    Invalid, because it asks about a non-existant person.
    Also, because it presumes facts that are not true.

    But the question isn't mapping H/D, it is mapping the Machine described

    an answer, depend on the specifics of the problem, that needed to have
    specifed before you could ever actually ask the question.

    You are just LYING about what the question actually is.

    It now seems to me that you never were lying.
    The philosophical foundation of these things is very difficult.

    It is when you and others ridiculously disagreed with the dead
    obvious totally verified facts of the actual behavior behavior
    of H1(D,D) and H(D,D) that gave me sufficient reason to conclude
    that you and others were lying.

    The actual truth seems to be that you and others were so biased
    against my position on that you and others persistently ignored
    my proof that I was correct many many dozens of times.

    No, we are biased to the truth.


    Even when I said show me the error in the execution trace many
    many times you and others totally failed.


    But the queston isn't about the execution trace, it is the comparison of
    the Behavior of the Computation represented by the input (which you
    almost NEVER show, because it shows that you lying) and the answer that
    the decider gives.

    The logical law of polar questions
    Feb 20, 2015, 11:38:48 AM  sci.lang

    When posed to a man whom has never been married,
    the question: Have you stopped beating your wife?
    Is an incorrect polar question because neither yes nor
    no is a correct answer.

    Does the Machine and Input described by the input Halt when run.

    THE REAL ONE

    The same as the specific_unmarried_man

    The logical law of polar questions
    Feb 20, 2015, 11:38:48 AM  sci.lang

    When posed to a man whom has never been married,
    the question: Have you stopped beating your wife?
    Is an incorrect polar question because neither yes nor
    no is a correct answer.

    Does the Machine and Input described by the input Halt when run.

    Thus, H only gets ivolved when we are CHECKING the answer.

    (b) Specific unmarried_man to stopped_beating_wife(YES/NO)

    (a) and (b) are isomorphic.

    Only in that H doesn't exist, as oesn't the man's wife.

    They are both YES/NO questions lacking a correct YES/NO answer.



    Although there is a mapping from some TM/input pairs to YES/NO
    there is no mapping from H/D to YES/NO
    thus the question is incorrect for H/D


    But the question isn't mapping H/D, it is mapping the Machine
    described by the input (and its input) to if it reaches a final
    state, which has

    That <is> one half of the mapping.
    To be isomorphic
    mapping from specific_unmarried_man to stopped_beating_wife(YES/NO)
    we must have mapping from specific TM: H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)

    Which is just a Red Herring, because we are NOT asking about what H
    does, but about what its input represents and what H needs to do to
    be correct.


    an answer, depend on the specifics of the problem, that needed to
    have specifed before you could ever actually ask the question.

    You are just LYING about what the question actually is.

    It now seems to me that you never were lying.
    The philosophical foundation of these things is very difficult.

    It is when you and others ridiculously disagreed with the dead
    obvious totally verified facts of the actual behavior behavior
    of H1(D,D) and H(D,D) that gave me sufficient reason to conclude
    that you and others were lying.

    The actual truth seems to be that you and others were so biased
    against my position on that you and others persistently ignored
    my proof that I was correct many many dozens of times.

    No, we are biased to the truth.


    Even when I said show me the error in the execution trace many
    many times you and others totally failed.


    But the queston isn't about the execution trace,

    Yes it always was.
    *You disagreed that H(D,D)==0 and H1(D,D)==1 did what they actually did* >>> You disagreed with the proven facts.

    How is it about the execution trace of what H or H1 sees?

    *You disagreed that H(D,D)==0 and H1(D,D)==1 did what they actually did* Every step of exactly what they did with D is shown proving the
    simulation was correct and you denied this anyway.


    Since the question is about the behavior of D(D), that is the ONLY thing
    that really matters.

    The traces might help us figure outwhy H got the answer wrong, but CAN'T
    prove it right, for the ACTUAL QUESTION that you imply is what you are
    working on.

    You continued claims otherwise, just shows how pathetic your
    pathological lies are.


    The question asks NOTHING about that, so you are just proving yourself
    stupid.


    it is the comparison of the Behavior of the Computation represented
    by the input (which you almost NEVER show,

    That is a ridiculously false statement. I always show all of the
    details of the simulated D thus conclusively proving that it was
    simulated correctly. You always denied these completely proven facts.

    Nope.

    A correctly simulated D, when H(D,D) returns 0 will HALT.

    PERIOD.

    Any simulation that says otherwise is a LIE.



    because it shows that you lying) and the answer that the decider gives. >>>>

    When you ask a man that has never been married:

    the correct answer is no.

    That affirms a false presupposition thus cannot be correct.

    it does not.


    It seems to me that you don't know linguistics well enough.
    I did not read this article.
    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/presupposition/


    Although there is a mapping from some men to YES/NO
    there is no mapping from never married men to YES/NO
    thus the question is incorrect for all unmarried men.

    the correct answer is no.

    Although there is a mapping from some TM/input pairs to YES/NO >>>>>>>>> there is no mapping from H/D to YES/NO
    H(D) isn't valid input since H has two inputs.

    there is no mapping from H(D,D) to YES/NO


    H(D,D) -> YES

    and

    H(D,D) -> NO

    are two mappings


    I did not say that precisely enough.
    There is no mapping from the specific TM/input pair:
    H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)

    Be even more precise because this doesn't seem to mean anything.

    *The same question exists in a hierarchy of generality to specificity*
    There is a mapping from    D(D) to Halts(D,D).
    There is a mapping from H1(D,D) to Halts(D,D)
    There is no mapping from H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)



    What is a mapping from D(D) to Halts(D,D)? What do those words mean?
    Halts(D,D) is a standard hypothetical function used to denote the the
    halting behavior that D(D) actually has. It is a notational convention.

    mapping from D(D) to Halts(D,D)
    maps the actual behavior of D(D) to its actual halt status.
    mapping from H1(D,D) to Halts(D,D)==1 meaning that D(D) halts.

    No, Halts(D,D) == 1 means that D(D) Halts.

    It doesn't need H1(D,D) to do anything.

    H1(D,D) mapping to Halts(D,D) means H1 got that input right.

    Even if H1(D,D) didn't map to Halts(D,D), the fact that Halts(D,D) == 1
    means D(D) Halted.

    Your claim that somehow H or H1 needs to map to Halts just shows your stupidity, and that you are still a pathological liar.

    Also, because it presumes facts that are not true.


    There is no mapping from

    Which s a lying comment since nothing in the question asks for one. >>>>>>

    YOU ARE JUST BEING STUPID.

    The Question, Does the Computation Described by your inpt (in this
    case D(D) ) halt when run does NOT ask about a mappig from anything
    OTHER than D(D) to Halts (D,D)


    This is simply a degree of detail that you choose to ignore.
    There is a mapping from H1(D,D) to Halts(D,D)==1

    Which, if true, says that H1 got that answer right

    There is no mapping from H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)???

    WHich says that H DIDN'T Get the answer right.

    There is no reason something is illogical or invalid just because some
    machine got the wrong answer, unless you are talking about the logic of
    that machine.

    Since H got the wrong answer, there is something wrong with its logic
    for that case. Which we see is that it thinks that D(D) calling H(D,D)
    means that D(D) will be non-halting, even though H(D,D) will return 0
    after a finite time.


    H1(D,D) or H(D,D) are NOT "more specific" thatn D(D) when asking about
    D(D)

    And you are just a stupid pathological liar for saying so.

    Where on earth do you get that H1 or H are in ANY WAY a "stand-in" for
    the behavior of the input they are trying to decide on.

    They are the thing being TESTED.

    You are just showing your TOTAL and UTTER STUPIDITY here.



    That would be mre like what decider gets the Halting Question right
    the pathological input?

    Not, Does the input Halt when run?

    Look at the wrong question and of course you get the wrong answer.

    And repeatedly doing that is just another form of DECEPTION and LYING. >>>>

    Halts(D,D) is a standard hypothetical function used to denote the the
    halting behavior that D(D) actually has. It is a notational convention.

    mapping from D(D) to Halts(D,D)
    maps the actual behavior of D(D) to its actual halt status.
    mapping from H1(D,D) to Halts(D,D)==1 meaning that D(D) halts.

    You still did not explain what you mean by a mapping from D(D) to
    Halts(D,D). You only explained what you mean by Halts(D,D).

    Also, because it presumes facts that are not true.

    YOU ARE JUST BEING STUPID.

    The Question, Does the Computation Described by your inpt (in this

    OTHER than D(D) to Halts (D,D)


    This is simply a degree of detail that you choose to ignore.
    There is a mapping from H1(D,D) to Halts(D,D)==1
    There is no mapping from H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)???

    H1(D,D) or H(D,D) are NOT "more specific" thatn D(D) when asking about
    D(D)

    And you are just a stupid pathological liar for saying so.

    Where on earth do you get that H1 or H are in ANY WAY a "stand-in" for
    the behavior of the input they are trying to decide on.

    They are the thing being TESTED.

    You are just showing your TOTAL and UTTER STUPIDITY here.



    That would be mre like what decider gets the Halting Question right
    the pathological input?

    Not, Does the input Halt when run?

    Look at the wrong question and of course you get the wrong answer.

    And repeatedly doing that is just another form of DECEPTION and LYING. >>>>
    The QUESTION ask for the mapping of D D -> {Halting, Non-Halting}

    anything else is just a LIE.

    isomorphic to
    mapping from specific_unmarried_man to stopped_beating_wife(YES/NO)

    The question ask for the mapping from D,D to Halts(D,D), which
    exists.
    Remeber, the question is, and only is:

    That is not the question that H(D,D) is being asked.

    So, you continue to lie about that.

    I guess you are just incurably stupid.

    Do you still remember the question of the Halting Problem?

    THE REAL ONE

    The same as the specific_unmarried_man

    The logical law of polar questions
    Feb 20, 2015, 11:38:48 AM  sci.lang

    When posed to a man whom has never been married,
    the question: Have you stopped beating your wife?
    Is an incorrect polar question because neither yes nor
    no is a correct answer.

    Does the Machine and Input described by the input Halt when run.

    Thus, H only gets ivolved when we are CHECKING the answer.

    (b) Specific unmarried_man to stopped_beating_wife(YES/NO)

    (a) and (b) are isomorphic.

    Only in that H doesn't exist, as oesn't the man's wife.

    They are both YES/NO questions lacking a correct YES/NO answer.



    Although there is a mapping from some TM/input pairs to YES/NO >>>>>>>>> there is no mapping from H/D to YES/NO
    thus the question is incorrect for H/D


    But the question isn't mapping H/D, it is mapping the Machine

    That <is> one half of the mapping.
    To be isomorphic
    mapping from specific_unmarried_man to stopped_beating_wife(YES/NO) >>>>>>> we must have mapping from specific TM: H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)

    Which is just a Red Herring, because we are NOT asking about what
    H does, but about what its input represents and what H needs to do >>>>>> to be correct.

    You are just LYING about what the question actually is.

    It now seems to me that you never were lying.
    The philosophical foundation of these things is very difficult.

    It is when you and others ridiculously disagreed with the dead
    obvious totally verified facts of the actual behavior behavior
    of H1(D,D) and H(D,D) that gave me sufficient reason to conclude >>>>>>> that you and others were lying.

    The actual truth seems to be that you and others were so biased
    against my position on that you and others persistently ignored
    my proof that I was correct many many dozens of times.

    No, we are biased to the truth.


    Even when I said show me the error in the execution trace many
    many times you and others totally failed.


    But the queston isn't about the execution trace,

    Yes it always was.
    *You disagreed that H(D,D)==0 and H1(D,D)==1 did what they actually
    did*
    You disagreed with the proven facts.

    How is it about the execution trace of what H or H1 sees?

    *You disagreed that H(D,D)==0 and H1(D,D)==1 did what they actually did* >>> Every step of exactly what they did with D is shown proving the
    simulation was correct and you denied this anyway.


    Since the question is about the behavior of D(D), that is the ONLY
    thing that really matters.


    Great, I am glad that you see this too.

    The traces might help us figure outwhy H got the answer wrong, but
    CAN'T prove it right, for the ACTUAL QUESTION that you imply is what
    you are working on.

    The traces prove that this is correct H(D,D)==0 and H1(D,D)==1
    You always disagreed with the facts of that. This was the reason
    that I mistook you and others for liars.

    The traces prove that H(D,D) returns 0. The traces do not prove that 0
    is the correct answer for a halting decider when (D,D) is the input.

    The following is a correct statement:
    H(D,D) returns 0.

    The following is an incorrect statement:
    A halting decider returns 0 when (D,D) is the input.

    makes no sense because H(D,D) is not a specific TM.

    I always have to have you and Richard point the bugs in my words.
    There is no mapping from the specific TM/input pair H(D,D) to
    Halts(D,D)

    Of course there is.
    H(D,D)==0 and Halt(D,D)==1

    So you just showed that there IS a mapping:

    0 -> 1

    That it the mapping of a wrong decider.

    In other words you are saying that zero <is> one


    No, Zero MAPS to 1.

    One example, would be the mapping of the NOT operator.

    Mapping doesn't say its input ARE its outputs, but that the inputs, from
    there domain space, MAP to the outputs in their RANGE space.

    The mapping of "Reciprical" maps 2 -> 0.5 but no one things that 2 IS 0,5

    You ar just showing a fundamental misunderstanding of everything you are talking about.

    You still did not explain what you mean by a mapping from D(D) to
    Halts(D,D). You only explained what you mean by Halts(D,D).

    Halts(D,D) is stipulated to correspond to the actual behavior of D(D) map(H1(D,D),Halts(D,D))==true
    map(H(D,D),Halts(D,D))==false

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy ∞ // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn     // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt
    ∀Ĥ.H (Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ != Halts(⟨Ĥ⟩, ⟨Ĥ⟩))




    In other words, you don't know what a MAPPING means, proving your
    stupiditiy and ignorance.
