    Which bit of "HHH gets the wrong answer" don't you understand?

    No, it's like you tell them halting = non-halting and they don't

    <puerile repetition snipped>


    Actually, he HAS conceded that DD is an input, and that as an input
    it represents the behavior of DD directly executed, but he will try
    to deny that concession.

    Then if he's reporting on his input (as seems only itting), he should
    be reporting on DD's behaviour, not the simulation's behaviour.
    (Clearly, they differ.)


    You keep failing to understand that the actual behavior
    specified by the actual input is measured by DD correctly
    simulated by HHH.


    Then you lied that you are doing the halting problem, as that isn't the criteria of a halt decider.

    Most everyone have been totally ignoring the actual
    execution trace of DD correctly simulated by HHH.
    Its like I tell them 2 + 6 = 8 and they disagree.

    But you keep on saying the correct meaning of "DD" is something that it
    isn't, because you look at a different thing you try to call DD.



    The problem is he as specified that HHH is a counter example to the
    proof, and thus that DD is the "pathological input" of the proof,
    which is semantically defined to "Ask the decider to answer about the
    direct execution of myself, where I will do the opposite of what the
    decider will say".

    One doesn't solve programming problems by calling them names. The task
    of determining whether an input program halts is well-defined. The
    task of using a solution to that problem to twist its tail is well-
    defined. No pathology need apply.

    Since he encodes this statement, in part, with HHH(DD), that call
    MUST be DD asking HHH to decide on the direct execution of itself,
    namely DD.

    Well, he is asking HHH to decide on the algorithm specified by the DD
    source code, which is very clearly not the algorithm he is simulating.

    This means that when he tries to say that as in input it can't mean
    to refer to that direct execution (because Turing Machines can't do
    that) he is admitting defeat or that he has a bug in his code
    defining DD.

    His bug is in thinking that one path through the algorithm is all that
    DD does. HHH halts the DD simulation when it thinks it's going to
    recurse for ever, but never stops to think what DD might do if it /
    doesn't recurse for ever - as in, for example, when its call to HHH
    backs out of a potentially infinite recursion by pruning a branch of
    the simulation and returning 0 to DD (the direct execution, that is).

    It also means that DD must be an actual PROGRAM (which he will deny,
    proving himself a liar) and thus to call HHH, HHH must be an actual
    program too, and can't be that "infinite set of deciders" as you
    can't call such a thing.

    Well, we know what DD the program does when HHH the program does what
    its author claims. HHH claims that DD never halts and yields 0, and DD
    then halts, so HHH the program is not a decider for DD the program.

    DD halts. We've all seen it halt.

    Everyone moronically stupidly thinks that they can

    HHH(DD) in recursive simulation.

    That's not half so moronic as equating "halts" and "doesn't halt".


    I just empirically proved that DD correctly simulated
    by HHH cannot possibly stop running by removing the

    That's not the program we're talking about.

    You keep insisting that HHH must return 0 for DD. /That's/ the
    program we're talking about.

    When you change the program (and DD calls HHH, so changing HHH
    means changing DD), you change its behaviour.

    Now run DD from main WITHOUT changing HHH. You don't get to
    change what you're measuring before you measure.

    It does not change the sequence of instructions
    of DD correctly simulated by HHH thus does not
    change the halt status criteria:

    It changes the behaviour of DD. It is therefore consequential.

    When HHH is called, it burns a fuse which changes the behavior of a
    subsequent HHH call. That subsqeuent HHH call is made by DD. Thus, DD
    was changed from being terminating to a different procedure which is non-terminating.

    But the verdic of your top-level HHH(DD) call, which returns 0, must be interpreted as being a verdict of the original DD which halted.

    At the time the top-level HHH(DD) call takes place, just before the
    function body of HHH begins executing, the fuse has not yet been burned,
    and so DD is sill the original, halting DD. That's the one being
    decided, not the modified DD.

    But that is how PO operates.

    There is /no/ logic underlying what he says. He just starts with saying something he /thinks/ ought
    to be true, and over time he tries out 100 different phrasings and "justifications" to see how they
    get on. Sometimes he abandons a phrasing, because it's ridiculed to such an extent that PO realises
    it is actively harming his position. I expect that will be the fate of the current "it does not
    change the sequence of instructions". He does not abandon it because he logically understands he
    made a mistake - it's purely a practical decision that it's not working...

    Occasionally he hits on a wording that has become so full of duffer-speak that it really isn't clear
    what he actually means by it, so posters [rather than forcing PO to clarify his intent, which they
    kind of know is a dead end] just decide on one of a number of translations which is surely "what PO
    must really be intending to say", and proceed on those grounds. That leads to lack of clarity and
    likely some discrepencies between approaches different posters are taking. PO takes that as
    SUCCESS! He has finally "improved his wording" to the extent that nobody understands what's going
    on [the idiots!], and nobody is able to "refute his argument" (to his satisfaction)!!

    Those phrasings make it into his go-to "fly spray" collection that he liberally sprays over all
    objections to his claims.

    Maybe, or maybe he never accepted the argument? I don't believe his level of comprehension is
    sufficient to genuinely accept someones counter-arguments, even if he (temporarily) /seems/ to agree
    with something. And people can certainly explain abstract concepts and definitions to him, but
    that's just not how his brain operates. (I think there might be some neural "divergence" in his
    brain wiring.) So people have explained, but PO hasn't understood and just carries on with what he
    knows.

    I think iIt's more like he recognises words in posters' arguments, and uses them to select a closely
    matching Objection-Be-Gone fly-spray from his collection. From time to time he finds an old can at
    the back of one of his shelves, and thinks "What did this one do? Let's see if it still works!".

    Many or most of your technical assessments of my work are correct.

    In the diagonalization proofs it doesn't matter what halting decision a
    halt decider, given a *description* of its caller as in input, reports to
    its caller because its caller will proceed to do the exact opposite
    causing a logical contradiction.

    was changed from being terminating to a different procedure which is
    non-terminating.

    But the verdic of your top-level HHH(DD) call, which returns 0, must be

    DD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly
    reach its own simulated "return" statement
    final halt state is proven by the fact that
    when the abort code is disabled that DD() never
    stops running.

    Again, this is obvious and uninteresting: so what?

    The counter-example input finally has a halt status that is not

    Make sure you carefully overlook all the people who contradict
    you. (And reality, which is the hardest contradictor of all.)

    <Input to LLM systems>
    Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern:
        abort simulation and return 0.

    Here olcott injects his incorrect dreams into the system.
    That HHH detects a non-termination behaviour pattern is counter-factual, because there is no such pattern, only a finite recursion.
    HHH has a bug. It ignores the conditional branch instructions
    encountered during the simulation and therefore incorrectly pretends
    that a finite recursion is non-termination behaviour.
    Olcott knows that, because it has been pointed out to him many times and
    he has no counter argument, but he keeps his dogmatic view that his
    dreams must be true and does not want to think about it. Therefore, he
    ignores it and does not want to continue the discussion, but simply
    repeats the incorrect old claims without any new evidence.

    Nowadays AI systems accept the input without verifying it, which makes
    that the can produce incorrect conclusions based on incorrect input.

    No, it always has the status opposite of what the decider said.

    Your POOP status isn't halt status. The fact that no version of HHH can simulate its version of the template DD was made from has no meaning for
    the instance DD made from a particular HHH.

    All you are doing is showing that you are just a stupid liar.

    Everyone that directly contradicts me only does

    As soon as HHH(DD) correctly rejects DD as a
    pure function of its input the HP proofs are
    proven to not derive their conclusion.


    No, your argument is directly contradicted by the verified facts that
    the wording of the Halting problem talks about the behavior of the
    directly executed program, which halts when you decider claims it doesn't.

    Everything else is just your lies and stupidity.
