    NO CORRECT ANSWER THUS INCORRECT QUESTION

    By saying "halt decider H" you're assuming that an H exist that
    reports if X(Y) halts when executed directly for all X and Y.


    Likewise when we assume a True(X) predicate where X = "What time is it?"

    Invalid change of subject.  This will be taken as agreement.


    It is the title of the post.

    Determining the Boolean value of "What time it is?"
    and determining the correct Boolean value for H to return
    are the same in that both Boolean values are incorrect.

    When-so-ever both Boolean values are the wrong
    answer to a Boolean question the question itself
    is incorrect and must be rejected as erroneous.

    Calling any such question or decision problem
    instance any kind of undecidable is flat out dishonest.

    The kind of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak
    prevents a True(X) predicate that could otherwise
    eviscerate Nazi lies the moment that are spoken.


    But the ACTUAL question of the problem has a correct answer, just not
    the one that the decider gives, so it is just incorrect.

    The fact that we can show that for every possible attempt at a decider,
    that there is an instance of the problem that it will get wrong, shows
    that the problem is undecidable.

    Note, EVERY instance has a correct answer, just no one attempted decider
    gives them all.

    Your problem is that a given decider can't give both possible answers
    for a given input, as the one answer it gives is fixed by the code of
    the decider, and it is a DIFFERENT decider that gives that other answer,
    and the answer it gives will be correct for the actual input you gave to
    the first decider, because the input was fixed and didn't change.

    Your problem is you lie to yourself that you can make a non-program that
    you call your decider, that takes a non-program you call as your input,
    and LIE to say it is the equivalent of the actual program decider given
    an actual program input.

    Your decider fails to be a program, as it looks at things not part of
    the input to make its decision, as you have made it clear that the input
    does NOT include the actual code of the decider as part of itself.

    And this makes your input not a program, as it doesn't include all of
    its code.

    You need to exclude the code for the decider as part of the input, as
    that make it clear where the fraud is, as you change that code when you
    give the input to the other decider.

    Sorry, all you are doing is proving that you works is based on FRAUD,
    and that you are so stupid you believe your own lies.

    You are so stupid, you don't understand the error of not following the
    rules of the system.

    WHat is dishonest about it?

    Remember, YOU are the one that has admitted that you whole work is a
    FRAUD based on changing the defintion of core terms of art.'

    If a system is missing the ability to do something considered important
    for a system, what is dishonest about saying that such a system is
    incomplete.

    Do you think it isn't important that systems can prove what it true in themselves?

    I guess by that same logic, the inability for a given statement to
    possible be true whold make the decleration of it as a false statement dishonest.

    All you are doing is proving you don't understand how logic works.

    The inability to do the logically impossible is dishonestly referred
    to as undecidability.

    If your whole argument boils down to "it must be wrong because I don't
    like the name", you have less than no argument.

    We can define a correct True(X) predicate that always succeeds except
    for unknowns and untruths, Tarski WAS WRONG !!!
    That does not disprove Tarski.

    NO CORRECT ANSWER THUS INCORRECT QUESTION

    By saying "halt decider H" you're assuming that an H exist that
    reports if X(Y) halts when executed directly for all X and Y.

    Likewise when we assume a True(X) predicate where X = "What time is
    it?"

    Invalid change of subject.  This will be taken as agreement.

    It is the title of the post.
    Determining the Boolean value of "What time it is?"
    and determining the correct Boolean value for H to return are the same
    in that both Boolean values are incorrect.
    When-so-ever both Boolean values are the wrong answer to a Boolean
    question the question itself is incorrect and must be rejected as
    erroneous.
    "Does it halt?" is however a very sensible question. (Of course it
    presupposes the existence of a decider.)


    *This is the details of the architecture of my system*

    <Accurate Paraphrase>
    If emulating termination analyzer H emulates its input
    finite string D of x86 machine language instructions
    according to the semantics of the x86 programming language
    until H correctly determines that this emulated D cannot
    possibly reach its own "ret" instruction in any finite
    number of correctly emulated steps then

    H can abort its emulation of input D and correctly report
    that D specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
    </Accurate Paraphrase>



    SInce your "Accurate Paraphrase" isn't that, as it make catergory
    errors, your conclusion is just incorrect.

    The problem is that it is IMPOSSIBLE for your H to determine that the
    correct emulation of D cannot possibly reach its own return instruction,
    since it has been shown that it will, just no within the PARTIAL
    emulation done by H.

    It doesn't matter that H aborts its emulation, and thus admit its work
    doesn't full conform to the x86 programming language (unless of course,
    it emulated a HCF instruction, that is the Halt and Catch Fire op code)
    as the x86 programming language says that every instruction *WILL* be
    followed by the appropriate instruction as defined by the language.

    Since the correct emulation of ANY D that calls an H that aborts and
    returns 0, is to halt, it is impossible for that H to have correctly
    determined that it didn't.

    Your argument is based on looking at a DIFFERENT D, that calls a DIFFENT
    H, and thus is based on a LIE. Either your D isn't a program that
    includes all its code, and thus your whole problem is a category error,
    or you are lying about what code H is seeing.

    But only PROGRAMS have halting behavior, so you are starting with a
    category error.

    And, if the simulating / emulating termination analyzer does abort, its
    partial simulation/emulation doesn't define the answer, but only the
    results of giving that same input, which include ALL its code, and thus
    the code of the decider it is calling, so that doesn't change when we
    give the input to the true emulator, and since when H does abort and
    return 0, the correct emulation of that same input halts, H is just
    wrong, and you lies to try to say it is right are just your FRAUD.

    I hate to take issue with you because you are so clearly on the

    C is Turing-complete. Anything a Turing machine program can do

    to talk about the behaviour of C functions:

    void ihalt(void)
    {

    void idont(void)
    {

    return;
    }

    The behaviour of this code could in principle be understood by a
    program that reads the source code and works out what it's
    supposed to be doing. (We call such programs 'compilers'.)

    Compilers are not deciders, of course, but it would not be beyond
    the wit of some compilers to report "ihalt function returns
    without doing anything" or "idont function has unreachable code
    'return'", and it would certainly be possible in C to write a
    decider for C code. It could not be 100% accurate because Turing,
    but a lower target could certainly be met.

    He said that this is impossible and no

    In addition saying so he proved so.

    If there were a known counter example one could suspect that either
    Tarski's proof be erroneous or the "knnowledge that there is a counter
    example be false; but there is the third possibility that logic as we

    Whether you are wrong is not something anyone (other than you) should

    Right, but even the C language says that a system needs to at
    least issue a diagnostic, and establishes NO definition of
    behavior, if the C function D calls another C function H, but no
    definition of H has been provided.

    Yes, of course. Without the whole program (however expressed),
    the decider cannot decide.

    Indeed, the absence of the program in its entirety forces the
    decider to admit that it cannot decide, so QED.

    Olcott's problem is that he wants to provide it as a "variable"
    to D, without admitting that he is doing that, and thus H is
    actually part of the "input" to the function. This makes is D not
    actually a correct program even by the definition of the C language.

    I think we both know that he's not listening.

    Reading? Possibly. But listening? Clearly not.

    }

    The behaviour of this code could in principle be understood by a program
    that reads the source code and works out what it's supposed to be doing.
    (We call such programs 'compilers'.)

    Compilers are not deciders, of course, but it would not be beyond the
    wit of some compilers to report "ihalt function returns without doing anything" or "idont function has unreachable code 'return'", and it
    would certainly be possible in C to write a decider for C code. It could
    not be 100% accurate because Turing, but a lower target could certainly
    be met.


    Right, but even the C language says that a system needs to at least
    issue a diagnostic, and establishes NO definition of behavior, if the C function D calls another C function H, but no definition of H has been provided.

    Olcott's problem is that he wants to provide it as a "variable" to D,
    without admitting that he is doing that, and thus H is actually part of
    the "input" to the function. This makes is D not actually a correct
    program even by the definition of the C language.

    There is no counter-example in the set of human general

    True(X) does not work correctly...

    Sure there is, at least if you consider Human General Knowledge to
    provide the properties of the Natural Numbers.

    Tarski shows how to build such a statement given the properties of the
    Natural Numbers, you just skip that part of the proof, as you can't
    understand it.



    When True(X) only returns TRUE for contiguous sequences
    of truth preserving operations on the basis of basic
    facts expressed in formalized natural language then
    True(X) consistently works correctly for the entire
    set of general human knowledge that can be expressed
    using language.

    And thus gets Tarski's x wrong, which was an expression derivable from
    that human knowledge.


    Try and find such a counter-example in the set of
    human general knowledge.

    Tarski's x, not the metalanguage simplification, but the original x in
    the language.


    That election fraud changed the outcome of the 2020
    presidential election can be proved baseless on the
    basis of the set of human knowledge that can be expressed
    using language.

    Nope. Your just don't understand the nature of emperical knowledge.

    You can not actually logically PROVE that sufficient (undetected) fraud couldn't have happened beyond all possibility. We can show that to do so
    would have required an unbelivable process to implement, and thus we say
    it "couldn't happen", but that is only an expression that the probablity
    is so remote we can't imagine it happening.


    A True(X) predicate is important to prevent Nazis from
    taking over government using Nazi propaganda.


    But it actually doesn't help, and the fact that your argument for it
    just uses those same techniques just make things worse.

    Sorry, you sold your self to the devil and joined his forces in your
    attempt to fight against him, and just lost yourself.

    The truth predicate as discussed Tarski cannot be espressed as a definition
    and therefore cannot be computed. If you allow unexpressible or uncomputable predicates there may be more possibilities.

    Tarski proved that no expressible predicate is the truth predicate.

    "expressed using language" ends the long standing
    debate over whether or not analytical truth exists.

    What "debate"?


    Tarski proved that no expressible predicate is the truth predicate.


    That is stupid and denies this:
    Boolean True("cats are animals") where every unique sense
    meaning of the language has its own GUID.

    How does that deny that?

    He doesn't say you can't create a predicate that gives the answer for a
    lot, or even for most, statements.

    It just can't give the correct answer for ALL.

    You are just showing your ignorance of the foundations of logic.

    If that is true then its design violates my design principles.
    A finite set of axioms and the application of ONLY truth preserving operations to elements of this set of axioms. (A & ~A) ⊨ FALSE


    Or to be more correct, YOU design principles are not compatible with the
    ones in his theory.

    Part of your problem is you just made a statement that doesn't have
    meaning "(A & ~A) ⊨ FALSE", since the resultant of the ⊨ operator is supposed to be a logical statement, which is implicated by the logical statements before it.

    Sorry, you are just showing you don't actually understand what you are
    doing.
