Every C programmer that knows what an x86 emulator is knows that when H0
emulates the machine language of Infinite_Loop, Infinite_Recursion, and

normally.

The H0 case is very different. For H0 there is indeed a false assumption, as you mentioned. Here H0 needs to simulate itself, but the simulation is never able to reach the final state of the simulated self. The abort is always one cycle too early, so that the simulating H0 misses the abort. Therefore this results in a false negative.
(Note that H0 should process its input, which includes the H0 that aborts, not a non-input with an H that does not abort.)

This results in a impossible dilemma for the programmer. It he creates a H that does not abort, it will not terminate.

When every input that must be aborted is construed as non-halting
then the input to H0(DDD) is correctly construed as non-halting.

In other words, if you allow yourself to LIE, you can claim the wrong answer is right.

Since your "Needing to abort" is NOT the same as halting, all you are doing is admitting that your whole logic system is based on the principle that LIES ARE OK.

You are simply too ignorant to understand this.

Again, how can you claim a "Correct Simulation" by the exact definition of the x86 instruction set, when you omit the call H instruction, and then "jump" to an addres that was never jumped to at any point later in the program.

 That is just a lying Dodge.
I have always only wanted what the actual truth really is.

Your systematic error of bias has prevented you from paying
enough attention to see this true, or maybe you simply are
not bright enough, or some of both.

An ad-hominen that tries to avoid showing that you have nothing by claiming the other couldn't understand it.
 

I calls em as I see em.

The problem, as you have demonstrated, is that youj actually don't even know the BASICS of the field, so clearly can't have grasps of things above all others.
 

It is not at all that I don't know these things.
It is that I professor Hehner and professor Stoddart
pay enough attention to see that there is something
wrong with the halting problem. Professor Hehner said
that I could quote him as agreeing to those exact same
words as they apply to himself.

No that is not it. I have known the truth for two
decades and am just now expressing it in words.

 Nope, you have lied to yourself about it for two decades, but can't actually show it other, because it isn't true.
 

If it was merely me lying to myself then there would not be
two PhD computer science professors that agree with me that
there is something wrong with the halting problem.

If you had a fundamental flaw that actually broke the system, you could just show it.
 

I and two PhD computer science professors did show yet you are
so convinced that they are wrong that you refuse to pay attention.

>
If the halting problem is correct then truth itself
is broken. Since truth itself cannot be broken then
the halting problem cannot be correct.

 No, truth as YOU think of it is broken, because your idea of Truth is just wrong.
 

Actually you are the one person in the world that understands
that it is correct.
We can verify that expressions of language that are {true on the
basis of their meaning} are true on the basis of a sequence of
truth preserving operations from their meaning to this expression.

It isn't that everyone else is wrong, it is YOU are wrong, but are too bulheaded to accept it.
 

Everyone else is beguiled by the dogma and actively denigrates
those that know the truth to the extent of ruining their careers.

 Which, as we just showed, you don't understand.
 

Actually you understand it better than most experts in the field.
The clueless ones believe that this sentence is a truth without
a truthmaker: "This sentence has no truthmaker."

Yes, your problem is YOU, and your refusal to actually look at what is being shown to you.
 

I am merely rejecting incorrect dogma. It is like you keep
explaining to me that 2 + 3 does not equal 5, everyone
"knows" that it equals 17.3.

You are worse than the election deniers that you put down.
 

Yet I have two PhD computer science professors that agree with me.

 Nope, since it is a truth, it isn't a lie.
 

Presuming yourself to be infallible may be blaspheming
the Holy Spirit. I never made the mistake of presuming
myself to be infallible.

Truth seems to be something beyound your understanding since you have lied to yourself so long.
 

Two PhD computer science professors agree with me.

>
That you have a religious conviction that I am incorrect

 It isn't a "religious" conviction, but a knowledge of how logic actually works.
 

Logic is not the measure of truth. Classical and Symbolic
logic has flaws. Truth preserving operations from expressions
stipulated to be true corrects all of the errors of logic.

>
Perhaps you are too ignorant to understand that bias

 Nope. YOU are just stuck in YOUR bias, as proven by your clearly wrong assertions.
 

You did not indicate that you have any idea what bias it.

If you don't see how claiming that an answer that is wrong by definition is right is illogical, you are just beyound hope.
 

When definitions derive incoherence that we know that
they are incorrect.
