What you call the "standard halting proof" is simple, and obviously
valid. I've examined it in detail (didn't take more than a few minutes)
and it is clearly correct. You are thus mistaken. You'll note that
nobody of any intelligence on comp.theory has agreed with you on the
purported flaw.
You have spent years on this delightfully simple theorem, tying yourself
in knots with misunderstandings and falsehoods. I think part of the
reason is that you decided the halting theorem was false and looked for
ways to confuse and confound, rather than approaching it with an open
mind and accepting the brilliantly simple proof.
Your last 20 years, or so, has not been well spent.

So what ONE input (DDD) do you have that has been actually correctly
simulated for from a values of N steps?
Remember, the simulator must be simulating the INPUT, and thus to go
past the call HHH instruction, the code must be part of the input, and
the input needs to be a constant.
Termination Analyzer HHH simulates its input until
it detects a non-terminating behavior pattern. When
HHH detects such a pattern it aborts its simulation
and returns 0.
void DDD()
{
HHH(DDD);
return;
}
HHH simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
until an outer HHH recognizes the non-terminating pattern
This is the LIE that you claim works off,
If what I said was not true then you could show what N
instructions of DDD correctly simulated by HHH would be.

No. If HHH is simulating DDD then HHH can detect a call to itself being passed DDD within DDD and can assert at that point that the input is non- halting.

No. If HHH is simulating DDD then HHH can detect a call to itself being

non-

Really?
I guess you don't understand what an INSTRUCTION is.
One line of C source-code is a C statement.
HHH simulates six statements of DDD.
Note, "C" doesn't define "instructions", but operations as defined by
the abstract machine.
The operations defined in DDD:
Fetch the value of DDD
Pass that as a parameter to HHH
Call the funciton HHH,
Perform the operations of function HHH
Return
At the machine language level HHH correctly
simulated four x86 instructions of DDD six times.
_DDD()
[00002192] 55 push ebp
[00002193] 8bec mov ebp,esp
[00002195] 6892210000 push 00002192 // push DDD
[0000219a] e833f4ffff call 000015d2 // call HHH
[0000219f] 83c404 add esp,+04
[000021a2] 5d pop ebp
[000021a3] c3 ret
Size in bytes:(0018) [000021a3]
Note, there is no concept of the behavior of a program that doesn't
look at all of the program. Yes, statements and expressions have
behavior, but that also includes the behavior of any function they call.
The only relevant measure is whether DDD correctly
simulated by HHH can possibly reach its of "return"
instruction final halt state in any finite number N
steps of correct simulation.
Thus, the "thas simulats DDD" isn't actually a C level definition of
HHH, HHH needs to simulate to CODE of HHH, as that is what the
definition means.
Yet the only behavior being watched is the behavior
of the simulated DDD. None of the behavior of HHH
can possibly have any effect on whether or not the
simulated DDD reaches its own simulated "return"
statement final halt state.
And, if you mean simulate in the most general sense,
I have always been referring to the case where H correctly
simulates N instructions of DDD. When you kept referring
to an infinite simulation you were violating a stipulated
definition.
A correct simulation means at least one instruction was
simulated correctly. This is a stipulated definition.
A complete simulation must use the word "complete".
then since HHH doesn't complete the simulation, then its simulation
needs to show that, and be somethiing more like:
<sarcasm>
Like every young child that is asked to count by their
teacher. The teacher always means to count to infinity.
</sarcasm>
HHH simulates DDD that calls HHH,
which will conditionally simulate DDD until it figures out what it
will do, which begins by calling HHH
I only switched to the current method because it was
too difficult for most people here (that have little
actual software engineering skill) to understand.
Like Flibble and my code from 2022 said, it is correct to
reject DDD as non-halting as soon as its simulated DDD
calls itself with DDD.
See line 795 // code from 2022 https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
which will conditionally simulate DDD until it figures out what it
will do, which begins by calling HHH
which will conditionally simulate DDD until it figures out what it
will do, which begins by calling HHH
Note, that if HHH ever decides to abort (as you claim it will) then so
will every one of those conditional simulations, and thus show that
the correct simulation of those inputs will also halt.
No it never shows this merely proves your lack
of sufficient technical skill.
If you have sufficient technical skill you could
prove your point with my code.
Your problem is you just lie to yourself about what HHH actually is,
and thus what a simulation of it will do.
HHH *is* are correct simulating termination analyzer
for every element in its domain.
Sorry, you are just demonstrating that you just don't understand whatIf that was true and not mere empty rhetoric entirely
you are talking about, but you just like to lie.
bereft of any supporting reasoning then you could
totally prove your whole point with correct analysis
of my code. Mike knows my code the best yet still not
completely.

DDD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly reach

No one made any attempt at rebuttal by showing how DDD
correctly simulated by HHH does reach its simulated
"return" instruction final halt state in a whole year.
You say that I am wrong yet cannot show how I am

I have shown enough for readers who can read.
No one has ever provided anything besides counter-factual

So what ONE input (DDD) do you have that has been actually
correctly simulated for from a values of N steps?
Remember, the simulator must be simulating the INPUT, and thus >>>>>>>> to go past the call HHH instruction, the code must be part of
the input, and the input needs to be a constant.
I guess you are just admitting that my point was correct, because
you didn't try to answer it.
The is *NO* input "DDD" that has been simulated
Termination Analyzer HHH simulates its input until
it detects a non-terminating behavior pattern. When
HHH detects such a pattern it aborts its simulation
and returns 0.
void DDD()
{
HHH(DDD);
return;
}
HHH simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
Which only happens if HHH is the HHH that never aborts,
a single clue how C works. The above example
is HHH simulating SIX instructions of DDD.
Really?
I guess you don't understand what an INSTRUCTION is.
One line of C source-code is a C statement.
HHH simulates six statements of DDD.
No it doesn't, as that line of C refers to HHH, and to process that
line, you need to process ALL the lines in HHH.
Yes this is true.
What the F did you think that I meant by:
HHH simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH...
You are just showing you don't understand the basics of how computers
and programs work.
Note, "C" doesn't define "instructions", but operations as defined
by the abstract machine.
The operations defined in DDD:
Fetch the value of DDD
Pass that as a parameter to HHH
Call the funciton HHH,
Perform the operations of function HHH
Return
At the machine language level HHH correctly
simulated four x86 instructions of DDD six times.
Nope, doesn't simulate the CALL instruction.
Yes it does.

No. If HHH is simulating DDD then HHH can detect a call to itself
being passed DDD within DDD and can assert at that point that the
input is non-
halting.
/Flibble
And thus isn't simu;ating THE INPUT, and that the input isn't a
PROGRAM.
Also, what if DDD is using a copy of HHH, as per the proof program,
which might have variations in the code.
Sorry, just shows you don't understand the problem.
No. A simulator does not have to run a simulation to completion if it
can determine that the input, A PROGRAM, never halts.
/Flibble
Right, but the program of the input DOES halt.
PO just works off the lie that a correct simulation of the input is
different than the direct execution, even though he can't show the instruction actually correctly simulated where they differ, and thus
proves he is lying.
The closest he comes is claiming that the simulation of the "Call HHH"
must be different when simulated then when executed, as for "some
reason" it must be just because otherwise HHH can't do the simulation.
Sorry, not being able to do something doesn't mean you get to redefine
it,
You ar4e just showing you are as stupid as he is.

The directly executed DDD() *IS NOT AN INPUT*
Directly executed Turing machines have always been
outside of the domain of any function computed by
a Turing machine therefore directly executed Turing
machines have never contradicted the decision of
any halt decider.
Halt deciders compute the mapping from the behavior
that their finite string inputs actually specifies.
The input is a pointer to a 'finite string' that includes the code of
DDD and all functions called by it, in particular including the code
to abort and halt.
*I keep correcting you on this and you keep ignoring my correction*
The measure is DDD simulated by HHH reaching its simulated "return"
statement final halt state. HHH continues to simulated DDD as a
pure simulator (that also simulates itself simulating DDD) until
HHH sees the non-terminating pattern.
Therefore, even a beginner can see that this input specifies a halting
program. That your HHH cannot see that, does not change the
specification.
Five chatbots all agree that the input to HHH(DDD) specifies
non-terminating recursive emulation even though DDD() halts.
Your attempt to distract from the specification with many irrelevant
words about direct execution that is not the input, does not change
the fact that the input specifies a halting program according to the
semantics of the x86 language. Exactly the same input, when given to
world-class simulators and direct execution show halting behaviour,
which supports this claim.
I have worked with many different simulators. The first thing that is
learned is that the goal of a simulation is to reproduce the
properties of reality. If it fails to reproduce relevant properties of
reality, it is a worthless and incorrect simulator. Your simulator is
meant to simulate the execution of x86 code. If that simulation has
completely different results from reality, than even beginners will
understand that the simulation is incorrect and worthless. Using such
a simulation as a measure for the halting behaviour of the program
specified in the input is ridiculous.

Then you are lying about having followed the proof.
Because TM's only take finite string inputs
and no directly executed TM is a finite string
no TM's take directly executed TMs as inputs.
Directly executed Turing machines have always been
outside of the domain of any function computed by
a Turing machine therefore directly executed Turing
machines have never contradicted the decision of
any halt decider.
Nope, which shows your stupidity.
By that logic, Simple mathematics is outside the domain of any
function computed by a Turing Machine, as numbers themselves are not
finite strings, just representable by them.
Your failure to rebute this just proves that you have no idea what you
are talking about.
How do Turing Machines do math via representations, but can't handle
programs via representations.
Your comments about the "vagueness" of representations just shows that
the issue isn't actually in the representations, but your own
understand of it, becuase you just don't understand the concepts.
Halt deciders compute the mapping from the behavior
that their finite string inputs actually specifies.
Right, which specify a representation of a program, and thus the
mapping needed is derived from the behavior of that program.

YOu said HHH simulated DDD until it recognizes a non-halting pattern.
You have omitted this in your "loop"
Recursive emulation is not a loop.
It should be:
HHH simulated DDD that calls HHH, until it recognizes a non-halting
pattern,
Which results in it simulating HHH simulating DDD until it recognizes
a non-halting pattern...
Which results in it simulating HHH simulating DDD until it recognizes

It is more precisely accurate the way that you
did it yet too confusing to get the gist of the
idea of recursive emulation.
The problem is when you include that we KNOW that, since the outer HHH
*WILL* at some point abort (since you assume that will happen) that
this simulated HHH will also do that, and thus make the DDD that
called it halting.
If you are going to call impossibly reaching its final halt state
halting you might as well call it also makes you breakfast in bed.
Your problem is you didn't CORRECTLY simulate the HHH that DDD calls,
as you ERRONEOUSLY assumed that it will not halt in order to claim
that you have a non-halting pattern.
When N x86 instructions of DDD are simulated
according to the semantics of the x86 language
then N N x86 instructions of DDD are simulated
correctly. This includes HHH simulating itself
simulating DDD at least once.
I don't understand why this is so difficult for
you unless you grossly exaggerated your competence
at programming.
THe problem is whatever criteria is used to abort, is part of the code
that is being analyized, and thus you need to take that into account
when you try to prove that the pattern is non-halting.
Repeat this to yourself 500 times so that you will
remember it by the time you make your next reply.

As I said, that isn't a simulation of HHH, as that isn't what HHH
doess, because it LIES about the fact that HHH, as you have defined
it, *WILL* abort and return 0, and thus every DDD will halt.
All you are doing is proving that you don't understand what you are
talkinga about, and just refuse to look at the facts, because you are
just a pathological liar that has been brainwashed by yourself into
unconditionaly believing your own lies.
