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.

The behavior of DD simulated by HHH1 is the
same as the behavior of DD() executed from main.

The sound basis of this reasoning is the
semantics of the C programming language.

(a) Halt deciders are required to report on the
actual behavior that their actual input actually
specifies.

(b) The halting problem requires Halt deciders to
report on other than the actual behavior that their
actual input actually specifies making the halting
problem incorrect.

Liars try to claim that DD simulated by HHH

They are utterly dumbfounded when I ask them
to prove this by a contiguous execution trace
of DD simulated by HHH in C showing how and
why DD reaches its own simulated "return"

That is how and why we can know that they are

Without the implementation of HHH beng specified, we cannot tell; it
could be the case that HHH(DD) does not return.

If we assume that HHH(DD) returns 0, then obviously DD reaches
its return statement.

Otherwise obviously not.

You are completely at sea in the computer science of it,

Yes because no software engineer could possibly
have any idea what simulated means.

No software engineer has ever heard of that term
and also could not possibly know what a C interpreter
is. Even if they look it up they would still confuse
it for a person that translates English to Russian.

software engineers don't normally work with "simulated", they work with
"emulated" and "virtual". The latter refers to a generalisation of
"emulated" which includes machines that haven't actually existed.

"simulated" can include a wide variety of analyses that characterise a
system by relations between its starting states and ending states to
include statistical ones.

The use of simulate to mean emulate in discussion of the Halting Problem
seems to me to be obsolete now, if it /ever/ meant to strictly emulate.
Since halting analysis may include and even sometimes be completed by
syntactic analysis not just emulation/virtualisation the non-existence
of universal halting deciders and the existence of thwarters had to
cover the syntactic analysis cases.

https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
In the above case simulate does perfectly mean emulate
because HHH is anchored in a world class x86 emulator.

The problem with x86 emulation is essentially no one
has even a slight clue about the simple semantics of
the x86 language. Because of this I switched to simulate
as in a C interpreter emulates code written in C.

HHH has been a fully operational simulating termination
analyzer with a limited domain for three years.

It should not be an impossibly difficult issue for
an experienced C programmer to understand that when
one C function simulates another that this means
that the former is equivalent to a C interpreter
that is anchored in the semantics of the C programming
language.

No one needs to see the actual code of HHH to get
that gist. Above is the actual code.

No, just yourself.

Mike Terry and I have done a decent job of working with your simulation
stack and and understanding it.

You claimed this very shortly after I published a fork of
of the x86utm, capable of showing that simulations abandoned
by a decider can be continued and shown to terminate when
the decider decided 0.

You insinuated that you are disavowing that whole simulation stack,
by saying that academics don't understand x86, and that you are
planning to move to something else.

It is you who don't understand; you don't know how to respond
to code with code. You've forgotten how it all works and have
no idea how to defend it against objections expressed with code.

Can you point to a time when you made the above remark /prior/
to the work which shows, wth code, that abandoned simulations decided as
nonterminating are terminating?

Prior to that time, you insisted that you proved all your results
with concrete x86 code. And that everyone not tracing and otherwise
engaging with your x86 code is not doing a proper job of arguing
against you --- perhaps because they are too stupid to understand it.

Now it turns out the one too stupid to undertand x86 and respond
to code with code is actually YOU!

> Because of this I switched to simulate
> as in a C interpreter emulates code written in C.

Continued simulations can easily be shown in such a substrate also,
and will be even more obvious and understandable.

I manually showed such a trace.

How does it emulate say CMPXCHG8B? Or LOCK CMPXCHG16B? Does it know that 
XCHG has an implied LOCK for legacy reasons?

Why not look at the code and work out the answer, then you could let us all know.  PO's test code in 
halt7.obj does not use those instructions.

 From a quick glance, if the opcode is 0F C7, that instruction is not implemented.  (Illegal opcode)

I blocked Chris so I cannot see what he says directly

Here is the whole Halt7.c file translated to x86 assembly language
it also includes the full trace of DD simulated by HHH from
the invocation of HHH in main to the end of main.

Oh. Shit. I thought that his emulator/simulator could handle x86. Fwiw, 
actually, I helped the pellesc compiler guys:

The following is from the top of the libx86emu .MD file:

-----------------------------------
# x86 emulation library

libx86emu is a small library to emulate x86 instructions. The focus here is not a complete emulation 
(go for qemu for this) but to cover enough for typical firmware blobs.

At the moment 'regular' 32-bit instructions are covered together with basic protected mode support.

Not done are fpu, mmx, or any of the other instruction set extensions.

The library lets you

   - intercept any memory access or directly map real memory ranges
   - intercept any i/o access, map real i/o ports, or block any real i/o
   - intercept any interrupt
   - provides hook to run after each instruction
   - recognizes a special x86 instruction that can trigger logging
   - has integrated logging to
     - trace code execution, including register content and decoded instruction
     - trace memory and i/o accesses
     - provide statistics about accessed memory locations, i/o ports, and interrupts
...
-----------------------------------

So... no mention of a specific version of x86 or what chipsets are supported etc..  I think there is 
basically one guy maintaining it, and it does what it does, which is the bits he has got around to 
implementing.  That's fine - it only claims to be a "small library".  (Not a "world class" library - 
those are PO's words...  Remember this is the library PO decided to use, not PO's code.)

I spot some TODO comments in the double byte op code table: for cmpxchg, and for xadd, and what 
looks like some ring 0 ops.

Mike.

Thank you for that info Mike. Might have more time tonight to get back 
to you on this. Working on some 3d render shit (geometry shaders) right 
now. Humm... For some damn reason, not exactly sure why, but I think 
that Olcott might like to hack around with KEGS full IIGS emulator when 
he gets some free time to burn:

https://kegs.sourceforge.net

At least its rather complete? FWIW, he posts over on comp.arch

No, just yourself.

Mike Terry and I have done a decent job of working with your simulation
stack and and understanding it.

You claimed this very shortly after I published a fork of
of the x86utm, capable of showing that simulations abandoned
by a decider can be continued and shown to terminate when
the decider decided 0.

You insinuated that you are disavowing that whole simulation stack,
by saying that academics don't understand x86, and that you are
planning to move to something else.

It is you who don't understand; you don't know how to respond
to code with code. You've forgotten how it all works and have
no idea how to defend it against objections expressed with code.

Can you point to a time when you made the above remark /prior/
to the work which shows, wth code, that abandoned simulations decided as
nonterminating are terminating?

Prior to that time, you insisted that you proved all your results
with concrete x86 code. And that everyone not tracing and otherwise
engaging with your x86 code is not doing a proper job of arguing
against you --- perhaps because they are too stupid to understand it.

Now it turns out the one too stupid to undertand x86 and respond
to code with code is actually YOU!

> Because of this I switched to simulate
> as in a C interpreter emulates code written in C.

Continued simulations can easily be shown in such a substrate also,
and will be even more obvious and understandable.

I manually showed such a trace.

   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

   H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
   specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.

yes, it takes /single/ machine input a outputs whether /any/ other 
machine could compute the input machine's halting semantics.

Have you read Kaz's response to my post?  That explains why for any given machine, there is always 
some other machine that computes the halting status of that machine.  Basically there are only two 
possible behaviours: halts or neverhalts.  We just need two machines H1 and H0 that straight away 
return halts/neverhalts respectively.  For any machine M, either H1 or H0 correctly computes M's 
halting status, so assuming normal terminology use, any single M is decideable.  (And by extension, 
halting for any finite set of machines is decidable.)

Sometimes people attempt to come up with reasons why H1 and H0 don't count.  That was certainly PO's 
response, and his explanation was that H1 and H0 are disqualified as halt deciders because they 
"aren't even trying".  He has never explained what it means for a TM to "not really try" to do 
something; of course, TMs are just what they are, without "trying" to do anything.  We're not 
talking about an olympic sport where there are points awarded for effort/artistic interpretation 
etc., it's all just "whether they work".

[Also, people like PO often confuse what the halting problem says, believing that it is implying 
that there is some machine M which "cannot be decided".  That's a misunderstanding...]

Anyhow, all of that is completely missing the point of the halting problem - that is to find /one/ 
machine H that can decide /any/ input M_desc.  Finding a machine that can decide one specific input 
is trivial.

Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this (yes/no) question?
E C R Hehner. Objective and Subjective Specifications
WST Workshop on Termination, Oxford.  2018 July 18.
See https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hehner/OSS.pdf

For decider H and input D pair where D does
the opposite of whatever H reports we only
have the Liar Paradox. The Liar Paradox
is semantically unsound.
