Kaz is saying that he can "resume" a simulation
that has just proved that it will never stop
running to a different machine state to "prove"
that this simulation does stop running.

I am estimating that you are agreeing with
Kaz not even knowing that what he is claiming.

He is resuming a simulation that he already admitted
that he conclusively proved is non-halting to contradict
himself and prove that it is halting by "resuming" this
simulation at a different machine state.

I have never said a single thing in this forum since
2020 that I did not wholeheartedly believe is true.

To the best of my knowledge I have not even exaggerated
at all or made any substantive error since 2020 in
the substance of any of my claims since 2020.

To the best of my knowledge the biggest mistake
that I have made since 2020 is my syllogism example
that I made today and Kaz caught.

What? I did not. You must be brandishing your second

The simulation is resumed at exactly the simulation's
current state as it was left behind when the decider
stopped stepping it.

But don't take my word for it. You could check it in
the actual ... code!

You are just not good at following the semantics of
the C language and the x86 instruction set.

You would look smarter if you admitted it's all been
gaslighting and trolling.

Unless it is the total machine state it is cheating.

Here is the dumbed down version

void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}

HHH simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)
that simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)...

How is this DDD going to reach its "return" statement???

You idiot, what you are proposing is to turn back time over
the entire apparatus. That will would create an instant loop, like in
time-travel science fiction.

The techniqjue I implemented, which is apparently beyond
your understanding, doesn't involve rewinding anything.

There is no manpulation of state other than /identifyng/
a simulation that has been abandoned and then stepping it
forward by making more DebugStep calls that the decider
refused to make.

There is no rewinding or replay going on.

It has been explained umpteen times.

It reaches that statement in exactly the same way the top-level DDD()
called from main() does.

I can answer questions about it, but at some point you
have to do your own experimenting.

I've given you the tool to see where abandoned simulations
are heading; you can /use/ that as a debugging/verification
tool to make sure that the simulations do what you think
(and publicly say) they do.

You have static variable cheats in your code which enable
you to get that behavior.

Here is the kicker:

* It's only because your cheats are not completely working that I obtained
* the expected results!!! Mike Terry identified this first.

Here is hat happens: HHH simulates DDD, performing the abort tests.
DDD starts a level [2] simulation. That simulation also calls HHH
and when it hits that address, the abort criteria kick in: the outer
HHH bails and returns 0.

Now we get to the kicker: before returning, HHH overwrites the
static execution trace buffer pointer wth 0x90909090.

Now, we resume the abandoned level [1] simulation. What happens is that
the level [2] simulation now continues executing into HHH.  This level
[2] HHH notices, "hey, I don't have an execution trace buffer: the
pointer is 0x90909090".  It therefore allocates one and thinks that it
is the Root decider (Root == 1).  Therefore, the level [2] HHH performs
the abort test, and eventually returns 0 to the level [2] DDD. That DDD
then terminates whch is detected by the level [1] HHH, which returns 0.
The level [1] DD then terminates, and so ends the level[1] simulation
that we resumed.

So by dumb luck, we observe the "correct" behavior; your stupid
cheat fucked itself by resetting the trace buffer pointer.

Most of my remarks refer to a correctly implemented, de-fuckerized
version of your test case without the static data, in which HHH,
DD and all those are pure functions.

Mike Terry implemented something like that,  "MTJ_HHH" and "MJT_DD".
He saw the infinite tower of termnating simuations start up,
and proceed into several levels.

That's not a technical argument though; that's just your own
insecurity speaking.

Quite the contrary.

What is nuts is the development of the x86utm and Halt7.

Code for resuming abandoned simulations is an injection of a small
amount of sanity into the project.

It exposes (in one more way) that your claims are nuts.

You obviously don't have any understanding of software, if you
don't realize that if we have the slave_state pointer of
a simulation, we can make it take another step wth DebugStep.

But that isn't what HHH does, so your logic is just a lie.

Sorry, all you are doing is proving you think lies are valid logic.

But if the simulation was conclusively proved to be non-halting, why did 
it halt?

Answer: Because it was NOT proved to be non-halting, a DIFFERENT input, 
one that called a DIFFERENT decider was shown to be non-halting.

The problem is you logic is built on the concept that changing constants 
in the middle of a problem is valid.

In other words, that it is ok to LIE.

But, since a reasonable person (which you are not) would understand it 
them not be true, make you just a pathological liar.

Lies include statements that are obviously false, even if the person 
unreasonably beleives them, that just shows they are mentally incapable 
of understanding the truth.

And the problem that "to the best of your knowledge" is MEANINGLESS as 
you are just proving yourself to be delusional.

Knowledge and truth are different, but you think you miniscule idea of 
what you know defines truth, showing your utter stupidity,

The chief editor of one of the most prestigious
computer science journals exchanged about 15
emails with me. The bottom line was that he
could not understand the x86 language well enough.

I have spoken with Ben continuously for 15 years.
He knows this aspect of computer science quite well.
Perhaps better than anyone else here.

<MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>
   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.

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning" computable.

This required establishing a new foundation
for correct reasoning.

(1) That has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
(2) I only look at comp.theory.

After 15 emails? The problem is that the x86 language is
a dead language. I will reformulate using a C interpreter.

It was my own words that I spent two years carefully
crafting that he agreed with.

The first paragraph (that Ben and no one else agreed with)
has only a single correct interpretation.

So you are the second person out of dozens and dozens
that agree with Ben? That is a good sign.

LOL; the obvious interpretation of that is "I will say anything

That would not take 25 emails. I just counted them.

If I was incorrect then someone would be able to
point to some actual mistake and thus not need to
rely on ad hominem and insults.

To the best of my knowledge You were the only one
that ever found any actual mistake in my work that
was not a mere typo since 2020.

You are the one who disagrees with the x86 processors about the x86
language semantics. When an x86 processor executes a program it executes
according to the x86 semantics. When DD is executed according to the x86
semantics it halts. Anybody who says that DD specifies a non-halting
behaviour disagrees with the x86 semantics.

But, DD can halt or not halt, right?

Olcott cherry picks a hyper simple program and says see, I can tell if 
it halts or not! I am an genius. Ect... He can detect a non-terminating 
condition! God be praised indeed.

If HHH(DD) returns non-zero it goes into an infinite GOTO loop. We can 
say this is non-halting. If HHH(DD) returns zero, DD halts.

int DD()
{
10:    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
20:    if (Halt_Status)
30:       HERE: goto HERE;
40:    return Halt_Status;
}
