One should not that "D simulated by H" is not the same as
"simulation of D by H". The message below seems to be more
about the latter than the former. In any case, it is more
about the properties of H than about the properties of D.

Several people agreed that D simulated by H cannot possibly
reach past its own line 03 no matter what H does.

Nope, it is only that if H fails to be a decider.

That fact that as far as we can tell, your "logic" is based on you making up things and trying to form justifications for them, just makes people unwilling to attempt to "accept" your wild ideas to see what might make sense.

 So? Since formal logic isn't based on Linguistics, it doesn't directly impact it. IT might limit the forms we

Computable functions are the formalized analogue of the intuitive notion
of algorithms, in the sense that a function is computable if there
exists an algorithm that can do the job of the function, i.e. given an
input of the function domain it can return the corresponding output. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_function

 But you seem to miss that Halting isn't a "Computable Function", as Turing Proved.
 

Even the term "halting" is problematic.
For 15 years I thought it means stops running for any reason.
Now I know that it means reaches the final state. Half the
people here may not know that.
What Turing proved or did not prove requires carefully
examining every tiny step and not simply leaping to the
conclusion that Turing was right therefore I am wrong.

You claim you want to work in a manner to save time, but then seem to explicitly go on a tack that will force you to waste time by needing to return to your prior points when you change the definition and prove them again.

 So, why do you insist that people must do it YOUR way.
 

I insist that people go over every single detail of my reasoning
instead of saying "no matter what you say Turing was right therefore
you are wrong".

That is the OPPOSITE of "Honest Dialog"

 Nope, perhaps you learned that you can get sidetracked, but it is not the only way.
 I think your biggest problem that keeps you from getting to where you want to get to is not knowing anything about the fields you try to talk about.
 

We can go around and around about this until one of us gets
bored, yet I absolutely will not progress to any other points
until we have mutual agreement on the current point:

aborts its simulation or not.

  And, until you actually DEFINE the terms I have asked about, we can go no farther. I can not "agree" to something that has poorly defined words in it.

The above is 100% complete with no other terminology needed.

 For instance, how can "whether or not H aborts its simulation" have any meaning for what you have defined H to be, since H is a single program, and that will always do what it is programmed to do.
 

The above is clearly not any single program.
The above is a C version of the Linz template.
That you twist the meaning of what I say has no actual
effect on what I actually said.
