Yes, but then the #<interp0> simulation still exists, and the machine
continues it:
Previously we have this ending of H(D):
0 8 for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ... P = D; s = #<interp0>; i = 3
0 9 return false; P = D; s = #<interp0>; i = 3
Then #<interp0> is picked up in order to validate H(D)'s claim. This
is continuing D inside the simulated H(D): so the level is 1:
Notice that "1 3" already appeared previously; I only repeated it
for informational purposes, to indicate where the simulation had left
off:
1 3 interp *s = interp_init(P); ... P = D; s = #<garbage>
Then first step of the resumption of #<interp0> is actually "1 4":
the variable has been initialized by the above to a new simulation #<interp1>
and we get into the 0 to 2 for loop:
1 4 for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ... P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 0
1 5 if (interp_step(s)) ... P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 0
2 1 if (H(D)) ...
1 6 for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ... P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 1
1 7 if (interp_step(s)) ... P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 0
2 2 H(D)
1 7 for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ... P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 2
1 7 if (interp_step(s)) ... P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 0
2 3 interp *s = interp_init(P); ... P = D; s = #<garbage>
1 8 for (int i = 0; i < 3 i++) ... P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 3
1 9 return false; P = D; s = #<interp1>; i = 3
1 10 if (#<false>) { for(;;); }
1 11 return;
So we get to "1 9 return false;" which is an exact mirror of the
previuos "0 9 return false;".
Same step number, 9, but one level down!
Since this is the simulated H(D): the "return false;" goes back to the
simulated D where the if (H(D)) statement now has evaluated its
expression to false: "1 10 if (#<false>) { ... }". So it skips
the loop and goes to "1 11 return;": D terminates!
In order to believe that D does not terminate we have to believe irrational
ideas like that when the outer H returns false, D is "totally dead". (How can
something "totally dead' be nonterminating?)
You've always correctly claimed that discontinuing the simulation is
not the same as halting. But the flipside of that is that it is not
the same as a non-halting, either!
The arbitrary cessation of a simulation isn't a determiner of whether
the simulated subject is halting or not.
