The halting problem requires that a halt decider
correctly report on the behavior of its caller
and no halt decider can even see its actual caller.

My solution is to have my H report on the behavior
that its actual input actually specifies.

Another solution is that because the halting problem
proof requires a halt decider H to report on the halt
status of an input D that does the opposite of
whatever H reports that this H/D halting problem
instance is merely the liar paradox in disguise.

That HHH fails to meet the requirements by itself does
not mean that the requirements are wrong.

Turing machine deciders only compute a mapping from
their [finite string] inputs to an accept or reject
state on the basis that this [finite string] input
specifies or fails to specify a semantic or syntactic
property.

That the information that HHH is required to report
on simply is not contained in its input is what makes
the requirements wrong.

No, it merely means that the designer ot HHH has failed to specify the
encoding rules so that the input contains the full specification of the
behaviour.

In other words you are trying to get away with
disagreeing with the semantics of the x86 language
or the semantics of the C programing language.

No, you are, as you think a call instruction doesn't go into the 
function called, and that a correct simulation of it might differ from 
the behavior that the actual x86 does.

Sorry, You "proof" need to lie, under the excuse that the details are 
too complicated, as you can't show what you want without lying.

THe fact that D, when run, halts says your simulation is just incorrect.

Your logic is based on being able to have two programs being the "same" 
code, even though they do different things.

H can't both abort and not abort at the same time.

I am not the one that came up with the jackass idea
of restarting a simulation after it has already
conclusively proved that it cannot possibly halt.

That the continuation of the simulation reaches a final halting state 
conclusively proves otherwise.

And Olcott has no idea how to fix it and is no longer
able to engage with tasks involving code.

void Infinite_Loop()
{
   HERE: goto HERE;
   return;
}

And the continuation of the simulation
at the "return" statement "proves"
by deception that infinite loops halt.

I have no idea what you are blabbing about, and neither do you.

We could simulate Infinite_Loop() until it
proves that it cannot possibly stop running
unless aborted, then abort it. Now to use
your method we can "resume" the simulation
at a different machine state.

This simulation is "resumed" at the "return"
instruction. This "proves" that Infinite_Loop()
can reach its "return" instruction thus never
really needed to be aborted.

False.  We would resume the simulation of Infinite_Loop at the same 
machine state (which doesn't include the simulator) and the resumption 
would not halt.

In contract, we can resume the simulation of DD at the same machine 
state (which again doesn't include the the simulator) and the resumption 
has been shown to halt.

No, you fucking idiot.

"In other words you are trying to get away with

I discussed you (not by name) with Claude AI.
It is convinced that you must be a liar.

I will fix this by actually adapting a C interpreter
to prove that you are a liar to anyone that knows C.

I tried to do this with x86 yet this proved far
too difficult for even the chief editor of one
of the most prestigious computer science journals.

When you resume any simulation that cannot possibly
stop running to the exact same total machine state
Ben Bacarisse would confirm that this one also
would never stop running.

Right; anything but atually get to grips with some code.

It is child's play to show that your claims based on
that x86 contraption are incorrect.

> When you resume any simulation that cannot possibly
> stop running to the exact same total machine state

No, only the state of the simulation is resumed, not
the total machine state.

Maybe you are not familar with operating systems.

When a descheduled or blocked thread is resumed, the entire machine
state doesn't rewind back to the time that thread stopped. Only that
thread's state is restored.

It is obvious you have gaps in your understanding of
concurrent programming.

> Ben Bacarisse would confirm that this one also
> would never stop running.

That is correct.

But the simulation of a D, which calls a H(D) that returns 0, is
terminating.  So for that resumed simulation, we would find that inside
the simulation, the simulated H(D) returns 0 to the simulated D, which
executes its simulated return.

No, you just admitted that you don't know how simulation works.
