on ALL memebers of the input domain, must IN FACT, work on all members 
of that domain.

For a Halt Decider, that means the decider needs to be able to answer 
about ANY machine given to it as an input, even a machine that uses a 
copy of the decider and acts contrary to its answer.

If you are going to work on a different problem, you need to be honest 
about that and not LIE and say you are working on the Halting Problem.

And, if you are going to talk about a "Truth Predicate", which is 
defined to be able to take ANY "statement" and say if it is True or not, 
with "nonsense" statements (be they self-contradictory statements, or 
just nonsense) being just not-true.

ANY statement means any statement, so if we define this predicate as 
True(F, x) to be true if x is a statement that is true in the field F, 
then we need to be able to give this predicate the statemet:

In F de define s as NOT True(F, s)


If you claim that your logic is ACTUALLY "two-valued" then if True(F,s) 
returns false, because s is a statement without a truth value, then we 
have the problem that the definition of s now says that s has the value 
of NOT false, which is True.

So, the True predicate was WRONG, as True of a statement that IS true, 
must be true.

If True(F,s) is true, then we have that s is not defined as NOT true, 
which is false, so the True predicate is again WRONG.

The predicate isn't ALLOWED to say "I reject this input" as that isn't a 
truth value (since you claimed you are actually useing a two-valued 
logic) and this predicate is defined to ALWAYS return a truth value.

So, it seems you have a two-valued logic system with three logical values.

Which is just A LIE!

You are just proving you are too stupid to understand what you are 
talking about as you don't understand the meaning of the words you are 
using, as you just studied the system by Zero order principles.

Not at all.
An undecidable sentence of a theory K is a closed wf ℬ of K such that
neither ℬ nor ¬ℬ is a theorem of K, that is, such that not-⊢K ℬ and
not-⊢K ¬ℬ. (Mendelson: 2015:208)

The notion of incompleteness and undecidability requires non truth
bearers to be construed as truth bearers.

A proposition is a central concept in the philosophy of language,
semantics, logic, and related fields, often characterized as the primary
bearer of truth or falsity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposition

When we quit construing expressions that cannot possibly be true or
false as propositions then incompleteness and undecidability cease to
exist.

Gödel is essentially saying that expressions that are not propositions

Nope, and you stating that just proves your stupidity.

A Theory K will define its "language" and what statements it accepts 
within it. Normally that "language" excludes non-truth-bearers. This 
seems to be something outside your understanding, as you don't seem to 
understand anything about the nature of actual FORMAL logic systems, but 
seem to be stuck

Yes, non-truth bearing statements will be undecidable,

Nope. There exist statements that are True, in that they have an 
(infinite) sequence of connections from the truth makers of the system 
to the statement, but are not provable, as there is no FINITE sequence 
of connections that do so.

Godel's G is an example of this, stating that there does not exist a 
number that matches a specific property. Since the property is 
computable for all numbers, we know that G must be a truth bearer, as 
either such a number exists, or it doesn't exist.

This fact can be established in F, as either it is false, because we CAN 
find such a number, and the checking of the number with the relationship 
provides a definite proof that G is false, or no such number exists, and 
this is established by the INFINITE chain of checking every number, and 
seeing that none satisfies it.

We happen to be able to reduce that infinite chain to be finite in a 
partitulare meta-theory of F that understands a hidden meaning in the 
relationship, and allows us to PROVE that no such number exists.

This PROVES that G is a true statement. While the proof is in Meta-F, 
the proof also establishes that G is true in F.

Nope, not PROVES, but ESTABLISHES.

Truth_Bearer(F, x) ≡  ∃x ∈ F ((F ⊨ x) ∨ (F ⊨ ¬x))

Truth Bearing allows for the INFINTE sequence to establish the fact, 
even if that can not be a proof of it.

Yep, you can build another proof just like the one presented based on 
any epistemological antinomy. Note, the proof USES the antinomy, but 
does not "derive" from it, in that its validity and soundness are not 
based on the truth of the antinomy.

You don't seem to understand the syntactic transformation that was done 
on the statement at the beginning, that created a NEW PROPOSITION, that 
turns out to be a Truth Bearer.

"X says that X is not True in F", is an epistemological antinomy.

"X says that X is not Provable in F" is not, as the logical valuation of 
X being True but not Provable is a possible valid combination of states.

Nope.

Since you don't understand what Godel did, you are just showing you

That you persist is making the claim after being shown to be wrong, make 
you just a stupid pathological liar, and proves you just don't 
understand what Truth actually is.

That is too close to ad homimen.
If you think my reasoning is incorrect then point to the error
in my reasoning. Saying that in your opinion I am a bad teacher
is too close to ad hominem because it refers to your opinion of
me and utterly bypasses any of my reasoning.

Not at all. By combining them together we can simultaneously determine
syntactic and semantic correctness. By keeping them separate we have
misconstrued expressions that are not even propositions as propositions
that prove incompleteness and undecidability.

A proposition is a central concept in the philosophy of language,
semantics, logic, and related fields, often characterized as the primary
bearer of truth or falsity. Propositions are also often characterized as
being the kind of thing that declarative sentences denote.

If you claim I am a bad teacher you must point out what is wrong with
the lesson otherwise your claim that I am a bad teacher is essentially
an as hominem attack.

That is more direct ad hominem.
I claim that the error of logic is that it diverges from semantics
and https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-relevance/ proves
that I am correct about this and fixed the problem.

We construe this
Incomplete(F) ≡ ∃x ∈ L ((L ⊬  x) ∧ (L ⊬ ¬x))

As this
Proposition(F, x) ≡ ∃x ∈ F ((F ⊢ x) ∨ (F ⊢ ¬x))

Sure it does. If there are no "impossible" inputs that entails
that all inputs are possible. When all inputs are possible then
the halting problem proof is wrong.

*Termination Analyzer H is Not Fooled by Pathological Input D*
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/369971402_Termination_Analyzer_H_is_Not_Fooled_by_Pathological_Input_D 


Everyone that objects to the statement that H(D,D) correctly determines 
the halt status of its inputs say that believe that H(D,D) must report 
on the behavior of the D(D) that invokes H(D,D).

They say this knowing full well that computable functions only operate 
on their inputs. This also violates the definition of a decider that 
only computes the mapping from its inputs. Thus expecting H(D,D) to 
report on the behavior of the D(D) that invokes H(D,D) violates two core 
principles of of computer science.

Finally the behavior of the simulated D(D) before H aborts its 
simulation is different than the behavior of the executed D(D) after H 
has aborted its simulation. H(D,D) must report on the behavior that it 
actually sees.

By switching from model theory to proof theory we need no
interpretations. Every system of logic is simply relations
between finite strings.

To get rid of undecidability and incompleteness we simply encode all of
the facts of the general knowledge of the actual world as axioms of a
formal system of logic.

True(L, x)  ≡ ∃x ∈ L (L ⊢ x)
False(L, x) ≡ ∃x ∈ L (L ⊢ x)
Truth_Bearer(L, x) ≡ ∃x ∈ L (True(L, x) ∨ False(L, x))

Right, because that IS the definition of a Halt Decider.

To say otherwise just proves you don't actually know the meanings of the

Nope, and the fact you think so shows you don't understand those core 
principles.

Nope, BECAUSE the definition of "Correct Simulation" of a Program

program.

Which doesn't help at all if the system isn't supposed to be a "model" 
of the actual world. (and most Formal Logic systems are not).

And that also, doesn't handle the problem, as Godel proves. A Formal 
System needs a finite set of axioms, which your above will have, as our 
knowledge WILL be finite. And your system will meet the logical power 
requirements. (I suppose the one question is if it meets the consistancy 
requirement, it is actually quite possible that the some total of 
everything we THINK is true might have an error in it that makes the 
system inconsistant, or your method of accumulating "All Knowledge" 
might not be able to keep the different contradictory sub-fields 
distinct enough to keep them apart, like Euclidean Geometry and 
non-Euclidean Geometry)

This means we CAN form the meta-system that assigns ALL those axioms to 
a prime number, and thus we can encode all statements to a composite 
number, and build the Primiative Recursive Relationship that represents 
the proof checker for his statement G in your logic system, and thus we 
can show that G MUST be true (or your system is inconsistent as we can 
prove a false statement with the value of g that satisfies that 
relationship), and thus there can not be a proof for G in the system, or 
a true statement is false.

We fundamentally know that a number g that satisfies the PRR either will 
exist or will not.

And, your proposal also shows that you just don't understand the basis 
of formal logic.

> True(L, x)  ≡ ∃x ∈ L (L ⊢ x)

> Truth_Bearer(L, x) ≡ ∃x ∈ L (True(L, x) ∨ False(L, x))

And since you definitions do not match the definitions of classical 
logic (where Truth isn't defined by Proof, but by establishment, which 
allows for infinite chains of steps which proof doesn't) this mean you 
have to start from ground zero to show what your new system can do.

GOOD LUCK, you will need it.

I don't think you have the knowledge base to do it, or the time.

Without doing that, all you are doing is making UNPROVEN claims, and 
doing exactly the same thing as the election deniers are doing.

Everyone here takes the definition of a halt decider to be
required to determine the halt status of the program that
invokes this halt decider, knowing full well that the program
that invokes this halt decider IS NOT ITS INPUT.

All these same people also know the computable functions only
operate on their inputs and are not allowed to consider anything
else.

Computable functions are the formalized analogue of the intuitive notion
of algorithms, in the sense that a function is computable if there
exists an algorithm that can do the job of the function, i.e. given an
input of the function domain it can return the corresponding output.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_function

When the definition of a halt decider contradicts the definition of
a computable function they can't both be right.

And what you don't seem to understand is that it *IS*.

The DEFINITION of a Halt Decider is to decide on the program described 
by it input.

What else could that mean but the program described by the input?

First, we don't know that a Halt Decider is a "Computable Function" and 
in fact, that is the question, is the Halting Function computable?

Second, the input IS a "Description of the program" to be decided on, so 
that IS the input.

You don't seem to understand the meaning of the word "description"

Right, so *IF* you can create the algorithm that can compute the mapping 
defined by the Halting Function, for EVERY input, then you can show it 
to be computable.

But sincd the question is if the Halting Function is, in fact, 
computable, the fact that you can't create a function that meets the 
definition is just a proof that the answer to the question is NO, the 
Halting Function is not computable.

Which just proves you don't understand what you are talking about, and 
like to post LIES. Your many errors have been pointed out in the past, 
but since it is clear you don't understnd, or accdept, the defined 
definitions, you are just incapbable of understanding the errors.

The biggest part of the problem seems to be your REFUSAL to even attempt 
to learn the basic language of the field, but work off your "First 
Principles" analysis that is actually not based on the "First 
Principles" of the field, so are really just Zeroth Principles that are 
just total misconceptions.

Everyone else is wrong about this when they allow a description
to include the program that invokes the halt decider.

These same people already know that the program that invokes
the decider is definitely not its input.

These same people also know that computable functions only
operate on their inputs.

So they are simply contradicting their own views by not paying attention.

Why?

Why can't you describe that program?

If you can't, then you have just admitted that you decider can't handle 
ALL possible inputs.

> 
> These same people already know that the program that invokes
> the decider is definitely not its input.

But it IS, as that is PRECISELY the program described by the input.

> 
> These same people also know that computable functions only
> operate on their inputs.

Again, why do you FALSELY assume the function is computable?

Or why that desciption isn't the description of the program that calls H?

> 
> So they are simply contradicting their own views by not paying attention.

Nope, YOU are the one with the contradiction.

You claim H meets the requirements, which means that it should be able 
to decide about any program described by its input, and that you can 
describe and program, but then say that this program can't be given to 
your decider.

That is just admitting that you have been lying.

It seems, that again, you just don't understand the meaning of the terms 
you are using, and just falsely accuse anything that doesn't make sense 
to you as incorrect.

That just proves that you are utter ignorant about what you are talking 
about and have made yourself into a pathological liar.

The D(D) that invokes H(D,D) IS NOT ITS INPUT AND HAS DIFFERENT BEHAVIOR

the behavior of the simulated D(D) before H aborts its simulation is
different than the behavior of the executed D(D) after H has aborted its
simulation. H(D,D) must report on the behavior that it actually sees.

Requiring a computation to report on the behavior its its caller

And either that can describe the full program D(D), or you are just 
admitting that H fails to be a Halt Decider by its own limitations.

Remember, the REQUIREMENTS prevail, if you somehow restrict H so you can 
not describe some programs to it, then H BY DEFINITION fails to be the 
needed decider.

Why not? The x86 code given to H it the code for it, at least if you 
include ALL the x86 code of the full program D.

If YOU decided to not give it enough of the description, then you are 
just admitting to LYING about what you are doing.

Nope. If H is the required computation, then D is also a computation, 
and all copies of it behave the same.

I guess you are just admitting that you your logic system determinism 
doesn't exist, and thus a given statement might be both True or False at 
the same or diffferent times. In other words, you are describe a system 
without a real definiton of Truth,

That seems right for what you have described.

Then the simulation is INCORRECT, PERIOD, BY DEFINITION.

THis is because the DEFINITION of a correct simulation is the behavior 
of the actual program.

In fact, when you describe the "simulation" your program does, it 
doesn't actually simulate a "Call H instruction", but instead used 
INVALID and UNSOUND logic to try to "guess" what that behavior will be.

Thus, your claim of different behavior of simulation is just a LIE.

But it isn't asked to report on the behavior of its caller, it is asked 
to report on the behavior of the program given described by its input. 
If that just happens to its caller, there is nothing wrong with giving 
the answer about what it will do, and in fact, that is what it MUST do.

Yes, you can not phrase the question as the behavior of its caller, but 
if you make the input describe the caller, than that is what it must 
answer about, as that is what its input is.

You just keep on trying to lie by changing the words, a typical 
technique of LIARS.

All you are doing is proving that you don't understand what computations 
are, how computers work, or even how logic works.

How? The DEFINITION of the question asked by H(D,D) is what is the 
behavior of the computation D(D).

Remember, the question is: "Does the program represented by the input halt?"

The program represented by the input D,D is the direct execution of D(D).

Hpw?

What instruction CORRECTLY simulated in the whole program D differs from 
the actual behavior,

Note, that means the Call H instruction must end up doing exactly the 
same thing in the simulation as in the actual execution, something your 
H doesn't do.

Your H's simulation is NOT "correct" as it doesn't actually simulate the 
call to H, but tries to "deduce" the behavior, and that deduction is 
incorrect.

Part of your problem is you are not looking at the PROGRAM D as given, 
which includes the H it is calling, but the template used to build 
program D, with a funny link to whatever H is trying to decide on it, 
which ISN'T even a valid program, as a real computation doesn't know the 
context it is being used in.


You just fail to understand the whole concept of Computation Theory.

No, it must report on the behavior of the program described by its 
input, which is D(D)

Your problem is you don't understnad the meaning of Truth or Requirements.

You have been saying that it must report on the behavior of the D(D) 
that calls H(D,D)

You have been saying that it must report on the behavior of the D(D) 
that calls H(D,D)

You have been saying that it must report on the behavior of the D(D) 
that calls H(D,D)


H(D,D) IS NOT ALLOWED TO DO THIS !!!  AND YOU KNOW IT !!!

No, it must report on the program D(D), which just happens to call H.

ALL copies of D(D) will call some copy of H(D,D), it doesn't have to 
look at the particular one that is calling this copy, as they all do the 
same thing.

Then you are just admitting that H fails to be a Halt Decider.

To be a Halt Decider, H must answer about ANY program it is given.

Yes, we can't ask the question about "The Program that is calling you", 
but we CAN ask about D(D), which happens to call a copy of you.

Since all copies of programs behave the same, it doesn't matter which.

The fact your say a "Correct Simulation" of this input acts diffferently 
then the Direct Exectution of said program, just shows that you are 
nothing but a LIAR, as the DEFINITION of a CORRECT SIMULATION, in this 
context, is that it exactly matches that direct exectution.

This is something you SHOULD know, but the fact that you don't just 
shows how totally ignorant you are of the field, and how willing you are 
to LIE about things to make your point, showing that you are nothing but 
an ignorant pathological liar.

It seems your personal view of reality is just based on lying to yourself.

It's so that for an abitrarily large input you might
need at least an arbitrarily larger decider.

There is one, though.  For finite inputs, ....

*Wrong*
In logic, the law of non-contradiction (LNC) (also known as the law of
contradiction, principle of non-contradiction (PNC), or the principle of
contradiction) states that contradictory propositions cannot both be
true in the same sense at the same time
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_noncontradiction

Computable functions are the formalized analogue of the intuitive notion
of algorithms, in the sense that a function is computable if there
exists an algorithm that can do the job of the function, i.e. given an
input of the function domain it can return the corresponding output. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_function
*That one is correct*

01 int D(ptr x)  // ptr is pointer to int function
02 {
03   int Halt_Status = H(x, x);
04   if (Halt_Status)
05     HERE: goto HERE;
06   return Halt_Status;
07 }
08
09 void main()
10 {
11   D(D);
12 }

That H(D,D) must report on the behavior of its caller is the
one that is incorrect.

But the question is *IF* the Halting Function is computable, you can't 
just assume it is.

We have a "Function", we can call HALTING, which maps input to the 
output answer, and for this problem HALTING(M,d) maps to True if M(d) 
will halt, and to False if M(d) will never halt.

For H to be a "Halt Decider, and show that HALTING is a computable 
funciton, then H must be able to take in the representation of ANY 
possible input the HALTING, and give the correct answer that the HALTING 
mapping generates.

So, given that we have some actual program H defined, then D will be an 
actual program and D can also be the description of an actual program so 
HALTING(D,D) will map to the behavior of D(D).

For H to be an actual Halt Decider, it MUST be able to take that exact 
same input, and give the right answer.

THere is *NO* ground for H to somehow say that the input isn't "valid", 
as if H is  program, then so is D, so it *IS* in the domain of the 
mapping it is trying to compute.

The fact that for ANY H you might be able to create, the answer returned 
by H(D,D) for the D built on it is wrong, shows that no H can exist that 
works on EVERY input, and thus HALTING is a non-computable mapping.

Note, H is NOT being asked to answer about "the program that is calling 
it", but about "the program described by its input", which IS a valid 
question.

Your confusing those two questions, even though in THIS case reference 
the exact same program, but the question themselves are different.

The fact that it is invalid to ask the question about deciding on "The 
Program that is calling H" does not make asking about D(D) invalid, as 
that is a perfectly valid input to give it, it only makes asking that 
EXACT question invalid.

This shows your lack of ability to understand logic.
