    The sum of every element of the set of all finite subsets of finite

    Infinite input to a TM is uncomputable because the TM would never halt,

    We are not talking about any subset that has an infinte number of
    members, but the number of finite subsets of the Natural Numbers.

    The count of this is an uncountable infinity, an order of infinity
    bigger than the count of the Natural Numbers.


    The set of all finite subsets of the natural numbers is countable
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countable_set

    Side note, read on this page about total order:

    In both examples of well orders here, any subset has a least element;
    and in both examples of non-well orders, some subsets do not have a
    least element. This is the key definition that determines whether a
    total order is also a well order.


    Note, the rationals "in usual order" are a non-well ordered set, and
    thus some subsets (like the open interval) do not have a least member.
    This is why the intervale (0, 1] doesn't have a "lowest" value.


    https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Set_of_Finite_Subsets_of_Countable_Set_is_Countable

    https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Set_of_Finite_Subsets_of_Countable_Set_is_Countable

    Thus the set of all finite subsets of finite strings is countable.

    Thus the set all finite string pairs is countable because all of these
    pairs are subsets having two elements thus finite length,

    Note, MY claim was the number of FUNCTIONS was uncountable, not the
    number of subsets, thus not all Functions F(N) -> N are computable, as
    there are more functions than computations.


    There is a single TM can you not count to one?

    A single TM can derive the sum of any arbitrary finite set
    of finite strings of ASCII digits that are space delimited.

    Proving that this cannot be done requires a specific
    counter-example finite set of finite strings of ASCII digits
    where the sum cannot be computed.

    To be correct the TM need not calculate the sum of every finite
    set of finite strings of ASCII digits, it merely has to always
    compute this sum correctly for any arbitrary element of the
    finite set of finite strings.

    members, but the number of finite subsets of the Natural Numbers.

    The count of this is an uncountable infinity, an order of infinity
    bigger than the count of the Natural Numbers.


    The set of all finite subsets of the natural numbers is countable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countable_set

    Side note, read on this page about total order:

    In both examples of well orders here, any subset has a least element; and in both examples of non-well orders, some subsets do not have a least element. This is the key definition that determines whether a total order is also a well order.


    Note, the rationals "in usual order" are a non-well ordered set, and
    thus some subsets (like the open interval) do not have a least member.
    This is why the intervale (0, 1] doesn't have a "lowest" value.


    https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Set_of_Finite_Subsets_of_Countable_Set_is_Countable

    https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Set_of_Finite_Subsets_of_Countable_Set_is_Countable

    Thus the set of all finite subsets of finite strings is countable.

    Thus the set all finite string pairs is countable because all of these
    pairs are subsets having two elements thus finite length,

    Note, MY claim was the number of FUNCTIONS was uncountable, not the
    number of subsets, thus not all Functions F(N) -> N are computable, as
    there are more functions than computations.

    This also applies to the set of Functions F(N) -> {0,1}, which is the
    set of all deciders

    The subset problem is different. While the number of FINITE subsets is countably infinite, the number of partitions of N into S and S' can
    result in both S and S' being infinte, and thus none of those proofs
    show that the number of partiosns to be countable, thus more than the
    number of possible deciders which must be countable.

    From what I remember, the set of Halting Machines/Input pairs is
    countably infinte, and the number of Non-Halting pairs is Uncountable,
    so a Halting RECOGNIZER is possible, that is a machine that WILL Halt in
    finite time and say Halting for ALL Halting Machine/Inputs combinations,
    but might not halt on all Non-Halting combinations, which isn't much
    better than we could get by just running the machines (it might be able
    to detect that SOME non-halting machines are non-halting)



    The same thing would apply to a halt decider that takes arbitrary pairs
    of finite strings. We know this because we know that a TM that computes
    the sum of arbitrary pairs of finite strings of ASCII digits can be
    defined: This is merely a simpler case of the above.


    Wrong, and using a Red Herring and the fallacy of proof by examole,


    You are just showing how IGNORANT you are of what you are talking about.

    You are just showing you are totally lost about what I am talking about
    becaue you are too stupid.

    There exist more possibe problems to decide on then possible deciders
    (by an order of infinity).

    Thus, most decision problems are not computatble.

    Maybe most of the uncomputable ones are not interesting, but it shows
    that some are not computable.

    This happens to include the halting function.

    Your Red Herring Comments just show you have no idea what is being

    That there is never any countability issue in the computing mapping of

    for summing or halt status detection.

    The fact that ONE machine can be counted, doesn't mean that all can be.

    How do you make a countable infinite number of machine make an
    uncountable number of maps.


    I ask you again can you count to one?

    YTes, SO WHAT.


    There is only one machine that always has a finite number of inputs.
    We don't need any maps we only need one set of inputs deriving a single >>>> output for any arbitrary set of inputs. When we think of this as sums
    then it is obvious that countability is not an issue.

    So you are saying that the machine that computes the prime factors of
    its input it the same machine that computes its inputs factorial?

    You DO understand that a Turing Machine can be treated as a
    computation that computes a specific mapping of inputs to outputs?


    A TM must only compute the mapping from any arbitrary finite set of
    inputs to its finite set of outputs.

    Maybe not, as you are too stupid.


    Is there any finite set of finite strings of ASCII digits that
    cannot be
    summed by a TM? No, therefore computability is proven.


    But summing isn't the only operation that a TM can do.

    That there is never any countability issue in the computing mapping of
    one arbitrary finite set of inputs to its corresponding finite set of
    outputs with any computation at all proves that there is no such issue
    for summing or halt status detection.

    So you are claiming that proof by example is true, that if one example
    out of a set is true, the statement is true for all?

    The fact that ONE machine can be counted, doesn't mean that all can be.


    If X always works then X always works with Y or Z.

    So if this statement is true, you are a Hypocritical Pathological Lying Idiot.


    As always when you run out of reasoning you resort to ad hominem because gullible fools will take ad hominem as rebuttal. Ad hominem makes you
    look quite foolish to anyone accustomed to academic decorum.

    There can be no countability issue with computing the mapping
    from a finite set of finite string inputs to their corresponding output
    for any arbitrary finite string inputs or computation.

    A counter-example is categorically impossible.
    Try and show any finite set of finite strings that cannot be summed.

    That statement must be true, because it only makes an assurtion if it is true,

    Thus you ARE a Hypocritical Pathological Lying Idiot.

    You are just proving you like to make all the mistakes that history has
    found in logic, because you refuse to learn from it.



    You are just proving you are totally ignorant of what you are talking
    about.

    No, I am showing you are using invalid logic.

    Your statement is only true if you assume it to be true, and use it as
    one of your truth makers that can make it true. This is not an allowed operation, as if you do, then you get that exact same arguement I was using.

    So, *IF* you want to say your argument is valid, you *MUST& accept that
    mine is too, and thus you are what I said.

    The fact that you don't get it, might say my results are valid anyway independent of validity of the statement.

    In looking at your connection to truth makers view, X reaches back to
    some base truth makers, but also links back to itself. This leads to an infinite loop in the connection logic, where there is always a piece of
    the connection not connected to things alreayd known to be truth makers,
    so the statement has never been established as True, which requires that
    ALL neccessary premises for the statement be connected to know truth makers.

    This is the flaw of you thinking you work backwards from the premise to
    the truth makers, you can decieve yourself with such a loop, thinking it
    has been established, when it is just a floating island of unsupported
    logic. If you start at the Truth Makers, you can't run into this
    problem, as you never had the presumptive statement available to
    incorrectly use.


    There can be no countability issue with computing the mapping
    from a finite set of finite string inputs to their corresponding output
    for any arbitrary finite string inputs or computation.

    ??? I don't think you know what you are saying here.


    A counter-example is categorically impossible.
    Try and show any finite set of finite strings that cannot be summed.

    Maybe, because you are saying something meaningless, just a bunch of
    word salad.

    The counting arguement is comparing the number of POSSIBLE Turing
    Machines which could be deciders, which is a countable infinity, because
    every Turing Machine can be encoded into a unique finite string, which
    can be an treated as the encoding of a number.

    The other set, is the set of all functions that might need to be
    decided. This would be the set of all the mappings from the Natural
    Numbers (reperesenting the string inputs to a decider) to all possible combinations of 0 and 1. This set is an uncountable infinite. (The count
    of finite subsets isn't enough, as that would requre that the number of
    1's (or 0's) in the map be finite, but there are an uncountable infinite
    number of maps with an infinite number of 0 outputs and 1 outputs.

    So, the output set that we are looking at is NOT comparable to the
    finite subset concept.

    A counter-example to my reasoning does not exist.


    Nope, I have given it.

    “Analytic” sentences, such as “Pediatricians are doctors,” have historically been characterized as ones that are true by virtue of the meanings of their words alone and/or can be known to be so solely by
    knowing those meanings. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/analytic-synthetic/

    Right, and a sentence that depends on its own truth value (like if H
    returns the right value ...) are proved to be able to lead to
    cotradictipons.


    This is correctly paraphrased as

    Analytical truth is the connection from an expression X of formal or
    natural language L using truth preserving operations to expressions of L
    that have been stipulated to be true.

    Right, and you can not create such a chain to the statement you are making.


    We know that cat are animals is true entirely on the basis of the
    meaning of the words. The meaning of words are expressions of L that
    have been stipulated to be true.

    So. Red Herring. Means nothing about the error of using a statement that references its own truth.

    Your statement that H can do xxx if H correctly decides yyy is a
    statement of the class that has been proven to lead to logical paradoxes.

    Such a statement can never be actually connected to previously accepted
    truth makers unless you can prove INDEPENDENTLY of that statement that H
    does give a correct decision.

    The fact that we know, by definition, that H(D,D) must be 1 to be
    correct if D(D) halts, and that if H(D,D) is 0 that D(D) will halt (and
    thus by the previosu rule, it is incorrect), we can prove that H(D,D)
    returing 0 for this D is INCORRECT, and thus your statement that assumes
    it is correct is in error.

    As I have said, until you can show that main -> D(D) -> H(D,D) somehow
    can give a different result than main -> H(D,D) while still having
    H(D,D) be the required pure function/computation, you are just admitting
    you claim is just a hypocritical pathogical idiotic lie.



    There can be no countability issue with computing the mapping
    from a finite set of finite string inputs to their corresponding output
    for any arbitrary finite string inputs or computation.

    ??? I don't think you know what you are saying here.


    A counter-example is categorically impossible.
    Try and show any finite set of finite strings that cannot be summed.

    Maybe, because you are saying something meaningless, just a bunch of
    word salad.


    If there is a countability issue with calculating the sum of arbitrary
    finite sets of finite strings of ASCII digits that prevented a correct
    sum from being calculated then there would be an element of this set
    that cannot be summed.

    No, you don't understand countability, and are trying to apply it to a
    Red Herring. You seem to think that "Computation" == "Sum", which is
    just a proof of your ignorance.


    Not being able to count all of the sets of finite strings to be summed
    in no way prevents any element of the sets of finite strings from being correctly summed, thus has no impact on computability.


    It isn't the set of finite strings that is uncountable, it is the set of mappings every finite string individualy to 0 or 1 that is uncountable.

    The number of Accept/Reject Mapping functions over Turing
    Machines/Inputs is an order of infinity larger (it is uncountably
    infinte) than the number of Turing Machines that could be built (a
    countable infinity) to try to decide them, thus not all of these
    mappings can be created by a Turing Machine.

    As long as a TM can correctly determine the sum of any arbitrary finite
    set of finite strings of ASCII digits then sum is computable.



    Which is a Red Herring as no one is talking about "summing" being non-computable, so the fact that you keep bringing it up just shows you
    are too stupid to see your ignorance.

    one arbitrary finite set of inputs to its corresponding finite set of >>>>>> outputs with any computation at all proves that there is no such
    issue
    for summing or halt status detection.

    So you are claiming that proof by example is true, that if one
    example out of a set is true, the statement is true for all?

    The fact that ONE machine can be counted, doesn't mean that all can
    be.


    If X always works then X always works with Y or Z.

    So if this statement is true, you are a Hypocritical Pathological
    Lying Idiot.


    As always when you run out of reasoning you resort to ad hominem
    because
    gullible fools will take ad hominem as rebuttal. Ad hominem makes
    you look quite foolish to anyone accustomed to academic decorum.

    No, I am showing you are using invalid logic.

    Your statement is only true if you assume it to be true, and use it
    as one of your truth makers that can make it true.  This is not an
    allowed operation, as if you do, then you get that exact same
    arguement I was using.

    So, *IF* you want to say your argument is valid, you *MUST& accept
    that mine is too, and thus you are what I said.

    The fact that you don't get it, might say my results are valid anyway
    independent of validity of the statement.

    In looking at your connection to truth makers view, X reaches back to
    some base truth makers, but also links back to itself. This leads to
    an infinite loop in the connection logic, where there is always a
    piece of the connection not connected to things alreayd known to be
    truth makers, so the statement has never been established as True,
    which requires that ALL neccessary premises for the statement be
    connected to know truth makers.

    This is the flaw of you thinking you work backwards from the premise
    to the truth makers, you can decieve yourself with such a loop,
    thinking it has been established, when it is just a floating island
    of unsupported logic. If you start at the Truth Makers, you can't run
    into this problem, as you never had the presumptive statement
    available to incorrectly use.


    A counter-example to my reasoning does not exist.


    Nope, I have given it.

    “Analytic” sentences, such as “Pediatricians are doctors,” have
    historically been characterized as ones that are true by virtue of the
    meanings of their words alone and/or can be known to be so solely by
    knowing those meanings.
    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/analytic-synthetic/

    Right, and a sentence that depends on its own truth value (like if H
    returns the right value ...) are proved to be able to lead to
    cotradictipons.


    This is correctly paraphrased as

    Analytical truth is the connection from an expression X of formal or
    natural language L using truth preserving operations to expressions of L
    that have been stipulated to be true.

    Right, and you can not create such a chain to the statement you are making.


    We know that cat are animals is true entirely on the basis of the
    meaning of the words. The meaning of words are expressions of L that
    have been stipulated to be true.

    So. Red Herring. Means nothing about the error of using a statement that references its own truth.

    Your statement that H can do xxx if H correctly decides yyy is a
    statement of the class that has been proven to lead to logical paradoxes.

    Such a statement can never be actually connected to previously accepted
    truth makers unless you can prove INDEPENDENTLY of that statement that H
    does give a correct decision.

    The fact that we know, by definition, that H(D,D) must be 1 to be
    correct if D(D) halts,

    *Changing the subject away from the following is a dishonest dodge*

    When the first seven instructions of D are correctly simulated by H it
    can be seen that the simulated D would never stop running unless aborted
    by H.

    If there is a countability issue with calculating the sum of arbitrary
    finite sets of finite strings of ASCII digits that prevented a correct
    sum from being calculated then there would be an element of this set
    that cannot be summed.

    No, you don't understand countability, and are trying to apply it to a
    Red Herring. You seem to think that "Computation" == "Sum", which is
    just a proof of your ignorance.


    Not being able to count all of the sets of finite strings to be summed
    in no way prevents any element of the sets of finite strings from being
    correctly summed, thus has no impact on computability.


    It isn't the set of finite strings that is uncountable, it is the set of mappings every finite string individualy to 0 or 1 that is uncountable.


    You are restricting the set of natural number sums to 1 and 0?

    Sum does not map every set of finite strings of ASCII digits to the
    sum of these ASCII digit finite strings. It need not do that.

    Sum maps *ARBITRARY ELEMENTS* of the *FINITE* sets of finite strings of
    ASCII digits to their corresponding sum.

    The number of Accept/Reject Mapping functions over Turing
    Machines/Inputs is an order of infinity larger (it is uncountably
    infinte) than the number of Turing Machines that could be built  (a countable infinity) to try to decide them, thus not all of these
    mappings can be created by a Turing Machine.

    As long as a TM can correctly determine the sum of any arbitrary finite
    set of finite strings of ASCII digits then sum is computable.



    Which is a Red Herring as no one is talking about "summing" being non-computable, so the fact that you keep bringing it up just shows you
    are too stupid to see your ignorance.

    The same reasoning applies to halt deciders.
    As long as a halt decider H correctly maps an arbitrary finite string
    pair input to 1 or 0 on the basis of the behavior of its correct
    simulation of this input then H is correct.

    You are restricting the set of natural number sums to 1 and 0?

    No, I am restricting the output of a decider to accept or reject.

    The set of mappings (functions) of N -> N is also an uncountable set,
    but that just shows that not all functions on the Natural Numbers are computable. Showing that not a decision functions are computable is a
    stronger statement.


    Sum does not map every set of finite strings of ASCII digits to the
    sum of these ASCII digit finite strings. It need not do that.

    Why do you keep talking about Sum" That is just Herring with Red sauce.


    Sum maps *ARBITRARY ELEMENTS* of the *FINITE* sets of finite strings of
    ASCII digits to their corresponding sum.

    So, Herring with Red Sauce. You are just proving you are avoiding the
    ACTUAL question because you know you can't handle it.


    The number of Accept/Reject Mapping functions over Turing
    Machines/Inputs is an order of infinity larger (it is uncountably

    Which is a Red Herring as no one is talking about "summing" being
    non-computable, so the fact that you keep bringing it up just shows

    The same reasoning applies to halt deciders.
    As long as a halt decider H correctly maps an arbitrary finite string
    pair input to 1 or 0 on the basis of the behavior of its correct
    simulation of this input then H is correct.


    Except the if it DOES a correct simultaion, then it doesn't stop a
    non-halting input and doesn't give an answer.

    You are making the same error I have been pointiong out, if you make
    your answer conditional on other copies of your machine given the
    correct answer, the you are using the same invalid logic that would make
    the sentence:

    If this sentence is true, then Peter Olcott is a Hypocritical
    Pathological Lying Ignorant Idiot.

    Show that you ARE a Hypocritical Pathological Lying Ignorant Idiiot.
    (That result might come from other logic too).

    It is invalid logic for a statement to assert something based on the
    statements on truth. As a logic system that allows such a atatement is instantly inconsistent as shown by Curry's Paradox.

    Your reasoning is thus flawed, as you have fallen into Curry's Paradox,
    by making your statement only true if it is first true.

    This is the flaw of you thinking you work backwards from the

    loop, thinking it has been established, when it is just a floating

    can't run into this problem, as you never had the presumptive

    A counter-example to my reasoning does not exist.


    Nope, I have given it.

    Right, and a sentence that depends on its own truth value (like if H
    returns the right value ...) are proved to be able to lead to
    cotradictipons.


    This is correctly paraphrased as

    Analytical truth is the connection from an expression X of formal or
    natural language L using truth preserving operations to expressions
    of L
    that have been stipulated to be true.

    Right, and you can not create such a chain to the statement you are
    making.


    We know that cat are animals is true entirely on the basis of the
    meaning of the words. The meaning of words are expressions of L that
    have been stipulated to be true.

    So. Red Herring. Means nothing about the error of using a statement
    that references its own truth.

    Your statement that H can do xxx if H correctly decides yyy is a
    statement of the class that has been proven to lead to logical
    paradoxes.

    Such a statement can never be actually connected to previously
    accepted truth makers unless you can prove INDEPENDENTLY of that
    statement that H does give a correct decision.

    No, you don't understand countability, and are trying to apply it to
    a Red Herring. You seem to think that "Computation" == "Sum", which
    is just a proof of your ignorance.


    Not being able to count all of the sets of finite strings to be summed >>>> in no way prevents any element of the sets of finite strings from being >>>> correctly summed, thus has no impact on computability.


    It isn't the set of finite strings that is uncountable, it is the set
    of mappings every finite string individualy to 0 or 1 that is
    uncountable.


    You are restricting the set of natural number sums to 1 and 0?

    No, I am restricting the output of a decider to accept or reject.

    The set of mappings (functions) of N -> N is also an uncountable set,
    but that just shows that not all functions on the Natural Numbers are computable. Showing that not a decision functions are computable is a stronger statement.


    Sum does not map every set of finite strings of ASCII digits to the
    sum of these ASCII digit finite strings. It need not do that.

    Why do you keep talking about Sum" That is just Herring with Red sauce.


    We can transform sum into a simple decider.
    A TM decider takes a space delimited finite list of finite strings of
    ASCII digits: [0123456789]+ such that the first string is the sum of the remaining elements. Each element of the list is delimited by a
    single space. The last element is marked by four trailing spaces.

    IS_SUM computes the sum and compares this computed sum to the first
    element on this list. IS_SUM accepts or rejects its input on the basis
    that the computed == the first element of its finite list of finite
    strings.

    IS_SUM need not compute the mapping from every set of finite strings to
    its accept or reject state, it only needs to compute the mapping from
    any arbitrary element of the finite sets of finite strings of ASCII
    digits.

    Yes, you can build SOME Deciders from a Sumation.

    Not All Deciders can be built from a Sumation.

    You just don't understand the basics of category theory, and just fall

    Just because one subset of a set happens to have a property doesn't mean
    that property applies to the whole class.

    Please show how to build is_busy_beaver from a summation machine.

    You are restricting the set of natural number sums to 1 and 0?

    No, I am restricting the output of a decider to accept or reject.

    The set of mappings (functions) of N -> N is also an uncountable set,
    but that just shows that not all functions on the Natural Numbers are
    computable. Showing that not a decision functions are computable is a
    stronger statement.


    Sum does not map every set of finite strings of ASCII digits to the
    sum of these ASCII digit finite strings. It need not do that.

    Why do you keep talking about Sum" That is just Herring with Red sauce.


    We can transform sum into a simple decider.
    A TM decider takes a space delimited finite list of finite strings of
    ASCII digits: [0123456789]+ such that the first string is the sum of the
    remaining elements. Each element of the list is delimited by a
    single space. The last element is marked by four trailing spaces.

    IS_SUM computes the sum and compares this computed sum to the first
    element on this list. IS_SUM accepts or rejects its input on the basis
    that the computed == the first element of its finite list of finite
    strings.

    IS_SUM need not compute the mapping from every set of finite strings to
    its accept or reject state, it only needs to compute the mapping from
    any arbitrary element of the finite sets of finite strings of ASCII
    digits.



    Yes, you can build SOME Deciders from a Sumation.

    Not All Deciders can be built from a Sumation.


    One TM is *ALL* deciders.

    You just don't understand the basics of category theory, and just fall
    into the fallacy of Proof by Example.

    Just because one subset of a set happens to have a property doesn't mean
    that property applies to the whole class.


    Try and provide a single counter-example where IS_SUM gets the wrong answer.

    If there are no counter-examples that prove that IS_SUM gets the wrong
    answer then this logically entails that IS_SUM always gets the correct
    answer.

    Can you PROVE that this is doable?

    Remember, there are more mappings from Turing Machies/Inputs to
    decisions than possible deciders, so most mappings are not computabe.

    You have NOT countered this statement, just lied about it.

    You need to actually shwo that it is.

    You have failed to answer any of my questions, which just shwos that you
    don't have an answer.

    What, that you can count to 1 Turing Machine, (That you have shown you
    don't even know how to make yoursef) says that you can talk about what
    all possible Turing Machines do?

    Saying there isn't a countability problem doesn't make it so. Since each "change" you make creates a new Turing Machine, and there are only a
    countable infinte number of changes you can make, you can only modify
    them to answer a countably infinite number of mappings.

    Since there are a uncountable infinte number of mappings possible, that
    is the counting arguement, you haven't shown how you over come the
    Pigeon Hole principle.

    Maybe this says that the Pigeon is smarter than you.

    So????


    We aren't talking about IS_SUM being non-computable, we are talking
    about most of the uncountable infinte number of possible mappings being uncountable.


    Do you even know what is meant by "a mapping"?

    ONE Turing Machine, ONE Mapping of input to output.

    Countable infinite possible Turing Machine, can generate a countable
    infinte number of possible mappings.

    The actual number of possible mappings is an UNCOUNTABLE infinite, thus
    most of the possible mappings are not computed by any Turing Machine.

    We can change IS_SUM to allow any arbitrary finite set of finite
    string
    inputs. If any of these finite strings contains a character that
    is not
    an ASCII digit then IS_SUM rejects, otherwise IS_SUM is as it was
    previously specified.

    Ok, how do you use IS_SUM to answer the IS_PRIME question?


    IS_PRIME would have a single finite string of ASCII digits as its
    only input and you already know this is computable.

    IS_SUM takes the countably infinite number of inputs

    IS_SUM takes a finite set of finite string inputs
    IS_SUM takes a finite set of finite string inputs
    IS_SUM takes a finite set of finite string inputs
    IS_SUM takes a finite set of finite string inputs
    IS_SUM takes a finite set of finite string inputs

    And computes ONE mapping, out of the uncountable infinte many
    mappings of strings -> the set of answers for each input.
    IS_SUM need not ever count any uncountable set. All that IS_SUM must
    do is compute each mapping that it is presented with, one finite set
    of finite strings at a time.



    So????


    We aren't talking about IS_SUM being non-computable,

    Then the "you" of "we" is off topic. Countability was supposed to be an alternate proof that halting is undecidable.

    No, you are just using the fallacy of the Red Herring, because you

    How does your "IS_SUM" machine answer both the question of "is 8 the sum

    you are defininig IS_SUM to be, not sure what else you mean, sometime it

    Note, these two question both take the SAME input (8), but have
    different outputs,

    For IS_SUM_OF_PRIMES, the answer is yes, because 8 = 3 + 5

    For IS_PERFECT, the answer is no, because 8 has factors to 1, 2, 4 which

    IS_SUM determines if its first finite string of ASCII digits is the sum
    of its remaining finite list of finite strings of ASCII digits. Maybe
    you need to take notes. There is also an adaptation of IS_SUM that takes arbitrary finite strings.


    Note, these two question both take the SAME input (8), but have

    One decision problem per TM. A finite number of different decision
    problems could be selected for computation by a single TM when the
    ordinal number of the decision problem is the first input parameter.

    Every decision problem that operates on a finite set of finite strings
    is not uncomputable for any countability reasons.

    The most straight forward to validate the Goldbach Conjecture is to
    simply test every element of the set of natural numbers. Since this is
    not a finite list of inputs it is not computable. Mathematical induction
    can be used to algorithmically compress the analysis of some infinite
    sets. https://www.britannica.com/science/Goldbach-conjecture

    IS_SUM takes the countably infinite number of inputs

    IS_SUM takes a finite set of finite string inputs
    IS_SUM takes a finite set of finite string inputs
    IS_SUM takes a finite set of finite string inputs
    IS_SUM takes a finite set of finite string inputs
    IS_SUM takes a finite set of finite string inputs

    And computes ONE mapping, out of the uncountable infinte many
    mappings of strings -> the set of answers for each input.
    IS_SUM need not ever count any uncountable set. All that IS_SUM
    must do is compute each mapping that it is presented with, one
    finite set of finite strings at a time.



    So????


    We aren't talking about IS_SUM being non-computable,

    Then the "you" of "we" is off topic. Countability was supposed to
    be an alternate proof that halting is undecidable.

    Right, countablility of mappings.

    The computability of a single mapping show nothing about the
    countability arguement.

    No one says that NO mappings are computable, just that most are not.


    No one can show even one mapping of a finite set of string inputs to
    IS_SUM that is not computable, thus the conclusion that there are more
    than one counter-example is totally refuted.

    ????

    You seem to think that is_sum computes multiple mappings.

    *A* mapping, as being talked about here, is a complete listing of the
    required output for every possible input.

    IS_SUM computes *ONE* mapping of input to output.

    Yes, it can computer the


    You clearly don't understand categorical logic.


    Categorically exhaustive reasoning is my key innovation it utterly
    eliminates the error of omission.

    No, it is your key fallicy. You seem to think that a detail analysis
    of one case tells you all you need about every case that you don't
    look at.

    That is just



    If it is impossible to show as many as a single counter-example then we
    can correctly generalize this to say that more than one counter example
    also does not exist.

    No, you are just using the fallacy of the Red Herring, because you
    demand a counter-example of something that isn't the problem.


    If no counter example can be provided that a decision problem is
    undecidable then this proves that it is decidable.

    I HAVE given couter examples, you are just too stupid to understand them;

    Your problem is you are stuck in your Herring with Red sauce and are
    forgetting what the actual problem is.


    How does your "IS_SUM" machine answer both the question of "is 8 the
    sum of two primes?" and "is 8 a perfect number?" (assuming the first
    is what you are defininig IS_SUM to be, not sure what else you mean,
    sometime it seems like IS_SUM is computing the sum of two numbers give
    to is, which isn't an "IS" question.


    IS_SUM determines if its first finite string of ASCII digits is the sum
    of its remaining finite list of finite strings of ASCII digits. Maybe
    you need to take notes. There is also an adaptation of IS_SUM that takes arbitrary finite strings.

    I don't remember you ever defining IS_SUM, and that definition is one of
    the most worthless deciders possible.

    So, how can you use IS_SUM to compute the mapping of IS_PRIME.



    Note, these two question both take the SAME input (8), but have
    different outputs,

    For IS_SUM_OF_PRIMES, the answer is yes, because 8 = 3 + 5

    For IS_PERFECT, the answer is no, because 8 has factors to 1, 2, 4
    which only total to 7, not 8.

    You claim same machine, in is the same, output will be the same, thus
    must give the wrong answer to one of them.

    One decision problem per TM. A finite number of different decision
    problems could be selected for computation by a single TM when the
    ordinal number of the decision problem is the first input parameter.

    So, you totally don't understand the argument.

    YES, one decision problem per TM

    There are only a countable infinite number of TMs

    There are an UNCOUNTABLE infinite number of decision problems.

    Thus, not all decision problems can be computable.


    Every decision problem that operates on a finite set of finite strings
    is not uncomputable for any countability reasons.

    How do you answ3er an uncountable number of problems with only a
    countable number of machines?

    You don't seem to understand the question, my guess is you are just too
    stupid.


    The most straight forward to validate the Goldbach Conjecture is to
    simply test every element of the set of natural numbers. Since this is
    not a finite list of inputs it is not computable. Mathematical induction
    can be used to algorithmically compress the analysis of some infinite
    sets. https://www.britannica.com/science/Goldbach-conjecture


    But you need to find an induction pattern that does compress it. Not all infinte patterns can be shown with induction.



    Again, your use of the fallacy of proof by example.
