    No, but apparently you can't understand actual English words.

    The INPUT to H is <H^> <H^> but the CORRECT ANSWER that H must
    give is based on the behavior of H^ applied to <H^> BECAUSE OF
    THE DEFINITION of H.

    In other words Sum(3,5) must return the value of Sum(7,8)?

    Don't know how you get that from what I said.


    Any moron knows that a function is only accountable for its actual >>>>>> inputs.


    And the actual input to H is <H^> <H^> which MEANS by the
    DEFINITION of the Halting Problem that H is being asked to decide
    on the Halting Status of H^ applied to <H^>
    No that is not it. That is like saying "by definition" Sum(3,5) is
    being asked about Sum(7,8).

    Again your RED HERRING.

    H is being asked EXACTLY what it being asked

    H wM w -> H.Qy if M applied to w Halts, and H.Qn if it doesn't

    AGREED?


    No that is wrong. embedded_H is being asked:
    Can the simulated ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ possibly transition to ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn ?


    If you say 'No', then you aren't doing the halting problem, as the requirement I stated is EXACTLY the requirement of the Halting Problem.

    The halting problem is vague on the definition of halting, it includes
    that a machine has stopped running and that a machine cannot reach its
    final state. My definition only includes the latter.

    The halting problem does not bother to mention the requirement that
    because all halt deciders are deciders they are only accountable for
    computing the mapping from their finite string inputs to an accept or
    reject state on the basis of the actual behavior specified by this input.

    The halting problem does not specifically examine simulating halt
    deciders, none-the-less the behavior of a correctly simulated machine description is known to be equivalent to the behavior of the direct
    execution of this same machine.

    Since a simulating halt decider is merely a UTM for simulated inputs
    that reach their final state when a simulating halt decider correctly determines that its simulated its input cannot possibly reach its final
    state this is complete proof that this simulated input never halts.

    Sounds like a NDTM.

    The Halting Problem has a definite, commonly recognized meaning. It refers to a
    real machine, no ambiguity, no one can change it, not even Linz.
    Your halt-problem is absolutely certain not Linz's, or of any? textbook.
    Your claim contradicts experimental truth. Otherwise, show your x86utm operating
    system proof. I guess you would say xxx thousands pages, I believe there are only few lines are yours. Show your codes.


    You did not even read what I said before you claimed that it was
    incorrect. The general principles that I outlined below directly apply
    to the actual Linz proof:

    If I am incorrect in anything that I said below then the specific error
    could be pointed out.

    The halting problem does not bother to mention the requirement that
    because all halt deciders are deciders they are only accountable for

    Where did Linz mention 'simulation' and 'abort'?

    I have shown how my system directly applies to the actual halting
    problem and it can be understood as correct by anyone that understands
    the halting problem at a much deeper level than rote memorization.

    The following simplifies the syntax for the definition of the Linz
    Turing machine Ĥ, it is now a single machine with a single start state.
    A copy of Linz H is embedded at Ĥ.qx.

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qy ∞
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qn

    Can ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated by embedded_H possibly transition to ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn ? (No means that ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt).

    Again your RED HERRING.

    H is being asked EXACTLY what it being asked

    H wM w -> H.Qy if M applied to w Halts, and H.Qn if it doesn't

    AGREED?


    No that is wrong. embedded_H is being asked:
    Can the simulated ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ possibly transition to ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn ?


    If you say 'No', then you aren't doing the halting problem, as the
    requirement I stated is EXACTLY the requirement of the Halting Problem.

    The halting problem is vague on the definition of halting, it includes
    that a machine has stopped running and that a machine cannot reach its
    final state. My definition only includes the latter.


    No, it is NOT 'Vague', a machine will EITHER stop running because it
    will reach a final state, or it can NEVER reach such a state.

    Please show a machine that doesn't reach its final state but also
    doesn't run forever?

    You seem to think that it is possible for a machine to be in some middle state.

    Please provide an example of such a machine.


    A simulated machine description that specifies an infinite sequence of configurations stops running yet never halts when its simulation has
    been aborted.

    Note, the definition is stated the way it is because a simulator that
    aborts its simulation does NOT indicate either of the cases and does not provide evidence of the Halting state of a computation.


    Can ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated by embedded_H possibly transition to ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn ? (An answer of "no" means that ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ never halts).

    The halting problem does not bother to mention the requirement that
    because all halt deciders are deciders they are only accountable for
    computing the mapping from their finite string inputs to an accept or
    reject state on the basis of the actual behavior specified by this input.

    But if they do not compute the mapping per the definition, they are NOT
    'Halt Deciders', that is your problem, what you are doing is trying to
    define a POOP decider can call it a Halt Decider.


    You keep erroneously believing that embedded_H computes the mapping from
    ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to an accept or reject state on the basis of the behavior of Ĥ
    applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ rather than the actual behavior of its actual input.

    You are not ALLOWED to change the definiton of Halting, when you try, it
    just means you logic is unsound and doesn't prove anything, because it
    si based on a false premise.

    PERIOD.


    I changed nothing. You simply do not know enough of the computer science
    of deciders.

    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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem

    Can ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated by embedded_H possibly transition to ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn ? (An answer of "no" means that ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ never halts).


    The halting problem does not specifically examine simulating halt
    deciders, none-the-less the behavior of a correctly simulated machine
    description is known to be equivalent to the behavior of the direct
    execution of this same machine.

    Right, NON-ABORTED simuluation, and UNSTOPPED execution. So an H that
    aborts or 'debug steps' does NOT prove hon-halting.

    PERIOD.

    FAIL.


    Since a simulating halt decider is merely a UTM for simulated inputs
    that reach their final state when a simulating halt decider correctly
    determines that its simulated its input cannot possibly reach its
    final state this is complete proof that this simulated input never halts.


    No, it is NOT a UTM if it aborts its simulation for ANY reason other
    than the machine reached a final statee.

    Even if it correctly predicts that its input is non-halting, a UTM does
    not abort its simulation, as BY DEFINITION, it behaves the same as the machine it is simulating, so if that is non-halting, then the UTM must
    be too.


    I rewrote this. embedded_H <is> a UTM for all inputs that eventually
    transition to their final state.

    Linz H is defined as simulating halt decider that bases its halt status decision on whether or not its correct simulation of its input could
    ever reach the final state of this simulated input.

    H determines this on the basis of matching infinite behavior patterns.
    When an infinite behavior pattern is matched H aborts its simulation and transitions to its final reject state. Otherwise H transitions to its
    accept state when its simulation ends.

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

    Where did Linz mention 'simulation' and 'abort'?

    I have shown how my system directly applies to the actual halting
    problem and it can be understood as correct by anyone that understands
    the halting problem at a much deeper level than rote memorization.

    The following simplifies the syntax for the definition of the Linz
    Turing machine Ĥ, it is now a single machine with a single start
    state. A copy of Linz H is embedded at Ĥ.qx.

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qy ∞
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qn

    Can ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated by embedded_H possibly transition to
    ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn ?  (No means that ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt).


    But unless embedded_H actually IS a real UTM, that doesn't matter.


    The following is necessarily true on the basis of the meaning of its words:

    When embedded_H correctly recognizes this infinitely repeating behavior pattern:

    When Ĥ is applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩
    Ĥ copies its input ⟨Ĥ1⟩ to ⟨Ĥ2⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ1⟩ ⟨Ĥ2⟩

    Then these steps would keep repeating:
    Ĥ1 copies its input ⟨Ĥ2⟩ to ⟨Ĥ3⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ2⟩ ⟨Ĥ3⟩
    Ĥ2 copies its input ⟨Ĥ3⟩ to ⟨Ĥ4⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ3⟩ ⟨Ĥ4⟩
    Ĥ3 copies its input ⟨Ĥ4⟩ to ⟨Ĥ5⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ4⟩ ⟨Ĥ5⟩...

    Then it is necessary correct for it to abort its simulation and
    transition to Ĥ.qn.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondeterministic_Turing_machine

    It is not a NDTM, a Turing Machine only actually halts when it reaches
    its own final state. People not very familiar with this material may
    get confused and believe that a TM halts when its stops running
    because its simulation has been aborted. This key distinction is not
    typically specified in most halting problem proofs.

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


    Halting problem undecidability and infinitely nested simulation (V3)

    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/358009319_Halting_problem_undecidability_and_infinitely_nested_simulation_V3



    And the point that you seem to miss is that the Turing Machine doesn't
    stop just because some simulation of its representation gave up on
    simulating it.

    And actual Turing machine will continue to run until it his a final
    state or els it will continue to run for an unbounded number of steps.

    Non-Halting can only be show by showing that the actual running of the machine will continue for an unbounded number of steps, not just that
    there is some N that it doesn't stop in.

    Can ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated by embedded_H possibly transition to ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn ? (An answer of "no" means that ⟨Ĥ⟩ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ never halts).
