No, it is a made up Olcott pathological lie, as proven by the fact that 
I showed how to do it two weeks ago.

And you must think it possible that I did, as you refuse to take the put 
up or shut up challange.

I have no need to present more proof, as it is proven, and people seem 
to understand it.

YOU have a ned to prove your point, but can't so you resort to empty 
rhetoric.

Again no proof. Now the excuse is that it is self-evidently true. A bad 
excuse, because it is self-evident only for olcott. That is what we call 
belief. It shows again that when olcott writes 'verified fact' we should 
read 'my belief'. Sorry, olcott, but with only your belief, your are not 
going to invalidate a proven theorem in computation theory. You will 
convince nobody if no proof can be supplied.

Again no proof. Now the excuse is that it is self-evident. I am starting 
to feel sorry for olcott. Apparently he has no clue about how the proof 
should look like. Maybe we can help him a little bit.

We don't need a very detailed proof. An outline would be sufficient. We 
can always ask for more details.

A proof starts with axioms and definition. Your D is reasonable well 
defined, but there is no clear definition for H. Specify which 
properties of H are needed for the proof.

Note: you are speaking of an infinite set of H, so one example is not 
enough to explain what you mean. Specify all properties required for the 
proof.

Then explain how H recognizes that it is about to start a recursive 
simulation.

Then prove that the simulated algorithm does not stop normally, even for 
those H for which it is known that H aborts and returns a value. Not by 
showing one (or a few) examples, but with a proof that holds for any H 
with the specified properties.

This is only a global outline. A full proof needs many more steps, so it 
is far from self-evident.

Then you may have proved that for the H with the specified properties 
the simulated D cannot reach line 04. Try it. It is the only way to make 
it a verified fact.

When that is a done, we can continue with the next step.

The you want me to prove something to you in a language that you do not
sufficiently understand is an unreasonable request. I have improved the
words of my proof and put in some more details.

typedef int (*ptr)();  // ptr is pointer to int function
00 int H(ptr x, ptr x);
01 int D(ptr x)
02 {
03   int Halt_Status = H(x, x);
04   if (Halt_Status)
05     HERE: goto HERE;
06   return Halt_Status;
07 }
08
09 int main()
10 {
11   H(D,D);
12   return 0;
13 }

In the above case a simulator is an x86 emulator that correctly
emulates at least one of the x86 instructions of D in the order
specified by the x86 instructions of D.

This may include correctly emulating the x86 instructions of H
in the order specified by the x86 instructions of H thus calling
H(D,D) in recursive simulation.

Execution Trace
Line 11: main() invokes H(D,D);

keeps repeating (unless aborted)
Line 01
Line 02
Line 03: simulated D(D) invokes simulated H(D,D) that simulates D(D)

Simulation invariant:
D correctly simulated by H cannot possibly reach past its own line 03.

The key thing to note is that no D simulated correctly by any H of every
H/D pair specified by the above template ever reaches its own line 06 
and halts.

The above is self-evidently true to anyone having sufficient
knowledge of the semantics of the C programming language.

Again no proof. But it seems that olcott is slowly starting to 
understand that it is not self-evident, because he now shows a small 
beginning of an attempt for a proof. It is a pity for him that he 
ignored the rest of my post where I told him a brief outline for a proof.
What we still miss are the requirements for H. A working example is not 
enough to define an infinite set of H. So, define the requirements.

Then, do not only claim that there is a simulation invariant, but prove 
it. Of course you need to master a language to express such a proof. If 
you don't master such a language, try to learn it. Claiming, without 
evidence, that it is self-evident is not part of the correct language.

Then explain how H determines that there is a recursive simulation, so 
that it can abort the simulation.

I try to do the best that I can to write my words so that even people
with attention deficit disorder (ADD) can understand them.

The ONLY requirement for H as I have said many many hundreds of times
is that H simulates D.

The self-evident meaning of what D correctly simulated by H means is
now specified so that people trying as hard as possible to make sure
to find any loophole to intentionally misinterpret my words will look
much more foolish.

I did and always have. Possibly not well enough for people having
ADD that can hardly pay any attention. Not well enough for people
having insufficient knowledge of the semantics of C.

Prove that 2 + 3 = 5 to someone that does not know what numbers are.
No need for any proof for people that understand arithmetic.

If you have ADD and can't pay attention or do not know the semantics
of C well enough to understand that I have proved my point I don't
know what I can do to help you understand that what I have said has
always been self-evidently true for everyone having sufficient
knowledge of the semantics of C.

Tell me which part you don't understand and I might be able to help.
If you have no idea what infinite recursion is then I cannot help.

*That is not any part of what I claimed above*

*You must pay 100% complete attention to my exact words*
*You must pay 100% complete attention to my exact words*
*You must pay 100% complete attention to my exact words*

If you don't have that much attention span, I can't help.
If you don't have that much attention span, I can't help.
If you don't have that much attention span, I can't help.

Which, since I posted over two weeks ago how to do it in C, means that 
you don't have the needed knowledge of the C programming language, or 
about what truth actually is.

And the fact that you refuse to take up any of my challenges to have me 
repost the link (because you clearly prefer to just lie rather that try 
to do some research) it is clear that you are not actually certain of 
your claim, so you know you may be lying, but you do it anyway.

And you are proven to just be an ignorant damned pathological liar.

But YOU are the one shown to not have sufficient knowledge, since I

Even when people do not understand how the natural numbers system is 
defined, I can show the proof. Of course, there may be a risk that they 
do not understand it.
But olcott has not even attempted to show a proof for the claim of a 
simulation variant. Show it, then we will see whether or not we 
understand it. Because he keeps hiding the proof, it seems olcott has no 
proof, but simply believes it must be right.

B.t.w., I am starting to doubt that olcott can prove that 2 + 3 = 5. It 
looks as if he does not know what a proof is. Probably, he will say 
self-evident and think that is a proof.

Unreasonable is requesting a review, nay, a commitment to correctness.

typedef int (*ptr)();  // ptr is pointer to int function
00 int H(ptr x, ptr y);
01 int D(ptr x)
02 {
03   int Halt_Status = H(x, x);
04   if (Halt_Status)
05     HERE: goto HERE;
06   return Halt_Status;
07 }
08
09 int main()
10 {
11   H(D,D);
12   return 0;
13 }

In the above case a simulator is an x86 emulator that correctly emulates
at least one of the x86 instructions of D in the order specified by the
x86 instructions of D.

This may include correctly emulating the x86 instructions of H in the
order specified by the x86 instructions of H thus calling H(D,D) in
recursive simulation.

Execution Trace
Line 11: main() invokes H(D,D);

keeps repeating (unless aborted)
Line 01:
Line 02:
Line 03: simulated D(D) invokes simulated H(D,D) that simulates D(D)

Simulation invariant:
D correctly simulated by H cannot possibly reach past its own line 03.

The key thing to note is that no D correctly simulated by any H of every
H/D pair specified by the above template ever reaches its own line 06
and halts.

*UNTIL MUTUAL AGREEMENT IS ACHIEVED ON THE LAST LINE*
*NO ADDITIONAL STEPS OF MY PROOF CAN POSSIBLY BE UNDERSTOOD*
*THE ABOVE H IS ONLY KNOWN TO BE A SIMULATOR*

Why should people agree to your disproven claim?

Can you not undestand how wrong you are?

H defined as:

int H(ptr x, ptr y) {
   static int flag = 0;
   if (flag) return 0;
   flag = 1
/* Then you normal H but with the code to suppress the simulation of H 
disabled, so it does simulate D's call into H */
}

will correctly simulate D to the final state at line 06

So, you are just proved to be an ignorant pathological lying idiot that 
doesn't actually care about what is true, but is trying to get people to 
accept his own false ideas, just like the election deniers.

It seems olcott has no clue for the proof of 2 + 3 = 5, either. He seems 
to think that arithmetic is the basis for such a proof. But the opposite 
is true. Such proofs are the basis for arithmetic.

So, I have a proposal for olcott. I will show how a proof looks like and 
what kind of proof we need, by writing out the proof for 2 + 3 = 5, but 
only if he promises that he will then show the proof for his 'simulation 
invariant' in about the same level of detail.

Which, since I posted over two weeks ago how to do it in C, means that 
you don't have the needed knowledge of the C programming language, or 
about what truth actually is.

And the fact that you refuse to take up any of my challenges to have me 
repost the link (because you clearly prefer to just lie rather that try 
to do some research) it is clear that you are not actually certain of 
your claim, so you know you may be lying, but you do it anyway.


So, you are just condemened as a damned pathological liar

I told you to post the Message ID or be construed as a liar and
you chose the latter so I ignore all of your posts besides one.

And I told you the conditions you needed to meet for me to do this.

Since you do not seem to believe your own statement enough to stand on 
it, your repeating the assertion is just an indication that you are just 
a pathological liar.

FAIR WARNING.

If you continue to ask for the link to this proof, I will consider it an 
acceptance of the Put up or Shut up challenge in its various forms, and 
then every time you make a similar claim about no one having refuted you 
or that something is self-evident, I (and everyone else) will have the 
right to point to this incident as proof that your claims are likely 
just based on a similar LIE.

(1) You say that you have proof that D correctly simulated
     by H reaches its final state at line 06 and halts.

(2) It is categorically impossible for such a proof to exist.

(3) One of these "proofs" provided an example of
    {D never simulated by H} as meeting the requirement
    of {Every D simulated by H} proving that you tell
    falsehoods. On 5/1/2024 7:28 PM, Richard Damon wrote:

(4) Continued assertion that I am wrong without providing
     such a proof will be considered actionable defamation.

(5) This equally applies to every instance in the future
     of calling me a liar when you cannot even show that
     I am incorrect. I am not a liar and I am not incorrect.

Challenge Accepted.

Yes, you have claimed (1)

I have proven (2) incorrect, so your idea of "categorically impossible" 
is obviously wrong, so anytime you use that world, I will henceforth be 
authorized to point out that you have regularly LIED about this sort of 
thing, apparently because you don't understand the concept, or are just 
to ignorant of the facts.

(3) That isn't the proof of the condition you claim it to be, showing 
that you do not understand the meaning of words and have a habit of 
using Red Herrings and Strawmen to make your points.

(4) Message-id: <v0ulma$2qov4$1@i2pn2.org>

(5) Since I HAVE proved it, I CAN continue to call you a liar, but you 
can't call me one, as I haven't, and so proved it.
