    You still have not shown that I am incorrect.

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

    It is the case than unless embedded_H aborts the simulation of its
    input that this input would never stop running.

    It is also the case that the fact that this
    IS A REASONABLE MEASURE THAT THIS INPUT SPECIFIES A NON HALTING
    SEQUENCE OF CONFIGURATIONS.

    The above two facts taken together prove that the essence of my idea
    is correct.


    It is only a reasonable measure if H NEVER aborts its simulation (not
    unless, NEVER).
    It is known to be a reasonable measure on the basis of the meaning of
    its words. The meaning of these words are simply over your head.

    For every type of non-halting sequence of configurations:
    (a) Infinite loop
    (b) Infinite Recursion
    (c) Infinitely nested simulation
    (d) Pathological self-reference

    As long as the simulation would never stop running unless the simulating
    halt decider H aborted its simulation H is necessarily always correct to
    reject this input.

    Nope. Maybe to someone who doesn't understand the REAL meaning.

    Since we HAVE an actual definition, and you have even shown you KNOW it,
    the fact that you don't use it just shows you are a pathological liar.

    BY DEFINITION:

    H <M> w needs to -> H.Qy if M w Halts and -> H.Qn if M w never halts.
    Thus H <H^> <H^> needs to go to H.Qy if H^ <H^> Halts.

    Since you claim that H <H^> <H^> is correct in going to H.Qn we know
    that it does this, and we also know by the rules of construction of H^
    that the H^ that this copy of H was put into when applied to <H^> will
    use that H to see that H -> H.Qn, so H^ -> H^.Qn and Halts.

    Since if H^ applied to <H^> Halts, we know that for H to have been
    correct, it needed to go to H.Qy not H.Qn, so BY DEFINTION H was wrong,
    and any claim otherwise is just a LIE.


    The actual behavior of the simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H proves that I am right.

    When someone smashes a Boston cream pie in your face denying that this
    is not possible "in theory" does not stop the pie from dripping from
    your face.

    Maybe these words are just over your head, if so, you need to stop
    lyiing and making claims you know something about this.

    FAIL.


    For every type of non-halting sequence of configurations:
    (a) Infinite loop
    (b) Infinite Recursion
    (c) Infinitely nested simulation
    (d) Pathological self-reference

    except it doesn't work for (d) as shown above.

    It does work for (d) you are merely having a break from reality.

    It is the case that unless embedded_H aborts the simulation of its input
    that this simulation never stops. You know and acknowledge that this is
    true.

    A reasonable mind (not yours) would comprehend that this means that the
    input to embedded_H specifies a sequence of configurations that never
    halt in the same way that an infinite loop specifies a sequence of configurations that never halt. It is the exact same principle in both
    cases.

    You keep saying that if H aborts its simulation that the infinitely
    nested simulation no longer exists. This is exactly the same as when H
    aborts its simulation of an infinite loop, the loop stops running
    because it has been aborted.

    Aborting the simulation of an otherwise infinite sequence of
    configurations does not magically transform them into halting computations.
