• Olcott's obtuseness

    From Mr Flibble@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 18 20:35:30 2025
    I still haven't figured out if Olcott's obtuseness is wilful or innate. Whichever it is it is indistinguishable from trolling at this point.

    No it would have to know its own machine address to do this.

    So? If you can find DD's machine address I can't see you having
    any trouble pinning down HHH's.

    It must recurse into it to see the repeating state.

    Why? You know it's 0, practically by definition.

    But if you must recurse, recurse. Having established the pattern
    and made the decision to return 0, at the /next/ recursive call,
    replace the call with a memoised 0 and carry on simulating.

    No, it isn't. You're not changing the input; you're changing the

    olcott is not trolling, he is, simply, too stupid and a liar.
    A problem is, other people seemingly does not understand proof as well.
    The HP proof has nothing to do with the implement of H. People insists
    the simulation is wrong, but as said it is not... So, olcott desperately defends 'the simulation' is correct.

    It is you failed to rebuttal (if you insist the simulation is wrong).

    Some people point out some errors, others point out other errors.
    Olcott uses the term "simulation" but not "partial simulation" so
    the simulation can be called "wrong". But it has also been pointed
    out that the "non-halting" pattern does not imply non-halting, and
    that a "wrong" simulation does not invalidate the algorithm as long
    as the result is correct (which Olcott's result is not).

    Anyway, the visible actions of Olcott matter more than his invisible
    mental processes.

    That is a lie.

    I'm sorry. He now seems to agree that HHH has state (and so
    cannot be described as a pure function) and sometimes returns
    non-zero, and he appears to be very sensitive on the matter.

    Watch this space for the next fascinating installment.

    Likewise the simulation HHH(Infinite_Loop) is "incomplete"
    As it should!
    If is flat out incorrect to require a complete simulation of a non
    terminating input such as the input to HHH(DD).
    A pure simulator is not required to halt, and HHH is not one.


    When 0 to ∞ instructions of DD are correctly
    simulated by HHH this simulated DD never reaches
    its own simulated "return" statement final halt state.



    Each HHH cannot simulate 0 to ∞ instructions because it is coded to
    abort after a fixed finite number of instructions.
    So, there are many different HHH, each of which fail to reach the end of
    the simulation of a different DD based on themselves.
    But if we do not change the input, then for each DD we can use a HHH
    that simulates more steps to correctly reach the end of the simulation.
    This proves that each input specifies a program with a final halt state
    that can be reached in a finite number of steps.
    But for each HHH we can construct an input for which it fails to reach
    this specified final halt state.
    This all shows the failure of the attempt to use a simulator for
    analysing the halting behaviour of an arbitrary input. No matter how
    many steps are simulated, for each such simulator an input can
    constructed for which te simulator fails to see the correct behaviour.

    olcott is not trolling, he is, simply, too stupid and a liar.
    A problem is, other people seemingly does not understand proof as well.
    The HP proof has nothing to do with the implement of H. People insists

    It is you failed to rebuttal (if you insist the simulation is wrong).

    Some people point out some errors, others point out other errors.
    Olcott uses the term "simulation" but not "partial simulation" so
    the simulation can be called "wrong". But it has also been pointed
    out that the "non-halting" pattern does not imply non-halting, and
    that a "wrong" simulation does not invalidate the algorithm as long
    as the result is correct (which Olcott's result is not).

    Anyway, the visible actions of Olcott matter more than his invisible
    mental processes.

    As usual incorrect claims.
    Many times already it has been pointed out that there is a bug in this
    code, because it does not analyse the conditional branch instructions encountered during the simulation. When correctly analysed, it would see
    that the conditions for these conditional branch instructions change
    during the simulation and one cycle after the abort a different branch
    would have been followed, making the recursion finite.
    Your code fails to prove that the other branches of the conditional
    branch instructions will never been followed when the simulation would continue.
    This bug makes that HHH incorrectly sees the finite recursion as non-termination behaviour, even when there is no non-termination
    behaviour specified in the input, only a finite recursion.

    Only if you misdefine the terms.

    The problem is halting programs have that pattern, so it isn't non-halting.

    Your pattern ignores the behavior of part of the input, and thus is just
    a LIE.

    Since the HHH that is calls *WILL* abort its emulation after a while and return, as that *IS* the HHH you are using at this time, it is halting.

    Only in a logic system where things are what they are not, (in other
    words, a system that lies) is your claim valid.

    It doesn't matter. The only thing we can do is to point out that
    the truth is different.

    If people pay close enough attention they see that I am correct.

    People who have paid close enough attention have seen your mistakes.
    For example:

    to abort the recursion and report its result as 0
    - didn't halt.

    Nice to see that you don't disagree.
