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

https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c That you

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?

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
     always aborts its simulation of DDD"
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?

I made a statement that another word-for-word statement
is false. Richard changes the words and then asks how
this changed statement is false.
*DON'T F-ING CHANGE THE WORDS*
It is far too easy for mindless idiots to baselessly
claim that I am wrong. That it why I am forcing
Richard to find his own mistake.
If I were to simply tell him the answer he could
simply baselessly deny it. When I make him figure
the answer out for himself then he either uses
actual reasoning or his question is never answered.

Also, "we" and "proved"? Not
being understood isn't very convincing. So how does HHH not abort?
 

If you could understand the code you would know
that my claims are proven.
https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
That you cannot understand that code is less than no
rebuttal at all.
