You insistence that a non-terminating input be simulated until
non-existent completion is especially nuts because you have
been told about this dozens of times.
What the F is wrong with you?

It seems you don't understand those words.
I don't say that the decider needs to simulate the input to
completion, but that it needs to be able to actually PROVE that
if this exact input WAS given to a correct simultor (which
won't be itself, since it isn't doing the complete simulation)
will run for an unbounded number of steps.

No decider is ever allowed to report on anything besides the

Ah, but your HHH does report on a *hypothetical* input that wouldn't
call the aborting simulator HHH, but instead a *different* (possibly
similar) simulator that would *not* abort.

And HHH does not do that. The input specifies a halting program,
because it includes the abort code. But HHH gives up before it
reaches that part of the specification and the final halt state.

You have sufficiently proven that you are dishonest or
incompetent.

https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c That you
are too F-ing stupid to see this is less than no rebuttal at all.

No, that code proves that HHH, as defined, always aborts its

That is counter-factual and you would know this if you had good C++
skills.

It is YOU that is just counter-factual.

That is a false statement. If you understood the code you would know
your error.

Really, so how does that code NOT aboft its simulation of DDD?

You have a reading comprehension problem.
When critique words you are strictly not allowed to change even a single
word without being dishonest.
"No, that code proves that HHH as defined

If you can't figure how how that is false we have conclusively proved
your lack of sufficient technical competence.

Wow. Can't you just answer the question? Also, "we" and "proved"? Not
being understood isn't very convincing. So how does HHH not abort?

 This is one of PO's practiced tactics - he makes a claim, and regardless of how patently false that claim appears, he refuses to logically defend the claim beyond saying "the claim is true, and if you understood xxx you would realise it is true".
 

All of my claims are easily verified facts to those
with the capacity to verify them.
void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}
_DDD()
[00002192] 55             push ebp

I am utterly shocked that you can't understand
that DDD emulated by HHH according to the semantics
of the x86 language cannot possibly reach past
it own machine address [0000219a].
To me that is like an auto mechanic that has no
idea what a spark plug is or an MD that has no
idea what an infection is.
Several of my reviewers simply "don't believe"
that HHH does simulate itself simulating DDD
even after I conclusively prove it by this
full execution trace.
