    We stipulate that the only measure of a correct emulation is the
    semantics of the x86 programming language.

    When N steps of DDD are emulated by HHH according to the
    semantics of the x86 language then N steps are emulated correctly.

    When we examine the infinite set of every HHH/DDD pair such that:
    HHH₁ one step of DDD is correctly emulated by HHH.
    HHH₂ two steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.
    HHH₃ three steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.
    ...
    HHH∞ The emulation of DDD by HHH never stops running.

    The above specifies the infinite set of every HHH/DDD pair
    where 1 to infinity steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.

    No DDD instance of each HHH/DDD pair ever reaches past its
    own machine address of 0000216b and halts.

    Thus each HHH element of the above infinite set of HHH/DDD
    pairs is necessarily correct to reject its DDD as non-halting.

    When N steps of DDD are emulated by HHH according to the
    semantics of the x86 language then N steps are emulated correctly.

    But the following M steps are not simulated at all, making the as a
    whole invalid, because:
    1) That contradicts your stipulation that the only measure of a correct emulation is the semantics of the x86 programming language. The x86
    language does not allow an abort halfway of a series of instructions.
    2) Skipping the simulation of only some steps will make the behaviour different. The simulator must process the whole input, not only the
    first part.


    When we examine the infinite set of every HHH/DDD pair such that:
    HHH₁ one step of DDD is correctly emulated by HHH.

    Then it skips the last part of the simulation and that makes the
    simulation as a whole incorrect.

    HHH₂ two steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.

    Then it skips the last part of the simulation and that makes the
    simulation as a whole incorrect.

    HHH₃ three steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.

    Then it skips the last part of the simulation and that makes the
    simulation as a whole incorrect.

    ...
    HHH∞ The emulation of DDD by HHH never stops running.

    Even that simulation is incorrect, because it does not end.


    The above specifies the infinite set of every HHH/DDD pair
    where 1 to infinity steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.

    And where the HHH that abort skip the simulation of the last part of its input, making the simulation incorrect.


    No DDD instance of each HHH/DDD pair ever reaches past its
    own machine address of 0000216b and halts.

    Showing that none of these simulations was correct.
    It only proves that no HHH in this set is able to simulate itself correctly.


    Thus each HHH element of the above infinite set of HHH/DDD
    pairs is necessarily correct to reject its DDD as non-halting.

    No, the conclusion must be that none of the HHH in this set is able to simulate itself correctly and reach the end of the simulation.
    They all miss the last part of the simulation and therefore, do not
    process the full input.
    So, the abort was always premature and no conclusion about halting or non-halting is possible. For each of the HHH that abort, it makes no
    sense to dream of a HHH that does not abort, because that is not the one
    that this HHH is simulating.
    Each of the HHH in this set only simulates itself, not another one of
    this set. Dreaming of another HHH in this set when simulating only
    itself, is irrelevant and does not make the simulation correct.

    No matter how much you want it to be correct, or how many times you
    repeat that it is correct, it does not change the fact that none of
    these simulations is correct, because none of them is able to reach the end. For each HHH in this set we see that HHH cannot possibly simulate itself correctly.

    DDD has nothing to do with it. It is easy to eliminate DDD:

    int main() {
    return HHH(main);
    }

    This has the same problem. This proves that the problem is not in DDD,
    but in HHH, which halts when it aborts the simulation, but it decides
    that the simulation of itself does not halt.

    HHH is unable to decide about finite recursions.

    void Finite_Recursion (int N) {
    if (N > 0) Finite_Recursion (N - 1);
    }

    It decides after N recursions that there is an infinite recursion, which
    is incorrect.
    When it should decide about Finite_Recursion(5), the programmer starts
    to dream about an infinite set of Finite_Recursion(M), with M=0 to
    infinity, and decides that it must be an infinite recursion.

    When N steps of DDD are emulated by HHH according to the
    semantics of the x86 language then N steps are emulated correctly.

    And thus HHH that do that know only the first N steps of the behavior of
    DDD, which continues per the definition of the x86 instruction set until
    the COMPLETE emulation (or direct execution) reaches a terminal instruction.


    When we examine the infinite set of every HHH/DDD pair such that:

    And thus, the subset that only did a finite number of steps and aborted
    its emulation on a non-terminal instrucition only have partial knowledge
    of the behavior of their DDD, and by returning to their caller, they
    establish that behavior for ALL copies of that HHH, even the one that
    DDD calls, which shows that DDD will be halting, even though HHH stopped
    its observation of the input before it gets to that point.

    where 1 to infinity steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.

    No DDD instance of each HHH/DDD pair ever reaches past its

    Wrong. EVERY DDD of an HHH that simulated its input for only a finite
    number of steps WILL halt becuase it will reach its final return.

    The HHH that simulated it for only a finite number of steps, only
    learned that finite number of steps of the behaivor, and in EVERY case,
    when we look at the behavior past that point, which DOES occur per the definition of the x86 instruction set, as we have not reached a
    "termial" instruction that stops behavior, will see the HHH(DDD) that
    DDD called continuing to simulate its input to the point that this one
    was defined to stop, and then returns 0 to DDDD and then DDD returning
    and ending the behavior.

    You continue to stupidly confuse the PARTIAL observation that HHH does
    of the behavior of DDD by its PARTIAL emulation with the ACTUAL FULL

    Nope.

    NONE Of them CORRECTLY rejected itS DDD as non-halting and you are shown
    to be ignorant of what you are talking about.

    The HHH that did a partial emulation got the wrong answer, because THEIR
    DDD will halt. and the HHH that doen't abort never get around to
    rejecting its DDD as non-halting.

    Which is just your double-talk to try to redefine what halting means.

    You are just showing your mential inability to distinguish between what
    is actually true and the limited observation of your machines, or that
    all the DDDs that the HHHs are emulating are DIFFERENT, because they
    need to include the HHH they are paired with, or HHH CAN'T do what you
    said it does.

    The fact that HHH's partial emulation doesn't reach the terminal
    instructions, doesn't mean that the actual behavior doesn't.

    You are just stuck in your incorrect subjective view of the universe.

    When N steps of DDD are emulated by HHH according to the
    semantics of the x86 language then N steps are emulated correctly.

    And thus HHH that do that know only the first N steps of the
    behavior of DDD, which continues per the definition of the x86
    instruction set until the COMPLETE emulation (or direct execution)
    reaches a terminal instruction.


    When we examine the infinite set of every HHH/DDD pair such that:
    HHH₁ one step of DDD is correctly emulated by HHH.
    HHH₂ two steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.
    HHH₃ three steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.
    ...
    HHH∞ The emulation of DDD by HHH never stops running.

    And thus, the subset that only did a finite number of steps and
    aborted its emulation on a non-terminal instrucition only have
    partial knowledge of the behavior of their DDD, and by returning to
    their caller, they establish that behavior for ALL copies of that
    HHH, even the one that DDD calls, which shows that DDD will be
    halting, even though HHH stopped its observation of the input before
    it gets to that point.


    The above specifies the infinite set of every HHH/DDD pair
    where 1 to infinity steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.

    No DDD instance of each HHH/DDD pair ever reaches past its
    own machine address of 0000216b and halts.

    Wrong. EVERY DDD of an HHH that simulated its input for only a
    finite number of steps WILL halt becuase it will reach its final
    return.

    The HHH that simulated it for only a finite number of steps, only
    learned that finite number of steps of the behaivor, and in EVERY
    case, when we look at the behavior past that point, which DOES occur
    per the definition of the x86 instruction set, as we have not
    reached a "termial" instruction that stops behavior, will see the
    HHH(DDD) that DDD called continuing to simulate its input to the
    point that this one was defined to stop, and then returns 0 to DDDD
    and then DDD returning and ending the behavior.

    You continue to stupidly confuse the PARTIAL observation that HHH
    does of the behavior of DDD by its PARTIAL emulation with the ACTUAL
    FULL behavior of DDD as defined by the full definition of the x86
    insttuction set.



    Thus each HHH element of the above infinite set of HHH/DDD
    pairs is necessarily correct to reject its DDD as non-halting.


    Nope.

    NONE Of them CORRECTLY rejected itS DDD as non-halting and you are
    shown to be ignorant of what you are talking about.

    The HHH that did a partial emulation got the wrong answer, because
    THEIR DDD will halt. and the HHH that doen't abort never get around
    to rejecting its DDD as non-halting.

    *Here is the gist of my proof it is irrefutable*
    When no DDD of every HHH/DDD that can possibly exist
    halts then each HHH that rejects its DDD as non-halting
    is necessarily correct.

    *No double-talk and weasel words can overcome that*


    Which is just your double-talk to try to redefine what halting means.


    You try to cut my airtight proof up in little pieces and fail.
    Every rebuttal that you make has disagreeing with the semantics
    of the x86 language as its basis.


    How?

    What Semantic of the x86 instruction set as defined by Intel dp I violate?

    Where is the statement that justifies stopping the simulation in any way
    still recreates the full behavior of the program given to the simulator?

    Where does it say that calling a function make the processor do ANYTHING
    other than stepping through the function itself? (So you can try to
    argue that calling HHH, a CONDITIONAL emulator, begins AT THE x86
    INSTRUCTION LEVEL, and emulation of the program given as an input?)

    What "instruction" tells the processor to "emulate" the program
    specified as a parameter to the function being called.


    This is just another of you many unfounded LIES where you claim
    something that you can not prove and just deflect, deflect, deflect, as
    you KNOW you have no grounds to base it on, just you own lies.

    This is just like your "non-sense" and non-existent "Diagonalization"
    proof that shows Godel wrong.

    Your argument is only "Air-tight" in the sense that it is just like a 3
    year old threatening to hold his breath until he turns blue.

    Go ahead, keep repeating you lie, and we can keep on pointing out how
    stupid you are to continue making the claim, it just show how absolutely little you understand what you are talking about.

    This is double talk, because no HHH can possibly exist that simulates
    itself correctly. We know that every DDD would halt when simulated
    correctly. Each HHH misses the last part of the behaviour of the input, because they all abort one cycle too soon.
    You like to ignore it and continue to double-talk about the properties
    of an empty set of HHH that correctly simulate itself.

    No matter how much you want it to be correct, or how many times you
    repeat that it is correct, it does not change the fact that none of
    these simulations is correct, because none of them is able to reach the end. For each HHH in this set we see that HHH cannot possibly simulate itself correctly.

    DDD has nothing to do with it. It is easy to eliminate DDD:

    int main() {
    return HHH(main);
    }

    This has the same problem. This proves that the problem is not in DDD,
    but in HHH, which halts when it aborts the simulation, but it decides
    that the simulation of itself does not halt.

    HHH is unable to decide about finite recursions.

    void Finite_Recursion (int N) {
    if (N > 0) Finite_Recursion (N - 1);
    }

    It decides after N recursions that there is an infinite recursion, which
    is incorrect.

    This is double talk, because no HHH can possibly exist that simulates
    itself correctly.

    Your definition of correct contradicts the semantics of
    the x86 language making it wrong.


    You have a wrong understanding of the semantics of the x86 language. You
    think that the x86 language specifies that skipping instructions do not
    change the behaviour of a program.
    However, the x86 language does not allow an abort halfway the processing
    of the instructions, because that would change the behaviour of the program. Your simulation does not follow the semantics of the x86 language,
    because it *does* stop the simulation halfway the simulation.
    So it is wrong according to your own criteria.

    DDD has nothing to do with it. It is easy to eliminate DDD:

    int main() {
    return HHH(main);
    }

    This has the same problem. This proves that the problem is not in DDD,
    but in HHH, which halts when it aborts the simulation, but it decides
    that the simulation of itself does not halt.

    HHH is unable to decide about finite recursions.

    void Finite_Recursion (int N) {
    if (N > 0) Finite_Recursion (N - 1);
    }

    It decides after N recursions that there is an infinite recursion, which
    is incorrect.

    Your HHH is programmed to abort the simulation after N cycles of
    recursive simulations. Therefore, it is incorrect to abort the
    simulation of HHH when the simulated HHH has performed N-1 cycles,
    because that changes the behaviour of HHH.
    Since the simulated HHH always runs one cycle behind the simulating HHH,
    it is clear that HHH can never simulate enough cycles for a correct simulation, as is required by the x86 language.
    Therefore, the simulation is incorrect according to the criteria you stipulated.
    The conclusion is simple:
    HHH cannot possibly simulate itself correctly.

    No matter how much you want it to be correct, or how many times you
    repeat that it is correct, it does not change the fact that such a
    simulation is incorrect, because it is unable to reach the end.

    Sipser would agree that this incorrect simulation cannot be used to
    detect a non-halting behaviour.

    Your problem is you don't seem to understand is that all copies of a
    given deterministic program act the same and that the simulator aborting
    its simulation doesn't actually stop the behavior of the program it is emulating, as it can't affect that context that the program actually
    runs in.


    You seem to have a fundamental issue with understanding the difference

    No, because it has been shown that EVERY DDD instance that is based on
    ANY of the HHHs that abort their emulation and return will also reach
    past that address and return. It is only the PARTIAL EMULATION of them
    by HHH which does not and that is NOT a "correct emulation" per the x86 language as it breaks the "and the next instruction will execute rule"

    The fact that HHH has been designed to do this to meet the requirement
    to be a decider does not remove the requirement to answer per the
    behavior specified by the x86 language, which the decider now does not know.

    Your "Logic" seems to be based on the concept that it is ok to lie if
    that is all you know how to do. That means yout logic just is not correct.

    Your assumption that you can not be wrong just makes you wrong, as you
    think it is ok to assume things that are just not true. So, you are just
    lying to yourself and believing those lies.

    and returns to the DDD that called it is not the same

    of that DDD and returns is shown to be halting, not non-halting. It is
    just that HHH can't see that behavior becuase it aborted its simulation.

    "DDD" is the program, not the partial emulation of it, so it halts
    even if HHHs PARTIAL simulaton of it ddn't reach thatpoint.


    You seem to fail to understand the notion of differing
    process contexts. It is a tricky notion for people that
    have never done operating system level programming.
    https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/context-switch-in-operating-system/


    Which is something I don't have problems with, since I have written my
    own operating systems.

    Your problem is you don't seem to understand is that all copies of a
    given deterministic program act the same

    By this same reasoning when you are hungry and eat until
    you are full you are still hungry because you are still
    yourself.

    Not at all, I am not a deterministic entity like HHH and DDD.



    After HHH has already aborted its simulation of DDD
    and returns to the DDD that called it is not the same
    behavior as DDD simulated by HHH that must be aborted.


    Right, and the question is about the behavior of DDD, not the behavior
    that HHH sees in its emulation of DDD. The first is an objective
    standard, suitable for trying to decide, the second is a subjective
    standard, which can not be an objective mapping of just DDD, which is
    what a decider given that input must be asked to decide on.

    So, your logic is just invalid.

    But it has access to the complete representation of it.

    That is all that is needed.

    You just don't understand the essential nature of how logic works.

    As soon as HHH correctly determines that it must abort the
    simulation of its input to prevent its own infinite execution
    HHH is necessarily correct to reject this finite string as
    specifying non-halting behavior.


    But it doesn't ever do that.

    It determines that some other HHH with some other version of the input
    DDD doesn't halt.

    Any HHH that aborts, does so because it reached the point it was
    programmed to do so. The PROGRAMMER is the one that needs to decide on
    the algorithm to correctly determine that condition, which there, unfortunately for you since you decided to take that job, doesn't exist.

    When you design HHH, you need to think about EVERY possible input, since
    that is what the problem statement says, INCLUDING inputs that happen to
    be based on you. Because of that, everytime you make change in your
    design based on the behavior of one input, the "pathological" input you
    need to handle changes. This ability of pathological relationships, and
    the fact that you need to be designing a causal program means that you
    have yourself stuck in a corner. The program that the input represents
    is a fixed program once we get to that point, and thus when you argue
    about "NO HHH" can get this input right, you are wrong, as version that
    run longer on THIS input, based on this HHH will reach the final state
    and show this NHH was wrong, but those HHHs also have a DDD that was
    based on them that they will get wrong.

    Bsically, you are looking at your infinite set wrong, HHH can't justify
    its behavior based on the actions of a DIFFERENT input, but you logic
    tries to do that.

    And you think that HHH partial observation of the some of the behavior
    of DDD affects it.

    The behavior that HHH does with respect to its CALLER affects DDD, since
    DDD calls HHH.

    The behavior that HHH does with respect to its simulation does not,
    except as far as it affects it behavior with resoect to its caller.

    HHH aborting its simulation does NOTHING to the behavior of DDD, except
    to establish that the HHH that DDD calls will abort its simulation.

    DDD and HHH have code that defines the behavior of both of them.

    If HHH aborts its simulation, for ANY REASON, and returns, then the DDD
    tha calls that HHH will halt.

    Thus, ANY HHH that reports HHH(DDD) is non-halting, is BY DEFINTION, wrong.


    Now you stupidly insist that this is not analogous
    to being hungry before you have eaten and not being
    hungry after you have eaten.

    And you don't seem to understand how determinism works.

    I know that if I eat I will become not hunger, even before I start to
    eat, and


    That you call me a liar will send you to Hell.
    I don't want that.


    But I don't lie, you do.

    You just don't understand even the basics of that which you talk about,
    which is why you keep on need to go to totally unrelated ideas.

    After HHH has already aborted its simulation of DDD

    has no access to.

    HHH cannot be correctly required to report on the behavior

    But it has access to the complete representation of it.


    In other words you are still hungry AFTER you filled

    Maybe you need to stop eating so much Herring with Red Sauce, and
    focus on some of the errors pointed out in your logic rather than
    just ignoring them, which, in effect, just admitss that you have no
    idea how to get out of your lies.

    You continue to stupidly insist that DDD specifies
    the same behavior before its simulation has been
    aborted than after it simulation has been aborted.

    And you think that HHH partial observation of the some of the behavior
    of DDD affects it.


    No stupid you know that I didn't say anything like that.

    So HHH has NO evidence to back its claims?

    What other evidence does HHH actually have?

    Remember, your claim is that DDD does not halt, even if HHH decides that
    DDD is non-halting and returns.

    Since it is clear that just running this DDD that calls the HHH(DDD)
    that aborts and returns will cause that DDD to return.

    What makes that DDD not halt?

    I guess you are just admitting that you are nothing but a LIAR.
