By that "reasoning" (using the term very loosely), when you run 
H(Infinite_Recursion) and H suspends Infinite_recursion, it not only 
entails that Infinite_Recursion (the thing being simulating) is 
non-halting, but also that H (the simulator) is non-halting.

Remember that a decider, *by definition* must be guaranteed to halt and 
return a result.

When you run P(P) as an independent computation, the H inside P behaves 
identically to the *top-level* H in H(P, P). Both are the thing doing 
the simulating, not the thing being simulated.

I prove that this is not true by actually showing the steps of infinite

When you do not segregate the behavior being measured from the measure 
of the behavior pathological self-reference(Olcott 2004) occurs.

Even after thousands of years people still do not understand that self 
contradictory expressions of language do not map to a Boolean value only 
because they are erroneous.

Tarski has a whole undefinability of truth theorem that is entirely 
based on the impossibility of proving that a lie is true.

How dumb is that?

http://www.liarparadox.org/Tarski_247_248.pdf

http://www.liarparadox.org/Tarski_275_276.pdf

The Tarski theorem is exactly as if the 1931 Gödel incompleteness 
theorem has been translated to HOL having an actual provability 
predicate:  x ∉ Pr if and only if p

In the above expression x ∉ Pr is intended to mean: Provable(x)

You seem to be entirely missing my point.

Compare the following:

(1) When we run H(P, P), the topmost H is *not* being simulated. It 
starts simulating its input, and at some point it suspends that simulation.

(2) When we run P(P), the H at the beginning of the topmost P is *not* 
being simulated. It starts simulating its input and at some point it 
suspends its simulation.

In the first case, you conclude that the input to H is non-halting based 
on the fact that it has been suspended, but you acknowledge that H halts.

In the second case, you conclude that the input the the H at the 
beginning of the topmost P is non-halting based on the fact that it has 
been suspended, but you somehow also conclude that the topmost P does 
not halt.

How can you claim that the topmost H halts in (1), but that the topmost 
P doesn't halt in (2). These are identical in all respects. Either your 
argument that P(P) doesn't halt is invalid, or your reasoning also 
entails that H(P, P) does not halt (which would violate the claim that H 
is a decider). Which is it?

The fact that it must suspend the simulation at one point because the 
simulation <is> infinite proves beyond all possible doubt that the halt 
decider was correct at that point.

It does not matter what happens after that point.
It does not matter what happens after that point.
It does not matter what happens after that point.

If you know that an animal is a cat by testing its DNA then you know 
that it is a cat even if this cat barks.

This is where you <are> dumber than a box of rocks.
This is where you <are> dumber than a box of rocks.
This is where you <are> dumber than a box of rocks.

It is not that H made some arbitrary decision to suspend its input and 
we are relying on this arbitrary decision.

It is the logical necessity that unless H suspends its input the 
simulation of its input is necessarily infinite thus conclusively 
proving beyond all possible doubt that P(P) <is> a computation that 
never halts.

When H can monitor all of the behavior of P(P) H immediately aborts P 
before ever returning any value to P. When P has sneaky behavior behind 
the back of H, H cannot immediately terminate P. Drug dealers can get 
away with bad things until the cops are watching. When the cops are 
watching the behavior of the drug dealer is aborted.

Nowhere above do I claim the decision is arbitrary, nor is that relevant

You seem to be entirely ignoring my question. Do you claim that H(P, P) 
halts?

If so, how can you claim that P(P), when run as an *independent* 
computation, does not halt given that it performs the exact same steps 
as H(P, P)? Both start simulating what you describe as an 'infinitely 
nested simulation' and both suspend that simulation at some point for 
identical reasons.

I claim that H(P,P) always correctly decides that its input never halts.
This remains true no matter what happens after H(P,P) is correctly decided.

When we test the DNA of a cat and find that it is definitely a cat and 
this cat later gives birth to purebred Chihuahua puppies we know for 
sure that it is definitely a cat.

According to GUA https://groups.google.com/g/comp.theory/c/65ZaXe9Sabk, H tries
to decide the (dynamic) property of P that P can defy, thus, H is undecidable.

Your H is a false teller.

When-so-ever any yes/no question lacks a correct yes/no answer this 
question is incorrect.

When-so-ever a TM/input pair to a decision problem lacks a correct 
Boolean return value the TM/input pair is incorrect.

SO that means your question about what H needs to return is incorrect.

Note, the Question of the Halting Problem is does P(I) reach its halt
state in a finite number of steps, which given your H, then for P and I
being the machine H^ as defined by Linz, their IS a definite answer: YES.

H just doesn't give that answer, so is wrong.

SO actually DEFINE your TM, the problem is you question isn't really
about a TM/input pair, but about the design of a TM, so you 'impossible'
answer just says that such a TM doesn't exist, so PROVES the theory you
are trying to refute.

The question of the halting problem is exactly like the question:
Have you stopped beating your wife?

The context matters.
When you ask a guy that has never been married the question is incorrect 
because both yes and no are the wrong answer.

When you ask a guy that is married and has beaten his wife then exactly 
one of yes or no is the correct answer.

When you ask whether or not a program halts on its input and you are 
asking what Boolean value can a TM correctly return to its input when 
its input does the opposite of whatever value the TM returns, this is an 
incorrect question when all of the context of the question is considered 
because both Boolean values are the wrong return value.

We are not asking whether or not the input halts on its input that 
question always has a correct answer for every TM / input pair.

We are asking which Boolean value can H return to P is the correct halt 
status of P? false is wrong, true is wrong thus the question is wrong.

When the halting problem is applied to a TM/input such that the TM must 
return a halt status value to an input that does the opposite of 
whatever it decides both true and false are incorrect return values thus 
proving the error in this precise context of the halting problem.

Woefully dishonest people continually ignore this key context.
When we ask a man that has never been married:
Have you stopped beating your wife?
the context (that he has never been married) makes the question itself 
incorrect.

It is the same context (that the input P does the opposite of whatever H 
decides) that makes the halting problem question incorrect in this case.

My H does provide the correct answer because it essentially tells its 
input P to shut the Hell up by aborting its whole process.

WRONG. UNSOUND LOGIC. You are presuming that you CAN create a machine
that always answer the question correctly. THIS IS NOT A GIVEN.

THe fact that you can not build an H that can give the right answer to a
machine that is built on H is NOT a contradiction. It just shows that no
H can exist that gets the answer right, not that there isn't a right
answer to the REAL Haltig Problem Question.

Well Have you?

And actually, it isn't.

The REAL question of the Halting Problem is "Does the Turing Machine P
given input I come to a halting state in a finite number of steps, or not?"

THIS question ALWAYS has a correct answer, as it will ALWAYS be either
Yes it Halts, or No it never halts.

So in what context does a Turing Machine neither Halt or Not-Halt? The
only case I can think of is if it isn't a Turing Machine, but the
question is only asked of Turing Machines.

Yes, YOUR WRONG question can be a bit like that,
>

But this isn't the case.

You have it wrong here. There IS a right answer to the question of P(I)
halting. H can never give that answer, in part because H has to be fixed
before H^ (which you are calling P) is created. There is NO
contradiction here, H is just wrong. There is NO rule that you can quote
to say that there has to be an H that can get this problem right. NONE.

That is the flaw in your argument, you PRESUME that there exists a
machine that can universally answer the Question of the Halting Problem,
when there actually is none.

> 
> We are not asking whether or not the input halts on its input that

And why not, that IS the Question of the Halting Problem? Which even
youy agree always has an answer.
> 
> We are asking which Boolean value can H return to P is the correct halt

And as said above, this is NOT the question of the Halting Problem.

This is the question needed to be solved to DESIGN a Halting Decider
that can counter something like the Linz proof. Your proof that there is
no right answer just reconfirms Linz and the like, showing that it is
impossible to design an H that can correctly answer to the H^ machine
made from it. (I perfectly legal Turing Machine Transform).

And this gets back to the one exception to the rule that all Turing
Machine have a definite answer that the Halt or they are Non-Halting, if
H doesn't exist, then neither does H^, so H^(H^) isn't a Turing Machine
and doesn't need to Halt or not.


FAIR WARNING.

You have made this same arguement many times, and totally ignore the
responses that show you are wrong.

If you fail to actually provide a REAL SOUND ANALYTICAL argument showing
an error in this rebuttal, I reserve the right to just refer to this
message to indicate that you arguement has been disproven and anythig
that follows from it is thus an unsound argument.

When you provide the context of a TM/input pair then the brand new idea 
that I created "incorrect question" is formed:

When-so-ever a yes/no question has no correct answer from the set of 
yes/no or a decision problem TM/input pair has has no final state 
indicting a correct Boolean value then it is an error.

Undecidability has always only been an error.
It is not that the correct true/false value cannot be chosen by the TM.
It is that both true/false values are the wrong answer.

In my case this issue is solved. H(P,P) always aborts its input never 
returning any value to its input.

UNRESPONSIVE.

You can NOT change the basis of a Theorem and claim to be working on it
at the same time,

ZERO grounds for the alternate question.

The Actual question for the Halting problem has an answer that exists,
and for the case in view the answer is that H^(H^) for your H is a
Halting Computation and H gave the wrong answer.

Your statement is still DISPROVEN.

FAIL.

H_Hat is constructed after H. There's always a right answer -
H_Hat(H_Hat) either halts or it does not. But H always gets that answer
wrong.

We seem to be going back to the "abort rather than return control" and
maybe "the operating system contains a halt decider" ideas.

Both H and P are static machine-code in a COFF object file.

When the question is what Boolean value can H correctly return to an 
input that does the opposite of what H decides it is as obvious as Hell 
that there is no correct answer to this specific question.

When you change the question to: Does H P halt on its input you are not 
answering the actual question with its full context.

> H_Hat(H_Hat) either halts or it does not. But H always gets that answer
> wrong.

Because the full context of the question proves that no Boolean value 
returned by H to an input that does the opposite of whatever H decides 
is a correct answer. When-so-ever zero elements of the solution set are 
a correct answer then the question itself is incorrect.

No H has ever returned any value to its input.

That's your question.  It's not the halting problem "question".  You
gave us the correct answer to that question for your H^ (now called P)
when you posted a trace showing that it halts.  (And you'd also said so,
using rather timid language, before that as well.)

You are, instead, asking the halting problem "question".  This is a
question that always has a correct yes/no answer, thought algorithm can
determine which in every case.
