    yeah i ran into the same problem,

    simulating the recursion with an action after the detection feeds back
    into making the detection invalid...

    it's a rather weird measurement paradox, like the measurement of the
    fact of infinite recursion gets invalidate by actions taken after the measurement itself happened

    how do we frame this as a certain contradiction?

    rick tried to dismiss it with the claim the simulating the machine with
    an external detector isn't the same as just running the machine...

    Not at all. It is perfectly correct within the whole PTS perspective.

    fact of infinite recursion gets invalidate by actions taken after the measurement itself happened


    No "paradox" has ever been anything besides undetected
    semantic incoherence. By dividing semantics from syntax
    (after the syllogism) using model theory this incoherence
    became invisible.

    how do we frame this as a certain contradiction?

    Technical experts in math, computation, logic and
    semantics view alternative foundations as blasphemy.

    But that is in error as the "well-founded justification tree" of a
    program is it execution path.

    The only way for DD to not have one, is for HHH to not generate one, and
    thus not be a program.

    There is nothing semantically unsound about a program doing the opposite
    of what another program, included as a subprogram, reports.

    That just makes the other program incorrect.

    If HHH is a actual program, and returns "FALSE" as it is asserting that
    it is not true that the DD described to it halts, as it thinks it is
    "not well founded" makes DD welll founded in behavior as it halts.

    Remember, the question of a halt decider is does its input represent a
    halting program or not. If the input is not a program, then it must
    respond false (as would a "proof-theoretic halt prover if the behavior
    is not well founded). There is no allowed answer for "not a valid input"
    as ALL inputs are "valid", and the only answer for inputs that are not representations of halting programs, even if this is because they are
    not actually representations of programs, is false/reject. There is not
    third answer allowed.

    And if HHH(DD) returns false, then DD() halts, and this *IS* a
    well-founded justification of the behavior of DD.

    The ONLY way that "false" is a correct answer is if DD isn't a program,
    which means that HHH can't be a program (as DD is definitely formed as a program from any HHH that is a program) and since halt deciders are
    required to be programs, you are just admitting that lied, or at least
    just don't understand what you are talking about.

    It seems, BOTH are true, as you pathologically lie out of a refusal to
    learn the meaning of what you talk about.

    Your problem is that with "machines" you can't make a decider that can't
    be incorporated into a valid input.

    There is a fundamental limitation of computation once this "recursion"
    becomes possible.

    Even with Oracle machines, as a level-N Oracle machine would need to be
    able to be given a level-H Oracle input, which we can show it can't handle.

    A level-N Oracle machine can only handle inputs based on at most
    level-N-1 Oracle machines.

    By this, A Maximal Power Computation (the Level-0 Oracle) can't handle a
    full maximal power computation input, and thus can't decide for *ALL*
    machine inputs.

    The moment that one switches from the notion of a halt
    decider to the fully coherent notion of a proof theoretic
    halting prover the halting problem counter-example input
    is rejected as not specifying a well-founded justification
    tree, thus a semantically incoherent input.

    The only other category of what is mistakenly called undecidable
    input are things that are outside of the body of knowledge such
    as the truth value of the Goldbach conjecture.

    All of every kind of "paradox" has always only been only
    been undiscovered incoherence.

    Your problem is that with "machines" you can't make a decider that
    can't be incorporated into a valid input.

    There is a fundamental limitation of computation once this
    "recursion" becomes possible.

    Even with Oracle machines, as a level-N Oracle machine would need
    to be able to be given a level-H Oracle input, which we can show it >>>>> can't handle.

    A level-N Oracle machine can only handle inputs based on at most
    level-N-1 Oracle machines.

    By this, A Maximal Power Computation (the Level-0 Oracle) can't
    handle a full maximal power computation input, and thus can't
    decide for *ALL* machine inputs.

    how do u know this isn't a fault of the theory in failing to express
    this computation?

    decider to the fully coherent notion of a proof theoretic
    halting prover the halting problem counter-example input

    the problem is if u run the DD()
    That you just ignored proof theoretic semantics and
    cannot possibly grasp what I said correctly.

    As a proof theoretic halt prover DD is absolutely
    and positively rejected. You cannot see this until
    you first totally understand all of proof theoretic
    semantics.

    As far as a proof theoretic halt prover goes
    that question is the same as asking do you
    need a screwdriver or a hammer to bake an

    DD as bad input. That's all there is to it in
    proof theoretic semantics.

    In PTS it is the inference steps themselves

    Because it has been logically proven.

    Unless you want to presume that logic is inherently flawed, as we can
    not trust any proof, the assumption of things proven impossible just
    isn't allowed.

    Your world seems to be based on the assumption that magical unicorns
    exist that can allow you to do what has been proven to be impossible,
    and thus you live in a fantasy world.

    The moment that one switches from the notion of a halt
    decider to the fully coherent notion of a proof theoretic
    halting prover the halting problem counter-example input
    is rejected as not specifying a well-founded justification
    tree, thus a semantically incoherent input.

    But a "Prove Theoretic Halting Prover" isn't a thing. Note, "Programs"
    don't specifiy "justification trees" but sequences of behavior.

    All you are doing is proving that you don't know what a "decider" is,
    all you are doing is proving that your "Decider" HHH can't actually be a "Program" and thus can't be a "Decider" since it doesn't form a
    difinitive path of operations when given a specific input.

    Thus, you claim that your HHH is a decider is a LIE, or your claim that
    it is correct in its decision is a LIE.

    Since you provide the code for HHH, and thus is IS a program, you just
    show you don't understand how "Logic" works, or what it means for a
    statment to be "True" as you think an incorrect answer can be correct.


    The only other category of what is mistakenly called undecidable
    input are things that are outside of the body of knowledge such
    as the truth value of the Goldbach conjecture.

    The problem is that "Knowledge" and "Truth" are different things, and
    your categorical confusion of them just shows you don't understand the difference, or what you are actually talking about.

    Yes, the halting problem show that some FACTS about the world of
    Mathematics will forever be outside our "Body of Knowledge" as no proof
    of them can possibly exist to make them Knowledge. That is what "Undecidability" means.

    The fact that Halting is "Undecidable" means that there exist some machine/input compbinations that we can NEVER know if they will
    ultimately halt or not.

    This IS a fundamental limit to the power of computations, and to
    knowledge, not just some improperly stated question.

    All of every kind of "paradox" has always only been only
    been undiscovered incoherence.


    Nope, and you claim just shows your ignorance and stupidity.

    So, does HHH have a well-founded justification tree for its answer?

    If so, why doesn't DD, which uses that EXACT SAME CODE not have one?

    Your problem is you LIE that HHH is actually a decider, which requires

    Until you understand the basics of the rules of computations, all your comments are just ignorant pathological lies.

    Your problem is that with "machines" you can't make a decider

    As far as a proof theoretic halt prover goes that
    question is as relevant to HHH/DD as asking should
    HHH have mustard on its pizza?


    But, what is the actual question that HHH is answering?

    If it isn't based on the actual HALTING property of the machine DD, it
    is just irrelevent.

    And it is clear that DD will PROVABLY halt if HHH returns says that it
    is not true that DD halts.

    It only loops if HHH says that DD actually halts.

    And thus, there is nothing not-well-founded about its halting. HHH
    trying to say it doesn't halt because its doesn't form a well-founded justification tree (what ever that means for the behavior of a program) established a proof that DD halts, and thus there *IS* a well-founded justification tree that DD halts, and thus HHH was WRONG.

    Any attempt to talk about HHH in that case returning something else is
    an admittion that your HHH never was a program in the first place, and
    thuys your whole premise was a lie, because we started here with a
    stipulation that THIS HHH returns false because it thinks its input has
    no well-founded justification tree about halting, which turns out to exist.

    Sorry, you are just caught in your lies, just like you are caught in the
    lies about never being arrested for possession of child porn.

    Because it has been logically proven.

    Unless you want to presume that logic is inherently flawed, as we can
    not trust any proof, the assumption of things proven impossible just
    isn't allowed.

    Your world seems to be based on the assumption that magical unicorns
    exist that can allow you to do what has been proven to be impossible,
    and thus you live in a fantasy world.

    for any given partial halting recognizer one can demonstrate an machine
    that with semantics that ought to result in a true return, but that the recognizer cannot answer truthfully true to...

    but for every one of those machines we've proven what the machine does,
    and that the partial halting recognizer must response false because it
    cannot answer truthfully true...

    which is fine as such a response within it's specification, but the
    failure to answer truthful true is _not_ because the machine's semantics
    is fundamentally undecidable, it's only "undecidable" from the
    perspective of that specific partial recognizer...

    the question i'm left with is what algo did we use to compute that if
    it's truly uncomputable?

    you might say we did an analysis that transcends any kind of single
    algo, but i kinda doubt that???

    The moment that one switches from the notion of a halt
    decider to the fully coherent notion of a proof theoretic
    halting prover the halting problem counter-example input
    is rejected as not specifying a well-founded justification
    tree, thus a semantically incoherent input.

    the problem is if u run the DD()
    That you just ignored proof theoretic semantics and
    cannot possibly grasp what I said correctly.

    As a proof theoretic halt prover DD is absolutely
    and positively rejected. You cannot see this until
    you first totally understand all of proof theoretic
    semantics.

    It like like I say "to bake a cake..." and you say
    that I used the hammer and screw driver incorrectly


    is DD() executable or not???


    As far as a proof theoretic halt prover goes
    that question is the same as asking do you
    need a screwdriver or a hammer to bake an
    angel food cake. HHH just correctly rejects
    DD as bad input. That's all there is to it in
    proof theoretic semantics.

    In PTS it is the inference steps themselves
    that derive ALL of the semantic meaning of DD.


    "is DD() a valid executable machine or not" is a true/false
    question, and your response did not answer that question polcott


    As far as a proof theoretic halt prover goes that
    question is as relevant to HHH/DD as asking should
    HHH have mustard on its pizza?


    regardless of whether it's relevant, ur not answering the question:


    The question proves that your understanding is
    incorrect. Being incorrectly understood is the
    opposite of my goal.

    ofc my understanding is likely incorrect,

    i'm literally asking the question to further my understanding of what
    you are proposing, as my intuition dictates ... which is really the only
    way i know how to learn things like this. i'm sorry.

    are you going to answer it or not:

    is DD() a valid executable machine or not?

    yeah i ran into the same problem,

    simulating the recursion with an action after the detection feeds
    back into making the detection invalid...

    it's a rather weird measurement paradox, like the measurement of
    the fact of infinite recursion gets invalidate by actions taken
    after the measurement itself happened

    how do we frame this as a certain contradiction?

    rick tried to dismiss it with the claim the simulating the machine
    with an external detector isn't the same as just running the
    machine...


    Your problem is that with "machines" you can't make a decider that
    can't be incorporated into a valid input.

    There is a fundamental limitation of computation once this
    "recursion" becomes possible.

    Even with Oracle machines, as a level-N Oracle machine would need to
    be able to be given a level-H Oracle input, which we can show it
    can't handle.

    A level-N Oracle machine can only handle inputs based on at most
    level-N-1 Oracle machines.

    By this, A Maximal Power Computation (the Level-0 Oracle) can't
    handle a full maximal power computation input, and thus can't decide
    for *ALL* machine inputs.

    how do u know this isn't a fault of the theory in failing to express
    this computation?


    Because it has been logically proven.

    Unless you want to presume that logic is inherently flawed, as we can
    not trust any proof, the assumption of things proven impossible just
    isn't allowed.

    Your world seems to be based on the assumption that magical unicorns
    exist that can allow you to do what has been proven to be impossible,
    and thus you live in a fantasy world.

    for any given partial halting recognizer one can demonstrate an machine
    that with semantics that ought to result in a true return, but that the recognizer cannot answer truthfully true to...

    And who cares about a new PARTIAL recognizer for a problem with many
    partial recognizer solutions.

    Note, it isn't "cannot" but "does not" as cannot expresses the concept
    that the machine has a "choice", which it doesn't. The given code for
    the decider has a predetermined fixed answer that it will give for any
    imput.


    but for every one of those machines we've proven what the machine does,
    and that the partial halting recognizer must response false because it cannot answer truthfully true...

    So, that just proves that there can not be a COMPLETE recognizer.


    which is fine as such a response within it's specification, but the
    failure to answer truthful true is _not_ because the machine's semantics
    is fundamentally undecidable, it's only "undecidable" from the
    perspective of that specific partial recognizer...

    Which, as I have pointed out, means that a machine that ALWAYS responds
    false will also meet your specification, as a machine that responds
    false "cannot" get the correct answer for any halting machines, just as
    the decider above couldn't get the right answer for the machine built to
    foil it.

    Your criteria is just that the pattern of steps used by the algorithm
    give the wrong answer for this input. The Olcottian logic of watch the
    input change if you change the decider is just based on lying, as the
    input is a FIXED value in asking the problem, and being an actual
    program and its description, is fully fixed and not dependent on
    something outside of it.


    the question i'm left with is what algo did we use to compute that if
    it's truly uncomputable?

    But the question about the particular machine in this case wasn't uncomputable. The term "Uncomputable" means that there isn't a single
    machine that truthfull answers for *ALL* possible inputs.


    you might say we did an analysis that transcends any kind of single
    algo, but i kinda doubt that???


    No, but we can say your problem is you don't understand the meaning of
    the problem.

    In other words, your HHH isn't actuallly a program and thus your whole arguement is a LIE, or

    HHH is just incorrect about its own behavior.

    After all, HHH *ASSUMES* that HHH will not abort its simulation, and
    thus makes a conclusion about the results that is based on a false premise.

    All you are doing is promoting that LYING is valid logic.

    The fact that one attempt doesn't find the well-founded justification
    treee doesn't mean that one doesn't exist, and in fact, you even admit
    that the alternate program HHH1, that doesn't abort at that point finds
    the well-founded justification tree, and thus PROVES that HHH is
    INCORRECT in its assessment, which means that you have porven that your
    own logic is flawed, but refuse to accept your own evidence.

    This just shows how ignorant and stupid you are, and that you don't care
    about what is actually true, as you are just a pathological liar.

    Sorry, but that is the truth that you are proving about yourself.

    Your question proves that you are stupidly incorrect.

    No, your evading it shows you know youy can't answer or you are
    admitting you are just a pathological liar.

    The problem is that if you admit that DD is a valid executable machine,
    that means that HHH must also be a properly defined executable machine,
    and thus HHH(DD) as a defined path of execution that creates a
    well-defined justification tree to the fact that DD will halt since your HHH(DD) returns 0 by your stipulations.

    IF you admit that DD isn't a valid executable machine, then you admit
    that your whole case is just a category error, as the halting problem
    has as its domain of inputs, the representation of valid executables,
    and it also shows that HHH must not be a valid executable machine, as
    there is nothing in the code of DD that makes it not a valid executable machine except if HHH isn't one. And if HHH isn't a valid executable
    machine, it CAN'T be the required decider, as deciders must be valid executable machines.

    Thus, you are just demonstarting that you are an ignorant liar that has
    been caught in your lies and trying to evade.


    is DD() a valid executable machine?

    Your question proves that you are stupidly incorrect.

    what am i incorrect about???


    Unless you becomes an expert at proof theoretic semantics
    you cannot possibly ever know. Until then it is like
    trying to explain modern virology to someone convinced
    that disease is caused by evil spirits and have made up
    their mind on this and closed it.

    all i did was ask a question:


    is DD() a valid executable machine?

    regurgitating words isn't the same thing as understanding polcott.
    That is why you must become an expert in proof theoretic
    semantics before you will understand me. Changing the
    subject REALLY WILL NOT HELP !!!


    how is asking about the executable nature of DD changing the subject?


    A proof theoretic ANYTHING prover does not give a
    rat's ass about anything else in the universe besides
    its own sequence of inference steps.



    In other words, your "Proof Theoretic something" is admittedly just a
    strawman as it isn't concerned about halting.

    Your problem is you have talked yourself into a corner.

    If you admit that DD is a valid executable machine, then by your claim
    that HHH returns "false" as it doesn't meet the decision requirements,
    then DD actually HAS a well-founded justification tree to its halting,
    the complete simulation of that machine, something your HHH doesn't do.

    But, if you admit that DD isn't a valid executable machine, it can be
    shown that means that neither is HHH (as otherwise it must be by the properites of machine construction) and thus HHH can't be the decider
    you claim, as deciders must be valid executable machines.

    THus, your only available "answer" is deflection from the TRUTH that you
    have just been an ignorant pathological liar with nothing to support you
    bogus claims.

    Part of your problem is you don't actually understand what you are
    talking about, because you have forced yourself to be intentionally
    ignorant out of fear that the truth might brainwash you out of believing
    your own lies.

    No, YOU have been nothing but incoherent.

    The problem is your PTS interpretation means you can't ask the question
    about a machine halting until you know the answer. THAT is uninteresting.

    As has been pointed out, DD halting *IS* based on a well-founded
    justification tree, just not one that your HHH can find.

    That makes all your work just based on stupid lies.

    when ur proof theoretic whatever prover analyzes DD it concludes the

    It has always been nuts to think that an input

    i'm sorry asking whether DD is a valid executable machine is
    akin to ascribing disease to spirits???

    bro it's a true/false question in regards to the objective
    nature of DD.

    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*
    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*
    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*

    It is like I ask you to read the exact words
    that text says and you take that to mean to say
    what you want the words to mean that has nothing
    to do with exactly what they actually say.

    regurgitating words isn't the same thing as understanding polcott.
    That is why you must become an expert in proof theoretic
    semantics before you will understand me. Changing the
    subject REALLY WILL NOT HELP !!!


    how is asking about the executable nature of DD changing the subject?


    A proof theoretic ANYTHING prover does not give a
    rat's ass about anything else in the universe besides
    its own sequence of inference steps.


    look i'll so beating around the bush:

    DD is a valid executable machine. when run DD halts, and that is fact.
    do u not agree???


    It has always been nuts to think that an input
    that does the opposite of whatever value a halt
    decider returns is a valid input. Ordinary
    unadulterated proof theoretic semantics already
    has the complete and perfect foundational basis
    to reject these inputs as semantically incoherent.

    1.2 Inferentialism, intuitionism, anti-realism
    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,
    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs. It thus belongs to inferentialism (a term
    coined by Brandom, see his 1994; 2000) according to
    which inferences and the rules of inference establish
    the meaning of expressions Schroeder-Heister, Peter,
    2024 "Proof-Theoretic Semantics"

    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/proof-theoretic-semantics/ #InfeIntuAntiReal

    so you do agree DD halts when executed??? or not???


    when ur proof theoretic whatever prover analyzes DD it concludes the
    input is invalid, and that is always a fact. i can agree with this.

    this facts aren't incongruent with each other, both facts can be true.
    DD can be a halting machine that is also invalid input in regards to
    your proof theoretic whatever prover.

    do u not agree???

    So you think, because you don't understand what the theory actualy says.

    Yes, some general philosophers can't define how to handle it, because
    they can't agree on the rules to use.

    Real logitians just understand that the liar's paradox is a statement
    without a truth value.

    No, it doesm't, but you are too stupid to understand it.

    THe problem is "Prolog" isn't a powerful enough system to actually
    handle the logic.

    Yes, the liar's paradox *IS* not well-founded, even in a proof-theoretic system, but Prologs determination doesn't prove it.

    Part of your problem is you don't know what a proof actually is.

    it's still not answering my question...


    Your question proves that you are stupidly incorrect.

    what am i incorrect about???


    Unless you becomes an expert at proof theoretic semantics
    you cannot possibly ever know. Until then it is like
    trying to explain modern virology to someone convinced
    that disease is caused by evil spirits and have made up
    their mind on this and closed it.

    i'm sorry asking whether DD is a valid executable machine is
    akin to ascribing disease to spirits???

    bro it's a true/false question in regards to the objective
    nature of DD.

    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*
    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*
    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*

    It is like I ask you to read the exact words
    that text says and you take that to mean to say
    what you want the words to mean that has nothing
    to do with exactly what they actually say.

    regurgitating words isn't the same thing as understanding polcott.
    That is why you must become an expert in proof theoretic
    semantics before you will understand me. Changing the
    subject REALLY WILL NOT HELP !!!


    how is asking about the executable nature of DD changing the subject?


    A proof theoretic ANYTHING prover does not give a
    rat's ass about anything else in the universe besides
    its own sequence of inference steps.


    look i'll so beating around the bush:

    DD is a valid executable machine. when run DD halts, and that is fact.
    do u not agree???


    It has always been nuts to think that an input
    that does the opposite of whatever value a halt
    decider returns is a valid input. Ordinary
    unadulterated proof theoretic semantics already
    has the complete and perfect foundational basis
    to reject these inputs as semantically incoherent.

    Why?

    Note, the input isn't about "any" halt decider, but the ONE SPECIFIC one
    that it includes the copy of.

    Your problem is you don't understand what a PROGRAM is, and think that
    it can somehow "reference" something not in it.

    Thus, YOUR idea of DD, as refering to "whatever" machine we want to call
    HHH just isn't a valid program, at leadst not until a specific machine
    is specified to be that HHH.

    So, all you have done is proven that you stupidly have been working of
    your own lie as to what the problem you were looking at actually was,
    because you INTENTIALLY made yourself ignorant of it out of the fear
    that "the truth" would brainwash you.


    1.2 Inferentialism, intuitionism, anti-realism
    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,
    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs. It thus belongs to inferentialism (a term
    coined by Brandom, see his 1994; 2000) according to
    which inferences and the rules of inference establish
    the meaning of expressions Schroeder-Heister, Peter,
    2024 "Proof-Theoretic Semantics"

    Which has NOTHING to do with Formal Systems, but is part of the
    arguements of general Philosophers arguing about what rules we should be
    using to think about the real world.

    You don't seem to understand, that in a formal system, all those
    questions go away, as the first step of a formal system is to define
    which methods are "valid" in that system, and thus your concept of
    "changing" a system to use Proof-Theoretic Semantics, when that isn't
    the semantics the system was built on is admitting that you are just a
    liar, adn aren't doing what you are claiming, and you need to determine
    what your new system actually looks like, if it is even possible to do so.

    You are just showing you are too stupid to understand this.


    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/proof-theoretic-semantics/ #InfeIntuAntiReal

    when ur proof theoretic whatever prover analyzes DD it concludes the
    input is invalid, and that is always a fact. i can agree with this.

    this facts aren't incongruent with each other, both facts can be true.
    DD can be a halting machine that is also invalid input in regards to
    your proof theoretic whatever prover.

    do u not agree???

    At this point that question becomes pure trolling

    It has ALWAYS been 100% TOTALLY NUTS to not reject
    an input that does the opposite of whatever its
    decider reports.

    Proof theoretic semantics provides the complete
    foundational basis for this rejection to be
    accomplished algorithmically.


    right but that machine DD _does_ halt...


    Sew UR nuts.

    i'm nuts for suggesting that a halting machine halts???


    Everyone has been nuts to require a machine to
    report on an input that was intentionally designed
    to do the opposite of whatever it reports.

    but it's not "intentional", it just happens to be part of the total
    possible ways a machine can be constructed,

    specifically because the possibility for machines referencing
    themselves (proven by kleene's second recursion theorem):

    because machines can self-reference their own result, this kind of
    circular analytical paradox _is_ possible


    THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF BAD DATA TO BE REJECTED.
    Proof Theoretic Semantics does this very cleanly
    it rejects all such inputs as semantically incoherent.

    except DD _is_ a valid machine, that _does_ halt, no???


    IT WAS MODELED AFTER THE LIAR PARADOX.

    it happens to fit that form much of the time, but decidability problems
    within computing are _not_ intentionally modeled after the liar's paradox...

    turing when he stumbled on the first undecidable situation within
    computing was not considering the liar's paradox or even godel's incompleteness directly. he was considering cantor's diagonal formed
    across all circle-free machines. and without certain fixes, the problem
    arises when the diagonal machine is deciding on itself as circle-free...
    this was not an intention constructional, but an artifact of
    self-references within turing machine logic,

    they just _are_ a possible construction within all permutations of
    turing machine definitions

    It also seems completely psychotic that even the
    Liar Paradox has not been OFFICIALLY ruled to
    have always been incoherent nonsense AFTER 2000 YEARS.

    % This sentence is not true.
    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).
    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    The above unequivocally proves that the Liar
    Paradox exactly and precisely within the framework
    of Proof Theoretic Semantics is semantically
    incoherent.


    i agree something fishy is going on, but we cannot just declare a
    machine that certainly halts as incoherent input to a halting prover
    (without some further explanation of how the truth of it being halting
    is ascertained)

    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number

    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed

    why do u think u need to insult me back when i point that out?

    Proof Theoretic Semantics inherently does this for
    every aspect of any input that does not have a
    finite back-chained sequence of inference steps
    to valid closure.

    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number
    of steps. With PTS these inference steps are
    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed
    to be considered.


    i don't need to insult you to point out the fact DD is a valid
    machine that halts when executed,

    why do u think u need to insult me back when i point that out?


    You keep changing the subject away from the
    fact that DD has always been a bad input to
    any halt decider.

    i thought we agreed an HHH1 which is not named in DD could correctly
    decide on it...


    Just because a bunch of knuckleheads have not
    construed it as a bad input provides zero
    actual evidence that it was not a bad input
    all along.


    right, but DD still halts, and the prover failed to prove that


    This makes me ponder on my fuzzer. You know...

    The first incompleteness theorem states that in

    That's right. You did no not use the word "true" above so its definition

    IT WAS MODELED AFTER THE LIAR PARADOX.

    it happens to fit that form much of the time, but decidability
    problems within computing are _not_ intentionally modeled after the
    liar's paradox...

    turing when he stumbled on the first undecidable situation within
    computing was not considering the liar's paradox or even godel's
    incompleteness directly. he was considering cantor's diagonal formed
    across all circle-free machines. and without certain fixes, the
    problem arises when the diagonal machine is deciding on itself as
    circle-free... this was not an intention constructional, but an
    artifact of self- references within turing machine logic,

    they just _are_ a possible construction within all permutations of
    turing machine definitions

    It also seems completely psychotic that even the

    (without some further explanation of how the truth of it being halting

    Unless UR nuts (or so indoctrinated to drink the
    Kool-Aid of the conventional view that you can't
    think clearly) you would realize that *NOT REJECTING*
    an input that does the opposite of whatever value
    its decider returns *HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY NUTS*

    No, YOU are NUTS for making claims that don't have support.

    WHy can't a program use a decider and do the opposite of what it says?

    It seems you don't understand the basics of what programs can do.


    Proof Theoretic Semantics inherently does this for
    every aspect of any input that does not have a
    finite back-chained sequence of inference steps
    to valid closure.

    But, your problem is that you don't undertstand what you are talking about,

    Your input, the program DD which usees a specific program HHH does have
    a well-founded justification tree for its halting, since that HHH
    returns the result that it doesn't. There is nothing logically wrong
    with that behavior. (THere IS a logical error in that HHH).





    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number
    of steps. With PTS these inference steps are
    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed
    to be considered.


    So?

    Since that isn't the definition of Halting, or what your HHH actually
    does (since it aborts part way) means your "logic" is just based on lies.

    The actual correct simulation of DD, by an actual correct simulator
    shows that it halts.

    The fact that you keep on claiming that you HHH, which only PARTIALLY simulates does a "correct simulation acccording to the sematics of the C programming language" shows that you are just a pathological liar.

    Because, to do that, the code of HHH must be included, and thus you have
    only a single HHH that you can talk about, the one whose code you
    provided with DD. And the fact that that code includes the abort is the
    whole reason that DD halts.

    You are just showing you dont know the meaning of the words, and are
    either so totally disabled that you can't learn them, or so immoral that
    you refuse to because you know the definitions would make you wrong.

    It has ALWAYS been 100% TOTALLY NUTS to not reject
    an input that does the opposite of whatever its
    decider reports.

    Proof theoretic semantics provides the complete
    foundational basis for this rejection to be
    accomplished algorithmically.


    right but that machine DD _does_ halt...


    Sew UR nuts.

    Unless UR nuts (or so indoctrinated to drink the
    Kool-Aid of the conventional view that you can't
    think clearly) you would realize that *NOT REJECTING*
    an input that does the opposite of whatever value
    its decider returns *HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY NUTS*

    Proof Theoretic Semantics inherently does this for
    every aspect of any input that does not have a
    finite back-chained sequence of inference steps
    to valid closure.

    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number
    of steps. With PTS these inference steps are
    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed
    to be considered.


    i don't need to insult you to point out the fact DD is a valid
    machine that halts when executed,

    why do u think u need to insult me back when i point that out?


    You keep changing the subject away from the
    fact that DD has always been a bad input to
    any halt decider.

    i thought we agreed an HHH1 which is not named in DD could
    correctly decide on it...

    same is true in physical too,

    but u keep repeating on and on about bad input instead of explaining

    I don't allocate equal weight to falsehoods.
    The HP counter-example input has always been
    bad and the only reason this is not universally
    understood is that sheeple herd together in
    the conventional views.

    no, turing's diagonal counter-example, the _original_ problem, is not a trivial program that produces no output.

    it actually performs a computation and deciding on that computation is
    an issue.


    Any input that does the opposite of whatever value its
    decider returns should have been rejected as bad input
    is dead obvious.

    I am not sure how far back PTS has generically
    rejected every expression that specifies cycles
    in the directed graph of inference steps it may
    be as far back as 1930.

    The key relevant thing is that ALL PTS experts
    now universally agree that such expressions
    lack any semantic meaning because all PTS
    experts universally agree that ALL semantic
    meaning ONLY comes from finite sequences of
    inference steps.

    Unless the other paragraphs below are over-your-head
    they provide the crucial foundational basis for how I
    have been correct all along:

    In analytic philosophy, anti-realism is the position
    that the truth of a statement rests on its demonstrability
    through internal logic mechanisms...
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-realism

    All that "anti-realism" is really saying is that truth
    is computable even though the compositional meaning of
    "anti-realism" says something like a psychotic break
    from reality.

    Unless UR nuts (or so indoctrinated to drink the
    Kool-Aid of the conventional view that you can't
    think clearly) you would realize that *NOT REJECTING*
    an input that does the opposite of whatever value
    its decider returns *HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY NUTS*

    Proof Theoretic Semantics inherently does this for
    every aspect of any input that does not have a
    finite back-chained sequence of inference steps
    to valid closure.

    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number
    of steps. With PTS these inference steps are
    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed
    to be considered.

    I don't allocate equal weight to falsehoods.
    The HP counter-example input has always been
    bad and the only reason this is not universally
    understood is that sheeple herd together in
    the conventional views.

    no, turing's diagonal counter-example, the _original_ problem, is
    not a trivial program that produces no output.

    it actually performs a computation and deciding on that computation
    is an issue.


    Any input that does the opposite of whatever value its
    decider returns should have been rejected as bad input
    is dead obvious.

    the computation doesn't _try_ to contradict itself, it necessarily
    does it as an artifact of it's construction of applying the decider to
    all input...


    It is isomorphic to the Liar Paradox and the sheeple

    is it not "isomorhpic" to the liar's paradox, it an infinitely running computation that tests the entire enumeration of machines, and in doing
    so stumbles on trying to decide on itself as either a circular or
    circle-free machine, both of which are infinitely running results.

    the liar's paradox does no such thing even remotely

    the circle-free paradox is not an intentional construction to deceive a decider ... it just is a result of trying to universally apply a
    true/false circle-free decider to all machines, causing the decider to
    fail on deciding itself.

    of humanity never figured that out because the would
    rather herd together than know the truth.


    I am not sure how far back PTS has generically
    rejected every expression that specifies cycles
    in the directed graph of inference steps it may
    be as far back as 1930.

    The key relevant thing is that ALL PTS experts
    now universally agree that such expressions
    lack any semantic meaning because all PTS
    experts universally agree that ALL semantic
    meaning ONLY comes from finite sequences of
    inference steps.

    what the difference between a "finite sequence of inference steps" and
    a computation???


    What is wrong with a payroll system that gets
    stuck in an infinite loop so that no one ever
    gets paid? (same thing)

    Unless the other paragraphs below are over-your-head
    they provide the crucial foundational basis for how I
    have been correct all along:

    In analytic philosophy, anti-realism is the position
    that the truth of a statement rests on its demonstrability
    through internal logic mechanisms... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-realism

    All that "anti-realism" is really saying is that truth
    is computable even though the compositional meaning of
    "anti-realism" says something like a psychotic break
    from reality.


    This article was written by the guy that coined
    the term "proof theoretic semantics"

    1.2 Inferentialism, intuitionism, anti-realism
    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,
    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs.

    It thus belongs to inferentialism (a term coined by
    Brandom, see his 1994; 2000) according to which
    inferences and the rules of inference establish the
    meaning of expressions...

    Are claiming that all of the textbooks about the
    halting problem are a complete misrepresentation this: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf

    My process is to start with the succinct essence of
    enormously difficult analytical problems and then
    spend decades boiling them down to their barest
    possible essence.

    This is the succinct essence that I started with. https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    The barest possible essence is that a proof theoretic
    halt prover H rejects the HP counter-example input
    D as meaningless. In PTS meaning is only acquired
    through a finite sequence of inference steps. Infinite
    sequences are rejected as ungrounded.

    The above uses exactly standard PTS terminology
    to the best of my current ability.

        If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its

    Right, but the *CORRECT* simulation of D will halt, since the H that it
    uses happens to stop simulating it, thus H can not correctly determine
    that D will not halt unless its correct simulatin is halted.

    Your logic is based on assuming false premises are true.


        H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
        specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
    </MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>



    And, since the criteria was not meet, but H aborted anyway, it makes an
    error.

    Your problem is you are confusing the requirements of H with the actual implementation of H. You assume that your H does what it was supposed
    to, but it doesn't (because it CAN'T, as that result is uncomputable)

    "Which H" we are talking about as far as the behavior of D was fixed
    when you built D. That H has a fixed behavior, which is clearly to abort
    and return 0.

    When you talk about "an H" deciding on it, and it doing a correct
    simulation doesn't change what "H" "D" was built on. The deciding H can
    be a different machine, with different behavior, and that could simulate
    the input to the final state, and thus it can not conclude that it can't
    do that. The issue then is you no longer have the equivalence of the
    deciding H from the H that D was built on, as your logic assumes you can change the input and it still be the same input.

    All you have done is proven that the H that D was built on was jus
    INCORRECT to do what it did and abort its simulation.

    Your logic is built on your LIES that the PROGRAM D that H is given can somehow determine what H is deciding on it and change. That Make D
    actually not a program, and your setup is a lie.

    You then equivocate and talk about an infinte set of H/D as if they are
    the one H/D that is given, thus showing you are just lying and
    effectively claiming that 1 is the same as infinity. In actuallity,
    every one of those H are wrong about their D (which are all diffferent
    Ds based on the different Hs) and thus your claim that "H" is correct is
    just an infinite number of LIES.

    Sorry, all you are doing is proving that you don't know how to do logic,
    that you don't know what you are talking about, but are just a
    pathological liar that doesn't care how stupid you are.

    _complete_ misrepresentation??? no that would be a false dichotomy. it's
    a simpler form of the problem, perhaps even the simplest.

    but i do recommend carefully reading p247 and reconstructing his problem definition in whatever psuedo-code u choose to understand exactly the
    what he demonstrated.

    i don't think u will polcott, but i'm truly recommending it and then
    trying to apply your logical resolution to it directly.

    The first incompleteness theorem sentence
    has a cycle in the directed graph of its

    incoherent.

    This kind of semantically incoherence is
    foundational in proof theoretic semantics.

    Nice to see that you don't disagree.

    Gödel's G is merely semantically incoherent when
    examined within the foundation of Proof Theoretic
    Semantics.

    As a sentence of natural number arithmetic it only needs be meaningful
    in the sempantics of natural number arithmetic.

    A cycle is detected in the directed graphs of its
    evaluation sequence proving that it does not represent
    a well-founded justification tree.

    From the syntax rules of the first order logic follows that there are
    no cycles in any sentence in the language of the first order Peano
    arithmetic, which is the language of Gödel's sentence. Therefore there
    is no cycle in Gödel's sentence.
