who cares about DD incorrectly emulated by HHH?

    That is just your strawman.

    Obviously you are just showing that you "logic" is based on you claiming
    the right to just lie about things.

    Sorry, you are just proving your stupidity, and that you life has just
    been a FRAUD.

    I am not even sure if you really are as sick as you claim, you seem to
    have had a few too many miraculous recoveries. I can't claim you are
    lying there, because I have no proof, but it does seem strange that you
    first report a few year ago said you were surely dead by now.

    The fact that you can't handle the truth in your logic, says believing
    you on other things is hard.

    But then, that is the cost of building your life on lies, no one will
    believe you even when you do decide to tell the truth.

    When I say that DD emulated by HHH cannot terminate normally it is

    That claim is just flat out dishonest, and proves you don't understand

    DD emulated by HHH explicitly excludes directly executed DD that has a different execution trace.
    Hahaha no. HHH is *required* to simulate exactly DD and nothing else.
    I can't fathom how you can think that a simulator can just claim
    itself to be correct *instead of the real thing*. Look, I have another simulator: it always return the same value! Where do you draw the line?

    It has always been ridiculously stupid for anyone to expect HHH to
    report on any behavior besides the behavior that its finite string input specifies.
    Yeah, exactly. Why does HHH not produce the execution trace of DD?

    When you are told that this address specifies an x86 emulator then disagreement is incorrect.
    Let's naively assume it doesn't produce any side effects. Then it depends

    Is stupidly wrong.
    You only asked for the trace of DD.

    because it doesn't call DD in turn,
    we continue with 2141 until the conditional jump, whereupon we either
    enter an infinite loop (which is more than 15 instructions)
    or proceed to return (which is 13 instructions), depending on the
    return value of HHH.

    Normal termination of a C function means reaching

    Introducing the concept of aborting a program before it can reach its

    When I say that DD emulated by HHH cannot terminate
    normally it is flat out dishonest to say that I am
    wrong based on another different DD that has different behavior.


    It is flat out dishonest to suggest that I talked about another DD.
    There is only one finite string that describes DD, which has only one behaviour: it halts, as proven by direct execution.
    It HAS AN END. But HHH is unable to reach that END.

    Show the two traces and mark the first instruction that is executed differently. This has been asked for a long time. That Olcott is not

    different behaviour. The only difference is that HHH is unable to
    complete the simulation, whereas the direct execution has no problem to complete. This is a problem of HHH, not of DD.

    If we assume that HHH emulates the above machine code then there is
    NO MORE relevant information needed and we know that machine address >>>>> 0000213c of DD is followed by machine address 00002133 of DD.

    No. Relevant information includes the code at address 0x213c and
    everything it points to.
    THE ONLY FREAKING THING THAT NEED BE KNOWN ABOUT THE CODE AT THAT
    ADDRESS (TO DETERMINE THE SEQUENCE OF MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS OF DD) IS
    THAT IT EMULATES THE MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS OF DD.
    Well, it doesn't *call* D.

    From this base assumption we know that the first
    five instructions of DD are repeated three times when the first 15 instructions of DD are emulated.
    No, there is no loop. The repetition only happens in the simulation.
    There are only a single instance of HHH and DD actually running, the
    rest is just "software", if you will, just like the encoding of a
    TM on the tape of an UTM (the hardware is the state table of the UTM,
    which it has no reflective access to). The processor running HHH
    has no clue what is being simulated; as far as it is concerned, it
    is just executing HHH.

    If assuming that following the call would lead to infinite recursion
    (which is not true, because DD has been proven to halt),
    If it was true that the above instance of DD reaches its "ret"
    instruction then you could show how it does this.
    Easy. It calls a program that returns *by definition* .

    Not necessarily. A good decider would prevent infinite recursion and

    The only problem is that we then discover that HHH's return value was incorrect. This was expected, because a correct solution does not exist.

    Isw ee are told it has a x86 emulatolr, when it has just a partial
    emulator, we were told a lie, and it is correct to disagree with a lie.
    HHH isn't supposed to be an "emulator", it is supposed to be the decider
    we consider to be the correct halt decider, and thus, we know it MUST
    return an answer.

    IF HHH was actually an x86 emulator, it could not abort, and thus
    wouldn't return an answer, thus, your HHH can NOT be such a emulator,
    and your conditions are just a contradiction. To define it as an
    emulator is just a lying strawman.

    Your logic is just built on the lie of the existance of the truth fairy
    that can make impossible things happen.

    Your stupidity believes that lie, that a "partial emulator" can be a
    "correct emulator" and thus your whole world is built on your fantasies, turning you into a pathological liar, as shown by your instance that
    your HHH is two different things at once.


    100 let x = 5
    If you say that you don't believe that x = 5 then you are wrong.


    But there x is 5, the problem is that HHH is not an emulator.

    There can be no correct continuation.
    If I am wrong then a correct simulation must exist.
    HHH1 did a correct simulation, so, there it is.
    That dishonestly dodged the original question:
    What are the first 15 *lines of DD* correctly emulated by HHH?
    Look at what HHH1 does.

    [00002155] c3         ret Size in bytes:(0035) [00002155]

    Anyway: ignoring the call to HHH,
    Is stupidly wrong.
    It is not wrong, because HHH and its return value are not given in the
    instructions above.
    But if we assume that it is Olcotts's HHH that returns 0, we can
    continue with 2141 and then continue up to 2155.

    I am no longer going reply to each individual.
    I will reply to each point only once.

    That would be better than a pointless reply.

    You only asked for the trace of DD.
    Within the context of the title of this thread knucklehead.
    Huh? Makes no sense.

    because it doesn't call DD in turn,
    we continue with 2141 until the conditional jump, whereupon we either
    enter an infinite loop (which is more than 15 instructions)
    or proceed to return (which is 13 instructions), depending on the
    return value of HHH.
    There are your lines of DD.

    And you are missing the point that HHH can not correctly emulate >>>>>>>> 15 line of this DD, as it is missing information and thus the
    task is improperly defined.
    If we assume that HHH emulates the above machine code then there >>>>>>> is NO MORE relevant information needed and we know that machine >>>>>>> address 0000213c of DD is followed by machine address 00002133 of >>>>>>> DD.
    No. Relevant information includes the code at address 0x213c and
    everything it points to.
    THE ONLY FREAKING THING THAT NEED BE KNOWN ABOUT THE CODE AT THAT
    ADDRESS (TO DETERMINE THE SEQUENCE OF MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS OF DD) IS
    THAT IT EMULATES THE MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS OF DD.
    Well, it doesn't *call* D.

    From this base assumption we know that the first
    five instructions of DD are repeated three times when the first 15
    instructions of DD are emulated.
    No, there is no loop. The repetition only happens in the simulation.
    There are only a single instance of HHH and DD actually running,
    Wrong, only HHH is actually running.
    Oops, right (unless we run DD, which then calls HHH).

    HHH maps its input finite string to the behavior that THIS INPUT FINITE STRING SPECIFIES.
    And DD is a halting program.

    That you think it should map this finite string to behavior THAT IT DOES
    NOT SPECIFY has now become very stupid on your part.
    That's you.

    That ignores again the answer to the question.

    Anything besides a sequence of 15 machine addresses is a WRONG ANSWER
    You know this and DISHONESTY DODGE.

    Olcott knows that HHH1

    Does the title of this thread refer to HHH1?
    Quit screwing around I may be dead soon.
    My cancer treatment is screwing up.


    So, you adnit that you don't want to see the truth, as you claim that a
    correct simulation of the input doesn't halt, but when one is pointed
    out, you balk.

    Your problem is that you don't understand that all correct simulation of
    a given program must be identical, as programs always do what they are programmed to do (at least in deterministic programming theory, which we
    are in).

    All you are doing is showing how utterly stupid and ignorant you are,
    and that you don't care about what is "true", only what makes your
    point, because you are just a pathological liar.
