You said they be identical. If they are not equivlaent they can't
be identical.

Identical code and different behavior
because D calls H in recursive simulation
and D does not call H1 in recursive simulation.

What? Where? All you ever post these days is useless talk.

Bleeping idiot, of course it was the "execution trace in my head"
which led me to the realization that abandoned simulations of D have
a continuable future which leads to termination.

But exeution traces in one's head ARE NOT WORTH A FUCK. You have
to turn them into some kind of real work in the world.

I did that. To TEST THE VALIDITY OF MY IDEA with SOMETHING REAL,
I took the available platform for nested simulations, the mighty
x86utm, and showed to myself what I'm talking about.

Now you want to move the goalposts back to mental-trace land,
since you can't handle the results.

I WARNED YOU since August or early September that this would be
possible; that someone might come along and start tinkering with your
x86utm to see what happens if abandoned simulations are stepped.

You had several months to do that yourself, and prepare a defense; to
validate that your simulated D under H indeed behaves differently from
the direct D, and fails to terminate.  (You have the code for that in
place, it just isn't working!!!)

You had all this time to look into this, do it yoursel and
fix up your code and accompanying rhetoric in some suitable way.

Now you are just dodging and trying to steer things to mental-trace
land, which is all you had before the x86utm.  That's the wrong
direction! Ideas generally go form "in your head" to "real thing in the
world showing a result", not the other way around.

Since x86utm is suddenly no good any more (I wonder why) post your new
project where you have differently re-worked your ideas about aborting H
simulating D, again with real executable traces.

I will shoot that down easily, too.

Until then, you have less than nothing. Just empty clap trap with
obvious logical inconsistencies, and digital parrots on your shoulder
whispering what you want to hear.

int D()
{
   int Halt_Status = H(D);
   if (Halt_Status)
     HERE: goto HERE;
   return Halt_Status;
}

Then try and prove this by showing an execution
trace of D simulated by H entirely in C.

Don't show any execution trace of anything besides
D and do this entirely in C. I will get you started:

H simulates D that calls H(D) that simulates D that calls H(D)

What step(s) of D come next in C?

When I posted a detailed symbolic statement-by-statememnt trace using C
syntax several days ago, you just snipped it and ignored it, repeating
your question.

My trace showed which part of the syntax was being currently
interpreted, and the values of some variables.

Not only have you no idea what the trace is supposed looks like, you
can't even recognize it when you see it in some concrete form.

You are making every effort to make communicating with you impossible,
because that's how you think you can ward off threat.

You did not stick with an execution trace of D and only D
showing that and how D reaches its own "return" statement
final halt state when simulated and only simulated by H.

It was a warm-up exercise. The example H wasn't the aborting H.

You made no remarks on the format: is that a good way or bad
way to trace executions of just C.

I invented some fictitious API's into the interpreter that H could use
for setting up and stepping a simulation; you made no comments about it.

The first thing D does when entered is call H(D), so we need an H
to trace concretely.

How about this minimal viable H:

  #include <interpret.h>  // C interpreter's own API

  bool H(fptr P)
  {
     interp *s = interp_init(P);

     for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        if (interp_step(s))
           return true;
     }

     return false;
  }

H initializes an interpreter for its argument P. Then it applies a very
simple abort logic: it steps the interpreter state three times. If
during those three steps, P terminates, it returns true. Otherwise it
assumes P is nonterminating and returns false.

(Pretend that more complicated abort criteria are there.)

The interpreter API consists of primitives built into the system, so
it isn't traced.

So then we have D:

  void D(void)
  {
     if (H(D)) { for (;;); }
     return;
  }

Let's trace H(D). We indicate the simulation levels from 0,
step numbers from 1 within each level, with a bit of indentation
to tell apart the levels:

Level Step  Code                                 Vars

0     1     if (H(D)) ... 
0     2     H(D)
0     3     interp *s = interp_init(P); ...      P = D; s = #<garbage>
0     4     for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ...       P = D; s = #<interp0>; i = 0
0     5     if (interp_step(s)) ...              P = D; s = #<interp0>; i = 0
 1     1      if (H(D)) ...
0     6     for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ...       P = D; s = #<interp0>; i = 1
0     7     if (interp_step(s)) ...              P = D; s = #<interp0>; i = 0
 1     2      H(D)
0     7     for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ...       P = D; s = #<interp0>; i = 2
0     7     if (interp_step(s)) ...              P = D; s = #<interp0>; i = 0
 1     3     interp *s = interp_init(P); ...      P = D; s = #<garbage>
0     8     for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ...       P = D; s = #<interp0>; i = 3
0     9     return false;                        P = D; s = #<interp0>; i = 3

OK, so after those 3 steps, H(D) has returned false. The D simulation
proceeded far enough to hit the "interp_init(P)" calculation, to create
the next simulation level.

The D simulation is not "totally killed"; it (the #<interp0> object)
continues to exist. 

The interpreter machine can identify it and continue to step it: to do
the reckoning.

Level Step  Code                                 Vars

 1     3     interp *s = interp_init(P); ...      P = D; s = #<garbage>
 1     4     for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ...       P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 0
 1     5     if (interp_step(s)) ...              P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 0
  2     1      if (H(D)) ...
 1     6     for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ...       P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 1
 1     7     if (interp_step(s)) ...              P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 0
  2     2      H(D)
 1     7     for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ...       P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 2
 1     7     if (interp_step(s)) ...              P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 0
  2     3     interp *s = interp_init(P); ...      P = D; s = #<garbage>
 1     8     for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ...       P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 3
 1     9     return false;                        P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 3
 1     10    if (#<false>) { for(;;); }
 1     11    return;

At simulation level 1, step 9, the simulated H(D) returns false. 

Step 10 is back in the simulated D(). The evaluated value of H(D)
is false, shown by #<false>. The if statement falls through.

Step 11 is the return statement reached by D.

When we continue the simulation D that H started and abandoned,
its return statement is reached.

What continues the simulation? The "reckoning" machinery in the UTM
which runs the H(D) test case. When the test case returns, this code
kicks in to check for the oldest unfinished simulation and keeps
stepping it to try to show whether H(D) returning false was the right
verdict.

I have shown the concept using a simple simulating halt decider H wth a
minimal viable abort test, consisting of trying to run the input for
three instructions and then abandoning it as non-terminating.

You may find the criteria too simple, but if you drill into it, you will
find they don't matter. More complicated criteria which try to detect a
repeating pattern of some kind will not change the outcome.

All that matters is that the simulated D gets a false return value from
the simulated H(D) somehow. It could take three steps, or three billion.

Sure we can do that the same way that
you said we could do it for this:

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

Or you could have much more simply made N larger.
The convolution of these extra steps merely hides
the simple essential truth.

Yes that part was an excellent empirical proof.
You could just keep increasing N until out-of-memory
error. This would form a reasonably plausible proof
that comes short of absolute certainty.

The absolute certainty comes by simply recognizing
the behavior pattern that D simulated cannot possibly
reach its own "return" statement no matter what H does.

Almost everyone here should have recognized that
this is only slightly more complex than infinite
recursion three years ago.

If you substitute that for D in my above simulation, you will find
that, no, that doesn't terminate.  The example H will give up after the
three steps, just like before, and return 0, leaving an abandoned
#<interp0> simulation.

When we continue stepping the abandoned #<interp0>, it will just be
trapped in the HERE: goto HERE (confirming that 0 was the
correct return value).

It is specifically the diagonal D which reaches its return statement
due to H's return value being 0, including in simulation.

Mike Terry posted some new execution traces from the x86utm with
reckoning continuation. He wrote a new test case: a clean version
of HHH and DDD (called MJT_HHH and MJT_DDD) which do not rely on
mutated static data:

He's getting a nice "infinite tower" in which every MJT_HHH
returns 0 to its respective MJT_DDD, which then terminates.
He posted this:

Trace 3:  MJT_HHH(MJT_DD).  These have the same abort logic as HHH, but
           without the global variable misuse.  HHH[0] decides non-halting.
           Resumed simulations all halt with same behaviour as HHH[n] deciding
           non-halting (like HHH[0]) then DDD[n] returning.
    DDD[1] ends, after HHH[1] detects "infinite recursion" and returns 0.
    DDD[2] ends, after HHH[2] detects "infinite recursion" and returns 0.
    DDD[3] ends, after HHH[3] detects "infinite recursion" and returns 0.
    DDD[4] ends, after HHH[4] detects "infinite recursion" and returns 0.

Mike added back your square brackets level indication, so we can see
the increasing simulation levels.

The tower keeps going, but the DDD's terminate.

If the memory management is done right, this should execute indefinitely.

Because it is not recursion, it is not chewing up space in a linear
stack. Every simuation gets a stack and state buffers from Allocate,
which can be released when the simulation terminates, keeping the peak
memory use constant.

Why are you complicating things, Kaz? It is really quite simple: D does 
the opposite of what H(D) reports thus H is wrong. Nothing more needs to 
be said on the matter.

I think Kaz and Mike were discussing their model of theory, not really
the HP.

To me, the basic idea of HP proof is a simple fact. All theories cannot
defy, whatever they are. If they can address the HP problem, they must
conform the fact.

Kaz finally affirmed the key element of my proof

But that has never been controversial.

The simulating procedure H(P) can never finish simulating its diagonal
case D, because no matter how H is defined, D requires more steps than H
performs.

H "spends" a certain "budget" of simulation steps and returns false;
that budget is always too short to cover the full cost of simulating D,
which requires a bunch more steps.

You propose the idea that a machine is nonterminating if the initial
portion of its execution steps is carried out by a simulating decider
which quits before that machine reaches its halting state.

Surely you must realize that looks crazy!?

It's not because of poor communication any more: everything is crystal
clear.

What is the rational argument why anyone should adopt your viewpoint?

We have a simulating decider H which rejects anything as nonterminating
if it requires four or more steps.

Obviously, that is incorrect for any machine which terminates in
four steps. And for any machine which terminqates in five steps.
And for any machine which terminates in six steps ...

And then we have D, which terminates in 11 steps; yet for that one,
the false is correct?

I just don't see how that is going to get you written into history
as the researcher who dismantled the halting problem.

He might be too daft to explore the fuzzer. It makes sure all paths are 
hit. It will play along for infinity... Say the user/fuzzer exposes DD 
to data that makes it hit the non-halt path over and over again... 
Olcott swoops in and cancels it before the program was completed! 
Actually, it would have halted, but the PO moron said no, I know better. 
Scary!

Good thing that Olcott is not going to make any processors any time 
soon. Heck... A server loop gets aborted because Olcott says it ran too 
long. All of the open and running connections get cut off, the server 
dies. Olcott is there on a soap box saying I told you it was 
non-terminating, that why I aborted it.
