He STARTS with a proof that one specific (but arbitrary) machine gets 
the wrong answer.

Then he shows that the same proof can be applied to ANY such machine 
(becaue the proof didn't depend on any specific details of the machine, 
just the general properties of that machine)

I guess you don't understand how to do categorical proofs.

I totally do. Can you please write down the
"completely specified state transition/tape operation table."
of this specific (thus uniquely identifiable) machine I would

But it was proven that no such machine exists!

Remember, the proof starts with the hypothetical that such a machine 
exists. Such a machine WOULD HAVE a completely specified state 
transition/tape operation table.

(The fact you ask the question means you don't understand the method of 
proof).

Given the assumption of such a machine, we can show how to construct the 
H^ machine to test it with.

We can then show that, whatever the actual behavior of the machine H, it 
will be wrong.

Thus we proved that machine didn't meet the requirements.

And, because we didn't use any specific details of that machine, we can 
show that we can do the same for ANY machine that might claim to be a 
halt decider.

Sort of like the proof that there doesn't exist a highest prime number, 
we first presume that there might be, and then show how that assumption 
proves itself wrong.

"a 100% completely specified state transition/tape operation table"
of a non-existent machine.

Socratic questions resulted in you contradicting yourself, exactly as I
expected. That is how Socratic questions work. When someone contradicts
themselves they say whoops, lets try again.

A Troll would say: "I never contradicted myself you liar!"
Socratic questions expose Trolls for all to see.

There is no "whatever the actual behavior" of a specific machine.
That only applies to a set of implementations of a machine.

No we actually proved that you were never really talking about
a single specific machine.

*Just like when we see that when we know that*
⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ correctly simulated by embedded_H cannot possibly reach its
own simulated final state of ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩ and halt in an infinite sequence of
correctly simulated steps we can see that this also applies to every
less than infinite (AKA finite) sequence.

Like mathematical induction in reverse.

Right, by presuming that you have a Turing Machine, you have a completly 
specified state transition/tape operation table.

You may not KNOW what that table is if you don't know what the exact 
machine is, but you know it exists.

A given machine has a behavior.

If we don't care about the details of that behavior, we can say WHATEVER 
THAT BEHAVIOR WAS.

You just don't understand how English works.

Nope, just that you don't understand what anything means.

Maybe. but the are still different, and thus are not identical.

Nope. How do you simulate a template? Especially when it gets into the 
variable part?

You never answered that one.

Your logic is just broken.

You can only trace in detail a detail specific machine, which is the 
type of simulation you have defined being done, so it can't be of a 
template, so you claim that it is a template just shows that you have lied.

If you can't notice that you are contradicting yourself
it seems that no further progress can be made with you.

Nope. You just don't understand how a proof by contradiction works, do you.

We begin by assuming that such a machine exists. If such a machine 
exsited, it would have a full specified state transition/tape operation 
table.

The proof them move on, building another machine based on that presumed 
table, with precisely specified methods.

Then, by the principles of Turing Machines, we can show, based on the 
few limitations of what Turing Machine has specified, what the results 
of running that machine will be, even without knowing the details of 
that machine, just knowing that such a specification exists.

And thus, we can show that the given hypothetical H couldn't have meet 
its specification, because out of the limited number of classes of final 
behaviors, we can show that it had to be wrong, or just not exist.

Of course, since you don't understand about specifications, this may 
seem like magic to you, but it works.

So, if you don't have an infinite set of these 100% specified state 
transistion/tape operation tables, you can't do YOUR proof.

And if you don't have those tables, you can not have any of your 
embedded_H's "simulate" their inputs, as that is what specifies what the 
simulation does.

So, I guess YOU have a bigger contradiction.

Really, then show that one exists!

That is, an actual Turing Machine that halts in state Qy if the 
Machine/Input that its input describes will halt when run and halt in 
state Qn if the Machine/Input that its input describes will never halt 
when run.


All you have done is claimed that your "Turing machine equivalent" (that 
actually isn't) was correct to answer non-halting even thought the 
program given to it actually halted, but you said it was still right.

I think you have gotten something confuesed.

Really, where did I say that H exists?

I said that if a Turing Machine exists, then its transition table does too.

Show me a Turing Machine, fully defined, and I will show you the state 
transition table (since that is how we define a Turing Machine)

So, are you misquoting again.  I note that your quotes there have no 
actual reference, so apparently pulling things out of context.

You seem to like doing this sort of lie. It seems to be part of your 
nature. It might just be your total ignorance of how language works, but 
seems more deliberate than that.

OK my mistake this time. I did not take into account the full context.
I will go back an read the Linz proof and see if he said anything
about a specific machine.

None of the proofs ever try to show that there exists one machine that
gets the wrong answer. They are always at least trying to prove that no
machine of the infinite set of machine gets the right answer.

Read the DEFINITION of the problem. He talks about "a" machine. Using a 
singular article means you are working with just one.


Taking stuff out of context is a common problem with you, when you don't 
understand something, you just make up what it must mean, and stick to 
that. That isn't the way to learn.

What I see, is they always start with a prototypical single machine, and 
show that it gets the answer wrong, and then they use categorical logic 
to say that we can do this same thing for all of them.

I did not take into account the full context of your words, this
was entirely my mistake.

I was very happy to find that the other view that you provided about
a specific machine were actually supported by words that Peter Linz
used.

My other reply will analyze the meaning of those Peter Linz words.

It is possible to formulate the claim and proof so that H is an universally
quantified variable. But the usual way is apparently equally good for the
target audience.

And Linz shows how to construct an x, y pair for ANY H that makes the 
final condition false, thus there does NOT exist any H that make it true 
for ALL inputs.

That is not a proof structure. That is the counter-hypothesis of Linz' proof.
Also note that both x and y are finite strings.

The above is what Linz is claiming evaluates to false, he says
there is no such H.

A decider computes the mapping from finite string inputs to
its own accept or reject state.

A decider does not and cannot compute the mapping from Turing_Machine
inputs to its own accept or reject state.

Then I guess you are admititng as a matter of definition that no Turing 
machine can be a Halt Decider, since BY THE DEFINITON of a Halt Decider, 
that you have even quoted, it can't consider that as a proper input.

Remember, a Halt Decider is to decide if the Turing Machine described by 
the input will halt. If it is impossible to compute a mapping about a 
Turing Machine described by the input, then Halt Deciding in just 
impossible.
