If the decision of HHH(DD) is non-halting then DD() will do the opposite 
thus proving that HHH is incorrect and confirming that the Halting Problem 
is undecidable.

In plainer words, you are just showing that you can't go into more 
detail, as that makes your lies clear, so you need to use approximations 
to hide your errors that the more precise discussion makes clear.

Sorry, that is just one of the classic techniques of liars.

You mean like the fact that the correct emulaiton of code doesn't depend

Which is meaningless, as you feed them all the same biased description, 
that when fixed lets them give the answer you reject.

SO, are LLMs reliable? if so, then you need to accept that they say you 
are wrong.

If they aren't, you are just showing you logic is baseless as it is 
based on something unreliable.

Right, so if HHH doesn't abort, it will be non-haltig.

But if it does abort and return 0, so will the HHH that DD calls, and 
thus it will halt.

Thus, there is no finite pattern that can be detected, and the false 
assumption that there is a finite patter to detect is just incorrect.

But, any HHH that meetes the requirements to be a decider, must let DD 
get to that if.

Your imagined HHH just fails to meet the requirements, so the program 
that meets your requirements (which don't allow it to run forever) 
doesn't exist.

...and when HHH eventually reports?

But of course that's self-evident.

The above execution trace seems self-evident to me.
Do you see this now that it has been pointed out?

Three different LLM systems did figure out that
execution trace on their own.

Line 996 matches the
*recursive simulation non-halting behavior pattern*
https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c

Its not as self-evident, yet all three LLM systems
recognized that this pattern has been matched and I
did not even tell them that this pattern exists.

The initial post in this thread was the entire basis
that these three LLM systems had.

It's self-evident...that HHH must either fail to report or report

You see? AIs can be wrong too. But that's also self-evident.

But seem to be too stupid to be able to look forward and see that if HHH 
does abort, and thus doesn't do a correct simulation, that the correct 
simulation of the input will do the same and return 0, and DD will halt.

Part of your problem is you beleived your own lie that it needs to be 
HHH to do the correct simulation, when that is just a falsehood, related 
to you confusions about truth and knowledge.

Things can be true that are unknown, or unknowable, or unprovable.

That concept seems to be beyond your head, and make you think that means 
that nothing is knowable, which is just a false dichotomy,

That is the strawman error of reasoning.

The answer to that question was self-evident to me and
three LLM systems:

How is it not self-evident to you?
Can you not figure out the execution trace of
DD correctly simulated by HHH?

Which assumes that there is one.


Your problem is that fallacy of the presumed condition.

IT is just like, Have you stopped beating your wife?

or, for your

Have you stopped owning and watching illegal kiddie porn?

(Only that one isn't so much based on a false assumption).

The problem is there is not pattern that HHH can detect in its 
simulation of DD, to abort on, that still leaves DD non-halting, because 
DD uses the exact same code in its call to HHH, so if HHH thinks the 
input is non-halting, it will be haltig.

All you are doing is forgetting one step of the logic.

An program actually built on that rule would be non-halting on this 
input, as it turns out that there is no pattern that can be detected, 
which still leaves the resultant DD non-halting.

As you have encountered, HHH->DD->HHH->DD.... HHH and DD both will not return

HHH(DD) should return 1 or 0 according to its desired spec.
But, HHH(DD) does not return. HHH does meet the desired spec.

Correction: HHH does not meet the desired spec.

They are premises that have been proved true on
some inputs.

You ignored the first premise, LLM
systems don't make that mistake.

There were no proofs, only your dreams.
The fact is that your published HHH fails, because it incorrectly 
*assumes* non-termination, not detects non-termination.
The other fact is that both (a) and (b) lead to a contradiction,
proving that they are incorrect.
You can correct that by replacing (a):
(a) Assumes a non-termination pattern, where it does not exist: abort 
simulation and return 0.

Try that and the AI will show correct answers.
You cannot prove that HHH is correct by assuming in the premise that it 
is correct.

It doesn't f**king matter what HHH(DD) returns because DD() will do the 
f**king opposite thus confirming the extant Halting Problem proofs are 
correct.
