    It seems you try to change what the halting problem again.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem
    In computability theory, the halting problem is the problem of
    determining, from a description of
    an
    arbitrary computer program and an input, whether the program will
    finish running, or continue to
    run
    forever....

    This wiki definition had been shown many times. But, since your
    English is
    terrible, you often read it as something else (actually, deliberately >>>>>> interpreted it differently, so called 'lie')

    If you want to refute Halting Problem, you must first understand
    what the
    problem is about, right? You never hit the target that every one
    can see, but POOP.




    Note: My email was delivered strangely. It swapped to sci.logic !!!

    If we have the decision problem that no one can answer this question: >>>>> Is this sentence true or false: "What time is it?"

    This is not the halting problem.

    Someone has to point out that there is something wrong with it.


    This is another problem (not the HP neither)


    The halting problem is one of many problems that is
    only "undecidable" because the notion of decidability
    incorrectly requires a correct answer to a self-contradictory
    (thus incorrect) question.


    The question itself is NOT self-contradictory, but EVERY instance of
    the question has a correct answer, just not the one the decider the
    input is contradictory to give.

    Note, you are a bit on the right track, one of the causes of this
    uncomputability is the ability of the system to support the making of
    an input that is decider-contrary. IF there was something about the
    decider that the input couldn't do, then this common method would break.

    The key point is that all these logic system have become powerful
    enough with the axioms to support the ability to produce such a result.

    And that is one way to keep systemms for becoming incomplete, limit
    the power of the expression that you allow in the system.

    The simple way around this is to understand that
    self-contradictory inputs are invalid.

    But if the system ALLOWS the construction of the statement you want to
    call "Self-Contradictory" they can't be invalid.


    I think that you already agreed with this:

    LP = "This sentence is not true."
    Boolean True(English, LP)  is false
    Boolean True(English, ~LP) is false

    *You probably did not understand that the above refutes Tarski*


    Nope.

    You just don't understand what Tarski is saying.

    You have even effectively admitted he was right.

    The Existence of a Truth Predicate means that the Liar Paradox must be a
    Truth Bearer, thus a Truth Predicate can't exist.

    Every sequence of alphabet symbols is valid input to a Turing machine.
    You do not understand this.

    "This sentence is not true." is valid input to a Turing machine which
    has the QWERTY keyboard symbols as its alphabet.

    They are not unless the problem statements say so. What is or is >>>>>>>> not a valid input is specified in the problem statement. Your
    opinions don't matter.

    The correct philosophical foundation of the notion of truth
    itself proves that epistemological antinomies have no truth
    value because they are not truth bearers proves that they are
    outside of the domain of decision problems.

    That does not contradict what I said above.

    Yes it does. it is generically the case that every input
    to a decision problem either has a correct yes/no answer
    or this input is outside of the domain of this decider.

    No, it doesn't. It is generically the case that the domain
    is what the problem specification says. If you leave anything
    out of the domain you will have at most a partial solution,
    not the solution of the problem.


    I have reversed my position on this.

    Have you already updated your web page?


    I have many papers on Researchgate here is my most recent one: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/374806722_Does_the_halting_problem_place_an_actual_limit_on_computation

    Termination Analyzer H is Not Fooled by Pathological Input D https://www.researchgate.net/publication/369971402_Termination_Analyzer_H_is_Not_Fooled_by_Pathological_Input_D

    I may update that one with the algorithm suggested by Mike
    and anchor it better in the Linz Halting problem proof.

    The key most important discovery is that it is the combination
    of H/D that forms the single counter-example input to H1.

    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

    In other words H/D is isomorphic to Linz Ĥ and H1 is
    isomorphic to Linz H. Actual Turing machines do not
    call other Turing Machines instead they embed these
    machines within themselves. That most texts on the
    halting problem have D calling H lead me astray for
    may years.

    Except that shows you must be lying, as Linz H^ is built on Linz-H, but
    in your model it is built on something that gives a different answer,
    thus can't be the same computation.


    Because of this I reversed my position and no longer claim
    that H(D,D) reports on the behavior specified by its input
    (it does, but this is unconventional). When it is construed
    that H must report on the behavior of the direct execution
    of its input it does get the wrong answer yet only because
    the combination of H/D is self-contradictory.

    In other words the halting problem only proves that an
    otherwise correct halt decider H can be caused to report
    incorrectly by embedding it as Ĥ.Hq0 in another machine
    Ĥ that contradicts every value that it returns.

    And thus it isn't a "Correct Halt Decider". PERIOD.

    Again, you are just LYING.


    That this has no actual effect on the original H is
    apparently too difficult for many people to understand.

    But if the exact copy doesn't match behavior, then H never was a
    computaiton and you are again admitting that you have been LYING.


    It is as easy as first grade arithmetic to me because
    I fully understand all of the details of how this works.

    Nope, you THINK you do, but you have totally misunderstood it.


    My H1(D,D) machine versus my H(D,D) machine conclusively
    proves that when two otherwise identical machine are
    at different locations in memory then when each is applied
    to the same input they can correctly derived different results.

    It just proves you don't know what it means for two machines to be
    identical, and thus, you are caught in another LIE.


    They correctly derive different results because these machine
    are at different locations in memory only one of these two machines
    has its return value contradicted and the other does not.

    And thus you have LIED that they are computation of just the description
    of the COmputation to decide on


    People that disagree with this are disagreeing with empirically
    verified facts. The x86 execution race clearly proves that H(D,D)
    does meet its "abort simulation" criteria and H1(D,D) does not
    meet this criteria.

    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

    Richard has agreed that Ĥ.H must transition to Ĥ.Hqn
    to prevent its own infinite execution and this causes
    Ĥ to halt.

    *This entails that H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ would be correct to transition to H.qy*

    Except that means it contradicts itself, since you also haveH^.H (H^)
    (H^) going to qn and claiming there are the same Turing Machine Equivalent.

    So, you are lying again, because you have made yourself totally ignorant
    of the actual properties of a Turing Machine.


    So I have shown that a correct halt status for the counter-example
    input <is> possible and Richard's last remaining rebuttal to this
    is that he doesn't think that H is is smart enough to do this.

    *When H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ uses the exact same criteria as Ĥ.H*
    Both H and Ĥ.H transition to their NO state when a correct and
    complete simulation of their input would cause their own infinite
    execution and otherwise transition to their YES state.

    When they both apply this criteria correctly then
    Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ transitions to NO and H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ transitions to YES.

    Simply not believing that they can do this is not really
    any actual rebuttal at all.



    No, you have shown yourself to be an ignorant pathological liar.

    So these are your current opinions. Therefore, if we find any error
    in either one we may say you are still wrong.

    I may update that one with the algorithm suggested by Mike

    If you do, post here a message about the update.
