    To repeat:

    You might as well define counting to ten: 1,2,3 DONE.

    So Ha3 is obviously wrong? What criteria do you use to
    determine that?
    That is an intentionally stupid question.

    I want to hear your answer.  What criteria do you use to show that >>>>>>> Ha3 applied to <N><5> reporting non-halting is incorrect?

    I take it that you want me to ignore everything you say.
    This work is intended to be my legacy before I die.
    If you just want to play head games go fornicate yourself.



    The fact you have trouble with these simple questions shows how bad
    your
    logic is.

    I told him that his question was just liked counting to ten: 1,2,3
    DONE.

    So in other words H3a is not simulating for enough steps?


    TRY AND FIND ANY ERROR IN THESE EXACT WORDS:
    As long as the simulated input to embedded_H could never reach its
    final state in any finite number of steps of correct simulation by
    embedded_H then its rejection of this input is necessarily correct.


    Like, you need to use THE ACTUAL DEFINITION OF WHAT H IS SUPPOSED TO DO?

    That is out-of-scope. You must find an error in my exact words and
    explain why it is an error, otherwise we get stuck talking in circles
    that are various shades of the strawman error.

    Halting,

    So in other words you disagree with Linz:

    computation that halts … the Turing machine will halt whenever it
    enters a final state. (Linz:1990:234)


    Nope, I agree with him, and he says look at the direct execution of the machine,

    Ah so you believe that Linz does not accept that the direct execution of
    Turing machine is computationally equivalent to the UTM simulation of
    the Turing machine description of this same machine.
