    Yes it is yet it encompasses all of mathematics and logic.

    As I think back, I now remember on key fact that you are missing.
    Analytic Truth requires Proof in a Finite (or sometimes Enumerable)
    number of proof steps.


    The body of analytic truth is simply a set of true sentences that are
    connected together semantically.

    Mathematics introduces the concept of UnEnumeratable sets and this is
    what breaks the concept of Truth must be Provable. Some things can be
    shown true only by a 'meta-analysis' that looks at an uncountable number
    of Proof Steps, which Analytic Truth can not handle, thus it can
    establish facts that are not Analytically provable.


    This merely requires algorithmic compression. We can know that there is
    no maximum integer without having to actually count to infinity.

    This also shows where you logic breaks down, you have show an inability
    to actually think about things that can become infinite. The problem
    with you H is that it actually needs infinite time to make a valid
    decision, but it needs to make it in a finite time, and thus it fails.


    That makes the utterly moronic assumption that the most intelligent and knowledgeable person in the universe could not possibly spot the
    infinite loop in the code shown below in less then infinite time:

    _Infinite_Loop()
    [00000946](01) 55 push ebp
    [00000947](02) 8bec mov ebp,esp
    [00000949](02) ebfe jmp 00000949 ; right here nitwit
    [0000094b](01) 5d pop ebp
    [0000094c](01) c3 ret
    Size in bytes:(0007) [0000094c]



    It needs to find a value N that is greater than N + k where k > 0, and
    just assumes it can find one, when it doesn't exist.

    Missing out on the details of the infinite leads to Fallacious and
    Invalid Logic, so your proof just FAILS.

    But you can't compress ALL things. Your assupmtion that you can is a
    fallacy. For instance, you assume there must be a finite pattern that H
    can detect in its simulation of <H^> <H^> that correctly indicates that
    the pattern will repeat forever, when I have shown that no such pattern exists, as ANY pattern of N steps that H uses and then goes to H.Qn
    means that there IS a number K > N such that H^ applied to <H^> halts in
    K steps, thus H was wrong.


    This also shows where you logic breaks down, you have show an
    inability to actually think about things that can become infinite.
    The problem with you H is that it actually needs infinite time to
    make a valid decision, but it needs to make it in a finite time, and

    [0000094c](01)  c3              ret
    Size in bytes:(0007) [0000094c]



    Fallacy of proof by example. FAIL.

    That pattern is NOT in H^ applied to <H^>.

    I never claimed that H couldn't detect SOME infinite loops,

    You claimed that H could not correctly report that the above is an in
    finite loop because if H stops simulating it then it is no longer an
    infinite loop.

    just that it
    can not detect an actual infinite loop in H^ applied to <H^> and go to
    H.Qn (for H^ built on that H).


    It needs to find a value N that is greater than N + k where k > 0,
    and just assumes it can find one, when it doesn't exist.

    LIAR.

    I said it could not do it for H^ applied to <H^>

    Shows how much you understand the truth.

    The (allowed) 'pathological self-reference' in H^ <H^> is what defeats
    H here.

    Your REPEATED misquoting of people and misuse of definitions just show
    that YOU are a pathological LIAR and there is no Truth in you. YOU are
    the one destined to be destroyed in the lake of fire to use the
    passage you like to quote.

    This excerpt from this thread is absolutely devastating for Olcott, not

    has.

    Again, the deceptive clipping of quotes.

    You asked me if I agreed your program could do this.
    My answer was I wasn't sure because you have ever actually shown how you
    probram works, or even real proof that it does. My doubts are in your
    ability to program.


    So you agree that it is trivial (once an x86 emulator has been provided)
    to make a program that correctly reports the x86 emulation of the above function would never halt ?

    that no such pattern exists, as ANY pattern of N steps that H uses
    and then goes to H.Qn means that there IS a number K > N such that
    H^ applied to <H^> halts in K steps, thus H was wrong.


    This also shows where you logic breaks down, you have show an
    inability to actually think about things that can become
    infinite. The problem with you H is that it actually needs
    infinite time to make a valid decision, but it needs to make it
    in a finite time, and thus it fails.


    That makes the utterly moronic assumption that the most
    intelligent and knowledgeable person in the universe could not
    possibly spot the infinite loop in the code shown below in less
    then infinite time:

    _Infinite_Loop()
    [00000946](01)  55              push ebp
    [00000947](02)  8bec            mov ebp,esp
    [00000949](02)  ebfe            jmp 00000949 ; right here nitwit
    [0000094b](01)  5d              pop ebp
    [0000094c](01)  c3              ret
    Size in bytes:(0007) [0000094c]



    Fallacy of proof by example. FAIL.

    That pattern is NOT in H^ applied to <H^>.

    I never claimed that H couldn't detect SOME infinite loops,

    You claimed that H could not correctly report that the above is an
    in finite loop because if H stops simulating it then it is no longer
    an infinite loop.


    LIAR.

    I said it could not do it for H^ applied to <H^>

    Shows how much you understand the truth.
    So you acknowledge that in the C/x86, H does correctly decide that
    _Infinite_Loop() never halts ?


    I don't know, because it has never been proven, just claimed.

    _Infinite_Loop()
    [00000946](01) 55 push ebp
    [00000947](02) 8bec mov ebp,esp
    [00000949](02) ebfe jmp 00000949 ; right here nitwit
    [0000094b](01) 5d pop ebp
    [0000094c](01) c3 ret
    Size in bytes:(0007) [0000094c]

    In other words you still believe that it may be impossibly difficult to
    tell that the instruction at machine address 00000949 performs an
    unconditional branch to the machine address 00000949 ?

    Your obtuseness knows no bounds.

    No one has disputed that it is possible to recognise that the above
    is an infinite loop (Richard expressed doubts that *you* were
    competent enough to write a program to recognize this, not that such
    a program could be written).

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qn

    Yet he keeps claiming that the more complex case of embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩
    is impossible to correctly report because if embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ aborts
    its simulation then ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ no longer specifies infinitely nested >> simulation and if does not abort its simulation then is cannot report.

    That is a separate issue, concerned with whether the infinite recursion
    you claim exists actually exists. My post wasn't concerned with that
    issue (though Richard is correct)


    Until it is understood that embedded_H recognizing the infinitely nested simulation of its input: ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ is not a categorical impossibility I have no motivation what-so-ever to proceed to any subsequent steps.

    People that are only looking for one excuse or another to reject my work
    and have interest at all in understanding what I am saying must
    acknowledge each incremental step of mutual agreement before I will
    proceed to any subsequent steps.

    Why not address the ACTUAL point of my post.

    I just explained why.

    How exactly is your
    embedded_H supposed to recognize infinite recursion? Please elaborate on
    the 'string comparison' you claim is involved.

    André

    This is precisely analogous the the C/x86 H _Infinite_Loop() not being
    able to report that _Infinite_Loop() is an infinite loop because when
    H aborts its simulation _Infinite_Loop() stops running.

    But the "infinite behaviour pattern" that your embedded_H is supposed
    to recognize doesn't remotely resemble the pattern above, so the fact
    that the above pattern can be trivially recognized provides *no*
    evidence that the pattern found in embedded_H can be algorithmically
    recognized whatsoever. Ergo, it is entirely pointless for you to keep
    raising this example. It is an entirely irrelevant example; a red
    herring.

    The "infinite recursion" you claim exists when embedded_H is applied
    to <H^> <H^> requires that your embedded_H be able to recognize that
    H^ includes a copy of embedded_H within it, not just to find some
    instance of "HERE: goto HERE" like above.

    You've claimed that this can be done with string comparison, but to
    compare strings you need TWO STRINGS TO COMPARE. embedded_H only
    takes a SINGLE string (or rather two copies of a single string) as
    its input. So what exactly is it supposed to compare this string to?

    The fact that you don't understand the difference between H needing to analyse a simple infinite loop, and H needing to analyse something that
    uses a copy of H in it, shows you just don't understand the problem.


    The point is that I proved that your rebuttal is invalid on the basis of
    the simpler example. When we apply your exact same reasoning to the
    simpler example it becomes totally obvious that this reasoning is
    incorrect.

    You seem oblivious that before you can even create the H^ to test H
    with, H has to be made into a fixed algorithm. with fully defined
    behavior. This means that the argument about what woud happen if H
    didn't abort at the point it does abort is irrelevent.

    It is always the case that when-so-ever the input to a simulating halt
    decider would cause the simulation to be infinite unless it was aborted
    that the simulating halt decider correctly deciders that this input
    never halts.

    Because the above is true by logical necessity the strongest possible
    rebuttal can only be of the form that you simply don't believe that it
    is true.

    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.

    If a TM cannot detect what is obvious for humans to see then the notion
    of computation is artificially constrained and thus defined incorrectly.

    This is
    NOT the same problem as recognizing an infinite loop.

    So how *exactly* does embedded_H recognize when it is being simulated recursively?

    Put slightly differently, when you call embedded_H ⟨X⟩ ⟨X⟩ how does it
    distinguish between cases where X = Ĥ (i.e cases where X contains a copy
    of embedded_H) and cases where X does not equal Ĥ (i.e. cases which do
    not involve recursion)?

    String comparison won't work. So how do you achieve this?

    It is only obvious to a person who has a piece of information that the
    TM does not have; namely, that the string passed to Ĥ is a
    representation of Ĥ. You need to show how a TM can determine that its
    input string is a representation of *itself*. If you can't do this, your solution is unworkable.


    Not until after you agree that embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ is correct when it transitions to Ĥ.qn

    And your position that computations are 'defined incorrectly' is absurd. That's like claiming that since people can swim and cars cannot, cars
    are 'incorrectly defined'.


    A theory T is incomplete if and only if there is some sentence φ such
    that (T ⊬ φ) and (T ⊬ ¬φ).

    The notion of incompleteness is defined incorrectly because it does not
    screen out self-contradictory expressions of language.

    Computations aren't an attempt to model what people can or cannot do.

    No one has disputed that it is possible to recognise that the
    above is an infinite loop (Richard expressed doubts that *you*
    were competent enough to write a program to recognize this, not
    that such a program could be written).


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

    Yet he keeps claiming that the more complex case of embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ >>>>>> ⟨Ĥ⟩ is impossible to correctly report because if embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩
    ⟨Ĥ⟩ aborts its simulation then ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ no longer specifies
    infinitely nested simulation and if does not abort its simulation
    then is cannot report.

    That is a separate issue, concerned with whether the infinite
    recursion you claim exists actually exists. My post wasn't
    concerned with that issue (though Richard is correct)


    Until it is understood that embedded_H recognizing the infinitely
    nested simulation of its input: ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ is not a categorical >>>> impossibility I have no motivation what-so-ever to proceed to any
    subsequent steps.

    But that is *exactly* the step I am asking you about below. I am
    asking you HOW your embedded_H recognizes infinitely nested recursion.

    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.

    If a TM cannot detect what is obvious for humans to see then the
    notion of computation is artificially constrained and thus defined
    incorrectly.


    Except that the pattern only happens if H never aborts it simulation, at which point H has failed by not answering.
    It is at this point on this issue that other reviewers such as {Kaz,
    André and Mike} would understand that you are incorrect.

    No matter what embedded_H does its simulated input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ cannot possibly reach its own final state of ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn specifically because this input specifies infinitely nested simulation to embedded_H.

    These same reviewers would also understand that the fact that the
    simulated input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ cannot possibly reach its final state of ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn
    meets the conventional definition of not halting (cannot reach a final
    state).

    Didn't even you noticed the sophistry of your argument?

    If you think there is an actual error take a shot, this is not about
    rhetoric.


    I think he is just pointing out that YOUR style is to just mindly object
    to what people say without actually trying to understand their arguments.

    You have been shown to be wrong so many times, but you never point out
    an actual error in the refutations, but just say they must be wrong.

    Your key rebuttal that embedded_H cannot possibly recognize the

    LIE.

    It is based on the fact that embedded_H must be a defined algorithm that
    is consistent.
    As soon as embedded_H sees the same infinitely repeating pattern that we
    see it correctly transitions to its reject state.
