    Halting problem undecidability and infinitely nested simulation (V3)

    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.

    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 the correct simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H possibly transition
    to ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn ?

    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⟩...

    The above repeating pattern shows that the correctly simulated input to embedded_H would never reach its final state of ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn conclusively proving that this simulated input never halts. This enables embedded_H
    to abort its simulation and correctly transition to Ĥ.qn.

    Because all simulating halt deciders are deciders they are only
    accountable for computing the mapping from their input finite strings to
    an accept or reject state on the basis of whether or not their correctly simulated input could ever reach its final state: ⟨Ĥ⟩⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn.

    embedded_H is only accountable for the behavior of its correctly
    simulated input: ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩. embedded_H is not accountable for the behavior
    of the computation that it is contained within: Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ because is it not actual input to embedded_H.

    It covers the case that had previously been considered to be proof that
    the halting problem is undecidable. That is all that I need to refute
    these proofs.

    You need to prove a theorem: There is a finite set of patterns such
    that every Turing machine either halts or matches one of these
    patterns.

    But I feel sure that theorem is not true.

    To solve the halting problem my program must be all knowing. To refute
    the proofs I merely need to show that their counter-example can be
    proved to never halt.

    And you just ignore the fact that if H applied to <H^> <H^> goes to
    H.Qn, then by construction H^ <H^> goes to H^.Qn, and halts, and since
    H, to be an accurate Halt Decider, must only go to H,Qn if the machine
    its input represents will never halt. They you also don't seem to
    understand that the computaton that <H^> <H^> represents IS H^ applied
    to <H^>. So, H was just wrong.

    So, you haven't actually proved the thing you claim youhave, but only
    that you have amassed an amazing pile of unsound logic based on wrong definitions that have hoodwinked yourself into thinking you have shown something useful.

    You are so good at doing this that you have gaslighted yourself so you
    can't actually understand what actual Truth is.

    WRONG.

    If embedded_H DOES an infinite number of steps and doesn't reach a

    When embedded_H matches this infinite pattern in the same three
    iterations:

    Then these steps would keep repeating:

    enters a final state. (Linz:1990:234)


    OK, so the only computatiopn that you show that does not halt is H, so H
    can not be a decider.

    In the above example embedded_H simulates three iterations of nested
    simulation to match the infinitely nested simulation pattern.
    In reality it needs less than this to match this pattern.

    Except that if H/embedded_H aborts its simulation and goes to H.Qn,
    then the CORRECT simulation of its input (that done by a REAL UTM)
    will show that it will go to H^.Qn.

    All you have proven is that if H doesn't abort, and thus doesn't go
    to H.Qn, and thus fails to be a correct decider, then H^ applied to
    <H^> is non-halting.

    You keep on thinking that a simulation that aborts its simulation is
    a 'correct' simulation. By the definition in Computation Theory, this
    is not true. If you think it is, it just proves that you don't
    understand the field.

    FAIL.

    If we know that we have a black cat then we know that we have a cat.

    Except that if you DON'T have a black cat but think you do then you
    are wrong. If H aborts its simulation, it isn't a UTM and doesn't
    'correctly' simulate.


    If we know that we have a sequence of configurations that cannot
    possibly ever reach its final state then we know that we have a
    non-halting sequence of configurations.


    Except that is has been PROVEN that if H -> H.Qn then the pattern
    WILL reach the final state.

    The fact that H can't ever reach that state proves just proves that
    if H is a UTM, which don't abort, then H^ will be non-halting, but H
    is still wrong for not answering. If H does abort, then it hasn't
    proven anything, and it has been proven that it is wrong.

    FAIL

    You are either not bright enough to get this or dishonest.
    I don't care which, I need to up my game to computer scientists.


    So, can't refute what I say so you go to arguing by insults, classic
    Olcott logical fallicy.


    Fundamentally you seem to lack the intellectual capacity to understand
    what I am saying. This is proven on the basis that what I am saying can
    be verified as true entirely on the basis of the meaning of its words.

    Face it, you are just WRONG about your assertions, maybe because you
    just don't know the field, so don't have any idea what is legal or not.

    Also note, you keep talking about needing 'Computer Scientists' to understand, that is really incorrect, you need to be able to explain it
    to someone who understands Computation Theory, which is a fairly
    specialized branch of Mathematics. Yes, it is part of the foundation of Computer Science, but isn't the sort of thing that a normal Computer Scientist will deal with day to day.

    I need someone to analyze what I am saying on the deep meaning of what I
    am saying instead of mere rote memorized meanings from textbooks.

    The key mistake that my reviewers are making is that they believe that
    the halt decider is supposed to evaluate its input on the basis of some
    proxy for the actual behavior of this actual input rather than the
    actual behavior specified by this actual input.

    If the 'actual behavior' of the input <H^> <H^> is not the

    Halting Problem.


    If it is true that the simulated input to embedded_H cannot

    Except that if H/embedded_H aborts its simulation and goes to H.Qn,
    then the CORRECT simulation of its input (that done by a REAL UTM)
    will show that it will go to H^.Qn.

    All you have proven is that if H doesn't abort, and thus doesn't go
    to H.Qn, and thus fails to be a correct decider, then H^ applied to
    <H^> is non-halting.

    You keep on thinking that a simulation that aborts its simulation
    is a 'correct' simulation. By the definition in Computation Theory,
    this is not true. If you think it is, it just proves that you don't
    understand the field.

    FAIL.

    Except that if you DON'T have a black cat but think you do then you
    are wrong. If H aborts its simulation, it isn't a UTM and doesn't
    'correctly' simulate.


    If we know that we have a sequence of configurations that cannot
    possibly ever reach its final state then we know that we have a
    non-halting sequence of configurations.


    Except that is has been PROVEN that if H -> H.Qn then the pattern
    WILL reach the final state.

    The fact that H can't ever reach that state proves just proves that
    if H is a UTM, which don't abort, then H^ will be non-halting, but
    H is still wrong for not answering. If H does abort, then it hasn't
    proven anything, and it has been proven that it is wrong.

    FAIL

    You are either not bright enough to get this or dishonest.
    I don't care which, I need to up my game to computer scientists.


    So, can't refute what I say so you go to arguing by insults, classic
    Olcott logical fallicy.


    Fundamentally you seem to lack the intellectual capacity to understand
    what I am saying. This is proven on the basis that what I am saying
    can be verified as true entirely on the basis of the meaning of its
    words.

    Except that it has been shown that you keep on using the WRONG
    definitions of the words.

    A UTM can NEVER abort its simulation as BY DEFINITION, a UTM EXACTLY repoduces the behavior of its input (so if it is non-halting, so will
    the UTM). Also you think that there can be a 'Correct Simulation' by something that is NOT actully a UTM.

    Care to show anywhere where your misdefinitions are support in the field
    fo Computation Theory.

    That just PROVES that you aren't actually working on the Halting Problem
    of Computation Theory.


    Face it, you are just WRONG about your assertions, maybe because you
    just don't know the field, so don't have any idea what is legal or not.

    Also note, you keep talking about needing 'Computer Scientists' to
    understand, that is really incorrect, you need to be able to explain
    it to someone who understands Computation Theory, which is a fairly
    specialized branch of Mathematics. Yes, it is part of the foundation
    of Computer Science, but isn't the sort of thing that a normal
    Computer Scientist will deal with day to day.

    I need someone to analyze what I am saying on the deep meaning of what
    I am saying instead of mere rote memorized meanings from textbooks.

    No, you need to learn that words have PRECISE meanings, and you aren't allowed to change them, no mwtter how much it 'makes sense' to do so.


    The key mistake that my reviewers are making is that they believe that
    the halt decider is supposed to evaluate its input on the basis of
    some proxy for the actual behavior of this actual input rather than
    the actual behavior specified by this actual input.



    Just proves you aren't working on the Halting Problem, as the DEFINITION
    of the Halting problems says that it is, because you don't actually understand the meaning of 'actual behavior'.

    From Linz, H applied to wM w needs to go to H.Qy IFF M applied to w
    halts, and to H,Qn if M applied to w will never halt.


    If you are supposed to report when Bill arrives at your house and Sam
    arrives at you house and you really really believe that Sam's arrival is
    a valid proxy for Bill's arrival then when I ask you did Bill arrive at
    your house? you say "yes" even though correct the answer is "no".

    When we have a sequence of configurations that can not possibly reach
    their final state then we have a non-halting sequence because any an all sequences of configurations that cannot reach their final state are
    defined to be non-halting in the same way that a cat is defined to be an animal. If you disagree that a cat is an animal you are simply wrong.

    Refuting the halting problem proofs is only a sideline of mine, my
    actual goal is to mathematically formalize the notion of truth. This establishes the anchor for Davidson's truth conditional semantics.

    If that was true then someone could point to a mistake.
    My refutation of the halting problem proofs is isomorphic to Tarski's undefinability theorem and Gödel's 1931 Incompleteness theorem, refuting
    all three with essentially the same reasoning.

    Just proves you aren't working on the Halting Problem, as the

    don't actually understand the meaning of 'actual behavior'.

    From Linz, H applied to wM w needs to go to H.Qy IFF M applied to w

    If you are supposed to report when Bill arrives at your house and

    arrival is a valid proxy for Bill's arrival then when I ask you did
    Bill arrive at your house? you say "yes" even though correct the
    answer is "no".

    You really like to make you Herrings Red, don't you.

    REMEMBER, the DEFINTION of a Halt Decider is that H applied to wM w
    is based on the behavior of M applied to w.

    YOU are the one making the wrong report.

    When anyone in the universe defines something besides the actual
    behavior specified by the input to embedded_H as the only correct halt
    status criterion measure that might as well say that cats are not
    animals.



    Just shows your problem in comprehension, doesn't it. You just refuse to accept the definition because it doesn't match your idea of what you need.

    Note, 'The Actual Behavior specifeid by the input' IS precisly defined,
    and it IS the behavior that the input specifes, The input to the decider
    is the description of a computation, and the actual behavior sepecified
    by the input is by defintion the behavior of that computation that the
    input describes.

    YOU are the one that wants to change it to not be the behavior specified
    by the input, but the behavior of the program that is processing the
    input. YOUR definition of the behavior has the problem that the behavior
    is no longer just specified by 'the input' but is also a function of
    what program you give that input to.

    Your logic is just not sound, and sometimes I wonder how sound your mind
    is.

    This statement of your just shows how you have lost touch with the
    reality of the situation. You seem to think the Univese must be wrong
    because it doesn't match your expectations. THAT is a sign of mental
    illness.

    FAIL.

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

    If embedded_H correctly matches this pattern
    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⟩...

    In three iterations or less then this indicates that a UTM at Ĥ.qx
    simulating ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ would never reach ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn.

    This means that a correct pure simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ never reaches its
    final state of ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn thus ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ specifies a sequence of configurations that never halt.

    At this point after the above infinite behavior pattern has been matched
    in a finite number of steps then embedded_H stops its simulation and transitions to Ĥ.qn.
