No, everyone, but it seems you and a few of your friends. understand the

Which, when it quotes the "Gods" of the field, IT IS INFALLIBLE.

Remember, those who define a field, are the authority to say what its 
definitions are.

You don't need to follow them if you stay out of the game, but entering 
the game is a submission to the rules.

In computability theory and computational complexity theory, a
decision problem is a computational problem that can be posed as
a yes–no question of the input values.

In other words you are saying that Turing machines do not
typically understand English.

None-the-less no-one here understands that every halt decider
is only required to report on the behavior that its actual
input actually maps to.

Instead everyone here expects that the halt decider must map
to the English description of what the authors of textbooks
expect it to map to.

We already agreed that Turing machines do not typically
understand English, so this assumption is stupid.

*DDD correctly simulated by H0 DOES NOT HALT*

Everyone here stupidly ignores that the pathological
relationship that DDD calls H0(DDD) changes the behavior
of DDD.

No. The input is merely a variable in the question. The question is
implicit.

That is a tautology: „It must simulate that way that it can.”
But it is not free to make something up and claim itself infallible

That is the definition of a halt decider. If it does not fit that
definition, it is not one.

*incorrectly
Yes, it does not halt. That is a wrong simulation, as DDD does halt.

A simulator can’t change the behaviour of its input, it is bound by it.

Not at all. That is flat out incorrect.
The input is a specific finite string of bytes that
has the semantics of the x86 programming language.

DDD correctly simulated by H0 cannot possible halt.
The same thing goes for the conventional halting problem input.

We could "define" a zipangnitfark as a square circle
that has a radius of a zebra with each equally
length side having the length of a misconception.

You are wrong. The input is the variable in the question. The question
is not a part of the input.

For a decider that is made for that sort of input. But there cannot be
any question in that input.

That definition is not incorrect. It may be unsuitable for your purposes
but that does not make it incorrect. All parts of a good definition are
there: the term for the concept, the superconcept, and the differentiating
feature. Definitions like this would be a great improvement to your
writings.

The input is the machine address of the finite string
of x86 machine code.

The question is:
Does this finite string of machine code specify behavior
that terminates normally?

It has type mismatch errors making it incorrect.

If I ask you how many kilos do your misconceptions
weigh you cannot provide a correct answer because
of the type mismatch error in the question.

Incoherent definitions are incorrect definitions.

When I define Snitfinbangflizzledroop as the square-root
of misconceptions about the US constitution my definition
is incorrect because there is no mapping from the input
of misconceptions about the US constitution to any square-root
value.

And in that input there is no question about whether itself halts.
That is in the programming of the analyser.

And the question is not: Do I, the analyser, give the correct answer?
It has no power to declare itself the authority.

What do you even mean? Of course it follows its programming and does not
spontaneously generate an answer. It may not be possible to write such
a program: then there is indeed no machine that can compute it, but the
input still has a defined halting status

There is an obvious mapping from D to its behaviour: run it, or give it
to any simulator /that it does not call/.

Not just the address. The input include everyting the pregram reads,
in particular the finite string the input points to. But the current
point is that there is no question there and not place to where a
question could be put.

That is the question the program is expected to answer but the program
cannot be asked that question, or any other.

The type mismatch error might make all use of the definition incorrect

They are not incorrect but probably useless for their purpose.

That does not make the definition incorrect. You just can't apply
that definition if you don't know the mapping.

But that is the definition of the problem that it is supposed to answer,

Which isn't a valid property of DDD, so not a proper question for the 
decider.

It is a property of the machien PAIR, DDD and H0, so a decider of that 
question would be something like

POOP(DDD, H0) which computes the mapping of the decider/input pair to 
the answer of the question can this decider correct simulate this input 
to its final state, which also isn't a proper question, as it isn't a 
"Can" type of question, but a "Does".

Since H0 has fixed behavior, it only does what it does, so the 
hypthetical nature of the word "Can" doesn't apply.

But it doesn't, as its behavior is, and only is, what it does when run.

And DDD and H0 need to be SPECIFIC machine to even talk about their 
behavior, and thus both of those behaviors have been lock by design, and H

I didn't mean it that generally, only about deciders, but yes, typical
Turing machines do not understand any English. More specifically, the
specification of a halt decider (or any typical decider) prevents it
from being asked in any language.

> None-the-less no-one here understands that every halt decider

As far as I have seen, most of them do. And not just maps but maps
in the way specified by the problem statement.

Your "everyone" is a lie. As far as I have seen, nobody has expressed
that expectation, and several have said otherwise.

You may have agreed but you failed to keep that agreement.

> *DDD correctly simulated by H0 DOES NOT HALT*

The message where DDD was introduced specifies that DDD halts
if and only if H0 halts.

If and only if it changes the behaviour of H0, which is possible if
and only if H0 is not a pure function.

Deciders are always asked a yes/no question of their
inputs in their own native language.

The call from DDD to H0(DDD) when N steps of DDD are correctly
emulated by any pure function x86 emulator H0 cannot possibly return.

The behavior of the directly executed DDD() is irrelevant
because that is not the behavior of the input. Deciders
compute the mapping from their actual finite string input
to an output by a sequence of finite string transformations.

In this case the sequence is the line-by-line execution
trace of the behavior of DDD correctly emulated by H0.

The behavior of this input must include and cannot ignore

     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.

Yes, and the question here is „Does the input halt?” and not „Do I
simulate this to halt?”.

Naturally. Why should it not work as defined.

That IS the instance encoded by the input. We call H with DDD,
not H with H(DDD).

No, the "behavior" of the input is what the question being asked defines 
it to be.

Which, is not a proper definition of the behavior of the input, as it 
depends on more tham just the input, but on the machine the input is 
given to.

Properties of the input for a decider need to be OBJECTIVE properties of 
the input, and not SUBJECTIVE properties, as the mapping is defined to 
be a mapping of JUST THE INPUT, and thus, doesn't include the decider it 
is given to.

Right, and since your decider RESOLVES that recursion by aborting and 
return, THAT BEHAIVIOR is part of the behavior of the input, since to 
perform your definition of the input, you needed to include the decider 
it was paired to in the input, that fixes the behavor to what that 
decider did.

It must go by THE DEFINITION OF THE PROBLEM, if that is from a textbook, 
then yes, the textbook is authorative, and to say otherwise is just a LIE.

The input doesn't encode the problem statement, so can't disagree with it.

And, if H0 is the defined pure function, then so will any correcgtly 
simulated copy of it, and do exactly the same thing.

Nope, since no H0 actually does a "Correct Simulation" or a "Correct 
Determination of a Correct Simultion" (by anything) since the only 
defintion he uses of a "Correct Simulation" is a simulation that EXACTLY 
reproduces the results of directly executed machine the input 
represents, which means it will never abort its simulation.

Thus, H0 can NEVER correctly avail itself of the second clause.

A call of GreaterThan must give two integers as arguments. There
is no place where a question could be put. An integer is not a
question.

Hehe, everyone has an opinion on what PO is saying! :)

So here's mine:  I think PO is saying that when DDD is correctly *emulated* [not "correctly 
/emulating/"] then "it" will not return.

To be clear, that's saying that the /emulation/ does not get as far as the final return, i.e. outer 
H0 will stop emulating (aka "abort") without having emulated DDD's return statement.  PO has 
acknowledged that the outer H0 will return after aborting its emulation.

So what? I hear everyone asking.  So what indeed! The "behaviour" of a partial emulation is not the 
behaviour of the computation itself [trivially] and not what the HP is about. But PO then gets 
hopelessly muddled, thinking at least two wrong things:

1)  That DDD would /never/ have terminated in "1-oo steps of emulation", i.e. that DDD really 
doesn't halt, not simply that H0 aborted it before it returned.  (Thats muddling all the different 
examples of H in his head each with their own personalised (D,D) inputs into one single 
super-H/super-D.  Of course, the FIXED DDD under discussion /does/ in fact return in some finite 
number of steps.  H0 is also fixed and is coded in a way that aborts /before/ that number of steps 
is emulated.)

2)  PO knows that the /reason/ H0 decided to abort was that it matched his "infinite recursive 
emulation" pattern in the emulation trace - therefore he believes it's correct to decide non-halting 
because his pattern proves that.  (That's just Wrong, but PO really really really believes the 
pattern is sound, so that's the end of it.  He has no intention or capability of ever attempting to 
prove his rule is sound.)

Strawman deception. DDD correctly simulated by any H0 that can possibly
exist at machine address 0000217a is not the same as DDD correctly
simulated by any H1 that DDD never calls.

The strawman deception is a kind of lie. Why lie?

OF course it is. The nature of the input doesn't affet the form of the

Which just makes you the LIAR that you already showed you are.

H as ONE and ONLY one question it is supposed to answer, if it is a Halt 
decider, and that is "Does the Machine represented by your input halt 
when run?"

Anything else is just a lie,

But asking the quesiton you don't mean, OR answering the question you

Of course, a liar like you should understand that, or is the pathology

Which is what makes it impossible to build a decider that snwers the

Which is perfectly fine, as the big question is was it possible to do so.

No, you are just lying agsin. Thers *IS* a mapping for the finite string 
input to H and the answer, it is based on the behavior of the UTM 
processing of the input. If it halts, then the mapping of that string is 
to Yes, if it doesn't then the mapping of that string is to No

So?

But of course we can ask H the question. if it is a Halt Decider, then 
just giving it the input asks it the quesion.

I don't think you understand how programs work.

Sure it can. just call H(D,D). That asks it the question if H is a Halt 
decider.

Nope. Bot for a LIAR like you, it may not be understandable.

But there is.

If H(D,D) returns 0, then the mapping of (D,D) is to yes.
If H(D,D) returns 1, then the mapping of (D,D) is to no.

H, being a fixed deterministic program, will do one of the two, or just 
fail to be the decider it needs to be.

You don't seem to understand that fact, H doesm't get to "choose" its 
answer, its answer to EVERY input you can give it was fixed when H was 
programmed.

But the question is the correct question, you just don't seem to 
understand how programs work.
