Grasping trivialities is the extent of your skill, so that's
all you get.

For me, it's a triviality that your H's are deciding the D's
wrongly, but at that point  we go over your head.

your criteria cannot decide the fact that the NON-DIAGONAL
test case void DDD(void) { HHH(DDD); return; } terminates.

The 1 return value is correct, and HHH(DDD) /can/ return it.
DDD will not "behave opposite"; it will terminate as the 1 says.

Right; no alternative even seems plausible, like that:

- Church was right;
- Goedel was right;
- C. A. R. Hore was right;
- P. Olcott was wrong;
....

Nah, cannot be! Not even /plausible/ seeming.

You have a small body of claims that you have repeated for years.

The claims have been examined in excruciating detail by all
your interlocutors.

You have /never/ responded to any criticism. You will not analyze
any rebuttal, look at any code, nothing.

Just casual dismissals, accusations of lying, stupidity, ...

Verified by what third party? Oh, you mean Claude AI and Chat GPT?

Your casual dismissals and personal attacks do not verify anything.

Get someone with serious academic credentials to "validate"
your shit, then talk.

The commercially available LLM systems provided by Anthropic,
OpenAI and others all have system prompts telling them not to
antagonize the user.

An extremely common complaint (probably in the top five)
is that they are "sycophantic".

You do not contradict conventional wisdom; you contradict
air-tight logic.

Conventional wisdom is shit like "eating carrots makes you
see sharper".

Incomputability of halting is entirely unconventional; it took
someone very smart to recognize the problem and answer it.

You are not following the actual reasoning of the
paper. You leap to the conclusion that I am wrong.
That is not you pointing out an error.

You don't even know what a cycle in the directed
graph of the evaluation sequence of an expression
is so you lack any basis to critique this.

IT IS NOT a triviality.

That's what you did to my code.

I'm categorically rejecting your paper because it
is AI slop that takes /zero/ effort to generate,
but /nonzero/ effort to go through and validate.

AI generation is a denial-of-service attack
on people's attention.

> You don't even know what a cycle in the directed

> is so you lack any basis to critique this.

On the contrary, I have designed a lazy evaluating language
feature that detects cycles in evaluation.

Live demo:

Let's start with a good case: z depends on x,
x depends on y, and y is just 42:

1> (mlet ((z (* 2 x))
          (y 42)
          (x (+ 1 y)))
     (list x y z))
(43 42 86)

This mlet (magic let, mutual let) construct lets
you specify mutually dependent variables in any order.

Now, what if y depends on z? Like y = z / 2?

2> (mlet ((z (* 2 x))
          (y (/ z 2))
          (x (+ 1 y)))
     (list x y z))
** expr-1:1: force: recursion forcing delayed form (+ 1 y) (expr-1:3)

The purpose of mlet isn't do to arithmetic formulas in hard-to-follow orders;
it's not that sort of shits and giggles.

What it does is let you instantiate self-referential data structures.

We turn on circle notation to catch structures with shared substructure
including cycles, like circular lists:

1> (set *print-circle* t)
t

Now, this is the wrong way to try to make the infinite circular
list (0 1 0 1 0 ...):

2> (mlet ((x (cons 0 y))
          (y (cons 1 x)))
     x)
** expr-2:1: force: recursion forcing delayed form (cons 0 y) (expr-2:1)

We need to use the lazy version of cons, the lcons macro, together
with mlet:

2> (mlet ((x (lcons 0 y))
          (y (lcons 1 x)))
     x)
#1=(0 1 . #1#)

The notation #1=(0 1 . #1#) represents the circular list It
has two nodes 0 and 1, and a final CDR field pointing back to the
first cell.

We can turn off the circle notation and take sublists of the list:

3> (set *print-circle* nil)
nil
4> (mlet ((x (lcons 0 y))
          (y (lcons 1 x)))
     [x 0..20])
(0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1)
5> (mlet ((x (lcons 0 y))
          (y (lcons 1 x)))
     [x 0..30])
(0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1)

Self-reference or mutual reference is very useful in lazy computing,
and the construction of both circular structure and lazy structures,
without explicit assignment.

What have you developed other than taking someone else's x86 simulator and
adding a bit of code around it?

Your code essentially claims that infinite recursion
stops when you monkey with it.

You cannot show evidence of that.
Do you know what a cycle in the directed graph of
the evaluation sequence of a formal expression is?

Mikko didn't have a clue and claimed that I am
wrong anyway.

You're welcome to point of what exactly you mean by "monkey" and which
lines of code are doing that. 

Which bits am I flipping that constitute monkeying?

Remember, the code takes the state of an abandoned simulation
/exactly/ as it was left by HHH (or whichever decider)

And then it steps that simulation forward in exactly the correct way,
the same way that HHH previously stepped it: it passes precisely the
correct slave_state, and other arguments, to DebugStep.

The code does not manipulate the content of slave_state other than
stepping it with DebugStep (your function, the same one used by HHH).
Between the time HHH abandoned the simulation, and the new dcode
starts stepping it again, nothing has touched slave_state or
slave_stack.

So again, what is monkeying and where is it happening?

You've had several weeks to Back up your claim ... and nothing.

By the way, it is mostly your code, and someone elses x86utm.

Essentially, as the Crowned King of Halting, you are just /decreeing/ an
edict making it illegal to gather evidence as to whether H made the
correct decision. Evidence such as looking at the bits H left behind to
see whether they really comprise the state of non-terminating
simulation.

And you think that is how you conduct CS research; like that's how it
works in academia?

Moreover, you bemoan people who are "closed-minded" and cling to
"conventional wisdom" by which they assume you are wrong; yet if those
people just accepted arbitrary rules about what they may or may not
investigate, to avoid producing results displeasing to the King,
then they are fine intellectuals.

I don't see what remaining conversation is to be had here.

Woah! Because your post provides some meaning for the interpretation of
your paper I think the above needs to be addressed.

We have the name of a sentence "This sentence is not true"
We have a sentence about it:

 "This sentence is not true" is true only because the inner sentence is
semantically unsound.

And we have a sentence that is constructed like a lambda expression but
using something a bit like a de bruijn reference turned inside out:

 This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true" is true only
because the inner sentence is semantically unsound.

but with a noisy surrounding fluff beta-ish-reducing to:

 ["This sentence is not true" is true only because the inner sentence is
semantically unsound] is not true

in there we still have the foremost interesting
outie-de-bruijn-ish-innie reference "the inner sentence" which I suppose
therein refers to the referent of the unique syntactically most
contained nominal phrase that references a sentence, to wit, the
referent of "This sentence" in "This sentence is not true" in the Noisy.

then the whole says it's not true that some purported semantic
unsoundness of what that reference refers to is the sole basis for
inferring some unstated notion of nontruth about the referent of "This
sentence" in "This sentence is not true" in the Noisy.


Have I understood what you're saying, minister?

I very much doubt that but you filled my head with noise. Does your
Noisy (above) really constrain "This sentence is not true" such that
your MTT formalisation of it is accurate? You should be noiselessly
patient, so I should expect so, but I'd like to read that you think it
was all suitably constraining wordage before I think any further because
I think it's not an accurate formalisation ("encoding").


More pedestrianly: Is := symmetric? ie, does A := B entail B := A and B
:= A entail A := B (in the formation rules of sentences of MTT from
other sentences of MTT)?

I typically begin "everyone is wrong, but /how/ exactly" until I can't
justify my premise any more. Then I stay quiet until I wake up suddenly
realising someone was particularly right in some small way, then I
begrudgingly ackowledge that publically, and encourage the other wrong
people to find a way to correct my temporary wrong-blindness.

That is on the basis that of all the things that can be said almost none
of them are right with just a few exceptional isolated points dotted around.

This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true" is true.
You can't put the quotes in a different place without changing
the semantics.

Here is "This sentence is not true" is semantically
unsound in Prolog:

?- LP = not(true(LP)).
LP = not(true(LP)).

?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
false.

Its an example of not needing a separate object
language and meta-language that Tarski says is
required.

It is all my words and my ideas and Claude AI's
assessment of them. Unlike anyone anywhere else
LLMs do demonstrate the functional equivalent
of deep understanding of the notion of:

cycles in the directed graph of evaluation sequence
of a formal expression

Everyone here says I am wrong I am wrong and I am
wrong never understanding a single word that I said.

This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true" is true.

It took me four years to simplify Tarski's proof
down to that.

Here is his actual proof
https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_247_248.pdf
https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_275_276.pdf

Here is what cancels his proof

?- LP = not(true(LP)).
LP = not(true(LP)).
?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
false.

To express the entire body of knowledge that can
be expressed in language only a single language
is needed. Tarski disagreed and he was wrong and
I showed how and why with my discussion with Claude.

This wording is not precisely accurate. People could
get confused and think that not true means false.
In the case of the Liar Paradox not true means semantic
gibberish.

It has taken humanity 2000 years and there are
currently zero accepted resolutions.

Saying that the liar paradox is untrue keeps the
confusion going. Saying that it is semantic gibberish
stops the confusion. Saying it this way is not noisy
is the the succinct key essence of its resolution.

It as the Prolog proves the the evaluation is
stuck in an infinite evaluation loop.

LP := ~True(LP)
00 ~               01
01 True            00 // cycle

?- LP = not(true(LP)).
LP = not(true(LP)).
?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
false.

You say this without even looking at the conversation
thus your assessment has no basis. If you had a basis
then you could point out specific errors.

LLM systems have become 67-fold smarter in the last
24 months in that the size of their context window
has increased that much.

This garbage doesn't even feign an attempt at hiding that it's a fucking

Of course I don't. It proves that I am
correct, try and find an actual error.
I had ChatGPT look at this too.

No CS academic is going to do anything but swipe left.

You will have to do your own thinking and writing if you want to be
taken seriously. Not that that's a guarantee (and we've all seen
what your own writing looks like).

> I had ChatGPT look at this too.

Oh well, then, that's an intellectual slam dunk, obviously.

Unlike humans LLMs don't reject my reasoning out-of-hand
without even looking at it. Unlike humans these newer
LLMs can demonstrate the equivalent of deep understanding.
Two years ago they acted like they had Alzheimer's if you
exceeded their 3000 word limit. They are much smarter now.
Do you know what a context window is (without looking it up)?
