    So?

    D(D) / Ĥ (Ĥ) still halt since H returns >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> non-halting, thus that answer is wrong for >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the Halting Problem. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Yes, do that, so anyone who actually >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> understand the theory knows from that start >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that you are a crackpot.


    In any case the perfect isomorphism between >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> H/D and embedded_H / ⟨Ĥ⟩ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> already fully proves this point. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Right, so since the Halt Decider must have a >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> defined behavior when given them as an input, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that defined behavior will always be wrong, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> because no matter how you define your H, the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> machines will act the other way.

    Thus as you admitted for the H/D pair also

    Right, but that affect the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> behavior of ALL copies of it, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> since they all act the same. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Do you think you are immortal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> because you haven't died yet, and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that everyone is immortal until >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the point in time they die? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Since it just proves it isn't a >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> UTM, it can't assume that the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> copy it is simulating is, it >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> needs to account for that behavior. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    The fact that the DESIGN logic to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> do this goes into an infinite >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> loop, doesn't mean that the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> program itself does. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Since H aborts its simulation and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> returns 0, its input will see its >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> copy do exactly the same thing >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and thus will Halt, making the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> answer wrong. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Since H isn't a UTM, since if >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fails to meet the defintion, the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fact that it can't reach a final >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> state is irrelevent, as is any >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> definiton of "Correct Simulation" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that differs from what a UTM does. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    UTM(D,D) Halts, therefore the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CORRECT SIMULATION (by a UTM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> which is what is allowed to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> replace the actual behavior of >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the machine) Halts, and thus the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CORRECT answer is Halting. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    You are just showing that you >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> have fallen for your own Strawman >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Deception that got you to use the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> wrong criteria. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> At this point where it aborts >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> its simulation we can see that >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> it must >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> do this to prevent its own >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> infinite execution, thus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> conclusively proving >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that it correctly determined >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that its simulated input cannot >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> possibly >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> terminate normally. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> How much longer are you going to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> play the fool and deny this? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    No, it does so because it has >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> been programmed to do so, and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> thus ALL copies of it will do so. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    It makes the error assuming that >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the copy it is simulating will do >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> something different than it does. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    It makes no error. As you already >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> admitted D correctly simulated by H >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> cannot possibly terminate normally >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> thus its isomorphism of ⟨Ĥ⟩ correctly
    simulated by embedded_H cannot >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> possibly terminate normally. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Are you going to keep playing the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fool on this? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Except that you are answering the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> wrong question. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    In other words you want to keep >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> playing the fool and dodging the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> actual question that I am actually >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> asking. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    No, you are showing yourself to be >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the fool by not understand your own >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> stupidity. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    So you agreed that D correctly >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> simulated H cannot possibly terminate >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> normally and the exact same thing >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> goes for ⟨Ĥ⟩ correctly simulated by >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> embedded_H. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    No, I am saying that H can not >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> correctly simulate the input H and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> give an answer. If H DOES try to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> correctly simulate its input, then it >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> can never giv an answer. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Since you already acknowledged that D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> correctly simulated by H can never >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> terminate normally and you did not >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> need an infinite amount of time to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> determine this then the isomorphic ⟨Ĥ⟩ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> correctly simulated by embedded_H >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> can also be determined to never >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> terminate normally and this >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> determination can be made in a finite >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> amount of time. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    In both cases this can be correctly >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> determined after N steps of >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> simulation thus no need for the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> infinite simulation that you keep >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> insisting is necessary. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


    You keep on LYING about what I said. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any H that gives an answer can not >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Correctly Simulate" this input per the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> definitions that allow simulation to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> replace the behavior of the actual >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> machine.


    Since you already acknowledged that D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> correctly simulated by H cannot >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> possibly terminate normally (hence [key >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> agreement]) and the H/D pair is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> isomorphic to the embedded_H / ⟨Ĥ⟩ pair >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> you contradict yourself. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    So?

    D(D) / Ĥ (Ĥ) still halt since H returns >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> non-halting, thus that answer is wrong >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> for the Halting Problem. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    It only seems wrong because all of the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> textbooks reject simulating >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> halt deciders out-of-hand without review >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> incorrectly assuming that >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> simulation cannot possibly be used as the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> basis of a halt decider: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    No, it is wrong because the question asks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> about the actual machine, and that halts, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> so the right answer is HALTING. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Yet any theory of computation computer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> scientist knows that a simulation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> of N steps by a UTM does provide that actual >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> behavior of the actual >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> input to this UTM.

    Nope, only if the machine reaches a final >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> state in that Nth Step.

    You just don't understand what a UTM is or >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> what it does.


    They also know that when the input to this >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> UTM is defined to have a >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pathological relationship to this UTM that >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this changes the behavior of >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this correctly simulated input. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Nope, a UTM simulation is only correct if it >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> exactly matches the FULL b4ehavior of the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> machine it is looking at. That is its >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DEFINITION.


    Maybe I should begin my paper with this >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> self-evident truth before >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> proceeding to the notion of a simulating >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> halt decider.

    Yes, do that, so anyone who actually >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> understand the theory knows from that start >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that you are a crackpot. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    In any case the perfect isomorphism between >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> H/D and embedded_H / ⟨Ĥ⟩ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> already fully proves this point. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Why, since neither H or embedded_H are >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> actually UTMs, and it is establishied that >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> both of them declare their input to be >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> non-halting when the machine they are given >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the description of Halt. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    *Clearly you are clueless about what the term >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> isomorphism means*
    Both D and ⟨Ĥ⟩ have the exact same form in >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that both D and ⟨Ĥ⟩ attempt to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> do the opposite of whatever their >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> corresponding halt decider determines. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Both of them loop when their halt decider >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> returns {halts} and both halt >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> when their halt decider returns {non-halting}. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Both of them continue to
    call the halt decider in recursive simulation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> until their halt decider
    stops simulating them.
