    Yes, you succeeded to feed the AI with your incorrect dreams and now it
    is able to reproduce the same wrong conclusions from the same incorrect
    and contradictory assumptions.
    Even a beginning C programmer understands that DD halts when HHH returns
    0. Indeed, an expert will understand it and see that it is incorrect.

    Fantastic! Good old Claude, eh?

    I will take you at your word and presume that HHH(DD) does in
    fact return 0, which means "(a) Detects a non-terminating
    behavior pattern: abort simulation and return 0." - i.e. Claude
    tells us DD doesn't halt.

    int DD()
    {
    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD); <=== assigns 0 to Halt_Status
    if (Halt_Status)
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
    }

    So far so good. Let's see what happens next.

    if (Halt_Status) <=== if(0) is false, so the if's statement on
    the next line is skipped...
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
    }

    Uh-oh; I have a bad feeling about this, but let's see what
    happens next.

    return Halt_Status; <=== DD returns, and therefore halts.

    So Claude was wrong after all.

    Want to try again? With a 1, maybe?

    But your prompt doesn't explain that there might not be an answer, and
    doesn't even define that its answer needs to be the correct answer for
    the halting problem.

    So, all Claude AI says is that 0 is the right answer for POOP, not
    Halting, and even is telling you that it isn't the correct answer for
    halting, as it says:

    even though the actual execution might terminate due to the analyzer's
    own decision to return 0.

    The problem is it has taken your false definition of "non-halting
    pattern" as not needing to indicate that the input would be non-halting,
    but meta-requirement on the design of the decider for the template, that
    if the decider doesn't contain this pattern, the decider will be
    non-halting.

    Thus, you are just showing that you think LIES and DECEIT are valid
    logic form (and thus the denies of claim change are totally correct in
    their logic)

    int DD()

      int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
      if (Halt_Status)
        HERE: goto HERE;
      return Halt_Status;
    }

    The key difference that we have now is the three LLM AI
    systems agree that DD correctly simulated by HHH

    No, you told them to ASSUME that, so they did because the only
    alternative was to call you a liar, and they don't enjoy that as
    much as you do.

    If you DON'T tell them to assume that, watch what happens: ----------------------------------------------------------

    Let’s break this down step-by-step — this code is short, but it
    has some subtleties.
    1. The typedef

    typedef void (*ptr)();

    ptr is now a type alias for "pointer to function taking no
    parameters and returning void".

    For example:

    void foo() {}
    ptr p = foo;

    2. The HHH declaration

    int HHH(ptr P);

    HHH is a function taking a ptr (function pointer) and
    returning an int.

    So, HHH will receive a pointer to a function like void
    something(void).

    3. The DD function

    int DD()
    {
    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);

    This is already suspect:

    DD has type int (void), but HHH expects a void (void)
    pointer.

    In C90, this mismatch isn’t automatically valid — you’d
    usually need a cast:

    HHH((ptr)DD);

    Without it, you’ll likely get a compiler warning.

    4. Infinite loop on Halt

    if (Halt_Status)
    HERE: goto HERE;

    If Halt_Status is non-zero, execution jumps to label HERE,
    which immediately jumps to itself forever.

    This is effectively a busy wait loop that never terminates.

    5. Return on no halt

    return Halt_Status;
    }

    If HHH returns zero, DD returns zero. ----------------------------------------------------------

    Now, you are on record as agreeing that HHH returns 0. So when
    not primed with misleading claims, the Chat AI deduces that
    according to you DD returns 0 - i.e. it returns - i.e. it halts.
    So HHH gives the wrong result.

    year by refusing to agree that HHH(DD)==0 on that basis.


    No, the gaslighting is on you, as you fail to use the correct
    definitions, and think it is ok to change the definitions, when it isn't

    This just makes you a pathological liar.>
    Since this first step of my proof must be understood
    before moving on to the next step their gaslighting was
    stonewalling.


    And since it is wrong, the rest of your proof it just trash.


    All you have done is show that you argument is sly enough to confuse the non-thinking AI.

    SInce they can make errors even with GOOD inputs, bad inputs are just
    not worth looking at, and that this is the cornerstone of your argument,
    you are just showing that you don't have anything to base you argument on.

    If DD() halts and HHH(DD) returns a result of non-halting then HHH is not
    a halt decider for DD: this just confirms that the extant Halting Problem
    proofs are correct and that you have wasted the last 22 years.

    /Flibble

    The first part of my proof requires understanding
    that the above paper is entirely correct in everything
    that it says. I can and will address your objection
    later on.


    Note, by correcting your statements to be:
    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern: abort simulation and
    return 0.
    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement: return 1.
    (c) It will continue to run until it can do one of the above
    typedef void (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);
    int DD()
    {
    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
    if (Halt_Status)
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
    }
    What value can HHH(DD) correctly return?



    This results in the answer that ends with:

    Step 4 — Can HHH return anything correctly?
    Given the spec, no — there is no correct value for HHH(DD) that matches reality:
    Return 0 → reality contradicts prediction.
    Return 1 → reality contradicts prediction.
    Continue simulating forever?
    That would mean it never detects either halting or non-halting pattern.
    But the spec says it will eventually stop if it can detect either case —
    and here, it can’t without making a wrong prediction.
    This is exactly the Halting Problem: DD is a diagonal counterexample
    that breaks the assumption that HHH can be correct on all inputs.
    ✅ Conclusion:
    There is no correct return value for HHH(DD) that satisfies the
    specification. If HHH must return either 0 or 1 and be correct, it’s impossible.


    https://chatgpt.com/share/6898dea2-9320-8007-960c-aff916985907


    Thus showing that your results are based on your LIES that say that HHH
    CAN correctly answer the question, leading the AI to make errors in its thinking.

    So, you admit that you aren't working on a Halt Decider?

    All that I need for now is agreement on HHH(DD)==0
    is correct when HHH(DD) is reporting on the behavior

    If HHH does not refute the HP, I can understand. But how would it be

    By refusing to understand that DD correctly simulated

    statement final halt state you are merely stonewalling.




    By insisting that you can talk about versions of the things that are not present, you are showing that you live in a fantasy world.

    Maybe your non-existant (in this problem) version of HHH when fully and completely simulateing the non-existant (in this problem) version of DD
    that was based on the non-existant HHH will not halt. but to try to use
    that as a justification that *THIS* DD will not halt, by trying to imply
    that *THIS* HHH correctly simulated it is just a lie.

    Your statement is based on a category error as you sentence refers to DD
    and HHH as simgular objects, but then actually refers to versions that
    are different then the ones you are actually claiming to be directly
    talking about in the rest of the argument.

    That is just LYING, and making category errors.

    Sorry, but that IS what you are doing, and showing you are so stupid you
    can't understand why people won't believe your lies.

    Four lines.

    Your simulator simulates ONE line - the call to the simulator!

    That it fails to simulate the other three quarters - the actual

    Everybody can see it except you, and you would probably see it

    You told Claude to believe that, and like a good AI he does

    I suspect if you specifically told Claude that HHH was
    supposed to be a
    halt decider and it was an attempt to refute the Halting
    Problem proofs it
    would give a different response.

    /Flibble

    That would cause it to begin with false assumptions
    as its basis.

    So does this: "Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly
    simulates its input"


    That you refuse to understand how the simulation
    is correct is your own error.

    You have yet to show that it is.

    He has already admitted that it isn't, by acknowledging that the
    result differs from direct execution.

    "Dishonest" appears to be your go-to word when you can't find a
    good counter-argument - which happens a /lot/.

    HHH creates a separate process context and then
    simulates DD in this process context. When this DD
    calls HHH(DD) the first HHH emulates and instance of
    itself in the DD process context.

    So what HHH is really simulating is itself.

    HHH creates a separate process context and then

    calls HHH(DD) the first HHH emulates and instance of
    itself in the DD process context. This emulated HHH
    instance creates a new process context to emulate
    its instance of DD. This DD calls HHH(DD).

    And the behaior of the process it creates is not dependent on HHH's
    simulaiton of it, but of the undisturbed behavior of it.


    https://claude.ai/share/da9e56ba-f4e9-45ee-9f2c-dc5ffe10f00c
    Figured out all on its own that HHH(DD)==0 is correct because
    it figured out all on its own that the input to HHH(DD)
    specifies: the *recursive simulation non-halting behavior pattern*



    Only because you gave it misleading information.

    Note, even so, it says:

    even though the actual execution might terminate due to the analyzer's
    own decision to return 0.

    So, Claude tells you the program the input represents, which must have
    been the semantic meaning of the input (or you lied) is to halt, and
    thus, your HHH isn't correct as a Halt Decider, or a correct Termination Analyzer.

    Note, by using the phrase "Termination Analyser" which isn't the normal
    term used for this problem you remove a lot of data from the AI's tool
    box. By implying that HHH WILL answer, you bias it further.

    So, it concluded apparently that this machine isn't to be held to the
    standards of a Halt Decider.

    Note, a possible interpretation is that your "Simulaiton Termination
    Analyser" is a diffferent category of machines, one that doesn't look at programs, but referential templates, and that it can correctly determine
    that the STA won't halt unless it detects this pattern.

    So, all you are doing is proving you are in the midst of a gigantic
    category error.

    The simulation of DD by HHH is proven to be correct

    No, it is proven to be INCORRECT, as it is aborted, and thus the last instruction failed to include the last step of that instruction, which
    is always (unless a final instruction) to execute the next instruciton
    in execution sequence.


    Everything else that anyone ever said about this
    has always been incorrect. Just for you not for
    anyone else anything that I said prior to this reply
    to you is deprecated.


    Since you have been shown to lie, and you just fail to even try to
    defined you lies except by repeating other disproven statements, you are
    just admitting you have no truth behind your statements, and you are
    just an admitted liar.

    You have even come out point blank and admitted (in other words) to
    lying, because you admit many of the things you talk about don't meet
    the basic requirements of them in the theory, and go so far as to claim
    you don't need to follow the rules, which is just an admission that you
    don't know the rules, and don't care.

    So, you are just a proven pathological liar that doesn't know what he is talking about, and just doesn't care.

    No, it doesn't "change" behavior, as you talk about different programs,

    int main();

    int main()
    {

    Which isn't the same DDD, so irrelvent, except to show that you don't understand that different is different and not the same.

    But then your whole logic system is built on volatile definitions that
    change at your whim, so nothing is actually defined, so nothing has
    meaning, and thus everything you say is just meaningless nonsense, as no
    one can know which meaning you mean.

    Sorry, you are just killing everything you might have done or will do.

    To qualify as an emulator, it has to emulate. It doesn't.

    int main()

    I have already fully addressed this and you
    already responded. Why lie?

    HHH creates a separate process context and then
    emulates DD in this process context. When this DD
    calls HHH(DD) the first HHH emulates and instance of
    itself in the DD process context. This emulated HHH
    instance creates a new process context to emulate
    its instance of DD. This DD calls HHH(DD).


    No, HHH doesn't do ANY of those, it calls system functions in x86utm to
    do them.

    And, x86utm makes it clear that those operations aren't part of the code
    of HHH, as when it simulates HHH, it doesn't trace any of the code
    beyond showing a system call.

    And, HHH doesn't even to a "simulaiton", as it does a debug-single step,
    as the program it is looking at needs to be a "native" program for the environment that HHH is running in.

    Debug-stepping isn't emulation, so you are just using the wrong term.

    In fact, in the execution environment of x86utm, the processes being
    created don't need a "simulator" in HHH, as x86utm is providing a
    virtual machine, so that as far as any of the programs inside it, they
    are just running on a x86 processor, so that subprocess that HHH creates
    has a fully define behavior, it just needs to tell x86utm to let it run
    in that seperate process space,

    So, all you are doing is show how sloppy you are with the words you even
    use half-way right.

    While the input to HHH is simulated, it isn't simulated by HHH, it is
    simulated by x86utm, and allows HHH to see the steps.

    HHH can get no credit for performing that simulation.

    On the contrary, it's an editorial decision to be made in the

    essentially crooked about it. If you have a specific example in

    But I don't think you understand the word 'dishonest', because
    you use it in all manner of bizarre ways in odd contexts. I think
    it's a weasel word you throw out when you have no other way of
    arguing against a point that makes it perfectly plain that you're

    I have been trying to get to the next step of the proof that addresses
    your issue for three years and everyone makes sure to stonewall its
    mandatory prerequisite:

    When the measure of the behavior of the input to HHH(DD)
    is DD correctly simulated by HHH then HHH(DD)==0 is correct.

    The problem is that it cannot be separated out into a previous and "next
    step" as the behaviour of DD() and HHH(DD) are intertwined so have to be addressed at the same time. Saying the previous step "is correct" begs
    the question (a logical fallacy).

    I will pay very close attention to any actual attempts
    to prove me wrong.

    Change of heart? Okay, let's test your willingness to engage in
    good faith.

    The closest attempt to prove me wrong
    is the fact that HHH(DD)==0 and the directly executed
    DD() disagree.

    Actually, I think not. It's inconvenient and embarrassing,
    undoubtedly, but that's all. If you care enough you can track
    down the cause and fix it up, and we can all forgive and forget.

    But that doesn't solve your basic problem, which is that DD is
    characterised by the twist in its tail, but HHH doesn't ever get
    that far. Clearly I'm no expert on HHH, but as I understand it it
    just single-steps through DD while keeping an eye out for
    loop-like behaviour. If that is all it does, then the first thing
    it encounters is the call to HHH, and in it recurses... and
    again... and again... and it never ever reaches the interesting
    code in DD.

    You continually claim that HHH is correctly simulating DD, but
    this is rather like claiming that you're correctly exploring
    Europe without ever getting south of Denmark.

    The heart of DD remains untouched by HHH, and what HHH decides by
    watching itself recurse really isn't terribly interesting. What
    matters, for DD, is what happens after HHH finally calls a halt,
    unwinds the stack, and send a result back to DD.

    This is the part of the story that, as far as I can tell, you
    have never even attempted to address, and it has absolutely
    nothing to do with emulation.

    No, I responded directly to that by asking the AI a follow-up question
    and you just repeated your claim, proving that you agreed with the
    AI's follow up response.


    If it was a follow up question to the exact same
    review that would have been OK. It looked like
    an entirely different review that started with
    a wrong basis.

    The review that I posted did not have a complete
    understanding. To attain a complete understanding
    takes 15 pages.

    The review that I posted only confirms the simple
    fact that everyone has gaslighted me on for three
    years:

    When the measure of the behavior of the input to
    HHH(DD) is DD correctly simulated by HHH then
    HHH(DD)==0 is correct.


    And, if that *IS* the criteria, your HHH doesn't do it, so it isn't
    applicable.

    It is a DIFFERENT thing called (deceptively) HHH, as you admit, that
    does that correct simulation, as you here are talking about the HHH that
    gives the answer being correct, and it was given a DIFFERENT DD, as it
    was built to call that other HHH, not the one you have here, as this one is.

    Or, your HHH just isn't a program, and thus isn't a decider, and thus is
    a category error.

    Or, you are claiming that since your 3rd cousin twice removed, also
    named Peter Olcott, got a real degree in computer science, you qualify
    as an expert.

    LYING by deceptive names doesn't make a proof.

    the record:


    If either you misunderstood me or I made some mistake
    in the past it remains true that Claude AI, ChatGPT
    and Grok all provide the correct answer to this question:

    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern: abort simulation and
    return 0.
    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement: return 1.

    typedef int (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    int DD()
    {
      int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
      if (Halt_Status)
        HERE: goto HERE;
      return Halt_Status;
    }

    What value should HHH(DD) correctly return?



    Which is just a wrong and misleading question as the wording implies
    that HHH *WILL* either detect the pattern in (a) or reach the final
    state in (b), and has a correct answer to give.

    As I showed by cleaning up these two errors, ChatGPT identified that HHH
    had no correct answer it could give.

    I added a case (c) that if it hasn't seen a non-halting pattern it will continue until if finds a final state, and change the final question to
    what value COULD HHH(DD) correctly return.


    All you are doing is showing your skill at crafting good lies.

    Maybe you need to break down your terms into fully defined terms, with
    sources for those definitions.

    And be willing to break down into more details when imprecision is
    pointed out.

    And, be willng to admit you are lying when the errors between your
    definitions, and the definitions that are pre-defined in the system you
    are trying to argue about.

    Don't forget some simple things like what is a program, or a decider, or
    a halt decider, what is correct simulation, what is halting and
    non-halting (and what they are properties of).


    This is a big part of your problem, you just don't know what you are
    talking about, and since you just wiped the slate, all you old sloppy definitions have been erased by your deprecation, so need to be done
    again, and we can get you to clarify where you are trying to wiggle.

    HHH(DD) should correctly return whatever DD() does. You have failed.

    Changing the words as the basis for rebuttal is known

    Which you have done, so you are admitting that as far as the halting
    problem, it is YOU that has the strawman error.


    When the measure of the behavior of the input to HHH(DD)
    is DD correctly simulated by HHH then HHH(DD)==0 is correct.


    But since that HHH doesn't do that, it can't be used.

    All you are doing is demonstrationg that you logic is based on LYING
    that two DIFFERENT machines given two DIFFERENT inputs some how are the
    same so you can use one to determine the other.

    That or you are just in a massive category error by lying that you
    "things" are programs as required by Computability theory.

    Sorry, you just proved how much of a stupid liar you are.

    My prior reply may be incorrect. I always read and then

    When the measure of the behavior of the input to HHH(DD)
    is DD correctly simulated by HHH then HHH(DD)==0 is correct.

    When you fully understand that this is correct thenn
    (then and only then) we can move on to the issue of
    the directly executed DD().


    And since it deesn't apply here, you have nothing excpet having shown
    that you are trying to lie by deceptive naming.

    In a given set of logic, named programs need to be consistant in
    defintion, that is why you see a lot of subscripts are other marks on
    related names.

    The HHH that is giving the answer is NOT the same HHH that you are
    thinking of as doing a correct simulation, and the input DD for the two
    are also different.

    THus, the claim is just an attempt at duplicity, a lie by trying to
    confuse two different things to be thought of as the same.

    Note, HHH can't BE a infinite set of deciders, as that isn't something
    that makes *A* decision, and you can't make the "pathological program"
    from a set of deciders.

    You can make an infinite set of pathological programs, each paired
    one-to-one with your infinte set of deciders, but then you also have to evaluate each on on their own, and since the inputs are different, they
    don't relate to one-antoher.

    Sorry, you are just proving how broken your logic is.

    takes 15 pages.

    The review that I posted only confirms the simple
    fact that everyone has gaslighted me on for three
    years:

    When the measure of the behavior of the input to
    HHH(DD) is DD correctly simulated by HHH


    Which it can't be because that doesn't happen, as you have admitted
    on the record:

    }

    What value should HHH(DD) correctly return?



    But if you ask it the following clarifying question:


    Doesn't this assume that a correct answer can be returned?



    It did not give this conversation any deep understanding
    because that takes too many pages and is overwhelming.

    When the measure of the behavior of the input to HHH(DD)
    is DD correctly simulated by HHH then HHH(DD)==0 is correct.

    That people have been consistently gaslighting me on this
    for three years is their willful deception on not my mistake.


    But since this HHH doesn't do that, all you are doing is admitting to
    lying by conflating different things by giving them the same name, or
    you are just in a massive category error as you aren't talking about the
    things that computability theory talks about, perhaps becuase you just
    don't undetstand it, because you are just that stupid.

    is correct and you erased this technical basis.

    But since your HHH doean't do that, it is irrelevent.

    That you try to claim that because HHH'(DD') does a correct simulaiton
    of DD' and shows it to be non-halting, means that HHH(DD) can correctly
    call its input non-halting just shows how little you understand logic or
    care about truth.


    HHH creates a separate process context and then
    emulates DD in this process context. When this DD
    calls HHH(DD) the first HHH emulates and instance of
    itself in the DD process context. This emulated HHH
    instance creates a new process context to emulate
    its instance of DD. This DD calls HHH(DD).

    And the behavior of that seperate process is the CORRECT operation of
    that process, not the aborted one that HHH sees.

    That CORRECT operation will see that its HHH (which is just like your
    first one) will also abort its tracing of its subprocess and return 0 to
    that DD so it will halt.


    This code proves that technical basis is correct https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
    It is not my fault that you lack the technical capacity
    to understand that.

    No, it proves you to lie.

    First, your HHH isn't the needed pure function.

    Second, your HHH doesn't do a correct simulation, since it aborts its debug-step process.

    In fact, HHH doesn't actually do an emulation at all, it runs the
    sub-process under a single step mode, looking at the result after each step.

    The emulation is done by the system that HHH runs under, not by HHH.


    It is your fault for asserting that my code is incorrect
    on the basis of your own lack of technical ability. https://dictionary.justia.com/reckless-disregard-of-the-truth



    All you are doing is showing that *YOU* are committing that reckless
    disregard for the truth, as you don't even attempt to answer the errors
    pointed out in your statements, all you can do is repeat the same
    statements over as if they must be true.

    That is the sign of a pathological liar, what is actually true doesn't
    matter to you, only what you think is true, and even if you can't show
    it, it must be true, and that causes you to ignore the actual truth.

    Yes, because you tell them that it is. What's a bot to do? It's

    Yes. When I (neutrally) propose the assumption that HHH(DD) works
    correctly, ChatGPT reports that the assumption is false.

    ChatGPT 5.0 is a little dumber than 4.0 so it needs
    to be coached.

    Yes, you have to tell it the right lies, lest it unwittingly
    stumble upon the truth.


    Let's try sticking wholly to the truth. I gave ChatGPT the text
    between the +----+ markers, and what follows is its unedited reply.

    +---------------------------------------------------------+
    I am testing the assumption that simulating termination analyzer
    HHH correctly simulates its input until it:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern: abort simulation
    and return 0.
    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement:
    return 1.

    typedef int (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    int DD()
    {
    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
    if (Halt_Status)
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
    }

    What value should HHH(DD) correctly return?
    What does that tell me about my assumption? +---------------------------------------------------------+


    Great question! Let’s analyze this carefully.
    Code summary:

    typedef int (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    int DD()
    {
    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
    if (Halt_Status)
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
    }

    You call HHH(DD). Inside DD, you call HHH passing DD itself
    (recursion by function pointer).

    Then:

    HHH simulates running DD.

    If HHH decides DD terminates, it returns 1.

    If HHH detects DD never terminates, it returns 0.

    What does DD do?

    It calls HHH(DD) to get Halt_Status.

    If Halt_Status is true (1), it jumps into an infinite loop
    (goto HERE).

    Otherwise, it returns Halt_Status.

    What should HHH(DD) return?

    Suppose HHH(DD) == 1 (predicts that DD halts):

    Then inside DD, Halt_Status is 1, so DD enters an
    infinite loop (goto HERE).

    Hence, DD does not terminate in reality.

    So HHH was wrong — it predicted halting but DD runs forever.

    Suppose HHH(DD) == 0 (predicts that DD does not halt):

    Then inside DD, Halt_Status is 0, so the if condition
    fails, and DD returns 0 immediately.

    So DD terminates by returning 0.

    So HHH was wrong — it predicted non-halting but DD
    actually halts.

    Conclusion:

    If HHH predicts halting (returns 1), DD loops forever —
    prediction wrong.

    If HHH predicts non-halting (returns 0), DD returns
    immediately — prediction wrong.

    Therefore, HHH(DD) cannot correctly predict whether DD halts or not.
    What does this say about your assumption?

    Your assumption was that HHH correctly simulates its input
    function until:

    (a) it detects non-termination → return 0, or

    (b) input function returns → return 1.

    This is essentially an implementation of a halting oracle that
    can decide if any program halts.

    But your example DD creates a paradox similar to the classic
    Halting Problem proof:

    DD’s behavior depends on what HHH returns about DD.

    HHH cannot consistently predict DD’s halting behavior
    without contradiction.

    In other words:

    No function like HHH can exist that correctly solves the
    Halting Problem for all inputs.

    Your assumption that such a simulation-based termination
    analyzer always correctly returns 0 or 1 is false.

    Your example is a classical self-reference paradox proving
    the undecidability of the halting problem.

    If you want, I can help formalize this or provide a more detailed
    explanation. But the short answer:

    HHH(DD) cannot return a correct halt status (0 or 1) without
    contradiction. Hence your assumption fails.

    Even a beginning C programmer understands that DD halts when HHH

    /Flibble

    That would cause it to begin with false assumptions
    as its basis.

    So does this: "Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly
    simulates its input"


    That you refuse to understand how the simulation
    is correct

    You mean the one that you admitted on the record is NOT correct?



    The simulation of DD by HHH is proven to be correct
    on the basis of the emulation of DD by HHH according
    to the definition of the x86 language.

    Everything else that anyone ever said about this
    has always been incorrect. Just for you not for
    anyone else anything that I said prior to this reply
    to you is deprecated.

    So in other words, because you prior admission was made by failing to
    show where in the Intel instruction manual the execution of any
    instruction other than HLT is allowed to stop instead of executing the
    next instruction, you're stating that you're now going to show us
    where that is.

    Failing to do so in your next reply or within one hour of your next
    post in this newsgroup means your admission stands.


    *No that is merely you dishonestly ignoring the specification*

    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern: abort simulation and
    return 0.

    Incorrect. It must be:
    (a) Sees a finite recursion and fails to see that it is finite, because
    it does not take into account the conditional branch instructions. It
    makes the wrong conclusion that there is non-termination behaviour and prematurely aborts the simulation.

    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement: return 1.

    Yes, but how do we solve the basic logic problem:

    Q2: Jack is a bachelor. Does Jack hit his wife?
    Q1,Q2 are essentially the same as the halting decider. E.g. we can

    int H5(Problem D5);  // H5(D5)==1 iff Problem D5 is true
    What should H5(Q1) return?

    The ultimate test for a Boolean True(Language L, Expression e)

    I have difficulty to follow. Would you use Q1,Q2 to explain?
    What should H5(Q1) return? And why?

    Both would be ~True.
    Questions don't have truth values.

    It works the same way that Prolog works.
    ~Provable(L,x) means untrue(L,x)

    The only way that systems have been shown to be incomplete is
    incorrectly assuming that a non-truth bearer expression must be true or false.
    I mean, if a sentence is not true, its negation must be.

    But it doesn't.

    x86 code means what it is, and the PROGRAM DD includes all its code,
    that of the HHH that is here that you are claiming to be correct.

    What step actually differs at the level of the x86 simulaiton.

    Remember, at this level call HHH means go into HHH and continue running/simulating from there, NOT "start a new level of simulation",
    since that isn't the meaning in x86, and isn't even the meaning in
    generalize behavior.

    The generalized behavior of a call HHH, is, as you have defined, to conditionally simulate until you find what you think is a non-halting
    behavior pattern and then abort and return 0, or if you reach the end
    before reaching such a pattern, return 1.

    The HHH simulating that needs to take that conditionality into account,
    or it isn't "correctly simulating" the input even in the generic
    behavior case.

    The call HHH can't be perverted to being treated as a call to a UTM,
    unless HHH itself is a UTM, which means it can not abort.

    You are just showing that you logic thinks a given program can be two
    different things at once, despite the meaning of the word that say
    otherwise.

    Sorry, you are just proving yourself to be a stupid liar.

      if (Halt_Status)

      return Halt_Status;
    }

    If you are an expert C programmer you know that
    DD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly
    reach the "do the opposite" part.

    DD keeps calling HHH(DD) in recursive simulation
    never reaching its own "if" statement.


    WHich means if that *IS* your definition of HHH, it isn't a decider.

    And, if your HHH is a decider, it doesn't correctly simulate the input,
    so the statement is just nonsense.

    This is simple basic logic, something you don't seem to understand.

    You can't have HHH be two different things at once, that just proves
    that you are just a pathetic stupid pathological lying idiot.

    We are working with a system that has all

    as formalized natural language expressions.

    Unreachable, because some basic facts are unknown, even when true or false.


    The only inference rule in the above formal
    system is semantic logical inference.

    When any expression cannot be proven on this
    basis (just like Prolog facts and rules) then
    the expression is deemed untrue.

    This will not happen, before you fix your errors in the input of the AI.

    The notion of a termination analyzer is well known in the literature.
    AProVE: Non-Termination Witnesses for C Programs: The termination status decision is made on the basis of the dynamic behavior of the input. https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-3-030-99527-0_21.pdf

    <Input to LLM systems>
    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern: abort simulation and
    return 0.

    This is the incorrect input. That must be:
    (a) Sees a finite recursion, but does not see that it is finite. It
    incorrectly assumes a non-termination behaviour pattern, aborts and
    incorrectly returns 0.
    Proving that you are correct by assuming that you are correct is an
    invalid circular reasoning.

    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement: return 1.

    typedef int (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    int DD()
    {
      int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
      if (Halt_Status)
        HERE: goto HERE;
      return Halt_Status;
    }

    What value should HHH(DD) correctly return?
    <Input to LLM systems>

    Incorrect question. HHH cannot return a correct value.


    HHH works correctly on these inputs.

    void Infinite_Recursion()
    {
      Infinite_Recursion();
      return;
    }

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



    Irrelevant. It does not prove that HHH is able to detect a finite
    recursion or a finite loop. The fact that it returns 0 when DD is the
    input, proves that it cannot detect that the recursion is finite.

    I suspect if you specifically told Claude that HHH was

    That would cause it to begin with false assumptions

    So does this: "Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly
    simulates its input"


    That you refuse to understand how the simulation
    is correct

    You mean the one that you admitted on the record is NOT correct?



    The simulation of DD by HHH is proven to be correct
    on the basis of the emulation of DD by HHH according
    to the definition of the x86 language.

    Everything else that anyone ever said about this
    has always been incorrect. Just for you not for
    anyone else anything that I said prior to this reply
    to you is deprecated.

    So in other words, because you prior admission was made by failing
    to show where in the Intel instruction manual the execution of any
    instruction other than HLT is allowed to stop instead of executing
    the next instruction, you're stating that you're now going to show
    us where that is.

    Failing to do so in your next reply or within one hour of your next
    post in this newsgroup means your admission stands.


    *No that is merely you dishonestly ignoring the specification*

    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until: >>> (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern: abort simulation and
    return 0.

    Incorrect. It must be:
    (a) Sees a finite recursion and fails to see that it is finite,
    because it does not take into account the conditional branch
    instructions. It makes the wrong conclusion that there is non-
    termination behaviour and prematurely aborts the simulation.

    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement: return 1.


    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern: abort simulation and
    return 0.

    As usual a repeated incorrect claim. without evidence.
    This must be:
    (a) Sees a finite recursion and fails to see that it is finite, because
    it does not take into account the conditional branch instructions. It
    makes the wrong conclusion that there is non-termination behaviour and prematurely aborts the simulation.
    Here you assume that you are correct in an attempt to prove that your
    are correct. That is an invalid circular reasoning.

    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement: return 1.

    That generic HHH(DD) specifies
     HHH simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)
    that simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)
    that simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)
    that simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)
    that simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)
    that simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)...

    Counter factual. The simulating HHH aborts after two recursions. After
    three recursions the simulated HHH would abort and the correct
    simulation would reach the final halt state.
    HHH, however, fails to reach that final halt state specified in the
    input. HHH hen does not see the final halt state because of a premature
    abort. You programmed your attitude in HHH: close your eyes and pretend
    that what you do not see does not exist.


    until the
    *recursive simulation non-halting behavior pattern*
    is matched.

    There is no such pattern to match. Your criteria for such a pattern is incorrect. There are conditional branch instructions being simulated
    during the recursion. One cycle later the conditions for the branches
    are met. You cannot prove that these conditions are never met if the
    simulation would continue.
    Therefore, the pattern is not matched, the pattern is incorrectly assumed.


    All three LLM systems figured this out on their own.
    I did not tell them about the
    *recursive simulation non-halting behavior pattern*
    or the value that HHH(DD) should return.

    This only proves that the AI is not smart enough to see the errors in
    the input. They assume that the input is correct, where you claim that
    your are correct and then from that they prove that you are correct.
    That is an invalid circular reasoning.

    The negation of gibberish is still gibberish.


    We are working with a system that has all
    of the basic facts of the world encoded
    as formalized natural language expressions.

    Then we aren't working in the Formal Logic system of Computability Theory.

    And the concept of "Basic Facts" are all to some degree unknown, and
    thus not encodable at all.

    The "Reality" of the world is something we seek to approximate by finite
    (and inherently inaccurate and only approximate) observations.


    The only inference rule in the above formal
    system is semantic logical inference.

    Which is just nonsense, as your above description of the system doesn't
    have semantics, just facts (whose exactness is unknown).

    If one somehow DID know to the infinite precision the exactness of all
    basic facts of the universe, there would be nothing to "derive" from that.


    When any expression cannot be proven on this
    basis (just like Prolog facts and rules) then
    the expression is deemed untrue.



    Which is just nonsense, as Prolog can only handle small finite formal
    logic system with constrained inference rules, and thus can't handle you assumed case.

    Sorry, all you are doing is proving that you have no idea what you are
    talking about, but think, in your stupidity, that you are the smartest
    person in the world, while you are actually one of the dumbest.

    You just don't understand what you are talking about, but are working in
    a totally baseless logic out of the insanity of your own mind.

    Your "proof" isn't a mathematical induciton, as every DDD is a different program, so the behavior of one does not imply the behavior of the next.

    Nope. It looks at a sequence, and requires two proofs.

    That the property holds for the first of the sequence.

    And if it hold for element N, it hold for element N+1

    Since each of the HHH is emulating a DIFFERENT input, there is not
    second proof, as the behavior of one program doesn't proof anything

    *No that is merely you dishonestly ignoring the specification*

    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input
    until:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern: abort simulation
    and return 0.

    Incorrect. It must be:
    (a) Sees a finite recursion and fails to see that it is finite,

    We are not looking at whether the recursion stops
    running. We are looking at whether DD correctly
    simulated by any HHH of the infinite set of HHH
    can possibly reach its final halt state.

    It is non halting behavior that HHH recognizes in a
    finite number of steps.


    But if the recusion stops running, it means that the correct simulation
    halts.

    The fact that HHH doesn't do a correct simulation means what it does
    doesn't matter.

    The fact that some OTHER program that you deceptively also call HHH
    (lets call it HHH' to be clear) simulates some OTHER version of DDD,
    lets call it DDD' that rather than calling HHH, calls HHH', means
    nothing about the behavior of the DDD that HHH is trying to decide on.

    Again, all you are doing is trying to assert that LIES are valid logic operations, and deception is a valid technique.

    Sorry, there is a place for those that do that, and you won't like it.

    But then, it may be better than the alternative, being in a place where
    lies can not be and being forced to see ALL your errors all the time.

    Yes. HHH(DD) is given the fixed code of the function DD, the fixed

    down to the OS level.


    *That is not the way the actual proofs work*

    Sure it does.

    Ĥ.embedded_H is every Turing machine decider
    of the infinite set of Turing machine deciders.

    No, Ĥ.embedded_H is the SPECIFIC decider that we have chosen to prove it wrong, that is the H that we are giving this input to.


    Perhaps you don't have sufficient technical
    competence in this field?

    Maybe you can't understand what you read, because you don't know what
    the words mean.

    H was a SPECIFIC decider chosen from the set of halt deciders.

    Ĥ is a SPECIFIC program built from that H in a way that creates a
    pathological relationship between the algorithm of the decider and the
    behavior of Ĥ

    Ĥ is then given the representation of itself, so it can ask H to decide
    on itself given a representation of itself, and then it does the
    opposite, so whatever H decides will be wrong.

    To claim the input doesn't represent Ĥ applied to its representation say
    you lied when you built Ĥ, as that was its actual specification.

    Sorry, all you are doing is showing that you like to rotely parrot words
    you don't understand because it sounds smart to you, and then claim what
    you want, which is just an act of lying.



    So HHH makes a decision based on *any* of that changing, you're
    deciding on a non-input.

    Don't know if you caught this part where he's now explicitly admitting
    to changing the input.

    Which means he is admitting he doesn't have a inductive relationship,
    until he can prove the actual rehavior relationship between the input.

    He is claim it is required, as he needs to do it to make the claim at
    all, but it invalidates the proof.

    All he is doing is proving he is a liar.

    *That is not the way the actual proofs work*

    Yes it is.  The first line of the Linz proof:

    ---------------
    We assume the contrary, namely that there exists *an algorithm*,
    and consequently some *Turing machine H*, that solves the halting problem
    ---------------

    i.e. it assumes *one* fixed immutable set of instructions that do this:


    Every since I studied Montague Grammar mathematical
    specification for the meaning of words I have been
    able to focus my attention of exactly what some words
    precisely say.


    Then why do you get so many wrong.

    Note, Montegue Grammer isn't applicable here, as we are not talking
    about "Natural Language" but the Formal Language of the system,

    The Natural Language around that Formal Language derives its meaning
    from the Formal Langauge.

    *some Turing machine H* of the infinite set of all
    Turing machines.

    Right, "Some", meaning "Pick one" out of that set.


    My own knowledge of the theory of computation is limited
    to the halting problem proofs and Turing machines.

    Which is part of your problem, and you don't seem to actually understand
    what a Turing Machine is, as you showed when you tried to make a simple one.

    Knowing that you have a limititation in knowledge of the field meams
    that you insistance that you "know better" than people how KNOW the
    field is just a demonstartion of your utter stupidity and that you
    really are just a pathological liar.

    You claim that Halt Decider can't be asked about the behavior of the
    program the input represents, because you just don't understand the
    power of representation. You pu-pu it out of ignorance, which make you
    the stupid liar.


    I was shocked to find out the limits of computable
    functions a few years ago in this forum. Hardly
    anyone knew how to translate these limitations into
    modern software engineering terms. It turned out to
    be quite simple.


    And part of the issue is that most code isn't working with the concept
    of a "Computable Function" which is a term out of mathematics.

    And, it seems you don't understand the restrictions, as you keep on
    trying to do things that aren't allowed, like have you H look at stuff
    that isn't part of the input, just because it is in the same memory space.

    That does NOT allow its use (or by doing so, it makes it part of the
    input, and you need to report that fact, or be a liar.

    No, it has a bug so that it incorrectly thinks that a finite recursion
    with conditional branch instructions is a non-halting pattern

    When HHH(DD) aborts its simulation of DD it recognizes
    that there does not exist N steps of correct simulation
    of DD where the simulated DD reaches its own simulated
    final halt state.

    You keep confusing halting with stopping running, they
    are not the same.

    And you confuse aborting simulation with the stopping of the behavior of
    the thing simulated.


    When HHH(DD) is executed that this begins simulating
    DD that calls HHH(DD) that begins simulating DD that
    calls HHH(DD) again.

    But the emulated DD will call an HHH that will eventually abort its
    emulation at some point and return to the emulated DD breaking the pattern.

    The "without aborting" as about the simulation of the outer simulator,
    but doesn't actually change the code of the input, which still has the
    code of the ACTUAL HHH, which aborts.

    Sorry, you are just stuck in your fantasy world that doesn't match reality.


    and aborts, where better simulators show that when the simulation is
    continued, the final halt state specified in the input can be reached.

    It is not a better simulator. Both cases use the world
    class x86 emulator x86emulib.

    Which HHH ignores at one point and decides that the program just hangs
    at a point and doesn't move forward, and thus is just wrong.


    HHH1(DD) benefits from HHH(DD) having already
    aborted its emulation.

    HHH(DD) has no such benefit.

    WHich is why HHH can't get the answer, but doesn't change the behavior
    of the input.


    There is non non-halting behaviour specified in the input. Therefore,
    HHH fails when it pretends that it has detected it.

    reach the final halt state. We are looking at the specification of the
    input. If HHH misses parts of the specification, it is just wrong.


    It is non halting behavior that HHH recognizes in a
    finite number of steps.


    No, it has a bug so that it incorrectly thinks that a finite recursion
    with conditional branch instructions is a non-halting pattern

    When HHH(DD) aborts its simulation of DD it recognizes
    that there does not exist N steps of correct simulation
    of DD where the simulated DD reaches its own simulated
    final halt state.

    That is exactly the error in HHH. Several methods show that a correct simulation reaches the final halt state in a finite number of steps for
    the exact same input.
    HHH fails to do a correct simulation. You try to get away by it by
    changing the number N and also changing the input. That is cheating.
    The exact same input, where HHH aborts after N stapes, specifies a final
    halt state in M steps. But, because M > N, HHH fails. This failure of
    HHH does not change the specification that M steps are needed to reach
    that final halt state. It is evidence that simulation is not the right
    tool for this input, because it creates a recursion that can not be
    simulated correctly.


    You keep confusing halting with stopping running, they
    are not the same.

    No, you keep confusing an abort with non-halting,which is not the same.
    We agree that HHH fails to reach the final halt state, but you never
    told what is the benefit of that knowledge.


    When HHH(DD) is executed that this begins simulating
    DD that calls HHH(DD) that begins simulating DD that
    calls HHH(DD) again.

    And than the simulating HHH prematurely aborts the simulation, one cycle
    before the simulated HHH would abort prematurely and halt.


    and aborts, where better simulators show that when the simulation is
    continued, the final halt state specified in the input can be reached.

    It is not a better simulator. Both cases use the world
    class x86 emulator x86emulib.

    No, HHH was modified to abort the simulation, violating the x86 semantics.


    HHH1(DD) benefits from HHH(DD) having already
    aborted its emulation.

    That HHH does not benefit from it, is an error in HHH. It aborts too soon.


    HHH(DD) has no such benefit.

    HHH has the same benefit, but does not use it because of a premature abort.


    There is non non-halting behaviour specified in the input. Therefore,
    HHH fails when it pretends that it has detected it.
