    You are agreed that a decider maps its input finite string input
    to an accept or reject state.

    Now you are contradicting yourself by saying that a decider maps a >>>>>> non-input non-finite string.


    Nope, what it is mapping is the input <H^> <H^> which most
    definitely IS a finite string input.

    It is to map it to Qy (accept) or Qn (reject) based on if the
    machine H^   applied to <H^> Halts.

    The fact tha H^ applied to <H^> isn't exactly an input if fine,

    Yes, EXACTLY. YOU ARE. This is because you aren't using the right
    definition of HALTING. (Halting is the white dog, your POOP is the
    black cats).

    Halting is DEFINED based on the behavoir of the TURING MACHINE that
    the input represents, NOT a simulation of the input by the decider.

    The only correct halt status criteria for a simulating halt decider is
    whether or not the simulated input can possibly reach its own final
    state. Every distraction away from this point is a dishonest dodge.

    Nope. THE DEFINITION of the right answer is what the ACTUAL TURING
    MACHINE the input represents does.


    The actual behavior of the actual simulated input it what counts.

    Your misunderstanding is the misunderstanding by someone that learns by
    rote instead of having a deep understanding.

    The only reason the term "represents" is used is because a Turing
    machine description does not have any behavior unless it is simulated.

    We cannot make the criteria the behavior of the Turing machine
    description because it is only a finite string without behavior.

    We can refer to the behavior that the finite string "represents",
    "specifies" or we can simply say the behavior of the simulated finite
    string. They all get around the fact that the finite string itself has
    no behavior.

    What we cannot do is refer to behavior that differs from the behavior of
    the simulated finite string.

    To make sure that we do not refer to behavior that differs from the
    behavior of the simulated finite string we merely directly refer to the behavior of the simulated finite string.

    Anything else, that isn't PROVABLY EXACTLY THE SAME, is WRONG.

    This is the plain meaning of the words.

    Your use of something different just PROVES that you whole arguement is
    a LIE.

    Your repeating it 4 times, just shows your maturing it that of a Toddler.

    FAIL.

    If you can see that the simulated ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ never reaches its final state

    What we cannot do is see that the simulated ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ never reaches its final state and simply ignore this fact because it is not what we expect
    to happen.

    Right Finite strings have no behavior.

    The behavior the decider needs to decide on is the Turing Machine the
    input is a representation of.


    The behavior of the UTM simulation of the input is the behavior that
    this input specifies. That the input simulated by a UTM would never
    reach its final state conclusively proves that this input specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.


    The behavior referred to must be the same as the behavior of the
    simulated Turing machine description otherwise you are denying the
    computational equivalence of the direct execution of a Turing machine
    and the UTM simulation of the machine description of this same machine.

    Right, the behavior of the ACTUAL Turing Machine, which can also be
    obtained by the simulation with a UTM


    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qy ∞
    If the pure simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H would reach its final
    state.

    NOT 'by embedded_H' but by a UTM. Wrong Definition.


    By the UTM aspect of embedded_H because the simulation must occur at the
    same point (in the middle) of Ĥ where embedded_H is located.


    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qn
    If the pure simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H would never reach its
    final state.

    NOT 'by embedded_H' but by a UTM. Wrong Definition.


    By the UTM aspect of embedded_H because the simulation must occur at the
    same point (in the middle) of Ĥ where embedded_H is located.

    If embedded_H CAN meet the requirements of a UTM, then it can use
    itself, but if not, it can't. Note, one key point is for the second case
    (Qn) UTM not halting meens an unaborted simulation does not halt.


    We already agreed that an unaborted simulated never stops running.


    If you can see that the simulated ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ never reaches its final >> state and the executed Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ does reach its final state then there
    must be something about the different placement of Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ at the
    beginning of Ĥ and Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ in the middle of Ĥ that causes a
    difference in behavior.

    IF embedded_H never aborts, then YES, it has shown that the input is non-halting, but it fails to give the answer.


    None-the-less if embedded_H can determine that its simulation would
    never stop running if it never aborted this simulation then embedded_H
    knows that its simulated input never reaches its final state whether or
    not embedded_H aborts it.

    IF embedded_H does abort, then its simulation is no long that of a UTM,
    so we need to look at what the UTM simulation will do.


    We do not have to run an infinite loop forever to determine that it is
    an infinite loop. Likewise embedded_H need not simulate its input
    forever to correctly determine that its simulated input never reaches
    its final state.

    We have shown that if H <H^> <H^> -> Qn then H^ <H^> -> H^.Qn and Halts,
    and thus UTM <H^> <H^> will also go to H^.Qn and Halt.

    THAT is the proper test.


    That test simply ignores the fact that the simulated input never reaches
    its final state. The placement of the simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ in the middle of Ĥ does make its behavior different than that of Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ at the beginning of Ĥ.

    embedded_H must abort ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to prevent its infinite simulation. Only
    because the second invocation of what would otherwise be infinite
    recursion has been aborted does the first invocation terminate normally.


    What we cannot do is see that the simulated ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ never reaches its
    final state and simply ignore this fact because it is not what we
    expect to happen.


    And UTM <H^> <H^> only never halts if embedded_H never aborts.

    Killing the execution of a program does not cause this same program to terminate normally. Killing the second invocation of what would
    otherwise be infinite recursion does cause the first invocation to
    terminate normally.


    since a embdded_H that never aborts is a DIFFERENT MACHINE than an
    embedded_H that does abort, these represent DIFFERENT H^ machines, so different inputs.


    None-the-less the fact that the simulated input to embedded_H never
    stops running unless aborted does prove that the simulated input never terminates normally no matter what.

    You can't use the logic for Hn that doesn't abort and gives us a Hn^
    that doesn't halt to answer about the correct answer for Ha that does
    abort and its input <Ha^> <Ha^> which as we have shown represents a
    HALTING computtion.

    FAIL.

    It is the case that the simulated input to embedded_H never reaches the
    final state of this simulated input.

    THAT IS THE ONLY CORRECT BASIS FOR THE HALT STATUS DECISION

    By the UTM aspect of embedded_H because the simulation must occur at
    the same point (in the middle) of Ĥ where embedded_H is located.

    Nope!!!

    It is the INDEPENDENT running of UTM <H^> <H^>.


    THAT IS FALSE THERE IS A KEY DEPENDENCY !!!
    THAT IS FALSE THERE IS A KEY DEPENDENCY !!!
    THAT IS FALSE THERE IS A KEY DEPENDENCY !!!

    The invocation of Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ is the first invocation in what would otherwise be infinite recursion.

    Its normal behavior depends on a subsequent invocation being aborted.

    If a subsequent invocation is never aborted then the recursion remains infinite.

    In any case the simulated input never reaches the final state of this
    simulated input. The final state of the simulated input is ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩.

    Nope. THE DEFINITION of the right answer is what the ACTUAL

    The actual behavior of the actual simulated input it what counts. >>>>>>>
    NOPE. READ THE DEFINITION!

    It is the behavior of the ACTUAL TURING MACHINE THE INPUT REPRESENT. >>>>>>
    This only means that it is not the behavior of a finite string
    because finite strings have no behavior.

    Right Finite strings have no behavior.

    The behavior the decider needs to decide on is the Turing Machine
    the input is a representation of.


    The behavior of the UTM simulation of the input is the behavior that
    this input specifies. That the input simulated by a UTM would never
    reach its final state conclusively proves that this input specifies
    a non-halting sequence of configurations.

    except that if H <H^> <H^> -> Qn, then H^ <H^> and UTM <H^> <H^> will
    also gp tp H^.Qn and halt, so your claim is a LIE.

    Eitehr you LIE that your deicder said its input was non-halting, or
    you LIE that simulation does not reach a final state.

    You can't use two different version of H/embedded_H here.


    The behavior referred to must be the same as the behavior of the
    simulated Turing machine description otherwise you are denying the >>>>>> computational equivalence of the direct execution of a Turing
    machine and the UTM simulation of the machine description of this

    Right, the behavior of the ACTUAL Turing Machine, which can also be
    obtained by the simulation with a UTM


    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qy ∞
    If the pure simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H would reach its

    NOT 'by embedded_H' but by a UTM. Wrong Definition.


    By the UTM aspect of embedded_H because the simulation must occur at

    Nope!!!

    The invocation of Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ is the first invocation in what would
    otherwise be infinite recursion.

    Its normal behavior depends on a subsequent invocation being aborted.

    If a subsequent invocation is never aborted then the recursion remains
    infinite.

    In any case the simulated input never reaches the final state of this
    simulated input. The final state of the simulated input is ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩.



    Nope, ALL Copies of the same machine given the same input behave the same.


    There is never any case where the simulated input reaches its own final
    state ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩.

    If you want to refute that, provide and ACTUAL coded example.

    H^ applied to <H^> -> H^.Qn and Halts and UTM <H^> <H^> goes to <H^>.Qn
    and Halts if H/embedded_H -> Qn, and if H doesn't, it fails to be a
    decider, so is wrong either way.

    Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ and embedded_H both reach their final state of Ĥ.qn and halt.

    The simulated input: ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to embedded_H never reaches its own final
    state ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩.

    The CORRECTLY Simulated input, done by the independent UTM,

    So you admit that you are only talking about the INCORRECTLY
    Simulated Output?

    No nitwit I admit no such thing.

    Then why did you say it?

    I talked about the 'CORRECT Simulation' and you say that you aren't
    talking about that.

    What is the defintion of a simulation that isn't the correct
    simulation?

    You don't seem to understand the meaning of English words.


    The input simulated by the UTM contained within embedded_H cannot
    possibly reach its own final state of ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩ if simulated in an >>>>>> infinite or finite number of steps or if the simulation is aborted >>>>>> at any point along the way.



    As I have said, there IS NO UTM contained within embedded_H that is
    still a UTM if embedded_H EVER aborts its simulation.PERIOD.

    A music app can contain a complete C compiler that remains a
    complete C compiler even if it is never uses.



    RED HERRING. Category error. (Since you claim embedded_H USES the
    UTM, your case in non-applicable).

    If embedded_H uses its UTM to simulate one state transition at a time
    of its input then each of these state transitions are simulated
    correctly.


    The step maybe, the MACHINE, NO.

    Definition of Correct Simulation, behaves IDENTICAL to the original
    machine.

    Means can not 'abort' the simulation.

    FAIL.

    If a simulating halt decider cannot abort an otherwise infinite
    simulation then you are artificially requiring it to be wrong where it
    would otherwise be correct.
