The proofs you are attempting to refute doe not have any infinite
recursion thus you continue to bark up the wrong tree.

So you simply guess that you must be correct and totally ignore my
proof that you are not. My paper shows how every conventional HP
proof is refuted on the basis that the input to H(P,P) (and its TM equivalents) specifies infinitely nested simulation to its halt
decider.
That H(P,P)==0 is easily verified as correct by reverse engineering what
the behavior of the input to H(P,P) would be if we assume that H
performs a pure x86 emulation of its input. The x86 source-code of P specifies everything that we need to know to do this.
It is dead obvious that when H(P,P) correctly emulates its input that
the first 7 instructions of P are emulated.
It is also dead obvious that when P calls H(P,P) that H emulates the
first 7 instructions of P again.
This makes it dead obvious that the correct x86 emulation of the input
to H(P,P) never reaches its last instruction and halts.
Because all of my reviewers have consistently denied this easily
verified fact for six months it seems unreasonable to believe that this
is an honest mistake.
This is an explanation of a key new insight into the halting problem
provided in the language of software engineering. Technical computer
science terms are explained using software engineering terms.
To fully understand this paper a software engineer must be an expert in:
the C programming language, the x86 programming language, exactly how C translates into x86 and the ability to recognize infinite recursion at
the x86 assembly language level. No knowledge of the halting problem is required.
The computer science term “halting” means that a Turing Machine terminated normally reaching its last instruction known as its “final state”. This is the same idea as when a function returns to its caller
as opposed to and contrast with getting stuck in an infinite loop or
infinite recursion.
In computability theory, the halting problem is the problem of determining,
from a description of an arbitrary computer program and an input, whether
the program will finish running, or continue to run forever. Alan Turing proved
in 1936 that a general algorithm to solve the halting problem for all possible
program-input pairs cannot exist.
For any program H that might determine if programs halt, a "pathological"
program P, called with some input, can pass its own source and its input to
H and then specifically do the opposite of what H predicts P will do. No H
can exist that handles this case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem
Technically a halt decider is a program that computes the mapping from a
pair of input finite strings to its own accept or reject state based on
the actual behavior specified by these finite strings. In other words
it determines whether or not its input would halt and returns 0 or 1 accordingly.
Computable functions are the basic objects of study in computability theory.
Computable functions are the formalized analogue of the intuitive notion of
algorithms, in the sense that a function is computable if there exists an algorithm
that can do the job of the function, i.e. given an input of the function domain it
can return the corresponding output.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_function
The most definitive way to determine the actual behavior of the actual
input is to simply simulate this input and watch its behavior. This is
the ultimate measure of the actual behavior of the input. A simulating
halt decider (SHD) simulates its input and determines the halt status of
this input on the basis of the behavior of this correctly simulated of
its input.
The x86utm operating system was created so that all of the details of
the the halting problem counter-example could be examined at the much
higher level of abstraction of the C/x86 computer languages. It is based
on a very powerful x86 emulator.
The function named P was defined to do the opposite of whatever H
reports that it will do. If H(P,P) reports that its input halts, P
invokes an infinite loop. If H(P,P) reports that its input is
non-halting, P immediately halts.
The technical computer science term "halt" means that a program will
reach its last instruction technically called its final state. For P
this would be its machine address [0000136c].
H simulates its input one x86 instruction at a time using an x86
emulator. As soon as H(P,P) detects the same infinitely repeating
pattern (that we can all see), it aborts its simulation and rejects its input.
Anyone that is an expert in the C programming language, the x86
programming language, exactly how C translates into x86 and what an x86 processor emulator is can easily verify that the correctly simulated
input to H(P,P) by H specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
Software engineering experts can reverse-engineer what the correct x86 emulation of the input to H(P,P) would be for one emulation and one
nested emulation thus confirming that the provided execution trace is correct. They can do this entirely on the basis of the x86 source-code
for P with no need to see the source-code or execution trace of H.
The function named H continues to simulate its input using an x86
emulator until this input either halts on its own or H detects that it
would never halt. If its input halts H returns 1. If H detects that its
input would never halt H returns 0.

So, you are doing an analysis based on the assumption that an H CAN

Until your prove that such an H can exist, you need to be very careful

It is dead obvious that when H(P,P) correctly emulates its input that
the first 7 instructions of P are emulated.
It is also dead obvious that when P calls H(P,P) that H emulates the

But that wouldn't actually happen!!!
P calls H, so H needs to emulate the code of H since that is what is
actually executing.
THAT is a "Correct Simulation".
Only an H that wasn't actually a computation, but somehow collesed calls
to itself in its simulation would do anyting like that, but that means
that H fails to be an actual computation itself, and thus not eligable
to be a decider.
This makes it dead obvious that the correct x86 emulation of the input

Starting from an incorrect definition of a "Correct Trace" leads to

Ok. since P(P) Halts, why is H(P,P) == 0 not wrong, since H(P,P) is
supposed to be asking about the PROGRAM P, not some mythical behavior of
the input.
In computability theory, the halting problem is the problem of
determining,
from a description of an arbitrary computer program and an
input, whether
the program will finish running, or continue to run forever.
Alan Turing proved
in 1936 that a general algorithm to solve the halting problem
for all possible
program-input pairs cannot exist.
Right, H(P,P) is to determine if P(P) Halts.
Since P(P) Halts, the answer H(P,P) == 0 must be incorrect.
For any program H that might determine if programs halt, a
"pathological"
program P, called with some input, can pass its own source and
its input to
H and then specifically do the opposite of what H predicts P

Yep, that is the proof that you can't make an actual decider compute the Halting Function.
Technically a halt decider is a program that computes the mapping from
a pair of input finite strings to its own accept or reject state based
on the actual behavior specified by these finite strings. In other
words it determines whether or not its input would halt and returns 0
or 1 accordingly.
Right, an Arbitrary decide just needs to always halt on all input to
create a mapping of input to outputs.
To be a "Something" Decider, that mapping must match the "Something"
function as defined.
Computable functions are the basic objects of study in
computability theory.
Computable functions are the formalized analogue of the

algorithms, in the sense that a function is computable if there >> exists an algorithm

The most definitive way to determine the actual behavior of the actual

the ultimate measure of the actual behavior of the input. A simulating
halt decider (SHD) simulates its input and determines the halt status
of this input on the basis of the behavior of this correctly simulated

Ok, but if the correct simulation of the input takes longer that the SHD allows, it doesn't get the data it needs to make the decision.
It has been shown that if you SHD runs until it can actually PROVE that
it has the right answer, it will NEVER halt on the input P,P where P is
built on this "contrary" pattern.
You haven't even TRIED to prove that you can will reach an answer in
finite time.
The x86utm operating system was created so that all of the details of
the the halting problem counter-example could be examined at the much
higher level of abstraction of the C/x86 computer languages. It is
based on a very powerful x86 emulator.
Ok.
The function named P was defined to do the opposite of whatever H
reports that it will do. If H(P,P) reports that its input halts, P
invokes an infinite loop. If H(P,P) reports that its input is
non-halting, P immediately halts.
Right, which shows that H was wrong.
The only way that H(P,P) == 0 is correct, is if P(P) runs forever and
never halts.
The fact that it halt, PROVES that H was wrong.
The technical computer science term "halt" means that a program will
reach its last instruction technically called its final state. For P
this would be its machine address [0000136c].
Which it does, for an ACTUALLY RUN P.
There is NO requriement that H be able to simulate to that point.
H simulates its input one x86 instruction at a time using an x86
emulator. As soon as H(P,P) detects the same infinitely repeating
pattern (that we can all see), it aborts its simulation and rejects
its input.
And there is NO finite pattern that exists that proves that fact.
ANY pattern you claim is such a pattern, when programmed into H, makes
the actual execution of P(P) Halt, and thus is incorret.
Anyone that is an expert in the C programming language, the x86
programming language, exactly how C translates into x86 and what an
x86 processor emulator is can easily verify that the correctly
simulated input to H(P,P) by H specifies a non-halting sequence of
configurations.
Nope. It is easy to verify that if H(P,P) is defined to return 0 after a finite time, that P(P) will Halt.
Software engineering experts can reverse-engineer what the correct x86
emulation of the input to H(P,P) would be for one emulation and one
nested emulation thus confirming that the provided execution trace is
correct. They can do this entirely on the basis of the x86 source-code
for P with no need to see the source-code or execution trace of H.
Ok, so we have the trace of the first emulation, and a trace of the
second, both of them show that P(P) calls H(P,P) and is waiting for an answer.
The function named H continues to simulate its input using an x86
emulator until this input either halts on its own or H detects that it
would never halt. If its input halts H returns 1. If H detects that
its input would never halt H returns 0.
So you have the contradiction. If H returns 0, it shows that ALL the
P(P)'s will Halt.
If H doesn't return 0, it shows that it doesn't answer for that input,
and thus fails.
It is invalid logic to use a different H for doing the actual decision
an to build P from, they need to be EXACT copies and actual
computations, thus ALL copies do the same thing.

The correct simulation of the input to H(P,P) and the direct execution
of P(P) are not computationally equivalent thus need not have the same
halting behavior.
The H is NOT a Halting Decider.
The DEFINITION of a Halting Decider IS that it is answering about the behavior of the machine the input represents.
Thus, if H is a Halt Decider, the "behavior of the input", for H(P,P)
must be exactly P(P).

So, you are doing an analysis based on the assumption that an H CAN
correct simulate its input AND answer at the same time?
Until your prove that such an H can exist, you need to be very careful
what you derive from this analysis.
It is dead obvious that when H(P,P) correctly emulates its input that
the first 7 instructions of P are emulated.
It is also dead obvious that when P calls H(P,P) that H emulates the
first 7 instructions of P again.
But that wouldn't actually happen!!!
P calls H, so H needs to emulate the code of H since that is what is
actually executing.
THAT is a "Correct Simulation".
Yes that is true, none-the-less we don't need to actually see the 237
pages of the emulation of H to know that this H must also emulate the
first 7 instructions of P.
Only an H that wasn't actually a computation, but somehow collesed
calls to itself in its simulation would do anyting like that, but that
means that H fails to be an actual computation itself, and thus not
eligable to be a decider.
This makes it dead obvious that the correct x86 emulation of the
input to H(P,P) never reaches its last instruction and halts.
Starting from an incorrect definition of a "Correct Trace" leads to
garbage.
Because all of my reviewers have consistently denied this easily
verified fact for six months it seems unreasonable to believe that
this is an honest mistake.
Because what you claim isn't what actually happens. At least not in
the space that you claim to be working in.
You just repeat the claims, you never actually show that the rebutals
are incorrect. That just proves your own ignorance.
This is an explanation of a key new insight into the halting problem
provided in the language of software engineering. Technical computer
science terms are explained using software engineering terms.
Then actually provide the actual definition of the term you are
claiming make things clear.
To fully understand this paper a software engineer must be an expert
in: the C programming language, the x86 programming language, exactly
how C translates into x86 and the ability to recognize infinite
recursion at the x86 assembly language level. No knowledge of the
halting problem is required.
The computer science term “halting” means that a Turing Machine
terminated normally reaching its last instruction known as its “final
state”. This is the same idea as when a function returns to its
caller as opposed to and contrast with getting stuck in an infinite
loop or infinite recursion.
Ok. since P(P) Halts, why is H(P,P) == 0 not wrong, since H(P,P) is
supposed to be asking about the PROGRAM P, not some mythical behavior
of the input.
In computability theory, the halting problem is the problem of >>> determining,
from a description of an arbitrary computer program and an
input, whether
the program will finish running, or continue to run forever.
Alan Turing proved
in 1936 that a general algorithm to solve the halting problem >>> for all possible
program-input pairs cannot exist.
Right, H(P,P) is to determine if P(P) Halts.
Since P(P) Halts, the answer H(P,P) == 0 must be incorrect.
For any program H that might determine if programs halt, a
"pathological"
program P, called with some input, can pass its own source and >>> its input to
H and then specifically do the opposite of what H predicts P
will do. No H
can exist that handles this case.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem
Yep, that is the proof that you can't make an actual decider compute
the Halting Function.
Technically a halt decider is a program that computes the mapping
from a pair of input finite strings to its own accept or reject state
based on the actual behavior specified by these finite strings. In
other words it determines whether or not its input would halt and
returns 0 or 1 accordingly.
Right, an Arbitrary decide just needs to always halt on all input to
create a mapping of input to outputs.
To be a "Something" Decider, that mapping must match the "Something"
function as defined.
Computable functions are the basic objects of study in
computability theory.
Computable functions are the formalized analogue of the
intuitive notion of
algorithms, in the sense that a function is computable if there >>> exists an algorithm
that can do the job of the function, i.e. given an input of the >>> function domain it
can return the corresponding output.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_function
The most definitive way to determine the actual behavior of the
actual input is to simply simulate this input and watch its behavior.
This is the ultimate measure of the actual behavior of the input. A
simulating halt decider (SHD) simulates its input and determines the
halt status of this input on the basis of the behavior of this
correctly simulated of its input.
Ok, but if the correct simulation of the input takes longer that the
SHD allows, it doesn't get the data it needs to make the decision.
It has been shown that if you SHD runs until it can actually PROVE
that it has the right answer, it will NEVER halt on the input P,P
where P is built on this "contrary" pattern.
You haven't even TRIED to prove that you can will reach an answer in
finite time.
The x86utm operating system was created so that all of the details of
the the halting problem counter-example could be examined at the much
higher level of abstraction of the C/x86 computer languages. It is
based on a very powerful x86 emulator.
Ok.
The function named P was defined to do the opposite of whatever H
reports that it will do. If H(P,P) reports that its input halts, P
invokes an infinite loop. If H(P,P) reports that its input is
non-halting, P immediately halts.
Right, which shows that H was wrong.
The only way that H(P,P) == 0 is correct, is if P(P) runs forever and
never halts.
The fact that it halt, PROVES that H was wrong.
The technical computer science term "halt" means that a program will
reach its last instruction technically called its final state. For P
this would be its machine address [0000136c].
Which it does, for an ACTUALLY RUN P.
There is NO requriement that H be able to simulate to that point.
H simulates its input one x86 instruction at a time using an x86
emulator. As soon as H(P,P) detects the same infinitely repeating
pattern (that we can all see), it aborts its simulation and rejects
its input.
And there is NO finite pattern that exists that proves that fact.
ANY pattern you claim is such a pattern, when programmed into H, makes
the actual execution of P(P) Halt, and thus is incorret.
Anyone that is an expert in the C programming language, the x86
programming language, exactly how C translates into x86 and what an
x86 processor emulator is can easily verify that the correctly
simulated input to H(P,P) by H specifies a non-halting sequence of
configurations.
Nope. It is easy to verify that if H(P,P) is defined to return 0 after
a finite time, that P(P) will Halt.
Software engineering experts can reverse-engineer what the correct
x86 emulation of the input to H(P,P) would be for one emulation and
one nested emulation thus confirming that the provided execution
trace is correct. They can do this entirely on the basis of the x86
source-code for P with no need to see the source-code or execution
trace of H.
Ok, so we have the trace of the first emulation, and a trace of the
second, both of them show that P(P) calls H(P,P) and is waiting for an
answer.
The function named H continues to simulate its input using an x86
emulator until this input either halts on its own or H detects that
it would never halt. If its input halts H returns 1. If H detects
that its input would never halt H returns 0.
So you have the contradiction. If H returns 0, it shows that ALL the
P(P)'s will Halt.
If H doesn't return 0, it shows that it doesn't answer for that input,
and thus fails.
It is invalid logic to use a different H for doing the actual decision
an to build P from, they need to be EXACT copies and actual
computations, thus ALL copies do the same thing.

I am sure that you are pretending to be much more stupid than you are.
No one is stupid enough to disagree with a programming language.

So, you are doing an analysis based on the assumption that an H CAN
correct simulate its input AND answer at the same time?
Until your prove that such an H can exist, you need to be very
careful what you derive from this analysis.
It is dead obvious that when H(P,P) correctly emulates its input
that the first 7 instructions of P are emulated.
It is also dead obvious that when P calls H(P,P) that H emulates the
first 7 instructions of P again.
But that wouldn't actually happen!!!
P calls H, so H needs to emulate the code of H since that is what is
actually executing.
THAT is a "Correct Simulation".
Yes that is true, none-the-less we don't need to actually see the 237
pages of the emulation of H to know that this H must also emulate the
first 7 instructions of P.
Right, and then the top level H aborts, so we don't get to see the rest
of the correct simulaiton, which would show this embedded copy of H simulating the next embedded copy of H for its emulation of those sam e
7 instructions and then aborting its simulation and returning to the P
that called it and that P halting.
THAT is the correct Simulation of the input to H.
H can not do that, because it has been programmed to abort its
simulation at the point it did. But it shows the CORRECT SIMULATION does halt, and H used faulty logic to deicde that it would not.
The question is NOT can H simulate this input to a Halting State, but
can a CORRECT simulation of this input, with H defined to be what H is,
reach a final state, which it does.
If you want to claim foul and we can't use a different simulator to get
the correct simulation, then that is just saying you aren't doing the
Halting Problem, or that the Halting Problem is impossible to solve
(what the Theorem says).
Remember, Halting is a property of the program P, not the decider H.
Only an H that wasn't actually a computation, but somehow collesed
calls to itself in its simulation would do anyting like that, but
that means that H fails to be an actual computation itself, and thus
not eligable to be a decider.
This makes it dead obvious that the correct x86 emulation of the
input to H(P,P) never reaches its last instruction and halts.
Starting from an incorrect definition of a "Correct Trace" leads to
garbage.
Because all of my reviewers have consistently denied this easily
verified fact for six months it seems unreasonable to believe that
this is an honest mistake.
Because what you claim isn't what actually happens. At least not in
the space that you claim to be working in.
You just repeat the claims, you never actually show that the rebutals
are incorrect. That just proves your own ignorance.
This is an explanation of a key new insight into the halting problem
provided in the language of software engineering. Technical computer
science terms are explained using software engineering terms.
Then actually provide the actual definition of the term you are
claiming make things clear.
To fully understand this paper a software engineer must be an expert
in: the C programming language, the x86 programming language,
exactly how C translates into x86 and the ability to recognize
infinite recursion at the x86 assembly language level. No knowledge
of the halting problem is required.
The computer science term “halting” means that a Turing Machine
terminated normally reaching its last instruction known as its
“final state”. This is the same idea as when a function returns to >>>> its caller as opposed to and contrast with getting stuck in an
infinite loop or infinite recursion.
Ok. since P(P) Halts, why is H(P,P) == 0 not wrong, since H(P,P) is
supposed to be asking about the PROGRAM P, not some mythical behavior
of the input.
In computability theory, the halting problem is the problem of >>>> determining,

Right, H(P,P) is to determine if P(P) Halts.
Since P(P) Halts, the answer H(P,P) == 0 must be incorrect.
For any program H that might determine if programs halt, a
"pathological"
program P, called with some input, can pass its own source and >>>> its input to

can exist that handles this case.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem
Yep, that is the proof that you can't make an actual decider compute
the Halting Function.
Technically a halt decider is a program that computes the mapping
from a pair of input finite strings to its own accept or reject
state based on the actual behavior specified by these finite
strings. In other words it determines whether or not its input
would halt and returns 0 or 1 accordingly.
Right, an Arbitrary decide just needs to always halt on all input to
create a mapping of input to outputs.
To be a "Something" Decider, that mapping must match the "Something"
function as defined.
Computable functions are the basic objects of study in
computability theory.
Computable functions are the formalized analogue of the
intuitive notion of
algorithms, in the sense that a function is computable if
there exists an algorithm
that can do the job of the function, i.e. given an input of >>>> the function domain it
can return the corresponding output.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_function
The most definitive way to determine the actual behavior of the
actual input is to simply simulate this input and watch its
behavior. This is the ultimate measure of the actual behavior of the
input. A simulating halt decider (SHD) simulates its input and
determines the halt status of this input on the basis of the
behavior of this correctly simulated of its input.
Ok, but if the correct simulation of the input takes longer that the
SHD allows, it doesn't get the data it needs to make the decision.
It has been shown that if you SHD runs until it can actually PROVE
that it has the right answer, it will NEVER halt on the input P,P
where P is built on this "contrary" pattern.
You haven't even TRIED to prove that you can will reach an answer in
finite time.
The x86utm operating system was created so that all of the details
of the the halting problem counter-example could be examined at the
much higher level of abstraction of the C/x86 computer languages. It
is based on a very powerful x86 emulator.
Ok.
The function named P was defined to do the opposite of whatever H
reports that it will do. If H(P,P) reports that its input halts, P
invokes an infinite loop. If H(P,P) reports that its input is
non-halting, P immediately halts.
Right, which shows that H was wrong.
The only way that H(P,P) == 0 is correct, is if P(P) runs forever and
never halts.
The fact that it halt, PROVES that H was wrong.
The technical computer science term "halt" means that a program will
reach its last instruction technically called its final state. For P
this would be its machine address [0000136c].
Which it does, for an ACTUALLY RUN P.
There is NO requriement that H be able to simulate to that point.
H simulates its input one x86 instruction at a time using an x86
emulator. As soon as H(P,P) detects the same infinitely repeating
pattern (that we can all see), it aborts its simulation and rejects
its input.
And there is NO finite pattern that exists that proves that fact.
ANY pattern you claim is such a pattern, when programmed into H,
makes the actual execution of P(P) Halt, and thus is incorret.
Anyone that is an expert in the C programming language, the x86
programming language, exactly how C translates into x86 and what an
x86 processor emulator is can easily verify that the correctly
simulated input to H(P,P) by H specifies a non-halting sequence of
configurations.
Nope. It is easy to verify that if H(P,P) is defined to return 0
after a finite time, that P(P) will Halt.
Software engineering experts can reverse-engineer what the correct
x86 emulation of the input to H(P,P) would be for one emulation and
one nested emulation thus confirming that the provided execution
trace is correct. They can do this entirely on the basis of the x86
source-code for P with no need to see the source-code or execution
trace of H.
Ok, so we have the trace of the first emulation, and a trace of the
second, both of them show that P(P) calls H(P,P) and is waiting for
an answer.
The function named H continues to simulate its input using an x86
emulator until this input either halts on its own or H detects that
it would never halt. If its input halts H returns 1. If H detects
that its input would never halt H returns 0.
So you have the contradiction. If H returns 0, it shows that ALL the
P(P)'s will Halt.
If H doesn't return 0, it shows that it doesn't answer for that
input, and thus fails.
It is invalid logic to use a different H for doing the actual
decision an to build P from, they need to be EXACT copies and actual
computations, thus ALL copies do the same thing.

The correct simulation of the input to H(P,P) and the direct
execution of P(P) are not computationally equivalent thus need not
have the same halting behavior.
The H is NOT a Halting Decider.
The DEFINITION of a Halting Decider IS that it is answering about the
behavior of the machine the input represents.
Thus, if H is a Halt Decider, the "behavior of the input", for H(P,P)
must be exactly P(P).

returns 0.

It is completely obvious that when H(P,P) correctly emulates its input
that it must emulate the first seven instructions of P. Because the
seventh instruction of P repeats this process we can know with complete certainty that the emulated P never reaches its final “ret” instruction, thus never halts.
