You said it backwards. When I say that I am not guilty and did
not rob the liquor store you cannot paraphrase this as he admitted
that he robbed the liquor store.

H performs a sequence of finite string transformations on
its finite input of x86 machine code. These transformations
include that D calls H(D,D) while being simulated by H. In
such a case the call from D to H(D,D) cannot possibly return.

Which is all we need to know about H in ordet to determine that
it is not a decider.

Why not? H0 is a decider AND simulator, so it can simulate itself 
terminating.

Or, in English, "You can't do arithmetic with dark numbers.  For actual
mathematics, they're completely useless.".

Wolfgang Mückenheim is a crank in sci.math and de.sci.mathematik, one of
the few remaining ones after Google shut down their Usenet servers in
February.  He insists on the existence of something he calls "dark
numbers" and gives crank-like justifications for them, which do not hold
up under more robust questioning.

In my case people have been disagreeing with the semantics of
the x86 programming language for three years when they have
insisted that D correctly simulated by H must have the same
behavior as the directly executed D(D).

*The following is a dumbed down version that is much more*
*difficult to rebut without looking foolish*

When we stipulate that the only measure of a correct emulation
is the semantics of the x86 programming language then we see that
when DDD is correctly emulated by H0 that its call to H0(DDD)
cannot possibly return.

_DDD()
[00002172] 55               push ebp      ; housekeeping
[00002173] 8bec             mov ebp,esp   ; housekeeping
[00002175] 6872210000       push 00002172 ; push DDD
[0000217a] e853f4ffff       call 000015d2 ; call H0(DDD)
[0000217f] 83c404           add esp,+04
[00002182] 5d               pop ebp
[00002183] c3               ret
Size in bytes:(0018) [00002183]

When we define H1 as identical to H0 except that DDD does not
call H1 then we see that when DDD is correctly emulated by H1
that its call to H0(DDD) does return. This is the same behavior
as the directly executed DDD().

No, we fully understand its semantics.

Not sure you do, as you can't produce a trace by the decider that 
correctly goes past the decider by the requirements to follow those 
semantics.

And the emulation by H0 and H1 will be IDETICAL to the point where H0 
stops its emulation. This is a fundamental fact.

If you disagree, please show what instruction, CORRECTLY EMULATED per 
the definition of the x86 instruction set, that is the point of divergance.

Your failure, for years to show this just indicate that you know you 
claim is false, but need to hang onto it to try to fabricate a lie for 
your false proof.

What are the rules on how much a simulator can diverge from the actual
behaviour of its input?

With that I agree. It follows that H0 does not simulate correctly.

That is the actual behaviour. If a simulator does something different,
it is wrong. A simulation does not change behaviour.

And that is the correct behaviour that H0 should simulate as well, but 
what it cannot do, showing that H0's simulation is incorrect.
You are faking that the disagreement is about the X86 programming 
language, but the only point of disagreement is that you think that 
aborting belongs to that language, but others think is does not.

From the first order Peano axioms it is not possible to prove that there
are no non-standard numbers. It is possible to construct (for example in
ZF) a model of the first order Peano arithmetic that has a proper subset
that is another model of the same Peano artichmetic. And it is possible
to do arithmetic with those numbers. Whether useful, I don't know.

Yes.  All that is over Wolfgang Mückenheim's head.  He doesn't have a
degree in maths, but I believe he has a Phd in physics.  His intuitions
in set theory are those of a rebellious teenager, and he refuses to
accept many established mathematical results.  The threads he gets
involved in in sci.math feel similar to the threads in comp.theory
involving Peter Olcott.

Such people completely miss the fascination of surreal numbers, Robinson
integers, and the rest.  Other posters just wish they could get the
cranks to learn new (for them) things.  Personally, I never learnt much
about mathematical logic and the foundations in my maths degree, but I
could catch up if I could be bothered, and I'm broadly aware of what I've
missed.  That distinguishes me from the cranks.

That is a stupid thing to say.
When H0 is called in recursive emulation the semantics of the x86
language do not allow H0 to simply ignore this and still terminate.

THe semantic of the x86 language do not talk at ALL about "recursion" or 
"emulation" as no instruction in the set needs to directly deal with 
such things. Yes, you can build recursion emulation out of the 
instrucitons, but that is a DERIVED property, not an innate one.

You just don't seem to understand such FACTS, perhaps because you don't 
really understand the things you are trying to talk about.

So?

Can you PROVE it?

And why do we care, since it isn't what Halting is defined to be.

DDD does halt if H0 gives an answer.

No "normally" as Turing Machine have no "abnormal terminatiom"

And then are no longer UTMs, and YES, if a machine based on such am 
modifed UTM (so it is no long a UTM) when the UTM stops simulating, we 
can not say the input halted, nor can we say it didn't halt.

The not-a-UTM just came to a no-answer state.

The answer will be provided by useing an ACTUAL UTM that keeps on going, 
or the direct execution of the machine,

You are just stuck in your idea that Lies are sometimes ok.

When such a UTM has been adapted to only simulate
the first ten states of its input TMD, then every
simulated TMD with more than ten states did not
terminate normally.

You are stuck on the idea that repeating states cannot
be recognized in a finite number of steps.

void Infinite_Loop()
{
   HERE: goto HERE;
}

void Infinite_Recursion()
{
   Infinite_Recursion();
}

void DDD()
{
   H0(DDD);
}

Every C programmer that knows what an x86 emulator is knows
that when H0 emulates the machine language of Infinite_Loop,
Infinite_Recursion, and DDD that it must abort these emulations
so that itself can terminate normally.

This was recently confirmed in the C group.

Then it is no longer a UTM.

And its simulation say NOTHING about the machine not terminating, 
normally nor not.

Terminating is a property of the actual machine, and not a sumulation of it.

You could say the SIMULATION didn't terminate normally, but you can't 
say the machine didn't or even the Turing Machine Description, as you 
could give that exact same TMD to a real UTM and find out the actual 
behaviof or the input.

You just have lost track of the defintions of what is REALITY (the 
actual behavior of the machine) and what is just imagination.

Nope, you just forget about what is defined to be real.

No, ACTUAL REPEATING states can be recognised, but I guess you are too

Which doesn't mean the program DDD needs to be abort to have it halt.

That is just a figment of your imagination that doesn't understand the

Thus according to your faulty reasoning when the source-code
of a C program is simulated by interpreter this is mere nonsense
gibberish having nothing to do what the behavior that this
source-code specifies.

The verified that that it does need to be aborted contradicts
your nonsense to the contrary.

Are you sure that you are not a liar?
I have had numerous experts in C confirm this.
Bonita confirmed this: "Everything correct"

This.

YOUR partial decider makes everything halt, even that which doesn't.
So yes, it can't simulate infinite loops.

When I write an infinite loop, I want it to be interpreted as an
infinite loop. Your H0 is bogus.

The map is not the territory. The simulation is not the machine.

[The verification that it ... ?]
If H0 halts, so does DDD (which only calls it).

My partial decider makes everything stop running this is not
at all the same as halting. Novices get very confused about this.

(a) If the correct simulation of the x86 machine language of
the function does not prove the actual behavior that this
finite string specifies then source-code interpreters
are a bogus concept.

(b) source-code interpreters are NOT a bogus concept.
