    Which your H doesn't satisfy.

    First, your claim your H and D aren't programs, and thus are category
    errors to try to apply this.

    To use this, H must be a SPECIFIC program, with a definite algorithm,
    and not an "infinte set" of them. (You can have an infinite set of them,
    but you look at each one individually).

    And, D includes the code for H as that is part of its algorithm, and
    thus is part of its representation, and thus each (H,D) pairing creates
    a different D, totally distinct, and thus you can't talk about "H
    simulates 1 to infinity steps of D", as each H in that set simulated a DIFFERENT D, and thus you can't just combine those results.

    When you fix this, then you have the problem that H can nover correctly
    decide this, as if H does, then it doesn't do a correct simulation by
    the definition of the system, but the correct simulation of that input,
    which is the D that calls THIS H, that aborts is simulation and returns
    0, will simulate to the point of that abort (which will be long after
    the simulation that H does aborted its simulation, and so it has no
    knowledge of this behavior) and see it return 0 to D which will then halt.

    Since the correct simulation of the input halts, there is no way that H
    can correctly determine such a thing to never halt.

    The preasumption that it can is just a error, and repeating it after
    being pointed out is just a LIE.

    DD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly reach its

    But you HHH doesn't correctly simulate DD, so this doesn't apply, and
    making the claim is just a lie.

    In fact, as described above, the correct simulation of DD will reach a
    final state and halt, and thus you claims are just a LIE.


    This is not actually contradicted by the fact that the
    directly executed DD() does halt because directly
    executed Turing machines are not actually in the domain
    of any Turing machine based decider.

    Sure it is, as the DEFINITION of "Correct Simulation" is to totally
    replicate the behavior of the direct execution of the machine the input describes.

    Thus, you are just admitting that you have no idea of the meaning of the
    words you are using, and by repeating this after being told so, becomes
    a LIE, and shows that you don't understand how logic work.

    It seems that you think you can change definitions, which you aren't,
    which is what makes you a pathological liar who doesn't care about the
    rules or what is truth.

    Which is just a LIE, as the simulation of Ĥ.embedded_H is not a definer
    of halting, again just showing your ignorance and disregarding of what
    is truth,

    Sorry, you are just torpedoing your reputation with every repeat of your errors, which just PROVES that you are just totally IGNORANT of the
    meaning of the words, and that you just don't care about what is right,
    just what you believe.

    You are just showing that you are living in a false fantasy world that
    doesn't care about the actual rules of the games, and thus doesn't lead

    You have the requirement incorrectly

    <MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>
         If simulating halt decider *H correctly simulates its*
         *input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D*
         *would never stop running unless aborted* then


    No, you do.

    Remember, to use this D and H need to be programs, and thus fully
    include all of the code they use.

    Thus, if H DOES eventually abort and return 0, that code IS in H, AND D,
    and thus H doesn't actually do a correct simulation per the meaning of
    the term-of-art, and the correct simulation of D will, after the point
    that H aborts its partial simulation, reach the point that the simulated
    H also aborts and returns 0, and thus cause the correct simulation of D
    to halt.

    The phrase "H correctly simulate its input" is just a meaningless lie.

    And H can never correctly determine that ANY correct simulation (let
    alone its non-existant one) will never halt, as it does halt.

    All you are proving is that you think lies are valid logic forms, and
    thus that your logic is just patholological lying.



    This is not actually contradicted by the fact that the
    directly executed DD() does halt because directly
    executed Turing machines are not actually in the domain
    of any Turing machine based decider.

    No, but the description of the Turing Machine in the input specifies
    what would happen when directly executed. That does belong to the domain.


    Proven to be counter-factual by the execution trace of
    DDD emulated by HHH (according to the rules of the x86
    language) in the case where an input calls its own simulating
    termination analyzer.

    No, your "proof" is proven to be counter-factual as your HHH doesn't
    follow ALL of the rules of the x86 languge, which requires EVERY
    (non-final) instruction to be followed in execution/simulation by the
    next one defined by the exeuction order.

    Sorry, you are just the poster child for GIGO.


    _DDD()
    [00002192] 55         push ebp
    [00002193] 8bec       mov ebp,esp
    [00002195] 6892210000 push 00002192  // push DDD
    [0000219a] e833f4ffff call 000015d2  // call HHH
    [0000219f] 83c404     add esp,+04
    [000021a2] 5d         pop ebp
    [000021a3] c3         ret
    Size in bytes:(0018) [000021a3]

    Can't be the full input, as the call HHH can not be simulated.

    When we fix this by adding the code of HHH from Halt7.c, then you claim
    that HHH correctly simulates its input is proven to be a lie, as it only
    does a PARTIAL simulation.


    DDD emulated by HHH according to the rules of the x86
    language cannot possibly reach its own "ret" instruction
    final halt state.

    Only because HHH doesn't fully simulate per the rules of the x86 language.

    The correct simulation of DDD, when including the only allowed
    definition from Halt7.c, shows that it WILL reach that final state.

    Sorry, but you LYING by using incorrect definitions just proves your
    ignorance.


    Are you not getting this due to lack of technical
    competence or dishonesty?


    No, it seems you are though, and that you don't care that you are
    ignorant of the actual meaning of the word you use, but are willing to
    just make yourself a pathological liar by your disregard of them.

    <MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>
         If simulating halt decider *H correctly simulates its*
         *input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D*
         *would never stop running unless aborted* then


    This is not actually contradicted by the fact that the
    directly executed DD() does halt because directly
    executed Turing machines are not actually in the domain
    of any Turing machine based decider.

    No, but the description of the Turing Machine in the input specifies
    what would happen when directly executed. That does belong to the domain.


    Proven to be counter-factual by the execution trace of
    DDD emulated by HHH (according to the rules of the x86
    language) in the case where an input calls its own simulating
    termination analyzer.

    No proof, but invalid claims without evidence, using a failing HHH that
    is unable to follow the specification of the x86 code up to the end.


    _DDD()
    [00002192] 55         push ebp
    [00002193] 8bec       mov ebp,esp
    [00002195] 6892210000 push 00002192  // push DDD

    [000021a3] c3         ret
    Size in bytes:(0018) [000021a3]

    DDD emulated by HHH according to the rules of the x86
    language cannot possibly reach its own "ret" instruction
    final halt state.

    Yes, we know that HHH fails to reach the final halt state due to a
    premature abort. Whey repeating HHH's failure?


    Are you not getting this due to lack of technical
    competence or dishonesty?


    Irrelevant and incorrect questions are no rebuttal.

    It does not matter whether he agreed or not, because it is a vacuous
    statement. H does not do a correct simulation. H does not correctly
    determines never stop running.
    When the conditions are not met, the conclusion is irrelevant and the
    whole statement is vacuous.

    *A more conventional way of saying that is*

    If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its
    input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D
    *cannot possibly reach its own simulated final state*



    Which has to mean the correct simulation of it input, not ITS simulation
    of the input.

    Since the halt decider must be fixed code, it can't both abort its
    simulation and do a correct simulation.

    If it never does a correct simulation, you can't determine what its
    correct simulation would be.

    That is why the proper statement doesn't restict the correct simulation
    to something that doesn't do one.

    That just makes your criteria nonsense.

    can't make you claim from the partial simulation that the complete

    In fact, we CAN prove that it will.

    Because all those other patterns aren't the truth about the HHH that you
    have.

    And the unaltered behavior of the process continues one more cycle and
    halts.

    HHH is asked about the unalterd process, not the partial simulation tha
    it does.

    You are just stuck with you lies that you so stupidly believe.

    I have told you this fifty times now.

      Infinite_Recursion();
      return;
    }

    void Infinite_Loop()
    {
      HERE: goto HERE;
      return;
    }

    The above two functions don't run forever either
    when simulated by HHH.

    So?


    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:
    (a) It detects a non-terminating behavior pattern then it aborts its simulation and returns 0,


    except that some of the patterns it calls non-terminating ARE
    terminating, and thus are wrong.

    (b) Its simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement then it returns 1.

    DDD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly reach
    its own final halt state.


    But DDD isn't correctly simuated by HHH.

    And THIS DDD, when correctly simulated halts.

    The problem is you LIE about what DDD is, as it needs to be a FULL
    PROGRAM, which means it includes the code for THE HHH that it calls, and
    thus changing HHH as you try is just a LIE as you end up with a
    DIFFERENT DDD.

    without the code of HHH, you can't "simulate the input" past the call
    HHH instruction.

    Thus, all you have done is proved that you logic is based on LYING
    because you just don't understand what you are talking about.

    No, it is not more conventional, only more deceptive.

    If we said that halting is stopping running
    for any reason then HHH would have to say
    that these two functions halt.

    That is a good reason to not say so. After all, a behaviour is either
    halting or non-halting but not both even if the execution is never
    started.

    void DDD()
    {
       HHH(DDD);
       return;
    }

    Halting is only defined as reaching one's own "return"
    statement final halt state.

    DDD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly do that.

    DDD is specified to halt. HHH cannot fully reproduce the specified
    behaviour nor otherwise determine that it nalts.

    (1) That is counter-factual.

    No, it is not.

    Neither HHH() nor DDD() nor DDD
    simulated by HHH ever stops running unless HHH(DDD) aborts
    its input.

    Yes, that is what I said.

    (2) I have never been taking about DDD() the behavior of a non-input.
    Turing machines are only accountable for the behavior that their
    inputs specify, they are never accountable for any non-inputs.

    The behaviour specified by DDD is what the question is about. That
    your HHH is unable to find the correct answer to that question does
    not affect the meaning of the question or correctness of any answer.

    (3) When I make a claim about DDD simulated by HHH and this is
    changed to the behavior of the directly executed DDD this is
    a dishonest tactic known as the strawman error.

    When you make a claim about "DDD simulated by HHH" you apparently
    don't know what the words mean. The DDD simulated by HHH is the
    same as DDD executed directly and it specifies the same behaviour
    no matter how you call it.

    But the halting problem is about the direct execution. If you are
    talking about something else you are talking about something else.
    When you pretend to talk about halting problem when you actually
    talk about simulation by HHH you lying.

    void DDD()

    HHH simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    that simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    that simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    that simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    that simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    that simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    that simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    that simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
    that simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)

    This is stipulated by the basic structure
    of the relationship between DDD and each HHH.

    Then you are stipulating that you HHH isn't allowed to abort its
    simulation without making you a liar.>

    Appearances can be false or misleading. However, in absense of contrary information, being true is more likely.
