Yet you cannot show that on the basis of reasoning
so you try to dishonestly get way with mere baseless
rhetoric.

typedef int (*ptr)();
int HHH(ptr P);

int DD()
{
   int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
   if (Halt_Status)
     HERE: goto HERE;
   return Halt_Status;
}

int main()
{
   HHH(DD);
}

If it was then DD simulated by HHH would derive
the same sequence of steps as DD simulated by HHH1.

HHH1 is identical to HHH except that DD does not
call HHH1 at all and DD calls HHH(DD) in recursive
simulation. That is the complete reason for the
different behavior.

That you flat out lie about this can be construed
as the "reckless disregard for the truth" that
loses libel cases. It cannot be construed as any
rebuttal of this self-evident truth.

In epistemology (theory of knowledge), a self-evident
proposition is a proposition that is known to be true
by understanding its meaning without proof...

I can, have done, as have many other posters here, and you just ignore
reasoning.

There's nothing wrong with the input, as many others have explained to
you many times.  It is HHH and HHH1 which are defective.  They are the
same function and return different results?  Haha!

I never lie on Usenet, as I have said before several times.  I care
deeply about the truth and truthfulness.  You lie continually in several
ways (one of them, right here, is your construction of a falsehood as a
"self-evident truth").  If you think I have committed libel, you are
welcome to sue me in a German court.  You would lose disastrously.

typedef int (*ptr)();
int HHH(ptr P);

int DD()
{
   int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
   if (Halt_Status)
     HERE: goto HERE;
   return Halt_Status;
}

int main()
{
   HHH(DD);
}

HHH simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)
that simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)...

HHH1 simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)
that returns to DD that returns to HHH1.

Until you show the correct execution traces proving
that DD simulated by HHH is the same as DD simulated
by HHH1 you are still showing a

"reckless disregard for the truth".
"reckless disregard for the truth".
"reckless disregard for the truth".
"reckless disregard for the truth".
"reckless disregard for the truth".

How would you do it differently now, how
would you somebody teach logic? What is your
logic teaching "theory", is it like

learning to ride a bike? You need some helping
hand that stabilizes your thought? Or can you
just start and then land on your face

flat on the asphalt?

Hi,

So you say I was your logic teacher? I doubt

In reply to#136062
Hi,

Is there a Slim Fermats Last Theorem (FLT) but
only for Lean4? There is a new proof:

We formalize a complete proof of the regular
case of Fermat's Last Theorem in the Lean4
theorem prover. Our formalization includes a
proof of Kummer's lemma, that is the main
obstruction to Fermat's Last Theorem for
regular primes. Rather than following the
modern proof of Kummer's lemma via class
field theory, we prove it by using Hilbert's
Theorems 90-94 in a way that is more
amenable to formalization.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.01466v3

Is this also available for Rocq or Isabelle/HOL.
In as far I feel with ChatGPTs invention of
a set theory book:

 > ai: The Incomparable Axioms — Koellner
(more philosophical, modern)

If we have to axiom systems A and B, it is
often easy to invoke proof theory and then
show A ⊆ B or B ⊆ A. Trouble might start if
we want to show A ⊈ B and B ⊈ A,

this traditional fell into the category of
model theory, but modern proof assistants might
be better off maybe. Such a proof could be
a pebble game, as in EF games,

or even some things that go beyond EF games.
Now for the question whether Rocq or Isabelle/HOL
has also a proof, the comparability of Axioms
is somehow aggravated, when different proof

systems have different foundations. What
we then need to compare is F+A with G+B,
where F and G are the varying foundations.
Who said that logic is easy and beautiful?

DD says, I can halt, or not halt... That is 100% true about DD. So, lets 
explore both paths, and fin the sim when they are _both_ hit. Actually, 
the following models your DD:
____________________________

5 PRINT "ct_dr_fuzz lol. ;^)"
6 P0 = 0
7 P1 = 0

10 REM Fuzzer... ;^)
20 A$ = "NOPE!"
30 IF RND(1) < .5 THEN A$ = "YES"

100 REM INPUT "Shall DD halt or not? " ; A$
110 PRINT "Shall DD halt or not? " ; A$
200 IF A$ = "YES" GOTO 666
300 P0 = P0 + 1
400 IF P0 > 0 AND P1 > 0 GOTO 1000
500 GOTO 10

666 PRINT "OK!"
667 P1 = P1 + 1
700 PRINT "NON_HALT P0 = "; P0
710 PRINT "HALT P1 = "; P1
720 IF P0 > 0 AND P1 > 0 GOTO 1000

Yes and now if you could just translate that

Not to denigrate you but I think that this

I am certainly not smarter than Turing, but you think you are.

I do not believe that HHH is required to report on the behavior
of its caller. There is no such thing.

In the computing environment you have devised, the top activation of HHH
has a caller, which is the (one and only) activation of main. That
observation is not interesting or relevant, and, more importantly,
/must/ not be relevant.

Pure functions do not have a context. Given an expression f(x, y),
it denotes eactly the same calculation no matter where it is placed,
provided that the placement does not override the meaning of the
symbol f (that is to say, there isn't a lexically enclosing
shadowing redefinition of f).

This property is called "referential transparency" in CS.

The test case D can incorporate any one of an infinite number
of possible representations of the /algorithm/ on which H is based.

It uses that algorithm, but does not call H.

The circumstances of the halting problem are not limited to the narrow
conception that is embodied in just your C programming experiment.

It is about algorithms, not specific functions in a programming
language, which are all in the same image, such that D
calls the same address H that is the procedure deciding it.

You've not acknowledged your mistakes, such as:

- continuing to use impure functions (e.g. mutating global
  execution trace buffer; distinguishing "Root == 1" H
  functions from "Root == 0").

- treating unequal addresses as necessarily unequal functions.

- conflating the instruction events from multiple simulations
  into a single execution trace buffer.

Woah there fella! The halting problem is about state machines, not pure
functions.

Which is not to say there aren't similarly devastating issues with the
other two points.

Recursive functions and Turing machines are equivalent. The halting
problem is about recursive functions too.

In any case, topics in the halting problem cannot be properly explored
using impure procedures --- not in such a way that we assume that those
procedures directly correspond to recursive functions. 

We can't have a procedure H whch has two behaviors based on whether it
is the first invocation or subsequent, and talk about that procedure as
a single recursive function H.

We may be able to model that function H as another function H' that
takes additional arguments representing all the external state that H
depends on. It becomes H(P, Root) instead of H(P). Then it is obvious
that H(D, True) and H(D, False) are different deciders.  We have to
explicitly pick which one of those two the diagonal case D invokes.

No. The Halting Theorem has no problems demonstrable with leaky
simulation (emulation) sandboxes.

Topics can be explored with leaky sandboxes, topics such as "How can
leaky sandboxes and their effects be characterised?" and "What are the
relationships between various recursive functions and various Turing
Machines and their generalisations?"

That is correct, but what you cannot say is that specific stateful
procedures in that leaky simulation correspond to pure recursive
functions in the theory of computation. (And, therefore, to
individual Turing Machines.)

You can build a model of your leaky sandbox in whch you identify
what the Turing Machines or functions are.

(Once you do that, it would probably make sense for your claims about
halting to revolve around that.)

Olcott's leaky Halt7.obj/x86utm_exe sandbox /cannot/ be
characterized in such a way we refer to the stateful C procedure
HHH as a recursive primitive function.

ChatGPT agrees yet in this case I cannot independently
verify that it is correct.

Why, how intellectually modest of you.

Can you describe what it is that you are not able to do, exactly?

What does it mean when you "verify" something correct?

I imagine it is something like, you search your mind for a baseless
belief backed by handwaving arguments whch matches the poposition
in question. If you find such a belief, then the proposition is
verified correct.  If you find an opposite belief, then the proposition
is incorrect. Otherwise it remains unverified.

Close?

Original Linz Turing Machine H applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩
H.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* H.qy // accept state
H.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* H.qn // reject state

Even Linz requires Ĥ.embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to report
on the behavior it its caller.

*From the bottom of page 319 has been adapted to this*
https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.∞, // accept state
    if Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩  halts, and

Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qn // reject state
    if Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩  does not halt

Ĥ.embedded_H cannot tell that it is not H

Ĥ.embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qn  // HHH(DD)==0
H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qy             // HHH1(DD)==1
