    DDD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly reach

    But since you just said that HHH DOES reach its final state, it can't do
    a correct simulation, and thus you "argument" is just a LIE.

    ANY DDD built from an HHH that reaches its final state will, when
    correctly simulated or executed, also reach its final state.

    PERIOD, PROVEN.


    You are getting confused over what is being measured.
    If we were measuring whether or not HHH halts then
    you would be correct. *We are not measuring that*

    No, YOU are, as you don't understand that you have more than one DDD
    that you are talking about, or your DDD just can't be correctly simulatd.

    Since, to be a program and correctly simulatable, it must include the
    HHH that it was built to call, EVERY HHH, since your definition is that
    HHH gets the DDD built on it, gets a different HHH.

    This means that your logic that claims all DDD to be the same is a LIE,
    as that would require that all your HHH be the same, but you NEED (to
    make your argument) different HHHs.

    If HHH had a bug then someone could have pointed out the
    exact bug on the last two years that its full source has
    been available.  https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm

    void DDD()
    {
      HHH(DDD);
      return;
    }

    _DDD()
    [00002192] 55             push ebp
    [00002193] 8bec           mov ebp,esp
    [00002195] 6892210000     push 00002192
    [0000219a] e833f4ffff     call 000015d2  // call HHH
    [0000219f] 83c404         add esp,+04

    [000021a3] c3             ret
    Size in bytes:(0018) [000021a3]

    HHH cannot possibly have a bug because the x86 source
    code of DDD specifies that it cannot possibly reach its
    "ret" instruction final halt state when emulated by
    HHH according to the semantics of the x86 language.

    Really.

    Can't have a bug?

    I guess giving the wrong answer isn't a bug in your view, because you
    think lies are valid.

    Note, the x86 source code of DDD says that for *ANY* HHH that exists and returns any value for a call to HHH(DDD), then DDD will halt.

    Thus, ANY HHH that returns 0 from HHH(DDD) is wromg and has a "bug"

    It seems your brain has a bug and thinks lies are ok, because the
    definition of Halting isn't based on the partial emulation of some
    family of deciders, but only on the behavior of the direct exectuition,
    which will be copied by any CORRECT simulation/emulation of that program.

    Of course, by the meaning of the words, the "C function" DDD doesn't
    have behavior until converted into the PROGRAM DDD by pairing it with a definite version of HHH to call. Something that your buggy logic system
    doesn't handle, because you seem to have caught a self-inflcted case of terminal stupidity.



    The bug in HHH has been spelled out to you many times, but it seems
    you close your eyes and pretend that it does not exist.
    The behaviour specified in the exact same input can be analysed in
    different other ways. They all show that the analysis done by HHH is

    The conditional branch instructions in HHH cannot possibly have any
    effect whatsoever on whether or not the simulated DDD reaches its own "return" instruction final halt state.
    But of course they do. Once as part of the outermost simulator, deter-
    mining whether to abort, and once as part of DDD, determining whether
    to return.

    HHH simply simulates DDD with a pure simulator until it conclusively
    proves that its outermost simulated DDD cannot possibly reach its own simulated "return" statement final halt state. When it aborts this DDD
    all recursive emulations immediately stop.
    Right, HHH is not a pure simulator. The simulations would have halted
    if *only* the outermost HHH was pure and did not abort. *That* is what
    what Sipser's twisted-by-you words meant, not simulating a different
    DDD that calls a pure simulator. The code of DDD, including HHH, is
    fixed and "describes" a partial simulator; you can't in a program
    magically refer to "itself", you have to arrange for the explicit
    mention to fall together with its name (except in Lisp maybe).

    Another counter-factual claim.
    The bug has been presented to you many many times. The bug is that it
    forgets to count the conditional branch instructions when simulating
    itself.

    The conditional branch instructions in HHH cannot possibly have any
    effect whatsoever on whether or not the simulated DDD reaches its own
    "return" instruction final halt state.

    But of course they do. Once as part of the outermost simulator, deter-
    mining whether to abort, and once as part of DDD, determining whether
    to return.

    HHH simply simulates DDD with a pure simulator until it conclusively
    proves that its outermost simulated DDD cannot possibly reach its own
    simulated "return" statement final halt state. When it aborts this DDD
    all recursive emulations immediately stop.
    Right, HHH is not a pure simulator.

    The simulations would have halted
    if *only* the outermost HHH was pure and did not abort.

    Since you know that is impossible because
    every instance of HHH has the exact same
    machine code at the same machine address
    why bring it up?

     *That* is what
    what Sipser's twisted-by-you words meant, not simulating a different
    DDD that calls a pure simulator. The code of DDD, including HHH, is
    fixed and "describes" a partial simulator; you can't in a program
    magically refer to "itself", you have to arrange for the explicit
    mention to fall together with its name (except in Lisp maybe).

    The input to HHH(DDD) never stops running unless aborted
    is saying the same thing as DDD correctly simulated by HHH:

    HHH(DDD) simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)

    Cannot possibly reach its own simulated
    "return" statement final halt state.

    Why repeating this failure of HHH? The simulated HHH, as you yourself
    admitted a few lines above, has the same code as the simulating HHH. If
    the simulating HHH is programmed to abort after a few cycles, the input
    for the simulating HHH specifies the same aborting code. Indeed, HHH has
    a bug so that it cannot reach that part of the specification, but that
    does not change the specification, it only makes HHH blind for that part
    of the specification.
    Another effect of you strange construction is, that the input changes as
    soon as you change HHH. This makes you blind for the fact that each
    aborting HHH aborts just one cycle too soon, reporting an incorrect
    result, where the not-aborting HHH never returns to report.
    You would help yourself with a construction where the simulating HHH and
    the simulated HHH would not reside in the same memory, but where the
    simulated HHH is a copy of the simulating HHH. Then it becomes more
    evident what exactly is the behaviour of the program specified in the
    input and what is the behaviour of the simulator.

    I'll take this as accepted.

    Right, HHH is not a pure simulator.
    The simulations would have halted if *only* the outermost HHH was
    pure and did not abort.
    Since you know that is impossible because every instance of HHH has
    the exact same machine code at the same machine address why bring it

    Read below.
    *There is not good reason to begin reasoning with a lie*
    What lie?
    Simulating DDD with a pure simulator halts, which is the hypothetical
    of your pet misquote, not a pure simulator simulating DDD'(){HHH'(DDD');}.
    You think that termination analysers should change all calls to more
    TAs in the input to pure simulators.

    *That* is what
    what Sipser's twisted-by-you words meant, not simulating a different
