A stipulative definition is a type of definition in which a new or
currently existing term is given a new specific meaning for the
purposes of argument or discussion in a given context. *Disagreeing
with a stipulative definition is incorrect*
The Wikipedia page does not say that. It only says that a stipulative
definition itself cannot be correct.
If X cannot be incorrect then disagreeing that X is correct is
incorrect.
Stipulative definitions can also not be correct. Correctness is simply
out of scope. It can be rejected though. Is your best defense really
"it has no truth value"?
It is the same as verifying that a conclusion logically follows form its
premises when hypothesizing that the premises are true.
What is the same?

The article also says that the scope of a stipulative definition is
restricted to an argument or discussion in given context.
Once a stipulated definition is provided by its author it continues to
apply to every use of this term when properly qualified.
A *non_terminating_C_function* is C a function that cannot possibly
reach its own "return" instruction (final state) thus never
terminates.
And not a function that can't be simulated by HHH.
???
Meaning, DDD is terminating function, because it reaches its return,
even though HHH can't simulate the call to itself (because a simulator
terminates only when its input does, so it can't halt simulating itself).

In other words you insist on failing to understand
that the behavior of DDD after HHH aborts its emulation
is different than the behavior that requires HHH to
abort its emulation.
A *correct_x86_emulation* of non-terminating inputs includes at least
N steps of *correct_x86_emulation*.
This qualifies only as a partial simulation. A correct simulation may
not terminate.
A full emulation of a non-terminating input is logically impossible. Do
you not know this?
Of course. The simulation does not terminate.

BECAUSE DDD calld HHH in recursive emulation?
DDD *correctly_emulated_by* HHH refers to a *correct_x86_emulation*.
This also adds that HHH is emulating itself emulating DDD at least
once.
When HHH is an x86 emulation based termination analyzer then each DDD
*correctly_emulated_by* any HHH that it calls never returns.
And HHH is not a decider.
Where in my stipulated definitions did I ever refer to a decider?
What else interesting is there about this?
>
Termination analyzer is the term that I have been
using for many months.
And using incorrectly.
Each of the directly executed HHH emulator/analyzers that returns 0
correctly reports the above *non_terminating _behavior* of its input.
When evaluating the external truth of my stipulated definition
premises and thus the soundness of my reasoning
Aha! Your premises *can* be false.
Vert unlikely because they do conform to software engineering and
termination analysis standard definitions.
Just noting that your past dozen or so posts were useless and wrong.

It seems dishonest of you yo refer to what I said in the past
as the basis of your rebuttal to what I am saying now. At the
very best it is the systematic error of bias.
one cannot change the subject away from the termination analysis of C
functions to the halt deciders of the theory of computation this too
is the strawman deception.
Not happening. You are the one claiming to have implemented a halting
decider. Your work is related more to the HP than to the termination
analysis of general functions.
At least everyone will know that you are using the strawman deception in
your rebuttal.
What even IS your claim at this point?

void DDD()

HHH(DDD);

When HHH is an x86 emulation based termination analyzer then
each DDD *correctly_emulated_by* any HHH that it calls never returns.
Each of the directly executed HHH emulator/analyzers that returns
0 correctly reports the above *non_terminating _behavior* of its input.
