Except a potentially infinite loop that has code that breaks out of that 
loop will halt.

Since DD included HH as part of it, if that included part will stop DD 
from running forever (by keeping that HH from running forever) then DD 
is not a non-halting program.

The fact that the HH simulating this DD aborts isn't what makes DD 
non-halting, but the presence of that does mean (since DD is built from 
HH) that DD has within it the code to stop it from running forever.

But your problem is that since HH DOES decide to abort its simulation 
and return 0, that IS what it does, and that makes DD "potential" 
infinite loop, finite.

Thus, when HH does abort its simulation, that makes DD Halting, and if 
HH doesn't abort its simulation, it makes both DD and HH non-halting 
(which makes HH not a decider).

The point you keep on missing is that HH is a specific machine, and has 
made its decision by its design, and by the way DD is constructed, that 
affects what DD Does.

<MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>
   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.
</MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words10/13/2022>

No you are wrong.

Nope. Try to PROVE it.

of course, you don't understand how to do a proof, so that is an 
impossible chalange for you.

Remember, you need to use Professor Sipser's defiition for "Correctly 
Simulated", or you can't use his words.

If you think you can use your non-canonical definition for his words, 
then we can reinterprete yours to use the canonical definition, and thus 
your conclusiom is just proven incorrect.

It does not make much sense to say "you are wrong" without saying
about what and what is right instead.

Besides, there should be either a comma after "No" or the word "not"
after "are". We may guess from context which one you meant but a
guess is only a guess.

*It is no mere loop it is isomorphic to this*

typedef void (*ptr)(); // pointer to void function

void HHH(ptr P, ptr I)
{
   P(I);
   return;
}

void DDD(int (*x)())
{
   HHH(x, x);
   return;
}

int main()
{
   HHH(DDD,DDD);
}

In the above Neither DDD nor HHH ever reach their own return
statement thus never halt.

When HHH is a simulating halt decider then HHH sees that
DDD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly reach its
own return statement, AKA

    simulating halt decider HHH correctly simulates its input DDD
    until HHH correctly determines that its simulated DDD would never
    stop running unless aborted

Except if you change the input to call a different "decider" you have a 
different input, so it can behave differently.

You can only decide on actual program intances, not just the "template", 
as the template doesn't have a behavior by itself.


I will note that your arguments STILL think that a call to a specific 
address doesn't need to have the simulation continue at that address, 
and it can reach an address again that is never actually reached.

Both of these are considered "Correct" to you even in violation of your 
own definitions.

The a sequence of configurations stops running because some
aspect of it has been abnormally terminated does not mean that
this sequence halts.

Discussing this aspect is ridiculously too complex until after
you first understand that DD is correctly simulated by HH.

We wasted three years on this because no one ever bothered
to see that I have conclusively proved that DD is correctly
simulated by HH at the x86 machine code level.

I have proven that DD correctly simulated by HH cannot possibly
stop unless aborted thus meeting this criteria:

Only these verbatim words were agreed to by MIT Professor Michael Sipser
<MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>
   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.

DD correctly simulated by HH never halts.
Directly executed DD(DD) is not the behavior
of the input that HH held accountable for.

I incorporate by reference
(a) The x86 language
(b) The notion of an x86 emulator

(c) I provide this complete function

void DDD(int (*x)())
{
   HH(x, x);
}

_DDD()
[00001de2] 55         push ebp
[00001de3] 8bec       mov ebp,esp
[00001de5] 8b4508     mov eax,[ebp+08]
[00001de8] 50         push eax         ; push DD
[00001de9] 8b4d08     mov ecx,[ebp+08]
[00001dec] 51         push ecx         ; push DD

[00001df6] c3         ret
Size in bytes:(0021) [00001df6]

Then I state that No DDD correctly emulated by any
x86 emulator H can possibly reach its own [00001df6]
instruction.

No, you hve not, you have claimed and presented an argument. You have

Which is based on a DIFFERENT definition of "Correct Simulation" so its 
assable to you. He means a complete simulation that doesn't stop until 
it reaches a final state, which your H doesn't do (if it answer) nor 
does it correcly determine that an actual correct simulation of THIS 
input wouldn't halt.

Your arguement is based on thinking you are processing a template, as 
opposed to a program, so the input changes when you hypothetically 
change the HH processing THIS input, but the problem is NOT about 
deciding on a template, but on a program, which is an instance of that 
template based on a specific decider

But it is, if it is a Halt Decider. After all, the question a Halt 
Decider is answering is:

Does the Machine/Input described by the input halt when run?

Which *IS* about the directly execute DD(DD) so that *IS* what it is 
accountable for.

If you think it CAN'T do it, then you are just agreeing with the Halting 
Theorem that it can't be done.

Note, the question is not can we come up with something sort of like 
this that we can do, it is can we do this specific thing, that has a 
desired usage.

So?

What do you do with those?

Remember, a proof builds the chain from the Truth makers to your 
statement, explicitly showing the steps.

You never link from your "truths" to your conclusion.

And Proving that something doesn't happen is very hard, so claiming that 
NO HH can do something needs to actually be proven and not just claimed 
that since no one has found one it doesn't exist.

Which needs to be PROVEN, not just stated.

Remember, H isn't "Just a simulator" but is DEFINED to be a decider that 
MUST return an answer.

So, your argument has it a contradiction in itself, telling you that you 
have a bad assumption somewhere.

Perhaps you can prove that it is impossible for any simulator to 
simulate to that point, but you also end up proving that behavior of DD 
(which is what is being asked about) MUST get there if HH meets its 
requirements. So, all you have done is proven that simulation can't be 
an answer to the problem.

Which has been a well known fact for decades, which is why you don't see 
much talk about them.

Crackpots are sometines like that. When they start to see that they can't
convince they start to gradually replace non-convincing arguments with
trolling until, at some point, all they try to do is to troll. Unless,
of course, some external cause makes them stop.

*Nothing ambiguous here*
That people lack the knowledge of common technical terms does
not mean that expressions containing these terms are ambiguous.

I incorporate by reference
(a) The x86 language
(b) The notion of an x86 emulator

(c) I provide this complete function

void DDD(int (*x)())
{
   HH(x, x);
}

_DDD()
[00001de2] 55         push ebp
[00001de3] 8bec       mov ebp,esp
[00001de5] 8b4508     mov eax,[ebp+08]
[00001de8] 50         push eax         ; push DD
[00001de9] 8b4d08     mov ecx,[ebp+08]
[00001dec] 51         push ecx         ; push DD
[00001ded] e890f5ffff call 00001382    ; call HH
[00001df2] 83c408     add esp,+08
[00001df5] 5d         pop ebp
[00001df6] c3         ret
Size in bytes:(0021) [00001df6]

Then I state that No DDD correctly emulated by any
x86 emulator H can possibly reach its own [00001df6]
instruction.

To anyone having this mandatory prerequisite knowledge
(perhaps not you) every x86 emulation of DDD by any
x86 emulator H continually repeats the first seven lines
of DDD until it crashes due to out-of-memory error.

Which just proves you don't understand what a proof is.

Since that doesn't do anything to connect the truth-makers you 
referenced to the statement.

Which means you just proved that NO HH that meets your requirements can 
ever give an answer for this question.

You Claim this not to be true, so that just shows that your system is 
self-contradictory.

And the apparent issue is that you are changing your definition of 
"Correct Simulation" between the two.

Apparently quite intentionally, so it can be considered an act of 
deception, commonly called a LIE.

There are more steps to this proof. I cannot conflate them
together and ever get closure.

The above HH is only an x86 emulator. Once it is understood
that DDD correctly simulated by any HH that can possibly
exist cannot possibly reach its own [00001df6] machine address
then we know that when HH sees the same thing that we see that
HH has its correct abort criteria.

*That is how partial simulation proves non-termination*

So, is HH not your decider?

The DDD is not the input specified by the proof, so really why do we care?

I'd say you are vastly overestimating PO's capabilities.  Many people suggest he is trolling, but 
I've watched him for some years and I consider that he simply doesn't (/can't!/) understand the 
terminology people use, or their logical reasoning.  (He lacks the basic normaly abilities for 
abstract thought and reasoning.  He is not doing this deliberately.)

No the whole problem is that you and others are so sure that I

to see that I prove that I am correct.

Halt deciders compute the mapping FROM THEIR INPUTS
BASED ON THE ACTUAL BEHAVIOR THAT THIS INPUT SPECIFIES.
This input specifies the behavior of DD correctly simulated by HH.

That everyone wants to avoid looking at my conclusive proof
that DD correctly simulated by HH has provably different
behavior than the directly executed DD(DD) *is dishonest*

Nope, YOU don't understand the basic terms youu use because you are just 
parroting things you found by rote, but never actually learned what they 
actually mean.

As Mike says, you have shown yourself mentally incapable of 
understanding some of the abstract notions that you try to talk about.

Which, since his definition of "Correct Simulation" isn't yours, you 
can't actaully use.

The ONLY thing that Professor Sioser considers to be a "Correct 
SImulation" is a simulation the exactly reproduces the behavior of the 
directly executed code, which means a simulation that doesn't stop until 
it reaches a final state (even if that takes forever).

H does NOT do that sort of simulation, nor does it correctly determine 
that THIS input (and thus still calling the original H), if simulated by 
that sort of simulator will not halt, so you never satisfy the 
requirements, so can never claim the right of the second clause.

This has been explained to you many times, and your repeating it just 
shows a reckless disregard for the truth, and could open you up to a 
defamation suit by Professor Sipser. It also shows that your 
understanding of what other people say needs to be kept suspect, and you 
are proving yourself to be a pathological liar.

And BY DEFINITION (a word I am not sure you understand) the actual 
behavior the input specifies is the behavior of the directly executed 
machine represented by the input. That can also be created by giving the 
exact same input to a UTM (note, that means AFTER pairing your template 
to the decider) and leting it run to completion.

Nope, we can see the holes in your arguments from miles aways, they are 
so big.


That you can't just shows your own mental limitiation, some of which 
seem to be self-inflicted by your refusal to study the materrial to knwo 
what you are talking about. Your "Zeroth Principles" study of them just 
doesn't cut it (You call them first principles, but that requires you to 
first study the field enough to actually KNOW the fundamental properties 
of the system, which it is clear you haven't done).

So, you admit that H can be given the description of a machine that 
contains a copy of H in it to decide?

And that Decider can be asked to decide on the behavior of the machine 
that there input represents?

Note, if you deny the second, then you are just defining that Halting 
CAN'T be asked as a question, and thus by your definition, there are no 
halt deciders, even though the do exist for the partial case, so 
obviously we can make one Turing Machine decide on some properties of 
the Turing Machine described by its input.

Does not parse.
Recursion can be encoded in a finite string.

The rebuttal is that a simulation should behave the same as the real 
thing.

A {correct simulation} means that each instruction of the
above x86 machine language of DD is correctly simulated
by HH and simulated in the correct order.

Anyone claiming that HH should report on the behavior
of the directly executed DD(DD) is requiring a violation
of the above definition of correct simulation.

The next instruction after "call HH" - the one at address 00001382 - is 
simulated incorrectly.
