    Right, just as YOURS are.

    Alan Turing showed that it is impossible to create A Halt Decider that correctly decides on the halting for all computations by giving them a description of that computation.

    He does this by showing that for any possible decider that you might try
    to create, that he could construct an input that it would get wrong.

    Until you show a rebuttal for his argument, you are just lying.

    Claim the question is wrong is NOT a rebutal, but just the circular
    argument that you claim to be lies, so you are just admitting that your
    whole argument for the past 20 years are LIES.

    You are just proving your utter stupidity.


    // Linz Turing machine H --- H applied to ⟨H⟩
    H.q0 ⟨H⟩ ⟨H⟩ ⊢* H.qy    // H applied to ⟨H⟩ halts
    H.q0 ⟨H⟩ ⟨H⟩ ⊢* H.qn   // H applied to ⟨H⟩ does not halt
    Do you halt on your own Turing Machine description ?

    WRONG QUESTION, so LIE.

    This is just Red Herring.


    Of the infinite set of implementations of H every one that
    transitions to H.qy derives an answer consistent with the
    behavior of H.

    Which doesn't make it a "Halt Decider"

    Proof by example is just a fallacy.


    When we append an infinite loop to the H.qy state we derive Ȟ

    Ȟ.q0 ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⊢* Ȟ.qy ∞ // Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ halts
    H.q0 ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⊢* Ȟ.qn     // Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ does not halt
    Do you halt on your own Turing Machine description ?

    Nope, LIE.

    Ȟ is NOT a decider, so you are setting up an invalid problem.

    You can't try to show a probem is invalid by using a machine that can't possibly solve it.


    Of the infinite set of implementations of Ȟ none of them
    derives an answer consistent with the behavior of Ȟ.


    So?

    Why should it?

    You are just proving yourself to be an IDIOT.


    Why don't you work with the ACTUAL Halting Question?

    Answer, because you can't and make your "arguement" seem at all reasonalbe.

    So, you knock down your own strawman and then LIE that you are proving something about the actual problem.

    So,

    DEFINITION: A Halt Decider is a machine that gives the correct answer
    about the halting behavior of the Computation Described by its input.

    Thus

    H (M) (I) needs to go to Qy (and Halt) if M (I) halts and to go to (and
    Halt) Qn if M (I) will not halt.

    We define H^ (M) to dupicate its input, then use a copy of H on (M) (M)
    and then if that goes to Qy, H^ will loop forever, and if it goes to Qn,
    then H^ Halts.

    We look at the computation H^ (H^), and ask H about it.

    You claim that H (H^) (H^) is correct in going to Qn, but when we run
    that same H^ (H^) it's H goes to Qn and then H^ Halts, so H^ (H^) Halts.

    You claim H was correct, but it went to Qn when the correct answer is Qy

    How is that?

    Do you still hold that this incorrect answer is somehow correct?

    YOu need to use a SOUND argument to explain.


    Note, H^ is NOT "Self-Contradictory" because it isn't defined to
    contradict itself, but H.

    The fact that NO H^ can be built that has an H that goest the correct
    answer is NOT a proof that the problem is incorrect, just that the
    Halting Question is uncomputable, which is a perfectly valid state for a question.

    Why do you think that the fact that no machine can compute a given
    mathematical function makes the function "invalid"?

    Halting is not computabe, because for every possible computation, there
    is at least one input that the decider will get wrong.

    To prove that something is not computable, you need to show that for
    every possible decider, there is at least one input that it gets wrong.

    That is NOT a "circular" argument, that is the definition of a

    For ANY Halt Decider H, the input built from it by the template in the
    Linz proof based on THAT Decider (which results in a SPECIFIC actual
    machine), when given to THAT decider, it can be shown to get it wrong.

    This happens, because it is possible to ALWAYS build an machine to give
    to test the decider from the algorithm of the decider, and make the test machine act contrary to the results of that machine.

    The Computation system is just powerful enough to do this.

    I had a typo.
    Can you see that Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ is self-contradictory?

    Ȟ.q0 ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⊢* Ȟ.qy ∞ // Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ halts
    Ȟ.q0 ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⊢* Ȟ.qn   // Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ does not halt


    H^ is not "Self-Contradictory" because H^ is not defined to "decide"
    anything to be contradictory to.

    H^ is H-Contradictory, and acheives this by using a copy of H within itself.

    It is NOT H itself, but H is just a component of itself, so H^ isn't
    contray to ITSELF.


    Your problem is that you just rotely copy parts of the problem without understanding them.

    The specification on building H^ lead to a CONTRADICTION, not a SELF-CONTRADICTION. The key point here is that assumption of existance
    was on H, not H^, H^'s existance is conditional on the existance of H

    You don't seem to understand the principle of Identity.

    And either way, it shows that a Halt Decider can not exist, not that the definition of what a Halt Decider is to do is contradictory, just
    uncomputable.

    What is it specifically about Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ that

    (a) Ȟ is wearing a green hat and doesn't like inputs with green hats.

    halting.
    (c) Ȟ is busy watching TV and doesn't want to be bothered.
    (d) Input ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ is self contradictory for TM Ȟ.


    My answers are NOT "Circular"

    They are just based on the definitions

    If you don't accept the definition, you are just proving yourself stupid.

    (and yes, ultimately definition become somewhat circular, as you get
    to the fundamentals that don't have anything to define them on, this
    is the limitation of langauge).


    These definitions have always been circular.
    People that learn-by-rote simply learn them
    by rote and thus never notice their circularity.


    ALL definitions are in one sense cirular, as you reach a fundamental
    basis that we run out of simpler words to describe it.

    That is where we need to go to the actual first principles to understand
    what things are.

    You don't understand them, so everything seems confusing, but that is
    YOUR fault for not seeking to understand the first principles before
    working on problems in the field.

    The basic definition of computable / non-computable is based on the
    existance or non-existance of an specific descrite deterministic
    algorithm that can produce the requried answer, for all possible inputs,
    in finite time.

    If such an algorithm exists, the problem is computable. If not, it is non-computable.

    Nothing "circular" about that, if you understand that basics of what an algorithm is, and what it means for the required answer.

    If you don't understand that, then you will get looped in circles, like
    it seems you have.

    Right, just as YOURS are.

    Alan Turing showed that it is impossible to create A Halt Decider

    giving them a description of that computation.

    He does this by showing that for any possible decider that you

    would get wrong.

    There doesn't NEED to be a "reason" it doesn't exist.

    You are just showing youself too stupid to understand the reasoning I

    That you continue to use ad hominem as your basis

    I do NOT say you are wrong because you are stupid (or some other

    are showing yourself stupid by repeating wrong statements, over and over.

    If you look carefully at what I have said, it is always, you are wrong
    because of ... stating reasons, and then and the fact that you continue

    Perhaps the only time when I use stupid as a reason is here, where you
    are asking why, after I have explained it, and I won't keep repeating
    it, because it doesn't really matter, and you are clearly too stupid to understand why things are the way they are.

    We don't always get to know why things work out the way they do, we
    might want to, but it isn't always given to us. We just need to learn
    how things actually are.

    Halting is NOT computable, That is a PROVEN fact. There are principles
    we can learn that help explain why that is, but they don't change the
    fact that it isn't computabe.

    So,

    DEFINITION: A Halt Decider is a machine that gives the correct
    answer about the halting behavior of the Computation Described by
    its input.

    Thus

    H (M) (I) needs to go to Qy (and Halt) if M (I) halts and to go to >>>>>> (and Halt) Qn if M (I) will not halt.

    We define H^ (M) to dupicate its input, then use a copy of H on
    (M) (M) and then if that goes to Qy, H^ will loop forever, and if
    it goes to Qn, then H^ Halts.

    We look at the computation H^ (H^), and ask H about it.

    You claim that H (H^) (H^) is correct in going to Qn, but when we
    run that same H^ (H^) it's H goes to Qn and then H^ Halts, so H^
    (H^) Halts.

    You claim H was correct, but it went to Qn when the correct answer >>>>>> is Qy

    How is that?

    Do you still hold that this incorrect answer is somehow correct?

    YOu need to use a SOUND argument to explain.


    Note, H^ is NOT "Self-Contradictory" because it isn't defined to
    contradict itself, but H.


    I had a typo.
    Can you see that Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ is self-contradictory? >>>>>
    Ȟ.q0 ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⊢* Ȟ.qy ∞ // Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ halts >>>>> Ȟ.q0 ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⊢* Ȟ.qn   // Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ does not halt


    H^ is not "Self-Contradictory" because H^ is not defined to "decide"
    anything to be contradictory to.

    H^ is H-Contradictory, and acheives this by using a copy of H within
    itself.


    There are no copies


    Then you haven't done it right

    I reformulated the problem so that Ȟ is merely the
    exact same H that has had a single change to make
    it self-contradictory. No copies simply Ȟ applied
    to its own machine description.

    Ȟ.q0 ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⊢* Ȟ.qy ∞ // Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ halts
    Ȟ.q0 ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⊢* Ȟ.qn   // Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ does not halt



    But the copy I mention wasn't the copy of the input, but the fact that
    H^ has in it a copy of the original H.

    Note, you can't "change" a Turing machine to get "the same" machine that
    is different.

    Turing Machines are "read only" and immutable. Once created that machine
    will be that machine. If you try to change it, you are changing a copy.

    Also, your problem definition is incorrect, as H^ (H^) (H^) as you
    describe it is asking about H^ (H^) which will ask aobut H^ -

    so you don't get the same iteration of logic, as each evaluation
    "consumes" one discription to be the program.

    That is why the proof program needs to duplicate its input.

    I havve explained this several times, but you seem to just not
    understand the issue.

    H^ (H^) (H^) might Halt but H^ (H^) might not and so the above
    computation might be correct to go to qn.

    What is it specifically about Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ that causes it to get the wrong answer? If it is not self-contradiction then it

    Why does there NEED to be a reason?

    Why is Pi = 3.14159...? (other than that is its value)

    For a first point Ȟ is mot a "decider" (since it doesn't always halt),

    When you say that the reason why Ȟ cannot compute the halt status

    that is circular forming its conclusion on the basis of its premise.

    Nope. "Computable" and "Non-Computable" are base definition relative to
    the existance or non-existance of a Turing Machine that computes that
    function among the set of all possible Turing Machines.

    There are Aleph-1 possible mappings that Turing Machines could be asked
    to compute, and only Aleph-0 possible Turing Machines, so most mappings
    are just not computable.

    There need not be a "specific" why as to why one particular one isn't,
    perhaps the better question to ask is why so many mappings we want to do
    are computable, since the odds are against them.

    The fact you think this is a circular definition shows you don't
    understand the first principles of the field.

    What is it specifically about Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ that causes it to get the wrong answer? If it is not self-contradiction then it
    must be some other reason.

    It's the code in Ȟ. For example, if implemented in x86, it's the result
    of all the ADD, SUB, MOV, JNZ instructions, and all the other
    instructions as well. Once you get to the end of the halt decider part,
    the eax register (which holds function return values) will contain
    either 1 or 0.

    Which is exactly like saying: Of the infinite set of natural numbers
    none of them satisfies the equation x=1-x.

    Ȟ.q0 ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⊢* Ȟ.qy ∞ // Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ halts
    Ȟ.q0 ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⊢* Ȟ.qn // Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ does not halt

    x=0 // 1-x=1
    x=1 // 1-x=0

    What is it specifically about Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ that
    causes every implementation of Ȟ get the wrong answer.

    What is it specifically about 1-x that causes every value of x to get
    the wrong answer.

    I say that the reason is that Ȟ applied to ⟨Ȟ⟩ ⟨Ȟ⟩ is self-contradictory for  Ȟ.

    I say that 1-x is self-contradictory for x.
