    What do you think that this means: PA ⊢ x ?

    The exact meaning depends on the context and the meanings of the
    types of the left and right side expressions. The usual
    metalogical meaning
    is that x is a theorem of some variant of PA. If something else is >>>>>> meant that should be specified in the opus where the expression is >>>>>> used

    Yes that is correct. What does that mean?

    It means that the author must define the symbols in the opus they are
    used.

    Is this your best answer or are you trying to be evasive?

    Whether another answer would be better is a matter of taste, at least
    to some extent.

    PA ⊢ x
    The correct answer is
    A back-chained inference from x to the axioms of PA exists

    As I already said, the usual meaning is that the inferences must
    syntactically valid as required by the rules of PA.

    yes/no decision required by the classic halting problem, but no one
    doubts that other classifications can be made.
    I remain curious, though, why you won't answer the question.

    consider und():

    Looks like you still won't answer the question.  I think it's because

    i answered the question why. it doesn't sit right with me that we can
    fully analyze the hypothetical machines that are the supposed proof that such analysis is not totally possible

    Maybe because you don't actually understand the logic.


    this "problem" is a merely a reflection of a bad specification/interface that doesn't handle all possible input situations, not a proof against general analysis and how that might *actually* manifest with self- referential computing (like TMs). clearly it's not a simple true/false interface, but u haven't proven other interfaces impossible...

    So, what "input" can't be sepecified?

    Perhaps your problem is you don't actually understand the problem.

    And the proof *IS* a general analysis.

    Given *ANY* actual effective algorithm claimed to solve problem, we show
    we can develope an actual input that has an actual answer that the
    algorithm will get wrong (or be non-responsive to)


    it is also only a limitation that applies to turing machines (and
    equivalent paradigms), due to their ability to generate such self- references,

    But there isn't a "self-reference" in the machine, just a functionally equivalent copy, an operation inherent in the definition of an algorithm.


    it doesn't even necessarily apply to our own analytical capabilities ... because u haven't actually proven that the ct-thesis true, which is what would be necessary to prove that TMs are actually capable of all types
    of computations

    The problem is that our "analytical capabilities" aren't actually
    "analytical" by the definitions, as we appear to have "free-will" and
    are not deterministic, as required.

    The version of "computation" being discussed by CT is a deterministic
    version, where every input creates a single answer, and always creates
    that specific answer.


    if an aging lame duck academic doesn't want to heed my words in the slightest, that's fine. how many lame ducks i will need to sift thru
    until i find one that still has half a brain still functioning,

    *i do not know*

    Your problem is you don't actually know what you are talking about, and
    thus show that it is YOU that doesn't have the "half a brain", as you
    keep on admitting you don't actually know how to define what you are doing.


    you know you would have to say that, having finally studies a
    well-written proof you have had to conclude that it's conclusion does
    follow logically from its premises.

    und = () -> if (halts(und)) loop()

    it doesn't sit right me to claim we cannot algorithmically determine
    what
    this does, when we clearly know that if halts(und)->TRUE then und()
    loops
    forever, but if halts(und)->FALSE then und() halts.

    We may well be able to make that determination.  And there will very
    likely be algorithms that can analyse the code you show and the code in
    "halts" to determine what that fragment does.  Why do you think anyone
    disagrees with this possibility?

    like ur using that argument to then claim we cannot algorithmically
    determine what this does ... *right after doing that very type of
    algorithmic analysis on both possible execution paths*

    I am not using that argument.  This is why I keep asking (and you keep
    dodging) the key question: what proof or proofs of this theorem have you
    studied?  None of that say that one can not determine, algorithmically,
    the behaviour of any code fragment.  They state that no /one/ Turing
    machine can correct classify that haling or otherwise of /every/ Turing
    machine.

    how do we even do that if such analysis is not possible?

    Your premise is wrong.  Such analysis /is/ possible.  No one is saying
    that it is not.

    except no one's doing it at any meaningful scale. that real world result
    of our collective actions speak *infinitely* louder than the words of
    some lame duck academic sticking his fingers in his eyeballs,

    /so explain to me why that happened eh???/

    and if u try to claim there's some economic unfeasability in doing so,
    i'm going to respond: that's some economic brainrot for the ages...

    No, you are just ignorant of what is being done, because you won't
    actually look at the works.


    cause we've been chronically over-engineering our entire computing infrastructure to the tune of 3+ orders of magnitude in over-complexity
    just within single orgs. considering across all of society add a couple
    more orders of magnitude for the mindbogglingly stupid over-redundancy,

    Gee, and before you were complaining that people weren't putting in the effort, and adding complexity to the job, to prove correctness.


    our software production system is a complete and total bastardization of
    the word "efficiency", and the has happened directly because *we have no theoretically robust way to prove semantic correctness about our programs*.

    Because it doesn't exist, in the general case.


    like why would we waste our time developing tons of redundant paradigms
    if we could just prove optimally correct ones??? ... except we think we can't, cause the theory says we can't, and here we are

    because correctness is very complicated to prove.

    Finding your unicorns will be even more futile.


    u can dance around the fucking terms all you want, but the *actual*
    results of the theory you are promulgating are plain as day to anyone
    with a half functioning brain

    (which isn't very many tbh)
    ; You really need to go study this subject because all this is
    well-covered in good textbooks and you could then come back and answer
    my question!  I think your answer would be the yes, you do accept that
    the theorem follows from its premises.

    the general
    algo exists and can be formed into a variety of other interfaces that >>>>> specify how to /undecidable input/ ought to be handled
    Provided you don't claim to be able to detect, algorithmically, all
    those infinity of inputs that encode machines that behave like the
    examples you have called (incorrectly) "undecidable inputs" then of
    course you are right.

    (calling me "incorrect" about a label i came up with for a relationship
    that has yet to truly be studied at depth, is just hubris 🤷)

    Sure.  But the key fact is whether I am wrong or not.  I won't explain

    it's a fucking label bro, for a relationship that does not yet have a
    label. how could anyone be "right" or "wrong" about that???

    And it is a relationship you can't even actually define, so of course it
    can't have a lable.



    again why I am right because you need to use this misleading phrase to
    achieve your rhetorical goals.

    i already demonstrated what an /undecidable input/ is, and anyone with
    half a brain can understand the assessment: it is a particular input
    that cannot be classified by some classifier due it doing a self- referential query to defy the result

    No, you havn't, and that is the problem. You "definition" is unusable as
    you can't actually determine the factors that go into it.


    u can be butthurt about the term all u want, but there's nothing
    misleading, as that simple paradox is the *bedrock* foundation of undecidability within computing, right back to turing's orignal paper /
    on computable numbers/

    and if u can't admit that's true, then we're done here

    That is YOUR problem. You refuse to admit you can't actually "define"
    what you are talking about, but (just like Peter) can only present
    simple examples.

    Your definitions are based on categorically undefinable terms, that you
    need to have defined.



    Every year this would come up in class.  Just classify the "tricky
    inputs" as something else and you are home and dry!  I leave it as an >>>> exercise to other readers to see why this is (a) impossible and (b)
    pointless.

    there are two methods of exploration i've been pursuing, that none of ur >>> students have ever suggested:

    How can you possibly know?  Hubris?

    A) filtering the paradoxical machines using partial recognizers, to
    produce
    a turing complete subset of machines that is totally decidable

    Every year.  They don't all misuse the term "totally decidable" but when

    lol, none of them came up with strict definition of a partial recognizer based on merging /undecidable input/ with negative classification

    they do they usually readily agree not to misuse standard term when
    explaining how they think the problems can be "got round".

    for every paradoxical machines u can craft: there is a non-paradoxical
    machine that computes the same function. if can one can detect that a
    paradox exists within a machine for a particular classifier (like a
    functional eq classifier), then we can safely ignore the machine as
    redundant, adding any that don't into a totally decidable yet turing
    complete subset of machines

    So much misuse of technical terms.  I agree that my students would not
    abuse language like this but the basic ideas come up all the time.

    don't care about ur comments on language bro. i've had it with lame duck academics, u've fucked this up long enough i do in fact feel entitled to just ignore ur complaints on specific language. and my god, skip the
    lecture on why we need consistent/precise language. i don't agree u've earned the right to lecture about that given how much a shithow real
    world computing has become


    But it gets dealt with in tutorials which makes the back and forth very
    quick.  And my students would /never/ avoid a direct question so I could
    probe their understanding my asking questions.  Do you think you can
    detect all the functionally equivalent inputs?  What do you mean by a

    sorry, we need a functional *not-eq* classifier, and we don't need an unimplementable classic decider form. a partial recognizer is good
    enough to weed out both functions we've seen *and* /undecidable input/

    we can just ignore any failures to classify because there will be functionally equivalent machines that will classify properly at some point

    "turing complete subset of machines"? and so on.  It's slow on Usenet

    turing complete subset:

    one that computes all computable input->output mappings (with output
    either halting with some value, or never returning)

    but that ignores the difference between machines that compute infinite sequences

    so we can further expand that for the output of non-terminating machines
    by saying all computable mappings from input to output sequences in F
    cells, regardless of whether they then halt or not

    u do know what an F vs E cell is, correct?

    tell me, how many of ur students bothered to make that specific of a clarification for their definition of turing complete...

    and impossible when you won't answer or when you do but misuse technical
    terms.

    no, it's a good thing this isn't in person. you would just overwhelm me
    with an onslaught of extremely self-assured ignorance that i have no meaningful capability to unpack in the kind of attention span anyone has
    for a real time conversation...

    the slowness here is not only in my favor, but 100% required for me to
    do what i'm trying to do

    this isn't tv/movie reality innovation/progression

    this is the 21st century overpopulated hyper-capitalist madhouse form

    #god


    despite what you may think: you can't produce an /undecidable input/
    to a
    paradox decider ... any attempt to do so would still be /undecidable
    input/

    Despite what you state, I rely on proofs and I've seen nothing coming
    close to a proof of any of claims.

    i thot u said u "get this every year" u lying twat??? or did u respond without reading first???


    B) extending TMs with reflection (which i haven't defined to you
    yet), in
    order to morph the problem of 'undecidable input' to one of lying about
    context

    Yes, many people think that something magic happens when TMs can be
    reflexive.  Then they try to define the model and it turns out to be

    what do u think i mean by "reflection"/"reflexive"?

    nothing new.  Of course, you may be the first...  But I have my doubts.

    it turned the halting problem in literally a lying problem


    By the way, this is all from the days when I presented the usual proof
    sketch based on contradiction.  For a room full of programmers, this was
    not a good strategy.  Many were so convinced that something so simple to
    specify /must/ be implementable that it became a real hurdle to
    overcome.  I switched, after a while, to presenting a direct proof
    instead.  How you seen one?

    yes the annoying one:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem#Sketch_of_rigorous_proof

    it's just more indirect, it's not more "rigorous". it says the same
    thing except more indirectly. it doesn't matter if u create the self- reference thru a (A) direct instance, (B) passing it in as input, (C) a search of the total machine enumeration, or (D) some generalization of
    A, B, and/or C like the "direct" proof ...

    *it's all the same damn paradox*

    most others are going to impressed by u saying the same thing with a
    higher word count

    /not me/


    that assumption is was first made (afaik) on turing's first paper on >>>>> computable numbers, and i'm questioning it
    No, that assumption in not made in any proof of the halting
    theorem.  No
    one assumes that other "general algos for decision making" don't exist. >>>> The theorems assume some basic axioms about sets, define a halting
    decider TM and then show that no TM behaves like such a thing.  It
    sounds more like to reject the definition of a halting decider rather
    than any assumptions the proofs make.

    great, that's nice

    It's usually more helpful to say if you agree or disagree with something.
    I don't really need to know if you think it's nice or not.

    i'm somewhere in the between 🤷

    let me put in this way: given a certain framing computability theory is correct

    but i'm pursuing other frames that we might be able to utilize instead
    of the one that has left us so philosophically gimped in practice


    while everyone else treats it like this means a general aglo doesn't
    exist. heck even wikipedia phrases it like that:

    /The halting problem is undecidable, meaning that no general algorithm
    exists that solves the halting problem for all possible program–input
    pairs/

    I'm not at all sure what your point is.  But since you have not studied

    then why comment further?

    any proper proofs of the theorem you are not in a position to say what

    origin fallacy

    assumptions they make.  Wikipedia is reporting an imprecise statement of
    the conclusion from which you would be daft to conclude that any proof
    assumes that (as you claimed) "general algos for decision making" don't
    exist.

    we do not, in practice, generally prove our programs semantically
    correct. dance around words all u want, the actions we took because of
    them are *what actually matter*


    it's never been proven, u just keep assuming the equivocation in
    conversation and are unable to talk without it's assumption
    What is the "it" that has never been proven?  Assumptions are
    assumed, not proven, but the assumption you gave: "the assumption that >>>> disproving the classic decider interface implies the non-existence of
    general algos for decision making" is never made in any proof.

    it's only the general philosophy that's blossomed from those proofs
    and if
    ur gunna try to wash ur hands of that shit just cause it wasn't phrased
    that way specifically in a proof, then i'm just gunna call u a turd
    shirking responsibility

    Ah.  I see you know you are wrong on this point.  Hence the waffle.  No >> proof assumes what you claimed, and you know you can't show otherwise.
    Please go ahead and be rude.  It will make ignoring you more enticing.

    my rudeness is just a reflection of the mind-numbingly ungodly bastardization of computing that been globally deployed by following
    thru on the theory lame duck academics like you preached in schools for almost a century now...

    but if u have any heart left in you,

    u won't actually have the will to hide from ur sins 🙏🐤

    Then you admit you can't do what you call a "full enumeration", as >>>>>> there ARE an "infinite" number of possible machines, the

    i'm not even sure what ur arguing with ur brainrot here

    YOU said that a "full enumeration" must "hit all machines" in a
    "finite even if unbounded time".

    sorry that should be *any* given machine within a finite if unbounded
    time?

    And, that isn't normally the way to define a "full enumberation",
    because it can lead to wrong conclusions.

    bro the diagonal proofs for the halting theorem depend on this fact as
    well, there's nothing controversial about my claim there

    Right, which shows that something isn't there, not that all are.

    The problem is you actually NEED to prove that you algorithm WILL reach
    all, not that for any there is an algorithm that reaches it.



    The problem is that with infinite sets, the logical implications of
    ALL and ANY can be different, especially if you let some ambiguity get
    involved.

    Perhaps it would blow your mind to understand that the sum of an
    convergent (countable) infinite series can depend on the order you add
    up the terms.

    already aware of that

    Ok, then why do you not understand that you need to use effective
    enumerations in your proof? If you don't define the order the results
    can be different.

    Your proofs seem to always begin with the assumption you can create an
    order, but that order isn't actually defined. and thus you can't show
    that you actually can create that enumeration effetively and that it
    will actually reach your "ANY" machine.





    Since the number of machines is not finite, but has the value of
    Aleph-0, the countable infinity, clearly you are saying that you
    can't do what you say.

    You can't enumerate ALL the machines in finite time.

    All you are doing is showing the basic flaws in your logic of not
    understanding basics of the system and logic.



    Yes, you will reach any given machine in a finite time, but not
    ALL of them, but not ALL machines.

    This is one of the problems about trying to talk about these sorts >>>>>> of infinite sets.

    The Church-Turing thesis is clearly not the kind of thing that is
    provable. That's why it's not called a conjecture.

    I don't understand that bit. What is unprovable about the Church-Turing
    thesis? I think it hypothesises that there is no computing machine more
    powerful than a turing machine.

    There are, purely theoretical, models of computation (my preferred
    phrase) that are more powerful than Turing machines but they are not considered "effective". The thesis is about what effectively computable means and this is where the problem lies. It's not a well-defined
    concept, though almost everyone just /assumes/ it means "what TMs (and so
    on) can do".

    I think I'm beginning to see the problem. These more powerful models of computation presumably lack the "finite structure" of a turing machine -
    the finite number of states, of possible symbols on the tape, and the discreteness of the tape movements.

    Maybe analogue devices (slide rules, differential analysers, etc.) come
    into this category. Though these could not duplicate the effect of a
    turing machine, they do something altogether different.

    What would prevent a proof along the lines of supposing the existence of
    such a more powerful machine, then proving it was actually equivalent to
    some turing machine?

    Perhaps it would have been better to say that one can't imagine what
    such a proof could look like. Can you?

    No. I'm pretty confused about the whole question.

    The "more powerful" bit is easy. One would assume that the more
    powerful model can compute at least one function that is not TM
    computable.

    There are only a countable number of turing machines, but an uncountable
    number of functions. So that "at least one" would probably be an
    uncountably infinite number.

    But how would the notion that it is none-the less "effective" be
    specified?

    I think it needs to be a machine of some sort, in the sense of being a
    finite collection of rods, gears, states, tapes, whatever ... But I
    can't picture any such device which wouldn't be equivalent to a turing
    machine.

    And what form could the equivalence proof take, given that we can
    assume nothing about model other that the fact that is it more
    powerful and yet effective?

    Maybe there could be a proof that any machine worthy of the description
    would be equivalent to a turing machine. This would need to formalise
    exactly what a "machine" is. Maybe this has been done already.

    It's not something I've given much thought to so I'd be interested if
    you can go further with the notion.

    I'll see if I can come up with something more coherent after some more
    thought.

    The most comment extensions are orcale machines that are TMs with an
    extra tape containing conventionally uncomputable data, most commonly
    the tape can be accessed to determine the halting of a given TM. They
    are dreamt up simply to show that such machines also have a halting
    problem of their own but they clearly don't capture the notion of
    something being "effectively computable".

    Maybe analogue devices (slide rules, differential analysers, etc.) come

    finite collection of rods, gears, states, tapes, whatever ... But I
    can't picture any such device which wouldn't be equivalent to a turing machine.

    The proof would have to assume one exists but nothing else about it all
    other than the fact that it's computations are what we'd call effective computations. Any other assumptions about it would render the proof
    invalid. Well, it would mean that we are not proving the Church Turing
    thesis but something about the specific class of machines we have not
    dreamt up.

    And what form could the equivalence proof take, given that we can
    assume nothing about model other that the fact that is it more
    powerful and yet effective?

    Maybe there could be a proof that any machine worthy of the description
    would be equivalent to a turing machine. This would need to formalise exactly what a "machine" is. Maybe this has been done already.

    That's exactly the trouble. How do we formalise what we mean without
    either being so specific that it's just another particular model or
    being so vague that we can't make any deduction from the formalisation.

    Turing invented TMs to capture the notion of what is computable, and it
    is so compelling because it seems to capture the idea very well. Every
    one "gets it" and accepts the idea that this is what we mean by an
    algorithm. Church's model -- the lambda calculus -- does not appear to
    capture it at all. If you described it to someone bright but ignorant
    of computing they would never say "ah, yes, everything I think of as
    being a computation is clearly equivalent to some lambda form"!

    It's a lovely irony that it's the lambda calculus that has turned out to
    be useful in practice, whereas Turing machines are used only in theory
    courses.

    It's not something I've given much thought to so I'd be interested if
    you can go further with the notion.

    YOU said that a "full enumeration" must "hit all machines" in a

    And, that isn't normally the way to define a "full enumberation",

    The problem is you actually NEED to prove that you algorithm WILL reach

    that's like one of the first things turing proved in his paper,

    Perhaps it would blow your mind to understand that the sum of an

    already aware of that

    Ok, then why do you not understand that you need to use effective enumerations in your proof? If you don't define the order the results
    can be different.

    we're doing discrete analysis on each machine separately


    Your proofs seem to always begin with the assumption you can create an order, but that order isn't actually defined. and thus you can't show
    that you actually can create that enumeration effetively and that it
    will actually reach your "ANY" machine.





    Since the number of machines is not finite, but has the value of
    Aleph-0, the countable infinity, clearly you are saying that you
    can't do what you say.

    You can't enumerate ALL the machines in finite time.

    I remain curious, though, why you won't answer the question.

    consider und():
    Looks like you still won't answer the question. I think it's because

    i answered the question why.

    I didn't ask why. I asked what proofs of the theorem in question you
    have studied. An answer would be to cite them but the closest you've
    come is to a wikipedia link to a sketch.

    The second part -- do you accept that the conclusion follows logically
    from the premises -- should be answered yes or no. Had you answered no,
    we could examine what steps you reject. The result would be either
    you'd learn something or you would get a good paper out of it by
    pointing out a logical error in a published proof.

    Anyway, no answer is likely to come so that's the end of that.

    it doesn't sit right with me that we can fully
    analyze the hypothetical machines that are the supposed proof that such analysis is not totally possible

    Obviously. But since this is not what the theorem says it's just your rhetorical spin to keep the chat going.

    this "problem" is a merely a reflection of a bad specification/interface
    that doesn't handle all possible input situations, not a proof against general analysis and how that might *actually* manifest with
    self-referential computing (like TMs). clearly it's not a simple true/false interface, but u haven't proven other interfaces impossible...

    it is also only a limitation that applies to turing machines (and
    equivalent paradigms), due to their ability to generate such
    self-references,

    it doesn't even necessarily apply to our own analytical capabilities
    ... because u haven't actually proven that the ct-thesis true, which is
    what would be necessary to prove that TMs are actually capable of all types of computations

    if an aging lame duck academic doesn't want to heed my words in the slightest, that's fine. how many lame ducks i will need to sift thru until
    i find one that still has half a brain still functioning,

    I'm flattered because I know you get your validation from insulting
    people whose skill and knowledge you secretly respect, but it's all
    getting a bit thin for me.

    So what is your plan? Are you going to keep posting this stuff as long
    as someone you value replies? Are you aiming to beat Olcott's record of
    22 years posting the same nonsense? Think about that -- more than two
    decades wasted and all he has to show for it is a gazillion posts no one
    will remember.

    Every crank I've seen here always rejects the usual way forward which is
    to write up their ideas as a paper that will mean the real expects will
    see it. I wonder what your excuse will be. I suspect you will go for
    the "all the editors and reviewers are just as dumb, so what's the
    point?" excuse.

    But that does raise the question: what's the point mate?

    sorry that should be *any* given machine within a finite if
    unbounded time?

    And, that isn't normally the way to define a "full enumberation",
    because it can lead to wrong conclusions.

    bro the diagonal proofs for the halting theorem depend on this fact
    as well, there's nothing controversial about my claim there

    Right, which shows that something isn't there, not that all are.

    The problem is you actually NEED to prove that you algorithm WILL
    reach all, not that for any there is an algorithm that reaches it.

    that's like one of the first things turing proved in his paper,

    u thot u said u read it

    Right, HE proved it for his.

    YOU assume for a different enumeration that you also will.

    i could just copy past his method for an enumeration. this is not an interesting point of discussion and i won't comment further


    Just because youe arguement looks sort of like his, doesn't mean yours
    works also.

    Also, you seem to be mixing fields, as you keep on refering to the "Computable Numbers" paper, which is about a different definition of "Computation" then the "Halting Problem"

    But, that difference seems to be beyond you.





    The problem is that with infinite sets, the logical implications of >>>>> ALL and ANY can be different, especially if you let some ambiguity
    get involved.

    Perhaps it would blow your mind to understand that the sum of an
    convergent (countable) infinite series can depend on the order you
    add up the terms.

    already aware of that

    Ok, then why do you not understand that you need to use effective
    enumerations in your proof? If you don't define the order the results
    can be different.

    we're doing discrete analysis on each machine separately

    Then you admit that you aren't solving for AN algorithm that answers for
    ALL inputs.

    not following on what ur going on about there so i won't comment further


    Again, you don't seem to understand the nature of the problem you are arguing about, and come up with a "partial answer" that you can't show
    to be better than the existing partial answers.

    You need to more clearly DEFINE what you are trying to do, which seems
    to be beyond your understanding.



    Your proofs seem to always begin with the assumption you can create
    an order, but that order isn't actually defined. and thus you can't
    show that you actually can create that enumeration effetively and
    that it will actually reach your "ANY" machine.





    Since the number of machines is not finite, but has the value of >>>>>>> Aleph-0, the countable infinity, clearly you are saying that you >>>>>>> can't do what you say.

    You can't enumerate ALL the machines in finite time.

    All you are doing is showing the basic flaws in your logic of not >>>>>>> understanding basics of the system and logic.

    Nope, because HIS proof is that the claimed enumeration, the enumeration
    of all numbers (ordered by an enumeration of the algorithms making them) doesn't exist.

    For that sort of proof, you don't actually need to prove that it exists,
    or that the enumeration can be created effectively.

    For you to claim something about that enumeration to actually exist, you
    need a stronger proof.

    It seems you don't understand that nature of logic.



    Just because youe arguement looks sort of like his, doesn't mean yours

    Then you admit that you aren't solving for AN algorithm that answers
    for ALL inputs.

    not following on what ur going on about there so i won't comment further

    The "Halting Problem" is about a single algorithm, that can decide for
    all inputs. Not that you can find different algorithms that solve
    different inputs.

    You claim to be able to find some partial recognizer (never wrong, but
    doesn't always answer) to handle all input requires you to actually
    PROVE that fact, and that we can PROVE this machine never gives a wrong answer.

    Your proof fails to do this, because the sort of enumeration that Turing
    used, because it was only used to refute, didn't need to be "effective",
    while yours does.

    And in fact, we can prove that it can't be, because if there WAS an
    effective enumeration that will find your "magic" partial recognizer you
    claim to exist, the "pathological" machine could be built by your method
    that tests itself with all the deciders it generates, and if ANY of them
    give an answer, do the opposite,

    Since that means that decider must have been wrong, and it was presumed
    that it couldn't be, that means that no decider produced by the
    effective enumeration can ever give an answer for this machine.



    Again, you don't seem to understand the nature of the problem you are
    arguing about, and come up with a "partial answer" that you can't show
    to be better than the existing partial answers.

    Perhaps because you have no interest in your "proof" being actually

    Perhaps because it would force you to actual learn something about what

    Then stop complaining when it is pointed out that you are just wrong.

    You like to claim that you must know more than we do, since you have an
    idea we can't understand.

    I guess in your world ignorance is bliss and is a mark of intelegence.

    If you change your attitude and actually seek to LEARN the basics that
    you are currently ignorant of, you might find that you can actually
    learn something.


    another reason why academia is so damn broken these days: u mistake gate keeping ur superiority complex with helpfulness

    No, it is idiots like you that think they know something when they
    actually don't that is the problem.

    THOSE are the people that say that because Halting is proving unsolvable
    for the general case, we shouldn't try to see what we can know for this specific case.



    Perhaps because you have no interest in your "proof" being actually

    like ur using that argument to then claim we cannot algorithmically determine what this does ... *right after doing that very type of algorithmic analysis on both possible execution paths*

    how do we even do that if such analysis is not possible?


    the general
    algo exists and can be formed into a variety of other interfaces that
    specify how to /undecidable input/ ought to be handled

    Provided you don't claim to be able to detect, algorithmically, all
    those infinity of inputs that encode machines that behave like the
    examples you have called (incorrectly) "undecidable inputs" then of
    course you are right.

    (calling me "incorrect" about a label i came up with for a relationship
    that has yet to truly be studied at depth, is just hubris 🤷)


    Every year this would come up in class.  Just classify the "tricky
    inputs" as something else and you are home and dry!  I leave it as an
    exercise to other readers to see why this is (a) impossible and (b)
    pointless.

    there are two methods of exploration i've been pursuing, that none of ur students have ever suggested:

    A) filtering the paradoxical machines using partial recognizers, to
    produce a turing complete subset of machines that is totally decidable

    for every paradoxical machines u can craft: there is a non-paradoxical machine that computes the same function. if can one can detect that a paradox exists within a machine for a particular classifier (like a functional eq classifier), then we can safely ignore the machine as redundant, adding any that don't into a totally decidable yet turing complete subset of machines

    despite what you may think: you can't produce an /undecidable input/ to
    a paradox decider ... any attempt to do so would still be /undecidable input/

    B) extending TMs with reflection (which i haven't defined to you yet),
    in order to morph the problem of 'undecidable input' to one of lying
    about context


    that assumption is was first made (afaik) on turing's first paper on
    computable numbers, and i'm questioning it

    No, that assumption in not made in any proof of the halting theorem.  No
    one assumes that other "general algos for decision making" don't exist.
    The theorems assume some basic axioms about sets, define a halting
    decider TM and then show that no TM behaves like such a thing.  It
    sounds more like to reject the definition of a halting decider rather
    than any assumptions the proofs make.

    great, that's nice

    while everyone else treats it like this means a general aglo doesn't
    exist. heck even wikipedia phrases it like that:

    /The halting problem is undecidable, meaning that no general algorithm exists that solves the halting problem for all possible program–input pairs/


    it's never been proven, u just keep assuming the equivocation in
    conversation and are unable to talk without it's assumption

    What is the "it" that has never been proven?  Assumptions are
    assumed, not proven, but the assumption you gave: "the assumption that
    disproving the classic decider interface implies the non-existence of
    general algos for decision making" is never made in any proof.

    it's only the general philosophy that's blossomed from those proofs and
    if ur gunna try to wash ur hands of that shit just cause it wasn't
    phrased that way specifically in a proof, then i'm just gunna call u a
    turd shirking responsibility


    If we could just get your acceptance of at least one proof out of the

    i'm questioning the fundimentals of computing as far as turing's first
    paper on computable numbers. are turing machine's even the most correct
    model to be using? idk

    But you don't seem to have studied any of the proofs and you won't say
    if you accept any of them as logical conclusions that follow from their
    premises.  You seem determined to avoid this question.  Is it because
    you have not studied any of the proofs in detail?

    unless have a proof that is directly related to the kinds of resolutions
    i'm actively pursuing, i don't see that in my limited time atm, i'm
    avaiable to venture down random-ass red herrings that may or may not be meaningful, from someone who has yet to demonstrate any depth of
    interest in what i'm trying to express

    heck just getting the concept of /undecidable input/ across, that ur
    still acting butthurt about, was hard enough disillusion me about the capabilities of whoever the fuck i'm really talking to right now


    we've never proven the ct-thesis, i don't even believe that's true.

    The Church-Turing thesis is clearly not the kind of thing that is
    provable.  That's why it's not called a conjecture.  But if you have in
    mind a model of computation that can't be simulated by TMs but could

    there's a lot we'd have a to discuss before i could bring why i think
    that might be true ...

    pass the bar of being considered "effective" then you must stop posting
    here and publish right away.  A belief, however, is not worth much
    without a concrete model.

    [...]
    u haven't inspired any further evolution/innovation in my arguments,
    it's
    been a waste of time for me so far

    You might want to bear that in mind before clicking "reply...".

    yes/no decision required by the classic halting problem, but no one
    doubts that other classifications can be made.

    I remain curious, though, why you won't answer the question.

    consider und():

    und = () -> if (halts(und)) loop()

    it doesn't sit right me to claim we cannot algorithmically determine
    what this does, when we clearly know that if halts(und)->TRUE then
    und() loops forever, but if halts(und)->FALSE then und() halts.

    like ur using that argument to then claim we cannot algorithmically
    determine what this does ... *right after doing that very type of

    how do we even do that if such analysis is not possible?

    Provided you don't claim to be able to detect, algorithmically, all
    those infinity of inputs that encode machines that behave like the
    examples you have called (incorrectly) "undecidable inputs" then of
    course you are right.

    there are two methods of exploration i've been pursuing, that none of
    ur students have ever suggested:

    A) filtering the paradoxical machines using partial recognizers, to
    produce a turing complete subset of machines that is totally decidable

    for every paradoxical machines u can craft: there is a non-
    paradoxical machine that computes the same function. if can one can
    detect that a paradox exists within a machine for a particular
    classifier (like a functional eq classifier), then we can safely
    ignore the machine as redundant, adding any that don't into a totally

    theorem.  No
    one assumes that other "general algos for decision making" don't exist. >>>> The theorems assume some basic axioms about sets, define a halting
    decider TM and then show that no TM behaves like such a thing.  It
    sounds more like to reject the definition of a halting decider rather
    than any assumptions the proofs make.

    great, that's nice

    while everyone else treats it like this means a general aglo doesn't
    exist. heck even wikipedia phrases it like that:

    /The halting problem is undecidable, meaning that no general
    algorithm exists that solves the halting problem for all possible
    program–input pairs/


    it's never been proven, u just keep assuming the equivocation in
    conversation and are unable to talk without it's assumption

    What is the "it" that has never been proven?  Assumptions are
    assumed, not proven, but the assumption you gave: "the assumption that >>>> disproving the classic decider interface implies the non-existence of
    general algos for decision making" is never made in any proof.

    it's only the general philosophy that's blossomed from those proofs
    and if ur gunna try to wash ur hands of that shit just cause it
    wasn't phrased that way specifically in a proof, then i'm just gunna
    call u a turd shirking responsibility


    If we could just get your acceptance of at least one proof out of the >>>>>
    i'm questioning the fundimentals of computing as far as turing's first >>>>> paper on computable numbers. are turing machine's even the most
    correct
    model to be using? idk

    But you don't seem to have studied any of the proofs and you won't say >>>> if you accept any of them as logical conclusions that follow from their >>>> premises.  You seem determined to avoid this question.  Is it because >>>> you have not studied any of the proofs in detail?

    unless have a proof that is directly related to the kinds of
    resolutions i'm actively pursuing, i don't see that in my limited
    time atm, i'm avaiable to venture down random-ass red herrings that
    may or may not be meaningful, from someone who has yet to demonstrate
    any depth of interest in what i'm trying to express

    heck just getting the concept of /undecidable input/ across, that ur
    still acting butthurt about, was hard enough disillusion me about the
    capabilities of whoever the fuck i'm really talking to right now


    we've never proven the ct-thesis, i don't even believe that's true.

    The Church-Turing thesis is clearly not the kind of thing that is
    provable.  That's why it's not called a conjecture.  But if you have in >>>> mind a model of computation that can't be simulated by TMs but could

    Sure I do. You don't understand when your enumeration needs to be effective.



    Expecting people to just hand you that information means you never
    learned how to learn, and thus made your self fundamentally ignorant.




    it's just not a problem that can even effect u really

    If the problem you are trying to solve isn't the one you say you
    are, that is the Halting Problem and / or the concept of problems
    being undecidable, then I guess you are just a pathological liar.

    And yes, if that is the case, no one can help you.

    It seems your problem is you can't actually express the problem you
    see, perhaps because you just don't understand what you are talking
    about.

    ur old and will be dead in a decade or so

    it's just not a problem that can even effect u really


    So?

    Your problem is you can't actually express what the problem actually is.

    i have, u denied it with economic brainrot

    No, you can't, as your explaimation is based on made-up definitions for
    words that you can't actually define.



    The only problem so far that you have mentioned is that dumb people,
    who shouldn't really be in charge of coding anyway, make bad decisions
    because they assume they can't get some information out of looking at
    a system.

    they assume???





    the fucking academics tell them they can't, and then when u ask them
    more specifically they dance around the terms like the fucking abject retards they are

    No, they don't. I guess your problem is you listen to liars and not the academics.

    The "academics" say we can't solve the whole problem, but show how we
    can get the answer for many.

    The IDIOTS, like you, that can't tell the difference between handling
    ALL problems, vs possibly being able to handle the one in front of you,
    is the problem.

    You are stuck in the centery old error of running in circles looking for
    the golden ticket to solve everything, rather than seeing how good you
    can actually get.



    i have hadn't a singe honest conversation after spend months in this group

    ya'll are fucking decrepit as shit

    The "honesty" problem is on your end.

    You just don't know what you are talking about.



    If anything, that is a GOOD thing, get the dumb programmers away from
    the dangerous tools.

    Of course, this just shows your own problems.

    i'm sorry are you arguing good tools like semantic verification is a

    No, I mean things like compliers to generate code that goes into
    critical systems.

    well they're all spitting out AI generated slop these day, and no
    general semantic verification tools are in sight...



    like holy fuck this is LLM grade stupidity,

    what in the fuck, how in the fuck can anyone argue that correctness
    verification is to be dangerous???

    I'm not. What is dangerous is to give up on verification because it
    can't be perfect.

    what??? THAT'S WHAT WE DID...


    As the saying goes, The quest for Perfection is the enemy of the Good Enough.

    NO, IT DOESN'T

    It shows that there exists a number that isn't amoung the list of
    numbers enumerated by the list of machines.

    No "machine" ever needed to do that testing.

    In fact, he doesn't even need an "effective" enumeration of machines,
    just that an enumeration exists.

    And note, it isn't even an enumeration of all Turing Machines, but of
    all machines that compute a number, otherwise we need to deal with the possibility that a given row isn't "complete" because that machine never generates enough numbers.

    So?

    Your problem is you can't actually express what the problem

    i have, u denied it with economic brainrot


    The only problem so far that you have mentioned is that dumb
    people, who shouldn't really be in charge of coding anyway, make
    bad decisions because they assume they can't get some information
    out of looking at a system.

    they assume???

    the fucking academics tell them they can't, and then when u ask them

    i have hadn't a singe honest conversation after spend months in this
    group

    ya'll are fucking decrepit as shit


    If anything, that is a GOOD thing, get the dumb programmers away
    from the dangerous tools.

    i'm sorry are you arguing good tools like semantic verification is a
    *dangerous* tool???

    No, I mean things like compliers to generate code that goes into
    critical systems.

    well they're all spitting out AI generated slop these day, and no
    general semantic verification tools are in sight...

    And THAT is the dangerous stuff.

    It seems your arguement is that people shouldn't have such tools.




    like holy fuck this is LLM grade stupidity,

    what in the fuck, how in the fuck can anyone argue that correctness
    verification is to be dangerous???

    I'm not. What is dangerous is to give up on verification because it
    can't be perfect.

    what??? THAT'S WHAT WE DID...

    Only the stupid ones.

    I guess you are just showing that you fell for the stupid lie created by
    the stupid programmers.

    Good programmers still present a good argument on why their code should
    do what it is supposed to do during the code review.

    I guess you are so ignorant you believe that you can just skip all of
    that stuff.



    As the saying goes, The quest for Perfection is the enemy of the Good
    Enough.


    like what???


    Of course, this just shows your own problems.


    CAN I HAVE EVEN AN OUNCE OF FUCKING RATIONALITY OUT OF U DICK???


    Since it seems you don't know what I am talking about, maybe not,
    since it goes right over your head.

    Your problem is you can't actually express what the problem actually

    i have, u denied it with economic brainrot

    No, you can't, as your explaimation is based on made-up definitions
    for words that you can't actually define.



    The only problem so far that you have mentioned is that dumb people,
    who shouldn't really be in charge of coding anyway, make bad
    decisions because they assume they can't get some information out of
    looking at a system.

    they assume???


    the fucking academics tell them they can't, and then when u ask them

    No, they don't. I guess your problem is you listen to liars and not

    The "academics" say we can't solve the whole problem, but show how we

    Nope, it seems you are the stupid one putting forward that the only

    Smarter people understand the limitiations of formal proof, and reserve

    The IDIOTS, like you, that can't tell the difference between handling

    You are stuck in the centery old error of running in circles looking

    Sure I do. You don't understand when your enumeration needs to be
    effective.

    an effective enumeration of all turing machines was proven on
    turing's original paper and can be reused anywhere...

    You think you can test all of them one by one? Don't tell me you think

    yes that's what diagonal proofs do...

    NO, IT DOESN'T

    It shows that there exists a number that isn't amoung the list of
    numbers enumerated by the list of machines.

    WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ENUMERATING MACHINES U SUBJECT JUMPING TWAT

    talk about alzheimer's sheesh


    No "machine" ever needed to do that testing.

    In fact, he doesn't even need an "effective" enumeration of machines,
    just that an enumeration exists.

    i'm sorry bro ur literally a dribbling retard for trying to question the effectiveness of a total turing machine enumeration

    this isn't math anymore, it's just u randomly putting words together
    opposed to mine based on feels i can't even remotely understand

    honestly i might as well be talking to a freaking LLM programmed to be contrarian


    And note, it isn't even an enumeration of all Turing Machines, but of
    all machines that compute a number, otherwise we need to deal with the possibility that a given row isn't "complete" because that machine never generates enough numbers.

    he only simulates numbers for the diagonal that are decided by D to be "satisfactory"/circle-free, so he does enumerate over all machines
    testing each one for being "satisfactory" for inclusion on the diagonal
    or not

    write me psuedocode that accurately represents machine H as described on
    p247 of turing's paper /on computable numbers/, cause honestly u
    understand the algo he wrote. if write more than like 15 lines u've
    fucked up, it's not a complex algo

    i doubt ben does either

    god cs theorists are total fucking pussy wackjobs



    there is a largest natural number... ;^) You really need to implement
    your interface.

    No, it is TRUTH that you just can't accept, because LOGIC seems to be
    beyound your ability to comprehend.

    If there was an actual ERROR, you could point out the mistake, instead,
    you claim because the answer is unacceptable, the rules of the game must

    Nope.

    That is a world of fantasy.

    REALITY seems to insist on not being about to be 100% sure of
    everything, but some things MUST remain unknown.

    There ARE things we can be 100% sure of, and if we really need to be
    100% sure, we limit ourselves to those things, but then we greatly
    reduce what we can actually do.

    Your PREFECTION requirement means you never accept "Good Enough" to get

    And thus your world can't do anything.

    Your problem is you can't actually express what the problem

    i have, u denied it with economic brainrot

    they assume???

    the fucking academics tell them they can't, and then when u ask
    them more specifically they dance around the terms like the
    fucking abject retards they are

    i'm sorry are you arguing good tools like semantic verification is

    No, I mean things like compliers to generate code that goes into
    critical systems.

    well they're all spitting out AI generated slop these day, and no
    general semantic verification tools are in sight...

    And THAT is the dangerous stuff.

    It seems your arguement is that people shouldn't have such tools.

    AI GENERATION IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO AUTOMATED PROOFS???

    WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING???

    Of course not.

    Most AI is NOT "Proof" or even "Reasoning" based.

    Most AI is based on maximum likely Markov Chain processing.







    like holy fuck this is LLM grade stupidity,

    what in the fuck, how in the fuck can anyone argue that correctness >>>>> verification is to be dangerous???

    I'm not. What is dangerous is to give up on verification because it
    can't be perfect.

    what??? THAT'S WHAT WE DID...

    Only the stupid ones.

    I guess you are just showing that you fell for the stupid lie created
    by the stupid programmers.

    Good programmers still present a good argument on why their code
    should do what it is supposed to do during the code review.

    THAT'S NOT A COMPUTED A PROOF U MORON. ALL TOOL CHAINS SHOULD HAVE
    COMPUTED PROOFS INCLUDED AS A BASIC FUNCTIONALITY CHECK. CODE SHOULDN'T FUCKING DEADLOCK UNEXPECTED, OR EVER ACTUALLY

    In other words, tools should not exist unless they are built on
    Unicorns, thus you think tools should not exist.


    fucking equivocation fallacy holy fuck

    Nope. Your whole logic is based on the fallacy of assuming the unproven
    (and incorrect) premise.



    I guess you are so ignorant you believe that you can just skip all of
    that stuff.



    As the saying goes, The quest for Perfection is the enemy of the
    Good Enough.


    like what???


    Of course, this just shows your own problems.


    CAN I HAVE EVEN AN OUNCE OF FUCKING RATIONALITY OUT OF U DICK???


    Since it seems you don't know what I am talking about, maybe not,
    since it goes right over your head.

    Yes, that is all YOU are doing, as you don't require your statments to
    actually be based on FACTS.


    honestly i might as well be talking to a freaking LLM programmed to
    be contrarian

    At least that wouldn't be wasting smart people's time.



    And note, it isn't even an enumeration of all Turing Machines, but
    of all machines that compute a number, otherwise we need to deal
    with the possibility that a given row isn't "complete" because that
    machine never generates enough numbers.

    he only simulates numbers for the diagonal that are decided by D to
    be "satisfactory"/circle-free, so he does enumerate over all machines
    testing each one for being "satisfactory" for inclusion on the
    diagonal or not

    write me psuedocode that accurately represents machine H as described
    on p247 of turing's paper /on computable numbers/, cause honestly u
    understand the algo he wrote. if write more than like 15 lines u've
    fucked up, it's not a complex algo

    You mean the one he shows can't exist?

    Because one of the steps we just need to assume can be done, when it
    can't be.

    Note, the paper starts with a "Supposing there is a Machine D", and if
    that is true, then "We could construct H".

    Since he shows we can not have the machine D, there is no machine H to
    construct.

    So, you questions is about the anatomy of a Unicorn.

    assume D exists and write the algo for H u fucking brainrotted moron...
    he describes exactly what it does, but put it in a form of psuedo-code

    Why, are you too stupid to do it?

    Since each iteration just uses a testing by the machine D, your
    psuedo-code loop is just a reference to a operation that turns out not
    to exist.


    i really am just getting a bunch retarded kneejerk reactions from u
    eh??? not even a second of deep thot ever???

    It isn't my job to do the thinking for you.

    That is why you are so stupid, you seem to expect others to do the work
    you want to do.

    an effective enumeration of all turing machines was proven on

    You think you can test all of them one by one? Don't tell me you

    yes that's what diagonal proofs do...

    NO, IT DOESN'T

    It shows that there exists a number that isn't amoung the list of

    No, you are not, or at least your words aren't. His enumeration isn't

    fuck you and fuck your alzheimer u useless fking boomer

    No "machine" ever needed to do that testing.

    No, you are not, or at least your words aren't. His enumeration
    isn't of all machines when he build the diagonal argument, as not
    all machines produce a valid result to put on the diagonal.



    No "machine" ever needed to do that testing.

    In fact, he doesn't even need an "effective" enumeration of
    machines, just that an enumeration exists.

    i'm sorry bro ur literally a dribbling retard for trying to
    question the effectiveness of a total turing machine enumeration

    And you are a moron for confusing the effective enumeration of ALL
    machines, many of which don't meet the requirements to be put in

    he only simulates numbers for the diagonal that are decided by D
    to be "satisfactory"/circle-free, so he does enumerate over all
    machines testing each one for being "satisfactory" for inclusion
    on the diagonal or not

    write me psuedocode that accurately represents machine H as

    You mean the one he shows can't exist?

    it can't be.

    Note, the paper starts with a "Supposing there is a Machine D", and >>>>> if that is true, then "We could construct H".

    So, you questions is about the anatomy of a Unicorn.

    assume D exists and write the algo for H u fucking brainrotted

    Why, are you too stupid to do it?

    no i want to see u actually do it and demonstrate someone here can

    Since YOU don't seem to be able to do that, why should I help you.

    i already did and put it in a paper i have a record of you reading in december, why are you telling me i can't seem to do something i already
    did???

    i want to see someone else in this group do it:

    assume D exists, what is the pseudo-code for H from p247 of turing's paper


    Your problem is you don't actually understand what it says, as you think
    it is all wrong.

    YOU are the one asking for help, and then critisizing people when they
    do so.

    YOU are the one showing yourself to be just a jerk that doesn't know his

    As far as I care, you can just starve yourself and you wife clinging to

    I'm just putting enough information that anyone with a brain cell can

    The world doesn't owe you a living.

    clearly the world doesn't even owe me life, liberty, or even just a

    So, you questions is about the anatomy of a Unicorn.

    Why, are you too stupid to do it?

    no i want to see u actually do it and demonstrate someone here can

    Since YOU don't seem to be able to do that, why should I help you.

    i already did and put it in a paper i have a record of you reading in
    december, why are you telling me i can't seem to do something i
    already did???

    You mean that CRAP that assumes unicorns exist, and was based on
    category errors?

    yes, assume D exists and write the algorithm for H

    Why assume a lie?



    And, how do you know how much of it I read?

    apparently not even the 3rd page

    I stop when I hit a critical error in the logic.

    Since you break the logic of your own paper by the second paragraph,
    where you ADMIT that you aren't actually adressing the point you claim
    to be.

    And by the end of the first page, you demonstrate that you don't
    understand the basics of the field.



    In fact, the fact you asked me to look at your paper, which appears to
    be on a spammer site that keeps on asking me to "subscribe" to there
    service to see how is mentioning my name is part of the cause for some
    of my attitude.

    It seems you are nothing but a stupid scammer that is trying to get
    people to pay to hear your lies.

    Prove you have some actual intelegence by actually DOING something and
    showing you understand the meaning behind it, and not just say the
    world is wrong because it won't give me my unicorns, and the world
    with unicorns would be so much better.


    i want to see someone else in this group do it:

    Why?


    assume D exists, what is the pseudo-code for H from p247 of turing's
    paper

    But it doesn't, so why do it.

    first line of p247:

    /Let us suppose that there is such a process; that is to say, that we
    can invent a machine D/ [Tur36 p247]

    please make that assumption and write the algorithm for H

    Why?

    And the algorithm for H will DEPEND on the algorithm for D, and thus if
    D doesn't exist, neither does H.



    All you have done is proved you are too stupid to understand how logic
    works.



    Your problem is you don't actually understand what it says, as you
    think it is all wrong.

    YOU are the one asking for help, and then critisizing people when
    they do so.

    YOU are the one showing yourself to be just a jerk that doesn't know
    his ass from a hole in the ground.

    As far as I care, you can just starve yourself and you wife clinging
    to your absurd ideas and rid the world of another crackpot.

    I'm just putting enough information that anyone with a brain cell
    can see that your ideas are baseless, and that if they have
    questions, they can learn the answers from the source.

    The world doesn't owe you a living.

    clearly the world doesn't even owe me life, liberty, or even just a
    pursuit of happiness anymore




    Since each iteration just uses a testing by the machine D, your
    psuedo- code loop is just a reference to a operation that turns
    out not to exist.

    Why, are you too stupid to do it?

    no i want to see u actually do it and demonstrate someone here
    can read a fucking paper

    Since YOU don't seem to be able to do that, why should I help you.

    i already did and put it in a paper i have a record of you reading
    in december, why are you telling me i can't seem to do something i
    already did???

    You mean that CRAP that assumes unicorns exist, and was based on
    category errors?

    yes, assume D exists and write the algorithm for H

    Why assume a lie?



    And, how do you know how much of it I read?

    apparently not even the 3rd page

    I stop when I hit a critical error in the logic.

    Since you break the logic of your own paper by the second paragraph,
    where you ADMIT that you aren't actually adressing the point you claim
    to be.

    ur looking just for excuses to not think at all by this point

    No, YOU are looking for someone to validate your LIE.

    Your paper begins with a number of categorical errors, so NOTHING that
    follows can be assumed to make any sense.

    And, you show you don't understand the basc proof you are trying to debunk.

    For instance, a "paradoxical" machine doesn't even try to be paradoxical
    to two different deciders, but for your case where you talk about using
    two decider to try to beat the paradoxical format, you eventually need
    to combine those two into a single decider to give the answer.

    The "paradoxical" input will be built on THAT final decider, not the two intermediate deciders.

    Your attempts just show you don't understand the nature of what you are talking about.



    And by the end of the first page, you demonstrate that you don't
    understand the basics of the field.



    In fact, the fact you asked me to look at your paper, which appears
    to be on a spammer site that keeps on asking me to "subscribe" to
    there service to see how is mentioning my name is part of the cause
    for some of my attitude.

    It seems you are nothing but a stupid scammer that is trying to get
    people to pay to hear your lies.

    Prove you have some actual intelegence by actually DOING something
    and showing you understand the meaning behind it, and not just say
    the world is wrong because it won't give me my unicorns, and the
    world with unicorns would be so much better.


    i want to see someone else in this group do it:

    Why?


    assume D exists, what is the pseudo-code for H from p247 of
    turing's paper

    But it doesn't, so why do it.

    first line of p247:

    /Let us suppose that there is such a process; that is to say, that we
    can invent a machine D/ [Tur36 p247]

    please make that assumption and write the algorithm for H

    Why?

    And the algorithm for H will DEPEND on the algorithm for D, and thus
    if D doesn't exist, neither does H.

    cause if u can't give me a simple 10 line pseudo-code to describe the algorithm used then i'll have to assume ur incapable to understand
    either turing's proof, or the various resolutions i've proposed

    And you would be wrong as usual.

    Of course, being wrong is the one thing you seem to be good at.


    in which case idk,

    i can buy a gun and shoot myself cause i really have exhausted all my discussion options by now.

    MAYBE you can, depending on where you live, they might not consider you competent to have one in some places.



    everyone is too far ethically gone to have any compassion or consideration,

    No, YOU are the one ethically gone, thinking that fallicaous logic is
    valid, and that people "owe" you support.

    Clearly you chose to put your "papers" on a site that doesn't respect
    normal deciency, but just trying to get people to spend money for likely
    no real benifit. How much did you need to pay to put your paper there?


    and i have no desire to participate further in this unholy 🤡🌎

    Then don't.

    It is clear you can't understand the basics, and have refused to be
    taught, so the best thing to do is to give up and find something you can do.

    When you set your life on trying to reach something unreachable, and
    choose to piss of those trying to help you, you really have no value to society.

    category errors?

    yes, assume D exists and write the algorithm for H

    Why assume a lie?



    And, how do you know how much of it I read?

    apparently not even the 3rd page

    I stop when I hit a critical error in the logic.

    Since you break the logic of your own paper by the second paragraph,
    where you ADMIT that you aren't actually adressing the point you
    claim to be.

    ur looking just for excuses to not think at all by this point

    No, YOU are looking for someone to validate your LIE.

    Your paper begins with a number of categorical errors, so NOTHING that
    follows can be assumed to make any sense.

    And, you show you don't understand the basc proof you are trying to
    debunk.

    For instance, a "paradoxical" machine doesn't even try to be
    paradoxical to two different deciders, but for your case where you
    talk about using two decider to try to beat the paradoxical format,
    you eventually need to combine those two into a single decider to give
    the answer.

    in the paper i address his diagonals, i talk about the difference
    between using a standard decider, and using a "fixed" decider (which is context-aware)

    Which isn't ALLOWED as it uses information not part of the input.

    Sorry, you are just proving you don't understand what you are talking about.

    A "Computation", which a decider is a special case of, is only ALLOWED
    to process the input it is given, and its output must be strictly
    determined by it.

    If it can somwhow generate two (or more) different answers for a given
    input, it is BY DEFINITION incorrect, as the problem statement only
    gives one correct answer, so giving two different answers is
    automatically incorrect.



    i never use more than one decider in a diagonal, idk where ur getting
    that from


    then the paradox input is just the one that you used.

    That is your problem, you don't understand that the decider is chosen
    FIRST, and THEM we show the input it will fail on.


    The "paradoxical" input will be built on THAT final decider, not the
    two intermediate deciders.

    Your attempts just show you don't understand the nature of what you
    are talking about.



    And by the end of the first page, you demonstrate that you don't
    understand the basics of the field.



    In fact, the fact you asked me to look at your paper, which
    appears to be on a spammer site that keeps on asking me to
    "subscribe" to there service to see how is mentioning my name is
    part of the cause for some of my attitude.

    It seems you are nothing but a stupid scammer that is trying to
    get people to pay to hear your lies.

    Prove you have some actual intelegence by actually DOING something >>>>>> and showing you understand the meaning behind it, and not just say >>>>>> the world is wrong because it won't give me my unicorns, and the
    world with unicorns would be so much better.


    i want to see someone else in this group do it:

    Why?


    assume D exists, what is the pseudo-code for H from p247 of
    turing's paper

    But it doesn't, so why do it.

    first line of p247:

    /Let us suppose that there is such a process; that is to say, that
    we can invent a machine D/ [Tur36 p247]

    please make that assumption and write the algorithm for H

    Why?

    And the algorithm for H will DEPEND on the algorithm for D, and thus
    if D doesn't exist, neither does H.

    cause if u can't give me a simple 10 line pseudo-code to describe the
    algorithm used then i'll have to assume ur incapable to understand
    either turing's proof, or the various resolutions i've proposed

    And you would be wrong as usual.

    Of course, being wrong is the one thing you seem to be good at.

    instead of actual writing down a 10 line psuedocode, ur spending 20 just talking shit

    i don't buy it in the slightest bro

    Perhaps you don't understand that I am trying to show you how stupid
    your logic is.

    I don't need to "prove" my ability, because here I am not making claims
    that aren't generally accepted. I can rely on the fact that they are
    well proven statements.

    YOU are the one that needs to show you know something, but the fact you
    keep on talking about nonsense, like deciders that either take the WRONG
    input (because they need to be given a context that the question doesn't actually depend on) or change their answer based on something that isn't
    the input.

    Both of these just prove that your decider can't be correct.

    The answer for the behavior of an actual machine doesn't depend on the
    context of the machine asking the question, as that doesn't actually
    change the behavior of the machine in question. Thus, changing your
    answer based on it is just wrong.

    And, when you back of and admit you are just doing partial deciding, you
    balk at the comment that this is a "solved" problem, there are LOTS of
    partial deciders, so you need to show why yours is better, or at a
    minimum, nearly as good as, what the current methods produce.

    Old Hat results aren't really meaningful or interesting.




    in which case idk,

    i can buy a gun and shoot myself cause i really have exhausted all my
    discussion options by now.

    MAYBE you can, depending on where you live, they might not consider
    you competent to have one in some places.



    everyone is too far ethically gone to have any compassion or
    consideration,

    No, YOU are the one ethically gone, thinking that fallicaous logic is
    valid, and that people "owe" you support.

    Clearly you chose to put your "papers" on a site that doesn't respect
    normal deciency, but just trying to get people to spend money for
    likely no real benifit. How much did you need to pay to put your paper
    there?


    and i have no desire to participate further in this unholy 🤡🌎

    Then don't.

    It is clear you can't understand the basics, and have refused to be
    taught, so the best thing to do is to give up and find something you
    can do.

    When you set your life on trying to reach something unreachable, and
    choose to piss of those trying to help you, you really have no value

    I don't understand that bit. What is unprovable about the Church-Turing

    There are, purely theoretical, models of computation (my preferred

    Perhaps a new explicatum would help: "solvation"

    The semi-religious nutjobs can go totally insane at each other with that
    one in the conversation... It'll be fun.

    Computation is for solving things, in general we could refer to
    solvation, either by computation, by oracular inquiry, by divination, by miraculous transmutation of problem statement to solution, by gradient
    descent of physical structures (decay). Perhaps things that modern
    computers do that use entropy to choose a path that approaches a
    solution could be called solvation by compudecay.

    Maybe you should read more of his writing where he talks about what he
    is showing.

    Turing was very much interested in the science of logic and the idea of
    using computing.

    Note, "Enemy Computing Infrastructure" didn't really exist at the time,
    as Computers as we know it didn't exist yet.

    I guess you don't understand that part of history.

    And, your problem is that paper is about a DIFFERENT type of computation
    than the Halting Problem.

    One that ALLOWS for infinitely running machines, as long as they
    continue to produce results.

    The Halting Problem (vs the computable number problem) is based on Computations that must return answers in finite time.

    Thus, your argument is based on a category error.

    Also, it doesn't enumerate the "numbers", but Machines, many of which
    will not actually produce numbers.

    Then he assumes a test exists that determines if that machine satisfies
    the requirements, and shows that there can not be such a test.

    Thus, he shows that there is NOT an effective enumeration of computable numbers, only uncomputable enumerations of them.

    Note his statement on page 246:

    The fallacy in this argument lies in the assumption that § is
    computable. It would be true if we could enumerate the computable
    sequences by finite means, but the problem of enumerating computable
    sequences is equivalent to the problem of finding out whether a given
    number is the D.N of a circle-free machine, and we have no general
    process for doing this in a finite number of steps.


    Thus, what Turing Proves is that there ISN'T an enumeration that
    enumerates the numbers, only one of "all machines" that need an
    uncomputable test to see if they are in that set.

    Sorry, you are just showing you don't understand what is being done.

    And, how do you know how much of it I read?

    apparently not even the 3rd page

    I stop when I hit a critical error in the logic.

    Since you break the logic of your own paper by the second
    paragraph, where you ADMIT that you aren't actually adressing the >>>>>> point you claim to be.

    ur looking just for excuses to not think at all by this point

    No, YOU are looking for someone to validate your LIE.

    Your paper begins with a number of categorical errors, so NOTHING
    that follows can be assumed to make any sense.

    And, you show you don't understand the basc proof you are trying to
    debunk.

    For instance, a "paradoxical" machine doesn't even try to be
    paradoxical to two different deciders, but for your case where you
    talk about using two decider to try to beat the paradoxical format,
    you eventually need to combine those two into a single decider to
    give the answer.

    in the paper i address his diagonals, i talk about the difference
    between using a standard decider, and using a "fixed" decider (which
    is context-aware)

    Which isn't ALLOWED as it uses information not part of the input.

    ok mr math police, didn't realize it was up to you what i'm allowed to
    do or not

    No, it isn't me that says that, it is the rules of the system that
    defines what a "decider" is.

    All you are doing is proving you don't understand, or don't care about
    being wrong.



    Sorry, you are just proving you don't understand what you are talking
    about.

    A "Computation", which a decider is a special case of, is only ALLOWED
    to process the input it is given, and its output must be strictly
    determined by it.

    If it can somwhow generate two (or more) different answers for a given
    input, it is BY DEFINITION incorrect, as the problem statement only
    gives one correct answer, so giving two different answers is
    automatically incorrect.



    i never use more than one decider in a diagonal, idk where ur getting
    that from


    then the paradox input is just the one that you used.

    That is your problem, you don't understand that the decider is chosen
    FIRST, and THEM we show the input it will fail on.


    The "paradoxical" input will be built on THAT final decider, not the
    two intermediate deciders.

    Your attempts just show you don't understand the nature of what you
    are talking about.



    And by the end of the first page, you demonstrate that you don't
    understand the basics of the field.



    In fact, the fact you asked me to look at your paper, which

    assume D exists, what is the pseudo-code for H from p247 of >>>>>>>>> turing's paper

    But it doesn't, so why do it.

    first line of p247:

    /Let us suppose that there is such a process; that is to say,
    that we can invent a machine D/ [Tur36 p247]

    please make that assumption and write the algorithm for H

    Why?

    And the algorithm for H will DEPEND on the algorithm for D, and
    thus if D doesn't exist, neither does H.

    cause if u can't give me a simple 10 line pseudo-code to describe
    the algorithm used then i'll have to assume ur incapable to
    understand either turing's proof, or the various resolutions i've
    proposed

    And you would be wrong as usual.

    Of course, being wrong is the one thing you seem to be good at.

    instead of actual writing down a 10 line psuedocode, ur spending 20
    just talking shit

    i don't buy it in the slightest bro

    Perhaps you don't understand that I am trying to show you how stupid
    your logic is.

    why are you writing paragraphs instead of pseudo-code?

    i don't buy this shit in the slightest

    So, you can't read english?



    I don't need to "prove" my ability, because here I am not making
    claims that aren't generally accepted. I can rely on the fact that
    they are well proven statements.

    YOU are the one that needs to show you know something, but the fact
    you keep on talking about nonsense, like deciders that either take the
    WRONG input (because they need to be given a context that the question
    doesn't actually depend on) or change their answer based on something
    that isn't the input.

    Both of these just prove that your decider can't be correct.

    The answer for the behavior of an actual machine doesn't depend on the
    context of the machine asking the question, as that doesn't actually
    change the behavior of the machine in question. Thus, changing your
    answer based on it is just wrong.

    And, when you back of and admit you are just doing partial deciding,
    you balk at the comment that this is a "solved" problem, there are
    LOTS of partial deciders, so you need to show why yours is better, or
    at a minimum, nearly as good as, what the current methods produce.

    Old Hat results aren't really meaningful or interesting.




    in which case idk,

    i can buy a gun and shoot myself cause i really have exhausted all
    my discussion options by now.

    MAYBE you can, depending on where you live, they might not consider
    you competent to have one in some places.



    everyone is too far ethically gone to have any compassion or
    consideration,

    No, YOU are the one ethically gone, thinking that fallicaous logic
    is valid, and that people "owe" you support.

    Clearly you chose to put your "papers" on a site that doesn't
    respect normal deciency, but just trying to get people to spend
    money for likely no real benifit. How much did you need to pay to
    put your paper there?


    and i have no desire to participate further in this unholy 🤡🌎

    Then don't.

    It is clear you can't understand the basics, and have refused to be
    taught, so the best thing to do is to give up and find something you
    can do.

    When you set your life on trying to reach something unreachable, and
    choose to piss of those trying to help you, you really have no value

    "Computable Numbers" is about computations that run forever, but need to

    "Halting" is about computation that finish in finite time with an answer.

    Turing invented TMs to capture the notion of what is computable

    I'm curious to know how his motives are known.

    At one level there are very clear. In 1928, Hilbert and Ackermann posed
    the question of whether first-order logic was decidable -- was there an algorithm that can determine if a given statement is universally valid.
    (Given other results this is equivalent to deciding, algorithmically, if
    a given statement is provable.)

    At the time of his now famous paper he was working with Church who had
    turned his attention to this as yet unsolved problem. At the time, most mathematicians thought the answer would be "yes". Of course the first
    step is to capture the notion of an algorithm or process. Church came
    up with the lambda calculus, and Turing the abstract machine that not
    bears his name.

    However, the idea that mathematics and specifically proofs, might be
    automated goes way back to at least Leibniz.

    He worked in defence research

    Not at the time, no. He was just a PhD student interested in formal
    logic and the intriguing unsolved problems of the time, one of which was
    about what can be determined by finite "mechanical" means.

    so I expected he was studying the maximum possible capability
    of enemy computing infrastructure to help direct research resources.

    that exactly what turing does in his proof: he defines a comptuation
    that enumerates out all the numbers, testing each one of they
    represent a "satisfactory"/"circle-free" machine, and adding that to
    diagonal across defined across computable numbers

    it really would be a great exercise to carefully read p247 of turing's
    proof and produce the psuedo-code for the machine H, assuming that
    machine D exists


    And, your problem is that paper is about a DIFFERENT type of computation than the Halting Problem.

    One that ALLOWS for infinitely running machines, as long as they
    continue to produce results.

    The Halting Problem (vs the computable number problem) is based on Computations that must return answers in finite time.

    Thus, your argument is based on a category error.

    which would be relevant if turing talked about the halting problem, but
    he didn't


    Also, it doesn't enumerate the "numbers", but Machines, many of which
    will not actually produce numbers.

    Then he assumes a test exists that determines if that machine satisfies
    the requirements, and shows that there can not be such a test.

    Thus, he shows that there is NOT an effective enumeration of computable numbers, only uncomputable enumerations of them.

    Note his statement on page 246:

    The fallacy in this argument lies in the assumption that § is
    computable. It would be true if we could enumerate the computable
    sequences by finite means, but the problem of enumerating computable sequences is equivalent to the problem of finding out whether a given
    number is the D.N of a circle-free machine, and we have no general
    process for doing this in a finite number of steps.


    Thus, what Turing Proves is that there ISN'T an enumeration that
    enumerates the numbers, only one of "all machines" that need an
    uncomputable test to see if they are in that set.

    what i mean by enumerating out numbers is he enumerates out natural
    numbers to find possible machines that might compute "computable
    numbers" (which are real numbers)

    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code


    Sorry, you are just showing you don't understand what is being done.

    i mean u seem to imply turing talked about the halting problem, which he didn't

    Which isn't ALLOWED as it uses information not part of the input.

    No, it isn't me that says that, it is the rules of the system that

    what system and who made the rules?


    All you are doing is proving you don't understand, or don't care about
    being wrong.



    Sorry, you are just proving you don't understand what you are talking
    about.

    A "Computation", which a decider is a special case of, is only
    ALLOWED to process the input it is given, and its output must be
    strictly determined by it.

    If it can somwhow generate two (or more) different answers for a
    given input, it is BY DEFINITION incorrect, as the problem statement
    only gives one correct answer, so giving two different answers is
    automatically incorrect.



    i never use more than one decider in a diagonal, idk where ur
    getting that from


    then the paradox input is just the one that you used.

    That is your problem, you don't understand that the decider is chosen
    FIRST, and THEM we show the input it will fail on.


    The "paradoxical" input will be built on THAT final decider, not
    the two intermediate deciders.

    I don't need to "prove" my ability, because here I am not making
    claims that aren't generally accepted. I can rely on the fact that
    they are well proven statements.

    YOU are the one that needs to show you know something, but the fact
    you keep on talking about nonsense, like deciders that either take
    the WRONG input (because they need to be given a context that the
    question doesn't actually depend on) or change their answer based on
    something that isn't the input.

    Both of these just prove that your decider can't be correct.

    The answer for the behavior of an actual machine doesn't depend on
    the context of the machine asking the question, as that doesn't
    actually change the behavior of the machine in question. Thus,
    changing your answer based on it is just wrong.

    And, when you back of and admit you are just doing partial deciding,
    you balk at the comment that this is a "solved" problem, there are
    LOTS of partial deciders, so you need to show why yours is better, or
    at a minimum, nearly as good as, what the current methods produce.

    Old Hat results aren't really meaningful or interesting.

    It seems your arguement is that people shouldn't have such tools.

    Of course not.

    Most AI is NOT "Proof" or even "Reasoning" based.

    Most AI is based on maximum likely Markov Chain processing.

    What does mostness have to do with it?


    Because you don't seem to understand what you are talking about,

    You seem to think that AI Generation *IS* equivalent to automated proof, when it isn't, as what is normally described as "AI" doesn't do that.

    at least we agree on that

    oh wait maybe u'd like to tell me how i'm wrong for agreeing with you

    I guess you still think that words don't need to mean what they mean, because you world is based on the existance of Unicorns.

    And, you show you don't understand the basc proof you are trying

    in the paper i address his diagonals, i talk about the difference

    (which is context-aware)

    Which isn't ALLOWED as it uses information not part of the input.

    ok mr math police, didn't realize it was up to you what i'm allowed
    to do or not

    No, it isn't me that says that, it is the rules of the system that
    defines what a "decider" is.

    what system and who made the rules?

    Computation Theory, and Decision Theory, laid down in the early 1900's.


    Are you really that dumb that you don't know what you are talking about?



    All you are doing is proving you don't understand, or don't care about
    being wrong.



    Sorry, you are just proving you don't understand what you are
    talking about.

    A "Computation", which a decider is a special case of, is only
    ALLOWED to process the input it is given, and its output must be
    strictly determined by it.

    If it can somwhow generate two (or more) different answers for a
    given input, it is BY DEFINITION incorrect, as the problem statement
    only gives one correct answer, so giving two different answers is
    automatically incorrect.



    i never use more than one decider in a diagonal, idk where ur
    getting that from


    then the paradox input is just the one that you used.

    That is your problem, you don't understand that the decider is

    I don't need to "prove" my ability, because here I am not making
    claims that aren't generally accepted. I can rely on the fact that
    they are well proven statements.

    YOU are the one that needs to show you know something, but the fact
    you keep on talking about nonsense, like deciders that either take
    the WRONG input (because they need to be given a context that the
    question doesn't actually depend on) or change their answer based on
    something that isn't the input.

    Both of these just prove that your decider can't be correct.

    The answer for the behavior of an actual machine doesn't depend on
    the context of the machine asking the question, as that doesn't
    actually change the behavior of the machine in question. Thus,
    changing your answer based on it is just wrong.

    And, when you back of and admit you are just doing partial deciding,
    you balk at the comment that this is a "solved" problem, there are
    LOTS of partial deciders, so you need to show why yours is better,
    or at a minimum, nearly as good as, what the current methods produce.

    Eh?!

    A test is a procedure! You can't test /all/ of an infinitude one by
    one.


    that exactly what turing does in his proof: he defines a comptuation
    that enumerates out all the numbers, testing each one of they
    represent a "satisfactory"/"circle-free" machine, and adding that to
    diagonal across defined across computable numbers

    it really would be a great exercise to carefully read p247 of
    turing's proof and produce the psuedo-code for the machine H,
    assuming that machine D exists


    And, your problem is that paper is about a DIFFERENT type of
    computation than the Halting Problem.

    One that ALLOWS for infinitely running machines, as long as they
    continue to produce results.

    The Halting Problem (vs the computable number problem) is based on
    Computations that must return answers in finite time.

    Thus, your argument is based on a category error.

    which would be relevant if turing talked about the halting problem, but
    he didn't

    No, it is relevent because *YOU* talk about the Halting Problem,
    claiming you have a better idea to solve it.

    Note, its decider needs to be the same sort of machine as machine D in
    Turings proof.

    The decider he proves can't exist, as he proves that some decision
    problems are undecidable, thus answering the Entscheidungsproblem in the negative.

    And in doing so, he lays the groundwork for proving the Halting Problem,
    and breaks the logjam in the thinking that there might be procedures
    that answer any question we want.



    Also, it doesn't enumerate the "numbers", but Machines, many of which
    will not actually produce numbers.

    Then he assumes a test exists that determines if that machine
    satisfies the requirements, and shows that there can not be such a test.

    Thus, he shows that there is NOT an effective enumeration of
    computable numbers, only uncomputable enumerations of them.

    Note his statement on page 246:

    The fallacy in this argument lies in the assumption that § is
    computable. It would be true if we could enumerate the computable
    sequences by finite means, but the problem of enumerating computable
    sequences is equivalent to the problem of finding out whether a given
    number is the D.N of a circle-free machine, and we have no general
    process for doing this in a finite number of steps.


    Thus, what Turing Proves is that there ISN'T an enumeration that
    enumerates the numbers, only one of "all machines" that need an
    uncomputable test to see if they are in that set.

    what i mean by enumerating out numbers is he enumerates out natural
    numbers to find possible machines that might compute "computable
    numbers" (which are real numbers)

    But he never does that. He establishes that he can produce every
    possible machine in some order, and *IF* you could do the decision test, create the computable numbers in a specified order, but you can't do that.


    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code

    Because it isn't really needed.



    Sorry, you are just showing you don't understand what is being done.

    i mean u seem to imply turing talked about the halting problem, which he didn't


    No, he talked about the decision problem, and showed things are
    undecidable, and laid the groundwork that was used to actually handle
    the halting problem.

    Yes, people say he did it, because he established the method used for it.

    Just for the record (dart200 has no interest in learning this stuff)
    that is not at all what Turing does in his 1936 paper.  The argument is
    entirely finite.  Nothing infinite is tested.  Nothing needs to run for
    ever.  The paper is available inline and anyone why cares to can go
    check for themselves.

    wow you taught this shit for years and ur actually *that* much of a retard??? god damn. what in the fuck is this fucking 🤡🌎???

    seriously stfu and post pseudo-code for his machine H defined on p247 of
    his 1936 paper

    this exact page is here:

    https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf#page=18


    it really would be a great exercise to carefully read p247 of turing's
    proof and produce the psuedo-code for the machine H, assuming that
    machine
    D exists



    The "Decision" machine is FINITE, and (if it existed) would always
    answer in finite time.

    The machines being decided on, run forever, not the machines doing the deciding.

    It seems YOU are the retard.

    It seems your arguement is that people shouldn't have such tools.

    Of course not.

    Most AI is NOT "Proof" or even "Reasoning" based.

    Most AI is based on maximum likely Markov Chain processing.

    What does mostness have to do with it?


    Because you don't seem to understand what you are talking about,

    You seem to think that AI Generation *IS* equivalent to automated
    proof, when it isn't, as what is normally described as "AI" doesn't do
    that.

    at least we agree on that

    oh wait maybe u'd like to tell me how i'm wrong for agreeing with you

    Then why did you put the ??? after your statement?

    Note, YOU are the one who mentioned it, and I pointed out that it was dangerous to do so, I never equated it with proving.

    apparently not even the 3rd page

    I stop when I hit a critical error in the logic.

    For instance, a "paradoxical" machine doesn't even try to be

    Which isn't ALLOWED as it uses information not part of the input.

    ok mr math police, didn't realize it was up to you what i'm allowed
    to do or not

    No, it isn't me that says that, it is the rules of the system that
    defines what a "decider" is.

    what system and who made the rules?

    Computation Theory, and Decision Theory, laid down in the early 1900's.

    Are you really that dumb that you don't know what you are talking about?

    and what if they got "the rules" wrong?




    All you are doing is proving you don't understand, or don't care
    about being wrong.



    Sorry, you are just proving you don't understand what you are
    talking about.

    A "Computation", which a decider is a special case of, is only
    ALLOWED to process the input it is given, and its output must be
    strictly determined by it.

    If it can somwhow generate two (or more) different answers for a
    given input, it is BY DEFINITION incorrect, as the problem
    statement only gives one correct answer, so giving two different
    answers is automatically incorrect.



    i never use more than one decider in a diagonal, idk where ur
    getting that from


    then the paradox input is just the one that you used.

    That is your problem, you don't understand that the decider is
    chosen FIRST, and THEM we show the input it will fail on.

    first line of p247:

    /Let us suppose that there is such a process; that is to say, >>>>>>>>>> that we can invent a machine D/ [Tur36 p247]

    please make that assumption and write the algorithm for H

    Why?

    And the algorithm for H will DEPEND on the algorithm for D, and >>>>>>>>> thus if D doesn't exist, neither does H.

    I don't need to "prove" my ability, because here I am not making

    Both of these just prove that your decider can't be correct.

    The answer for the behavior of an actual machine doesn't depend on
    the context of the machine asking the question, as that doesn't
    actually change the behavior of the machine in question. Thus,
    changing your answer based on it is just wrong.

    And, when you back of and admit you are just doing partial
    deciding, you balk at the comment that this is a "solved" problem,

    that exactly what turing does in his proof: he defines a comptuation
    that enumerates out all the numbers, testing each one of they
    represent a "satisfactory"/"circle-free" machine, and adding that to
    diagonal across defined across computable numbers

    it really would be a great exercise to carefully read p247 of
    turing's proof and produce the psuedo-code for the machine H,
    assuming that machine D exists


    And, your problem is that paper is about a DIFFERENT type of
    computation than the Halting Problem.

    One that ALLOWS for infinitely running machines, as long as they
    continue to produce results.

    The Halting Problem (vs the computable number problem) is based on
    Computations that must return answers in finite time.

    Thus, your argument is based on a category error.

    which would be relevant if turing talked about the halting problem,
    but he didn't

    No, it is relevent because *YOU* talk about the Halting Problem,
    claiming you have a better idea to solve it.

    the ideas i've been working on function on both the halting problem and
    the satisfactory problem in turing's paper. my paper was on the
    satisfactory problem in turing's paper because i wanted to address the
    source


    Note, its decider needs to be the same sort of machine as machine D in Turings proof.

    The decider he proves can't exist, as he proves that some decision
    problems are undecidable, thus answering the Entscheidungsproblem in the negative.

    what no one has proven is that the Entscheidungsproblem can't be
    answered reliably thru other interfaces...

    which is a set of words apparently so damn radical the lame duck
    industry of cs "academics" can't even comprehend the concept, let alone address it in a considerate manner

    it shocks me on a daily basis just how much abject brainrot i've waded
    thru in my explorations


    And in doing so, he lays the groundwork for proving the Halting Problem,
    and breaks the logjam in the thinking that there might be procedures
    that answer any question we want.



    Also, it doesn't enumerate the "numbers", but Machines, many of which
    will not actually produce numbers.

    Then he assumes a test exists that determines if that machine
    satisfies the requirements, and shows that there can not be such a test. >>>
    Thus, he shows that there is NOT an effective enumeration of
    computable numbers, only uncomputable enumerations of them.

    Note his statement on page 246:

    The fallacy in this argument lies in the assumption that § is
    computable. It would be true if we could enumerate the computable
    sequences by finite means, but the problem of enumerating computable
    sequences is equivalent to the problem of finding out whether a given
    number is the D.N of a circle-free machine, and we have no general
    process for doing this in a finite number of steps.


    Thus, what Turing Proves is that there ISN'T an enumeration that
    enumerates the numbers, only one of "all machines" that need an
    uncomputable test to see if they are in that set.

    what i mean by enumerating out numbers is he enumerates out natural
    numbers to find possible machines that might compute "computable
    numbers" (which are real numbers)

    But he never does that. He establishes that he can produce every
    possible machine in some order, and *IF* you could do the decision test, create the computable numbers in a specified order, but you can't do that.


    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code

    Because it isn't really needed.

    i am never going to be convinced of anything u say until you produce a
    correct pseudo-code for H from p247

    *never*

    cause it's just abject brainrot that u think u can keep talking so much
    smack without being able to code up his *really* simple algo




    Sorry, you are just showing you don't understand what is being done.

    i mean u seem to imply turing talked about the halting problem, which
    he didn't


    No, he talked about the decision problem, and showed things are
    undecidable, and laid the groundwork that was used to actually handle
    the halting problem.

    Yes, people say he did it, because he established the method used for it.

    The "Decision" machine is FINITE, and (if it existed) would always
    answer in finite time.

    The machines being decided on, run forever, not the machines doing the deciding.

    It seems YOU are the retard.

    the *diagonal* machine H he construct is intended to be an infinite
    running machines computing the diagonal across the "satisfactory"
    computable numbers. he literally describes iterating across all the
    integers in his paper, testing each one with D:

    /In the first N—1 sections, among other things, the integers 1, 2,...,
    N— 1 have been written down and tested by the machine D/

    Yes, a decider that decides on all inputs (as the decision problem

    In part, the undecidability comes out of the fact that the machinery of

    However, the idea that mathematics and specifically proofs, might be

    He worked in defence research

    Not at the time, no.  He was just a PhD student interested in formal
    logic and the intriguing unsolved problems of the time, one of which
    was
    about what can be determined by finite "mechanical" means.

    so I expected he was studying the maximum possible capability
    of enemy computing infrastructure to help direct research resources.

    No, it isn't me that says that, it is the rules of the system that
    defines what a "decider" is.

    what system and who made the rules?

    Computation Theory, and Decision Theory, laid down in the early 1900's.

    Are you really that dumb that you don't know what you are talking about?

    and what if they got "the rules" wrong?

    They can't, as they defined the problem and its rules.

    "Wrong" isn't applicable there.

    That is like saying what if Apples weren't apples, because someone
    misdefined what an apple was.

    An apple *IS* what it was defined to be.

    If you want to try, you can try to show where the definition leads to something inconsistant. Like something being both an apple and not an
    apple, but you can't say that they were wrong and oranges should actualy
    be called apples.

    As I have said, you fundamentally don't seem to understand how "logic"
    works.

    You are free to try to define your own, but you would really need to
    FULLY define you system, and then show it is worth using. A task that
    seems clearly beyond your ability,





    All you are doing is proving you don't understand, or don't care
    about being wrong.



    Sorry, you are just proving you don't understand what you are
    talking about.

    A "Computation", which a decider is a special case of, is only
    ALLOWED to process the input it is given, and its output must be
    strictly determined by it.

    If it can somwhow generate two (or more) different answers for a
    given input, it is BY DEFINITION incorrect, as the problem
    statement only gives one correct answer, so giving two different
    answers is automatically incorrect.



    i never use more than one decider in a diagonal, idk where ur
    getting that from


    then the paradox input is just the one that you used.

    That is your problem, you don't understand that the decider is
    chosen FIRST, and THEM we show the input it will fail on.

    Eh?!

    A test is a procedure! You can't test /all/ of an infinitude one
    by one.


    that exactly what turing does in his proof: he defines a
    comptuation that enumerates out all the numbers, testing each one
    of they represent a "satisfactory"/"circle-free" machine, and
    adding that to diagonal across defined across computable numbers

    it really would be a great exercise to carefully read p247 of
    turing's proof and produce the psuedo-code for the machine H,
    assuming that machine D exists


    And, your problem is that paper is about a DIFFERENT type of
    computation than the Halting Problem.

    One that ALLOWS for infinitely running machines, as long as they
    continue to produce results.

    The Halting Problem (vs the computable number problem) is based on
    Computations that must return answers in finite time.

    Thus, your argument is based on a category error.

    which would be relevant if turing talked about the halting problem,
    but he didn't

    No, it is relevent because *YOU* talk about the Halting Problem,
    claiming you have a better idea to solve it.

    the ideas i've been working on function on both the halting problem and
    the satisfactory problem in turing's paper. my paper was on the
    satisfactory problem in turing's paper because i wanted to address the source

    Then you shouldn't have started (and continued) about talking about the Halting Problem and contray machines.

    Note, This paper never (as far as I remember) works by creating a
    specific "contrary" or 'paradoxical" machine to decide on. The error
    comes naturally out of the problem itself.



    Note, its decider needs to be the same sort of machine as machine D in
    Turings proof.

    The decider he proves can't exist, as he proves that some decision
    problems are undecidable, thus answering the Entscheidungsproblem in
    the negative.

    what no one has proven is that the Entscheidungsproblem can't be
    answered reliably thru other interfaces...

    WHAT OTHER "INTERFACES"?

    He shows a problem that can not be decided. PERIOD.

    Your "Interface" seems to be one of your undefinable terms.


    which is a set of words apparently so damn radical the lame duck
    industry of cs "academics" can't even comprehend the concept, let alone address it in a considerate manner

    No, you don't seem to know what you are talking about.


    it shocks me on a daily basis just how much abject brainrot i've waded
    thru in my explorations

    It seems your brain has completed its rot.



    And in doing so, he lays the groundwork for proving the Halting
    Problem, and breaks the logjam in the thinking that there might be
    procedures that answer any question we want.



    Also, it doesn't enumerate the "numbers", but Machines, many of
    which will not actually produce numbers.

    Then he assumes a test exists that determines if that machine
    satisfies the requirements, and shows that there can not be such a
    test.

    Thus, he shows that there is NOT an effective enumeration of
    computable numbers, only uncomputable enumerations of them.

    Note his statement on page 246:

    The fallacy in this argument lies in the assumption that § is
    computable. It would be true if we could enumerate the computable
    sequences by finite means, but the problem of enumerating computable
    sequences is equivalent to the problem of finding out whether a
    given number is the D.N of a circle-free machine, and we have no
    general process for doing this in a finite number of steps.


    Thus, what Turing Proves is that there ISN'T an enumeration that
    enumerates the numbers, only one of "all machines" that need an
    uncomputable test to see if they are in that set.

    what i mean by enumerating out numbers is he enumerates out natural
    numbers to find possible machines that might compute "computable
    numbers" (which are real numbers)

    But he never does that. He establishes that he can produce every
    possible machine in some order, and *IF* you could do the decision
    test, create the computable numbers in a specified order, but you
    can't do that.


    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code

    Because it isn't really needed.

    i am never going to be convinced of anything u say until you produce a correct pseudo-code for H from p247

    *never*

    cause it's just abject brainrot that u think u can keep talking so much smack without being able to code up his *really* simple algo

    Nope, YOU are the one with brain rot.





    Sorry, you are just showing you don't understand what is being done.

    i mean u seem to imply turing talked about the halting problem, which
    he didn't


    No, he talked about the decision problem, and showed things are
    undecidable, and laid the groundwork that was used to actually handle
    the halting problem.

    Yes, people say he did it, because he established the method used for it.

    of his 1936 paper

    this exact page is here:

    https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf#page=18


    it really would be a great exercise to carefully read p247 of turing's >>>>> proof and produce the psuedo-code for the machine H, assuming that
    machine
    D exists



    The "Decision" machine is FINITE, and (if it existed) would always
    answer in finite time.

    The machines being decided on, run forever, not the machines doing the
    deciding.

    It seems YOU are the retard.

    the *diagonal* machine H he construct is intended to be an infinite
    running machines computing the diagonal across the "satisfactory"
    computable numbers. he literally describes iterating across all the
    integers in his paper, testing each one with D:

    /In the first N—1 sections, among other things, the integers 1, 2,..., N — 1 have been written down and tested by the machine D/

    what in the fuck are you guys smoking???


    But the DECIDER is D, not H. H is just the machine that proves that D
    can't do its job. H is sort of the equivalent to the paradoxical machine
    of the Halting Problem proof. What ever answer D gives when given the
    S.D of H will be wrong.

    I guess you just don't understand what "deciding" means.

    it's kinda funny actually, all these greats getting their panties
    all twisted up /in the same way/ because of failure to appropriately
    handle a lil' self-referential contradiction

    But the "self-reference" isn't actually there in the Turing Formulation.

    i've already quoted this at you

    /Now let K be the D.N of H. What does H do in the K-th section of
    its motion? It must test whether K is satisfactory/

    H is literally testing it's own D.N...

    But it doesn't have a reference to that. it computed that.

    You don't seem to understand what a "reference" is.

    it has an addressable copy of it's source code on the tape, encoded into
    a description number, that it tests

    that's the only kind of self-reference that exists in turing machines,
    and it always involves some steps in the computation to setup, unless
    it's directly set as the input ... but either way it's a reference to
    itself, and the reference to itself is keystone in undecidability proofs


    Do you think that a compiler can't compile the code for itself?


    Yes, a decider that decides on all inputs (as the decision problem
    requires) needs to be able to decide about the "value" that it
    represents itself.

    In part, the undecidability comes out of the fact that the machinery of
    the system IS powerful enough that we can convert the machines into
    values that can be their inputs.

    Since "Turing Complete" machines can do this, any system that can't must
    be less powerful than "Turing Complete".

    what system and who made the rules?

    Computation Theory, and Decision Theory, laid down in the early 1900's.

    it really would be a great exercise to carefully read p247 of
    turing's proof and produce the psuedo-code for the machine H,
    assuming that machine D exists


    And, your problem is that paper is about a DIFFERENT type of
    computation than the Halting Problem.

    One that ALLOWS for infinitely running machines, as long as they
    continue to produce results.

    The Halting Problem (vs the computable number problem) is based on
    Computations that must return answers in finite time.

    Thus, your argument is based on a category error.

    which would be relevant if turing talked about the halting problem,
    but he didn't

    No, it is relevent because *YOU* talk about the Halting Problem,
    claiming you have a better idea to solve it.

    the ideas i've been working on function on both the halting problem
    and the satisfactory problem in turing's paper. my paper was on the
    satisfactory problem in turing's paper because i wanted to address the
    source

    Then you shouldn't have started (and continued) about talking about the Halting Problem and contray machines.

    Note, This paper never (as far as I remember) works by creating a
    specific "contrary" or 'paradoxical" machine to decide on. The error
    comes naturally out of the problem itself.

    if u had read my paper (not just like glanced at it), u'd know there is
    a method to construct the diagonal computation such that it avoids
    stumbling on deciding on itself,

    but turing's purpose was the construct a contradiction, not figure out
    what a working diagonal computation would look like




    Note, its decider needs to be the same sort of machine as machine D
    in Turings proof.

    The decider he proves can't exist, as he proves that some decision
    problems are undecidable, thus answering the Entscheidungsproblem in
    the negative.

    what no one has proven is that the Entscheidungsproblem can't be
    answered reliably thru other interfaces...

    WHAT OTHER "INTERFACES"?

    i've described a variety of them thus far


    He shows a problem that can not be decided. PERIOD.

    Your "Interface" seems to be one of your undefinable terms.

    i've defined it many times to u



    which is a set of words apparently so damn radical the lame duck
    industry of cs "academics" can't even comprehend the concept, let
    alone address it in a considerate manner

    No, you don't seem to know what you are talking about.


    it shocks me on a daily basis just how much abject brainrot i've waded
    thru in my explorations

    It seems your brain has completed its rot.



    And in doing so, he lays the groundwork for proving the Halting
    Problem, and breaks the logjam in the thinking that there might be
    procedures that answer any question we want.



    Also, it doesn't enumerate the "numbers", but Machines, many of
    which will not actually produce numbers.

    Then he assumes a test exists that determines if that machine
    satisfies the requirements, and shows that there can not be such a
    test.

    Thus, he shows that there is NOT an effective enumeration of
    computable numbers, only uncomputable enumerations of them.

    Note his statement on page 246:

    The fallacy in this argument lies in the assumption that § is
    computable. It would be true if we could enumerate the computable
    sequences by finite means, but the problem of enumerating
    computable sequences is equivalent to the problem of finding out
    whether a given number is the D.N of a circle-free machine, and we
    have no general process for doing this in a finite number of steps.


    Thus, what Turing Proves is that there ISN'T an enumeration that
    enumerates the numbers, only one of "all machines" that need an
    uncomputable test to see if they are in that set.

    what i mean by enumerating out numbers is he enumerates out natural
    numbers to find possible machines that might compute "computable
    numbers" (which are real numbers)

    But he never does that. He establishes that he can produce every
    possible machine in some order, and *IF* you could do the decision
    test, create the computable numbers in a specified order, but you
    can't do that.


    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code

    Because it isn't really needed.

    i am never going to be convinced of anything u say until you produce a
    correct pseudo-code for H from p247

    *never*

    cause it's just abject brainrot that u think u can keep talking so
    much smack without being able to code up his *really* simple algo

    Nope, YOU are the one with brain rot.

    no pseudo-code = no convincing






    Sorry, you are just showing you don't understand what is being done.

    i mean u seem to imply turing talked about the halting problem,
    which he didn't


    No, he talked about the decision problem, and showed things are
    undecidable, and laid the groundwork that was used to actually handle
    the halting problem.

    Yes, people say he did it, because he established the method used for
    it.

    It seems YOU are the retard.

    the *diagonal* machine H he construct is intended to be an infinite

    it's kinda funny actually, all these greats getting their panties
    all twisted up /in the same way/ because of failure to
    appropriately handle a lil' self-referential contradiction

    But the "self-reference" isn't actually there in the Turing
    Formulation.

    i've already quoted this at you

    /Now let K be the D.N of H. What does H do in the K-th section of
    its motion? It must test whether K is satisfactory/

    H is literally testing it's own D.N...

    But it doesn't have a reference to that. it computed that.

    You don't seem to understand what a "reference" is.

    it has an addressable copy of it's source code on the tape, encoded into
    a description number, that it tests

    that's the only kind of self-reference that exists in turing machines,
    and it always involves some steps in the computation to setup, unless
    it's directly set as the input ... but either way it's a reference to itself, and the reference to itself is keystone in undecidability proofs


    Which isn't a "Reference" in the meaning of the word.

    Just shows that Turing Machines CAN'T have "self-references" as defined
    in logic.

    It is processing an input that just happens to match a description of
    itself.

    Since that is a legal input, no foul.

    In other words, to try to prohibit this input, means you can't be as
    powerful in computing as a Turing Machine.

    Thus, this "problem" is ESSENTIAL to the nature of the machines, and
    can't be just "fixed".


    Do you think that a compiler can't compile the code for itself?


    Yes, a decider that decides on all inputs (as the decision problem
    requires) needs to be able to decide about the "value" that it
    represents itself.

    In part, the undecidability comes out of the fact that the machinery
    of the system IS powerful enough that we can convert the machines into
    values that can be their inputs.

    Since "Turing Complete" machines can do this, any system that can't
    must be less powerful than "Turing Complete".

    i mean, the mere fact ur talking like that is kind of very much
    religious discussion, not mathematical, and lends itself to u being irrationally biased

    which seems to be the result of my conversation with u


    Which means you don't understand the nature of formal logic system.

    The definition of the system *IS* fixed at its creatation and is what it is.

    As I have said, if you want to create a different one, you can be your
    own "God" and create one. You just then take on the problem of actually defining it and then showing what it can do and convince others that it
    is worth using.

    The existing system is the one based on the defintions agreed to by the
    early workers in the field, and YOU can't change it and be in it,

    Your logic seems to be based on the lie that you can change something
    yet it still stays the same.

    it really would be a great exercise to carefully read p247 of
    turing's proof and produce the psuedo-code for the machine H,
    assuming that machine D exists


    And, your problem is that paper is about a DIFFERENT type of
    computation than the Halting Problem.

    One that ALLOWS for infinitely running machines, as long as they
    continue to produce results.

    The Halting Problem (vs the computable number problem) is based on >>>>>> Computations that must return answers in finite time.

    Thus, your argument is based on a category error.

    which would be relevant if turing talked about the halting problem, >>>>> but he didn't

    No, it is relevent because *YOU* talk about the Halting Problem,
    claiming you have a better idea to solve it.

    the ideas i've been working on function on both the halting problem
    and the satisfactory problem in turing's paper. my paper was on the
    satisfactory problem in turing's paper because i wanted to address
    the source

    Then you shouldn't have started (and continued) about talking about
    the Halting Problem and contray machines.

    Note, This paper never (as far as I remember) works by creating a
    specific "contrary" or 'paradoxical" machine to decide on. The error
    comes naturally out of the problem itself.

    if u had read my paper (not just like glanced at it), u'd know there is
    a method to construct the diagonal computation such that it avoids
    stumbling on deciding on itself,

    Only by assuming that Unicorns exist.

    Since, as I pointed out, you LEFT the system in your first page by
    claiming falsehoods, you didn't prove anything in the system you claim
    to have been working on.


    but turing's purpose was the construct a contradiction, not figure out
    what a working diagonal computation would look like




    Note, its decider needs to be the same sort of machine as machine D
    in Turings proof.

    The decider he proves can't exist, as he proves that some decision
    problems are undecidable, thus answering the Entscheidungsproblem in
    the negative.

    what no one has proven is that the Entscheidungsproblem can't be
    answered reliably thru other interfaces...

    WHAT OTHER "INTERFACES"?

    i've described a variety of them thus far

    Really?

    Not in the rules of Computation Theory, as your machines aren't machine
    as they don't include all their algorithm.



    He shows a problem that can not be decided. PERIOD.

    Your "Interface" seems to be one of your undefinable terms.

    i've defined it many times to u

    No, you use the word but not DEFINE it.

    It seems you don't know what a DEFINTION is.




    which is a set of words apparently so damn radical the lame duck
    industry of cs "academics" can't even comprehend the concept, let
    alone address it in a considerate manner

    No, you don't seem to know what you are talking about.


    it shocks me on a daily basis just how much abject brainrot i've
    waded thru in my explorations

    It seems your brain has completed its rot.



    And in doing so, he lays the groundwork for proving the Halting
    Problem, and breaks the logjam in the thinking that there might be
    procedures that answer any question we want.



    Also, it doesn't enumerate the "numbers", but Machines, many of
    which will not actually produce numbers.

    Then he assumes a test exists that determines if that machine
    satisfies the requirements, and shows that there can not be such a >>>>>> test.

    Thus, he shows that there is NOT an effective enumeration of
    computable numbers, only uncomputable enumerations of them.

    Note his statement on page 246:

    The fallacy in this argument lies in the assumption that § is
    computable. It would be true if we could enumerate the computable >>>>>> sequences by finite means, but the problem of enumerating
    computable sequences is equivalent to the problem of finding out
    whether a given number is the D.N of a circle-free machine, and we >>>>>> have no general process for doing this in a finite number of steps. >>>>>>

    Thus, what Turing Proves is that there ISN'T an enumeration that
    enumerates the numbers, only one of "all machines" that need an
    uncomputable test to see if they are in that set.

    what i mean by enumerating out numbers is he enumerates out natural >>>>> numbers to find possible machines that might compute "computable
    numbers" (which are real numbers)

    But he never does that. He establishes that he can produce every
    possible machine in some order, and *IF* you could do the decision
    test, create the computable numbers in a specified order, but you
    can't do that.


    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code

    Because it isn't really needed.

    i am never going to be convinced of anything u say until you produce
    a correct pseudo-code for H from p247

    *never*

    cause it's just abject brainrot that u think u can keep talking so
    much smack without being able to code up his *really* simple algo

    Nope, YOU are the one with brain rot.

    no pseudo-code = no convincing

    NO DEFINITIONS, nothing shown.

    If you want to ignore truth, you just prove your own stupidity,







    Sorry, you are just showing you don't understand what is being done. >>>>>
    i mean u seem to imply turing talked about the halting problem,
    which he didn't


    No, he talked about the decision problem, and showed things are
    undecidable, and laid the groundwork that was used to actually
    handle the halting problem.

    Yes, people say he did it, because he established the method used
    for it.

    what system and who made the rules?

    Computation Theory, and Decision Theory, laid down in the early

    They can't, as they defined the problem and its rules.

    The definition of the system *IS* fixed at its creatation and is what it

    lol even the axiom of formal set theory haven't been "fixed at

    Thus, your argument is based on a category error.

    which would be relevant if turing talked about the halting
    problem, but he didn't

    No, it is relevent because *YOU* talk about the Halting Problem,
    claiming you have a better idea to solve it.

    the ideas i've been working on function on both the halting problem
    and the satisfactory problem in turing's paper. my paper was on the
    satisfactory problem in turing's paper because i wanted to address
    the source

    Then you shouldn't have started (and continued) about talking about
    the Halting Problem and contray machines.

    Note, This paper never (as far as I remember) works by creating a
    specific "contrary" or 'paradoxical" machine to decide on. The error
    comes naturally out of the problem itself.

    if u had read my paper (not just like glanced at it), u'd know there
    is a method to construct the diagonal computation such that it avoids
    stumbling on deciding on itself,

    Only by assuming that Unicorns exist.

    doesn't require a fixed decider to avoid itself, just a quine based self-reference

    u ofc don't know what i'm talking about and have demonstrated no
    capability to hold a coherent conversation

    Since, as I pointed out, you LEFT the system in your first page by
    claiming falsehoods, you didn't prove anything in the system you claim
    to have been working on.


    but turing's purpose was the construct a contradiction, not figure out
    what a working diagonal computation would look like




    Note, its decider needs to be the same sort of machine as machine D >>>>> in Turings proof.

    The decider he proves can't exist, as he proves that some decision
    problems are undecidable, thus answering the Entscheidungsproblem
    in the negative.

    what no one has proven is that the Entscheidungsproblem can't be
    answered reliably thru other interfaces...

    WHAT OTHER "INTERFACES"?

    i've described a variety of them thus far

    Really?

    Not in the rules of Computation Theory, as your machines aren't machine
    as they don't include all their algorithm.

    u haven't defined the rules of computation theory, u just make random
    claims about it whenever the fuck




    He shows a problem that can not be decided. PERIOD.

    Your "Interface" seems to be one of your undefinable terms.

    i've defined it many times to u

    No, you use the word but not DEFINE it.

    it is the specification that a machine computes, or possibly some meta-specification

    but u don't debate honorably dick, u just reject every i say even when i
    agree


    It seems you don't know what a DEFINTION is.




    which is a set of words apparently so damn radical the lame duck
    industry of cs "academics" can't even comprehend the concept, let
    alone address it in a considerate manner

    No, you don't seem to know what you are talking about.


    it shocks me on a daily basis just how much abject brainrot i've
    waded thru in my explorations

    It seems your brain has completed its rot.



    And in doing so, he lays the groundwork for proving the Halting
    Problem, and breaks the logjam in the thinking that there might be
    procedures that answer any question we want.



    Also, it doesn't enumerate the "numbers", but Machines, many of >>>>>>> which will not actually produce numbers.

    Then he assumes a test exists that determines if that machine
    satisfies the requirements, and shows that there can not be such >>>>>>> a test.

    Thus, he shows that there is NOT an effective enumeration of
    computable numbers, only uncomputable enumerations of them.

    Note his statement on page 246:

    The fallacy in this argument lies in the assumption that § is
    computable. It would be true if we could enumerate the computable >>>>>>> sequences by finite means, but the problem of enumerating
    computable sequences is equivalent to the problem of finding out >>>>>>> whether a given number is the D.N of a circle-free machine, and >>>>>>> we have no general process for doing this in a finite number of >>>>>>> steps.


    Thus, what Turing Proves is that there ISN'T an enumeration that >>>>>>> enumerates the numbers, only one of "all machines" that need an >>>>>>> uncomputable test to see if they are in that set.

    what i mean by enumerating out numbers is he enumerates out
    natural numbers to find possible machines that might compute
    "computable numbers" (which are real numbers)

    But he never does that. He establishes that he can produce every
    possible machine in some order, and *IF* you could do the decision
    test, create the computable numbers in a specified order, but you
    can't do that.


    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code

    Because it isn't really needed.

    i am never going to be convinced of anything u say until you produce
    a correct pseudo-code for H from p247

    *never*

    cause it's just abject brainrot that u think u can keep talking so
    much smack without being able to code up his *really* simple algo

    Nope, YOU are the one with brain rot.

    no pseudo-code = no convincing

    NO DEFINITIONS, nothing shown.

    If you want to ignore truth, you just prove your own stupidity,

    still no pseudo-code cause ur a fraud dick

    i'm honest not sure why u bother typing responses. ur words fall on deaf
    ears cause u refuse to write anything beyond shallow insults and random
    claims over rules that don't actually exist








    Sorry, you are just showing you don't understand what is being done. >>>>>>
    i mean u seem to imply turing talked about the halting problem,
    which he didn't


    No, he talked about the decision problem, and showed things are
    undecidable, and laid the groundwork that was used to actually
    handle the halting problem.

    Yes, people say he did it, because he established the method used
    for it.

    it has an addressable copy of it's source code on the tape, encoded
    into a description number, that it tests

    that's the only kind of self-reference that exists in turing machines,

    Just shows that Turing Machines CAN'T have "self-references" as defined
    in logic.

    It is processing an input that just happens to match a description of itself.

    Since that is a legal input, no foul.

    In other words, to try to prohibit this input, means you can't be as powerful in computing as a Turing Machine.

    Thus, this "problem" is ESSENTIAL to the nature of the machines, and
    can't be just "fixed".


    Do you think that a compiler can't compile the code for itself?


    Yes, a decider that decides on all inputs (as the decision problem
    requires) needs to be able to decide about the "value" that it
    represents itself.

    In part, the undecidability comes out of the fact that the machinery
    of the system IS powerful enough that we can convert the machines
    into values that can be their inputs.

    Since "Turing Complete" machines can do this, any system that can't
    must be less powerful than "Turing Complete".

    it's kinda funny actually, all these greats getting their panties >>>>>>> all twisted up /in the same way/ because of failure to
    appropriately handle a lil' self-referential contradiction

    But the "self-reference" isn't actually there in the Turing
    Formulation.

    i've already quoted this at you

    /Now let K be the D.N of H. What does H do in the K-th section of
    its motion? It must test whether K is satisfactory/

    H is literally testing it's own D.N...

    But it doesn't have a reference to that. it computed that.

    You don't seem to understand what a "reference" is.

    it has an addressable copy of it's source code on the tape, encoded
    into a description number, that it tests

    that's the only kind of self-reference that exists in turing
    machines, and it always involves some steps in the computation to
    setup, unless it's directly set as the input ... but either way it's
    a reference to itself, and the reference to itself is keystone in
    undecidability proofs


    Which isn't a "Reference" in the meaning of the word.

    not worthy of my time to debate semantics over something making up
    conflicts that need not exist

    it's a self-reference for anyone but someone bent on being contrarian
    for the sake of it, and i will keep referring to it like regardless of
    ur objections

    It also is a valid input that a system defined to answer for "All" needs
    to answer for,

    It seems you world assumes that "all" means maybe most, and "Does Not
    exist" means it might exist.

    That you can answer a question with a non-answer.

    In other words, it is based on LIES.



    Just shows that Turing Machines CAN'T have "self-references" as
    defined in logic.

    It is processing an input that just happens to match a description of
    itself.

    Since that is a legal input, no foul.

    In other words, to try to prohibit this input, means you can't be as
    powerful in computing as a Turing Machine.

    Thus, this "problem" is ESSENTIAL to the nature of the machines, and
    can't be just "fixed".


    Do you think that a compiler can't compile the code for itself?


    Yes, a decider that decides on all inputs (as the decision problem
    requires) needs to be able to decide about the "value" that it
    represents itself.

    In part, the undecidability comes out of the fact that the machinery
    of the system IS powerful enough that we can convert the machines
    into values that can be their inputs.

    Since "Turing Complete" machines can do this, any system that can't
    must be less powerful than "Turing Complete".

    i mean, the mere fact ur talking like that is kind of very much
    religious discussion, not mathematical, and lends itself to u being
    irrationally biased

    which seems to be the result of my conversation with u


    Which means you don't understand the nature of formal logic system.

    The definition of the system *IS* fixed at its creatation and is what
    it is.

    lol even the axiom of formal set theory haven't been "fixed at
    creation", why would computation be so fixed?

    because some dick said so??? lol

    you're a terrible debater


    You don't understand.

    "Set Theory" as a generic isn't define, except that it is generally
    accepted that the term will, for now, default to ZFC.

    ZFC as a set theory has fixed and defined.

    In the same way, "Computation Theory" as a generic refers to the theory
    as defined by the early authors in the field, which *IS* defined.

    As I said, you just don't understand how Formal Logic works.

    If you don't want to play in the existing system, create your own, but
    that means you need to do the actual work to do it.

    And, your system won't means diddly to the existing system, as it isn't it.

    If you do a good enough job, and it actually is more useful thant the existing, maybe your system can get adopted as the default by the field.

    Thus, your argument is based on a category error.

    which would be relevant if turing talked about the halting
    problem, but he didn't

    No, it is relevent because *YOU* talk about the Halting Problem,
    claiming you have a better idea to solve it.

    the ideas i've been working on function on both the halting problem >>>>> and the satisfactory problem in turing's paper. my paper was on the >>>>> satisfactory problem in turing's paper because i wanted to address

    Then you shouldn't have started (and continued) about talking about
    the Halting Problem and contray machines.

    Note, This paper never (as far as I remember) works by creating a
    specific "contrary" or 'paradoxical" machine to decide on. The error
    comes naturally out of the problem itself.

    if u had read my paper (not just like glanced at it), u'd know there
    is a method to construct the diagonal computation such that it avoids
    stumbling on deciding on itself,

    Only by assuming that Unicorns exist.

    doesn't require a fixed decider to avoid itself, just a quine based self-reference

    Doesn't work. So, what answer does that quine based decider give for the question about itself?

    Either answer is still wrong.


    And how is being "quine based" keep it from being "fixed".

    It still is only one unique machine.


    u ofc don't know what i'm talking about and have demonstrated no
    capability to hold a coherent conversation

    No, YOU keep on making categorical errors not knowing the real meaning
    of the terms you are using.


    Since, as I pointed out, you LEFT the system in your first page by
    claiming falsehoods, you didn't prove anything in the system you claim
    to have been working on.


    but turing's purpose was the construct a contradiction, not figure
    out what a working diagonal computation would look like




    Note, its decider needs to be the same sort of machine as machine >>>>>> D in Turings proof.

    The decider he proves can't exist, as he proves that some decision >>>>>> problems are undecidable, thus answering the Entscheidungsproblem >>>>>> in the negative.

    what no one has proven is that the Entscheidungsproblem can't be
    answered reliably thru other interfaces...

    WHAT OTHER "INTERFACES"?

    i've described a variety of them thus far

    Really?

    Not in the rules of Computation Theory, as your machines aren't
    machine as they don't include all their algorithm.

    u haven't defined the rules of computation theory, u just make random
    claims about it whenever the fuck

    I don't need to do that, as they ARE already defined in the literature.





    He shows a problem that can not be decided. PERIOD.

    Your "Interface" seems to be one of your undefinable terms.

    i've defined it many times to u

    No, you use the word but not DEFINE it.

    it is the specification that a machine computes, or possibly some meta- specification

    In other words, you are "solving" a problem by solving some other problem?




    but u don't debate honorably dick, u just reject every i say even when i agree

    It seems you are just admitting your logic is based on lying,

    If I have a classification decision problem, that problem has a
    specification of indicating which class an input lies in.

    What other "specification" can exist?

    All you seem to want to do is say that if you don't need to answer the question, you can answer the question.

    In other words, you want to make lies be truth.



    It seems you don't know what a DEFINTION is.




    which is a set of words apparently so damn radical the lame duck
    industry of cs "academics" can't even comprehend the concept, let
    alone address it in a considerate manner

    No, you don't seem to know what you are talking about.


    it shocks me on a daily basis just how much abject brainrot i've
    waded thru in my explorations

    It seems your brain has completed its rot.



    And in doing so, he lays the groundwork for proving the Halting
    Problem, and breaks the logjam in the thinking that there might be >>>>>> procedures that answer any question we want.



    Also, it doesn't enumerate the "numbers", but Machines, many of >>>>>>>> which will not actually produce numbers.

    Then he assumes a test exists that determines if that machine >>>>>>>> satisfies the requirements, and shows that there can not be such >>>>>>>> a test.

    Thus, he shows that there is NOT an effective enumeration of
    computable numbers, only uncomputable enumerations of them.

    Note his statement on page 246:

    The fallacy in this argument lies in the assumption that § is >>>>>>>> computable. It would be true if we could enumerate the
    computable sequences by finite means, but the problem of
    enumerating computable sequences is equivalent to the problem of >>>>>>>> finding out whether a given number is the D.N of a circle-free >>>>>>>> machine, and we have no general process for doing this in a
    finite number of steps.


    Thus, what Turing Proves is that there ISN'T an enumeration that >>>>>>>> enumerates the numbers, only one of "all machines" that need an >>>>>>>> uncomputable test to see if they are in that set.

    what i mean by enumerating out numbers is he enumerates out
    natural numbers to find possible machines that might compute
    "computable numbers" (which are real numbers)

    But he never does that. He establishes that he can produce every
    possible machine in some order, and *IF* you could do the decision >>>>>> test, create the computable numbers in a specified order, but you >>>>>> can't do that.


    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code

    religious discussion, not mathematical, and lends itself to u being
    irrationally biased

    which seems to be the result of my conversation with u


    Which means you don't understand the nature of formal logic system.

    The definition of the system *IS* fixed at its creatation and is what
    it is.

    lol even the axiom of formal set theory haven't been "fixed at
    creation", why would computation be so fixed?

    because some dick said so??? lol

    you're a terrible debater


    You don't understand.

    "Set Theory" as a generic isn't define, except that it is generally
    accepted that the term will, for now, default to ZFC.

    ZFC as a set theory has fixed and defined.

    axioms are routinely added by mathematicians to explore new results u delusional dope, why are you lying to me?


    In the same way, "Computation Theory" as a generic refers to the theory
    as defined by the early authors in the field, which *IS* defined.

    As I said, you just don't understand how Formal Logic works.

    If you don't want to play in the existing system, create your own, but
    that means you need to do the actual work to do it.

    ur just engaging in a continual dogmatism fallacy

    i can modify existing systems. why are you lying to me?


    And, your system won't means diddly to the existing system, as it isn't it.

    If you do a good enough job, and it actually is more useful thant the existing, maybe your system can get adopted as the default by the field.

    Thus, your argument is based on a category error.

    which would be relevant if turing talked about the halting
    problem, but he didn't

    No, it is relevent because *YOU* talk about the Halting Problem, >>>>>>> claiming you have a better idea to solve it.

    the ideas i've been working on function on both the halting
    problem and the satisfactory problem in turing's paper. my paper
    was on the satisfactory problem in turing's paper because i wanted >>>>>> to address the source

    Then you shouldn't have started (and continued) about talking about >>>>> the Halting Problem and contray machines.

    Note, This paper never (as far as I remember) works by creating a
    specific "contrary" or 'paradoxical" machine to decide on. The
    error comes naturally out of the problem itself.

    if u had read my paper (not just like glanced at it), u'd know there
    is a method to construct the diagonal computation such that it
    avoids stumbling on deciding on itself,

    Only by assuming that Unicorns exist.

    doesn't require a fixed decider to avoid itself, just a quine based
    self-reference

    Doesn't work.

    more humility would do u wonders dick

    So, what answer does that quine based decider give for the
    question about itself?

    it's not the decider that has a quine, it's the diagonal computation H
    that uses D that has the quine to recognize H.

    when the diagonal computation recognizes it's own number in the total
    machine enumeration, it never asks the decider on itself, when it
    identifies itself in the total machine numeration it adds some fixed
    digit to the diagonal instead of recursively getting stuck in simulating itself.

    doesn't matter what digit: both are different machines, with different
    indexes in the enumeration, that compute the diagonal


    Either answer is still wrong.


    And how is being "quine based" keep it from being "fixed".

    It still is only one unique machine.


    u ofc don't know what i'm talking about and have demonstrated no
    capability to hold a coherent conversation

    No, YOU keep on making categorical errors not knowing the real meaning
    of the terms you are using.


    Since, as I pointed out, you LEFT the system in your first page by
    claiming falsehoods, you didn't prove anything in the system you
    claim to have been working on.


    but turing's purpose was the construct a contradiction, not figure
    out what a working diagonal computation would look like




    Note, its decider needs to be the same sort of machine as machine >>>>>>> D in Turings proof.

    The decider he proves can't exist, as he proves that some
    decision problems are undecidable, thus answering the
    Entscheidungsproblem in the negative.

    what no one has proven is that the Entscheidungsproblem can't be
    answered reliably thru other interfaces...

    WHAT OTHER "INTERFACES"?

    i've described a variety of them thus far

    Really?

    Not in the rules of Computation Theory, as your machines aren't
    machine as they don't include all their algorithm.

    u haven't defined the rules of computation theory, u just make random
    claims about it whenever the fuck

    I don't need to do that, as they ARE already defined in the literature.

    and which literature defines "the rules"???






    He shows a problem that can not be decided. PERIOD.

    Your "Interface" seems to be one of your undefinable terms.

    i've defined it many times to u

    No, you use the word but not DEFINE it.

    it is the specification that a machine computes, or possibly some
    meta- specification

    In other words, you are "solving" a problem by solving some other problem?


    but u don't debate honorably dick, u just reject every i say even when
    i agree

    It seems you are just admitting your logic is based on lying,

    If I have a classification decision problem, that problem has a specification of indicating which class an input lies in.

    What other "specification" can exist?

    All you seem to want to do is say that if you don't need to answer the question, you can answer the question.

    In other words, you want to make lies be truth.



    It seems you don't know what a DEFINTION is.




    which is a set of words apparently so damn radical the lame duck

    And in doing so, he lays the groundwork for proving the Halting >>>>>>> Problem, and breaks the logjam in the thinking that there might >>>>>>> be procedures that answer any question we want.



    Also, it doesn't enumerate the "numbers", but Machines, many of >>>>>>>>> which will not actually produce numbers.

    Then he assumes a test exists that determines if that machine >>>>>>>>> satisfies the requirements, and shows that there can not be >>>>>>>>> such a test.

    Thus, he shows that there is NOT an effective enumeration of >>>>>>>>> computable numbers, only uncomputable enumerations of them.

    Note his statement on page 246:

    The fallacy in this argument lies in the assumption that § is >>>>>>>>> computable. It would be true if we could enumerate the

    enumerating computable sequences is equivalent to the problem >>>>>>>>> of finding out whether a given number is the D.N of a circle- >>>>>>>>> free machine, and we have no general process for doing this in >>>>>>>>> a finite number of steps.


    Thus, what Turing Proves is that there ISN'T an enumeration >>>>>>>>> that enumerates the numbers, only one of "all machines" that >>>>>>>>> need an uncomputable test to see if they are in that set.

    what i mean by enumerating out numbers is he enumerates out
    natural numbers to find possible machines that might compute
    "computable numbers" (which are real numbers)

    But he never does that. He establishes that he can produce every >>>>>>> possible machine in some order, and *IF* you could do the
    decision test, create the computable numbers in a specified
    order, but you can't do that.


    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code

    i am never going to be convinced of anything u say until you

    Thus, your argument is based on a category error.

    which would be relevant if turing talked about the halting
    problem, but he didn't

    No, it is relevent because *YOU* talk about the Halting Problem, >>>>>>>> claiming you have a better idea to solve it.

    the ideas i've been working on function on both the halting
    problem and the satisfactory problem in turing's paper. my paper >>>>>>> was on the satisfactory problem in turing's paper because i
    wanted to address the source

    Then you shouldn't have started (and continued) about talking
    about the Halting Problem and contray machines.

    Note, This paper never (as far as I remember) works by creating a >>>>>> specific "contrary" or 'paradoxical" machine to decide on. The
    error comes naturally out of the problem itself.

    if u had read my paper (not just like glanced at it), u'd know
    there is a method to construct the diagonal computation such that
    it avoids stumbling on deciding on itself,

    Only by assuming that Unicorns exist.

    doesn't require a fixed decider to avoid itself, just a quine based
    self-reference

    Doesn't work.

    more humility would do u wonders dick

    Could say the same about you.

    The problem is YOU are the one making stupid claims, not me, thus YOU
    are the one showing stupidity on insisting on lies.


    So, what answer does that quine based decider give for the question
    about itself?

    it's not the decider that has a quine, it's the diagonal computation H
    that uses D that has the quine to recognize H.

    But the problem is it isn;t the Diagonal Computation that is said to be impossible, but the decider.

    The H he descrives still exists, even if you make your variant, but that
    H can't be decided on.


    when the diagonal computation recognizes it's own number in the total machine enumeration, it never asks the decider on itself, when it
    identifies itself in the total machine numeration it adds some fixed
    digit to the diagonal instead of recursively getting stuck in simulating itself.

    So, as I said, it isn't the diagonal computation that is said to be impossible, just the decider that enumerates the diagonal machines.

    WHat does that decider do for the non-quine version described.


    doesn't matter what digit: both are different machines, with different indexes in the enumeration, that compute the diagonal

    So? what does D do with the original H.

    This is your problem, you don't pay attention to the problem being
    actually defined.

    It is a bit like the "pathological" input for the halting problem.



    Either answer is still wrong.


    And how is being "quine based" keep it from being "fixed".

    It still is only one unique machine.


    u ofc don't know what i'm talking about and have demonstrated no
    capability to hold a coherent conversation

    No, YOU keep on making categorical errors not knowing the real meaning
    of the terms you are using.


    Since, as I pointed out, you LEFT the system in your first page by
    claiming falsehoods, you didn't prove anything in the system you
    claim to have been working on.


    but turing's purpose was the construct a contradiction, not figure
    out what a working diagonal computation would look like




    Note, its decider needs to be the same sort of machine as
    machine D in Turings proof.

    The decider he proves can't exist, as he proves that some
    decision problems are undecidable, thus answering the
    Entscheidungsproblem in the negative.

    what no one has proven is that the Entscheidungsproblem can't be >>>>>>> answered reliably thru other interfaces...

    WHAT OTHER "INTERFACES"?

    i've described a variety of them thus far

    Really?

    Not in the rules of Computation Theory, as your machines aren't
    machine as they don't include all their algorithm.

    u haven't defined the rules of computation theory, u just make random
    claims about it whenever the fuck

    I don't need to do that, as they ARE already defined in the literature.

    and which literature defines "the rules"???

    The "Literature", as a collection.

    Yes, part of the problem is that they were more focused on the goal of figuring if this class of "decision" problems were do able, no one
    actually sat down (as far as I know) to formally and definitively define
    it as a system, and in fact, you see some comments in the writing about disagreeing and refining the definitions. But the basic concept is
    fairly clear if you read much of the writting and remember what they
    were working on. Was there some defined algorithmic method that could be
    used to answer the tough problems they were coming up on in mathematics
    and logic.







    He shows a problem that can not be decided. PERIOD.

    Your "Interface" seems to be one of your undefinable terms.

    i've defined it many times to u

    No, you use the word but not DEFINE it.

    it is the specification that a machine computes, or possibly some
    meta- specification

    In other words, you are "solving" a problem by solving some other
    problem?


    but u don't debate honorably dick, u just reject every i say even
    when i agree

    It seems you are just admitting your logic is based on lying,

    If I have a classification decision problem, that problem has a
    specification of indicating which class an input lies in.

    What other "specification" can exist?

    All you seem to want to do is say that if you don't need to answer the
    question, you can answer the question.

    In other words, you want to make lies be truth.



    It seems you don't know what a DEFINTION is.




    which is a set of words apparently so damn radical the lame duck >>>>>>> industry of cs "academics" can't even comprehend the concept, let >>>>>>> alone address it in a considerate manner

    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code

    Because it isn't really needed.

    *never*

    Nope, YOU are the one with brain rot.

    no pseudo-code = no convincing

    NO DEFINITIONS, nothing shown.

    If you want to ignore truth, you just prove your own stupidity,

    still no pseudo-code cause ur a fraud dick

    Still being stupid I see.


    i'm honest not sure why u bother typing responses. ur words fall on
    deaf ears cause u refuse to write anything beyond shallow insults and
    random claims over rules that don't actually exist

    Your problem is that you fundamentally don't understand what you are
    talking about, as your world seems to be based on the assumption that
    things don't need to be what they are, and that lies are valid.

    no pseudo-code = no convincing

    Simplified version assuming D taks D.N instead of S.D

    def H:
    let N = 1
    let K = 0
    do:
    if D (N) is satisified:
    let K = K + 1
    simulate S.D corresponding to N till it produces K symbols
    output that K'th symbol
    Let N = N + 1


    Note, each implementation of this pseudo code will have a number N.

    IF D only is statisfied by circle-free programs, that is programs that continue to produce outputs then this program MUST be circle free as
    long as the following are true:

    * D itself must be halting, and always produce an answer (which is part
    of its definition to exist)
    * There must be an infinite number of circle-free programs

    And we then get to the delemma mentions on page 247,

    When given this program to decide on, if it says that it is NOT
    circle-free, then it WILL continue to produce output forever and thus
    show that it WAS circle-free and thus D was wrong.

    If it says that H is circle-free, then it will simulate itself until it produces K outputs, but after that simulation produces K-1 outputs, it
    will itself simulate itself and so on into the infinte loop.

    Talking about a DIFFERENT machine, with a DIFFERENT D.N is irrelevant,
    that other machine isn't this one,



    i would ask if u care about convincing me,

    Not really, just showing you are wrong.

    Since you don't care about truth, you might not be convincible.


    but clearly u don't

    and if u don't care about convincing me,

    then ur debate is not honorable, it is engaged with a lack of care, so
    ofc it wouldn't be honorable, and that requires care


    My goal is to keep others, who want to know, from falling into your lies.

    YOU, not willing to define your terms, are the unhonerable one.

    Yes, people say he did it, because he established the method

    i don't see any indication that turing realized a difference there


    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you can make the
    diagonal, and thus the anti-diagonal. The problem is you can't make that enumeration, and assuming you can just shows unsoundness.

    interestingly: one can only fix the direct diagonal computation like this

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti-diagonal computation.
    it's not possible hard code a machine to return an inverted value, a
    machine can only return what it does, not the inverse of what it does...

    so if we can filter out paradoxes from the enumeration, that will leave
    a direct diagonal computation extant in that filtered (yet still turing complete list), while any attempt to compute an inverse diagonal will not be

    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal computation
    does not actually then imply the existence of an anti-diagonal
    computation, due the same particular self-referential weirdness that
    stumped turing the first place

    ...which u won't find interesting, but i can't fix a lack of curiosity

    I'll get to it sooner then, because it's mad. Are you sure he didn't
    reason quantified over all but phrase it like a procedure for what he

    the theory of computation is the theory of such procedures, and
    understanding the diagonal procedure is critical to understanding the
    *base* contradiction/paradox that the rest of his support for godel's
    result is then built on

    And focusing on what is said to be impossible and not changing the
    problem is also important.

    The problem with the diagonal generation isn't the generation of the
    diagonal itself, but effectively enumerating the enumeration in the
    first place.

    i don't see any indication that turing realized a difference there

    Then you zre just showing your stupidity, because YOU can't tell the difference.

    After all, on page 246 he says:

    The computable sequences are therefore not enumerable.

    Here is is SPECIFICALLY talking about the effective enumeration of the computable sequences.

    He then points out that he can directly show that the "anti-diagonal" of
    the (non-effectively computed) enumeration can't be computed but that
    "This proof, although perfectly sound, has the disadvantage that it may
    leave the reader with a feeling that 'there must be something wrong'".

    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that the Decider
    "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate the sequence of machine
    that produce computable numbers can not esit.

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that the
    attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue with
    effectively enumerating the sequences.

    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant understanding.



    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you can make the
    diagonal, and thus the anti-diagonal. The problem is you can't make
    that enumeration, and assuming you can just shows unsoundness.

    interestingly: one can only fix the direct diagonal computation like this

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti-diagonal computation.
    it's not possible hard code a machine to return an inverted value, a
    machine can only return what it does, not the inverse of what it does...

    so if we can filter out paradoxes from the enumeration, that will leave
    a direct diagonal computation extant in that filtered (yet still turing complete list), while any attempt to compute an inverse diagonal will
    not be

    But the problem is that "paradoxical machines" don't exist in isolation,
    but only in relationship to a given machine trying to decide them.

    His specified H, with an actually (incorrect) implementation of D (which
    is all that CAN exist) will either be circle-free and thus generate a
    number (but its D said it isn't, and thus omitted a valid machine from
    the list) or it isn't circle-free, and fails to computa a number, and
    thus should have been omitted from the list but wasn't.

    Thus any H that ACTUALLY EXISTS, isn't a "paradox", it is just built on
    an assuption in error.


    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal computation
    does not actually then imply the existence of an anti-diagonal
    computation, due the same particular self-referential weirdness that
    stumped turing the first place

    But there is no actuall SELF-REFERENCE, so your logic is just based on
    ERROR.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a number that happens to represent yourself means that you you system "ALL" doesn't
    actually mean ALL, and thus is just ill-defined.


    ...which u won't find interesting, but i can't fix a lack of curiosity

    🤷



    expected was an inexpert audience, supposing that experts will
    recognise
    the relevant mapping to universal quantification?





    This just shows that you real problem is you don't understand what the
    actual problem is, and your world is just build on things that are lies.

    IT seems that fundamentally, your world doesn't actually have
    "computations" as you don't understand the basic requirement that they

    No, YOU are wrong, as you don't understand what is being done.

    I think he is refering he to the standard anti-diagonal arguement, which
    shows that since for all n, position n differs from the value in number
    n, there can not be any element that matches the anti-diagonal.

    It is just a natural fact of countable infinity, something it seems you
    just don't understand.

    Show how that is actually wrong.


    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,

    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across the computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and thus
    you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute
    computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the other
    machines, including his original H that doesn't use your "trick"




    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that the
    Decider "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate the sequence
    of machine that produce computable numbers can not esit.

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that the
    attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue with
    effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for computing the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on his
    given H.

    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it will
    still error on Turing's H.

    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will
    compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL be
    circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus DOES
    produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you H
    tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order, you WILL
    hit these actual machines built on your erroneous D (your D must have
    this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus you will be wrong on THAT
    input. IT doesn't matter if you get a good answer for yourself.


    idk what he would have said about it, but prolly something more
    substantial than just calling me ignorant repeatedly

    I doubt it.

    He likely would have gotten frustrated by your idiodic assertion of bad
    logic. You would have likely been escorted out of the meeting as showing
    you were unqualified and being a distraction.



    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant understanding.



    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you can make the

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti-diagonal

    inverse of what it does...

    Right, which he shows can not be done.


    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable as satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those that are
    but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will not be
    complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it will
    be asked about all machines as it counts through all the descriptions)
    and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable
    numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which either *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in regards to *any*
    machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of the computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with said machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /computable numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done, since ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't do what you
    want to do.


    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical
    machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without such
    paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a definable
    property (let alone computable). Part of the problem is that if you look
    at just a machine description, it doesn't (necessarily) tell you about
    the use of an "interface" as that use of an interface can be just
    inlined, leaving nothing "in the code" to show it exists.




    His specified H, with an actually (incorrect) implementation of D
    (which is all that CAN exist) will either be circle-free and thus
    generate a number (but its D said it isn't, and thus omitted a valid
    machine from the list) or it isn't circle-free, and fails to computa a

    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that directly
    refers to yourself, as a "self-reference" ???

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have
    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different numbers.

    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs, but
    doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number" doesn't
    actually fully identify the problematic cases.



    dear future: u see this shit i'm trying work with???? sorry i didn't
    manage to make progress any faster, but i'm literally dragging toddlers kicking and screaming at this point jeez...


    In other words, in your world "ALL" isn't a word that can actually be used.

    I will stand by my statement, that NOW, *MOST* AI is not based on Proof

    AI GENERATION IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO AUTOMATED PROOFS???

    "AI Generated Slop", which most certainly was talking about such systems.


    Currently "AI Generation" is not normally refering to the various forms
    of Reasoning or Proof Solving, but Generative AI which *IS* this sort of "Neuron" Based logic.

    It does NOT normally mean automated proof finding or reasoning, but
    perhaps some day those will get back to being more important topics when
    then hype over the neural networks trained by machine learning models
    goes away because we actually learn the limitations (and dangers) of
    such methods.

    Why don't you point out to Dart that is claim that CS has abandoned the concept of correctness proofing because "it has been proven impossible",
    if you think that is still a core concept?

    i don't see any indication that turing realized a difference there

    Then you zre just showing your stupidity, because YOU can't tell the
    difference.

    After all, on page 246 he says:

    The computable sequences are therefore not enumerable.

    Here is is SPECIFICALLY talking about the effective enumeration of
    the computable sequences.

    He then points out that he can directly show that the "anti-diagonal"
    of the (non-effectively computed) enumeration can't be computed but
    that "This proof, although perfectly sound, has the disadvantage that
    it may leave the reader with a feeling that 'there must be something
    wrong'".

    it is wrong,

    No, YOU are wrong, as you don't understand what is being done.

    I think he is refering he to the standard anti-diagonal arguement, which shows that since for all n, position n differs from the value in number
    n, there can not be any element that matches the anti-diagonal.

    It is just a natural fact of countable infinity, something it seems you
    just don't understand.

    Show how that is actually wrong.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's short
    diagonal proof, but in writing this post i now find myself in a subtle,
    yet entirely critical disagreement:

    /let an be the n-th computable sequence, and let φn(m) be the m-th
    figure in an. Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th. figure.
    Since β is computable, there exists a number K [== β] such that 1-φn(n)
    = φK(n) for all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 = 2φK(K), i.e. 1 is even.
    This is impossible/

    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is
    computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal using the
    direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look simple, but this ignores the complexities of self-referential analysis (like what turing details on the next page)

    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the direct
    diagonal (either (1) filtering TMs or (2) using RTMs), neither can be
    used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    in (1) the algo to compute an inverse diagonal is filtered out like
    turing's paradoxical variation of the direct diagonal would be, and
    there is no analogous non-paradoxical variation that has a hard coded
    value that is inverse to what it does return ... such a concept is
    entirely nonsensical. a function can only return what it does, it can't
    also return the inverse to what it returns eh???

    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just fails
    for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo urself (p7 of
    re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th/

    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually computable given
    the direct diagonal φn()

    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across the
    computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and thus
    you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute
    computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not computable,
    i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the other
    machines, including his original H that doesn't use your "trick"




    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that the
    Decider "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate the sequence
    of machine that produce computable numbers can not esit.

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that the
    attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue with
    effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for computing
    the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on his
    given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide correctly
    on H to compute a diagonal


    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it will
    still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't specify
    what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /undecidable input/ of
    H, so therefore both D and H are an incomplete specifications of a machine


    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will
    compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL be
    circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus DOES
    produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you H
    tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order, you WILL
    hit these actual machines built on your erroneous D (your D must have
    this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus you will be wrong on THAT input. IT doesn't matter if you get a good answer for yourself.


    idk what he would have said about it, but prolly something more
    substantial than just calling me ignorant repeatedly

    I doubt it.

    He likely would have gotten frustrated by your idiodic assertion of bad logic. You would have likely been escorted out of the meeting as showing
    you were unqualified and being a distraction.



    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant understanding.



    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you can make the
    diagonal, and thus the anti-diagonal. The problem is you can't make >>>>> that enumeration, and assuming you can just shows unsoundness.

    interestingly: one can only fix the direct diagonal computation like
    this

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti-diagonal
    computation. it's not possible hard code a machine to return an
    inverted value, a machine can only return what it does, not the
    inverse of what it does...

    so if we can filter out paradoxes from the enumeration, that will
    leave a direct diagonal computation extant in that filtered (yet
    still turing complete list), while any attempt to compute an inverse
    diagonal will not be

    But the problem is that "paradoxical machines" don't exist in
    isolation, but only in relationship to a given machine trying to
    decide them.

    right. so if ur constructing a diagonal across computable numbers then
    u only need to filter out paradoxes in regards to the classifier that
    classifies them as a "satisfactory" number

    Right, which he shows can not be done.

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out such paradoxes...

    (also why do always just make random assertions???)



    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable as
    satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those that are
    but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will not be
    complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it will
    be asked about all machines as it counts through all the descriptions)
    and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable
    numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which either
    *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in regards to
    *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of the computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with said
    machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /computable numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done, since ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't do what you
    want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is not the
    same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines that compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a) does not
    need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    (b) probably can't be done with TMs



    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical
    machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without such
    paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a definable property (let alone computable). Part of the problem is that if you look
    at just a machine description, it doesn't (necessarily) tell you about
    the use of an "interface" as that use of an interface can be just
    inlined, leaving nothing "in the code" to show it exists.

    i'm sorry, are you actually saying the machine description does not
    describe what the machine does???

    lol





    His specified H, with an actually (incorrect) implementation of D
    (which is all that CAN exist) will either be circle-free and thus
    generate a number (but its D said it isn't, and thus omitted a valid
    machine from the list) or it isn't circle-free, and fails to computa
    a number, and thus should have been omitted from the list but wasn't.

    Thus any H that ACTUALLY EXISTS, isn't a "paradox", it is just built
    on an assuption in error.


    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal computation
    does not actually then imply the existence of an anti-diagonal
    computation, due the same particular self-referential weirdness that
    stumped turing the first place

    But there is no actuall SELF-REFERENCE, so your logic is just based
    on ERROR.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a number
    that happens to represent yourself means that you you system "ALL"
    doesn't actually mean ALL, and thus is just ill-defined.

    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that directly
    refers to yourself, as a "self-reference" ???

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have

    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine encoded
    into it, it's not "just" a number whatever that means

    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not
    self-references


    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs, but
    doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number" doesn't
    actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the paradox
    detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating an actual problem

    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an input classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in regards to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

    und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

    paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier like
    such:

    undp = () -> {
    if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
    if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
    }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case doesn't
    run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine is necessary for the particular input->output computation being done, so utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to filter out paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes will suffice to
    produce a turing complete subset of machines that can be totally
    classified by halts()

    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an expectation
    of a certain cleanliness in the logic as being the only possibility here
    to compute what we want. TM's can't achieve that, but something slightly messier can.




    dear future: u see this shit i'm trying work with???? sorry i didn't
    manage to make progress any faster, but i'm literally dragging
    toddlers kicking and screaming at this point jeez...


    In other words, in your world "ALL" isn't a word that can actually be used.

    You don't understand that you need to use actual sound logic,

    lol, i can only 🙏 someone would engage in sound logic with me





    ...which u won't find interesting, but i can't fix a lack of curiosity >>>>
    🤷



    expected was an inexpert audience, supposing that experts will
    recognise
    the relevant mapping to universal quantification?





    This just shows that you real problem is you don't understand what
    the actual problem is, and your world is just build on things that
    are lies.

    IT seems that fundamentally, your world doesn't actually have
    "computations" as you don't understand the basic requirement that
    they need to be fully defined in the actions they do.

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the

    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across the

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and
    thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute
    computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not
    computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the other

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for computing

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on his
    given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide correctly

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out such paradoxes...

    (also why do always just make random assertions???)



    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable as
    satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those that
    are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will not be
    complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it
    will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable
    numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which either
    *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in regards to
    *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of the
    computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with said
    machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /computable numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done, since
    ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't do what
    you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is not the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines that compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a) does not
    need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    (b) probably can't be done with TMs



    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical
    machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without such
    paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a definable
    property (let alone computable). Part of the problem is that if you
    look at just a machine description, it doesn't (necessarily) tell you
    about the use of an "interface" as that use of an interface can be
    just inlined, leaving nothing "in the code" to show it exists.

    i'm sorry, are you actually saying the machine description does not
    describe what the machine does???

    lol





    His specified H, with an actually (incorrect) implementation of D
    (which is all that CAN exist) will either be circle-free and thus
    generate a number (but its D said it isn't, and thus omitted a valid
    machine from the list) or it isn't circle-free, and fails to computa
    a number, and thus should have been omitted from the list but wasn't.

    Thus any H that ACTUALLY EXISTS, isn't a "paradox", it is just built
    on an assuption in error.


    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal
    computation does not actually then imply the existence of an anti-
    diagonal computation, due the same particular self-referential
    weirdness that stumped turing the first place

    But there is no actuall SELF-REFERENCE, so your logic is just based
    on ERROR.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a number
    that happens to represent yourself means that you you system "ALL"
    doesn't actually mean ALL, and thus is just ill-defined.

    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that directly
    refers to yourself, as a "self-reference" ???

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have

    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine encoded
    into it, it's not "just" a number whatever that means

    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not self- references


    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs, but
    doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number" doesn't
    actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the paradox detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating an actual
    problem

    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an input classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in regards to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

      und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

      paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier like such:

      undp = () -> {
        if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
          if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
      }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case doesn't
    run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine is necessary for the particular input->output computation being done, so utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to filter out paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes will suffice to produce a turing complete subset of machines that can be totally
    classified by halts()

    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an expectation
    of a certain cleanliness in the logic as being the only possibility here
    to compute what we want. TM's can't achieve that, but something slightly messier can.

    i can definitely make this proof more convincing by putting it in more
    general terms





    dear future: u see this shit i'm trying work with???? sorry i didn't
    manage to make progress any faster, but i'm literally dragging
    toddlers kicking and screaming at this point jeez...


    In other words, in your world "ALL" isn't a word that can actually be
    used.

    You don't understand that you need to use actual sound logic,

    lol, i can only 🙏 someone would engage in sound logic with me

    IT seems that fundamentally, your world doesn't actually have

    And focusing on what is said to be impossible and not changing the >>>>>> problem is also important.

    The problem with the diagonal generation isn't the generation of
    the diagonal itself, but effectively enumerating the enumeration
    in the first place.

    i don't see any indication that turing realized a difference there

    Then you zre just showing your stupidity, because YOU can't tell the
    difference.

    After all, on page 246 he says:

    The computable sequences are therefore not enumerable.

    Here is is SPECIFICALLY talking about the effective enumeration of
    the computable sequences.

    He then points out that he can directly show that the "anti-
    diagonal" of the (non-effectively computed) enumeration can't be
    computed but that "This proof, although perfectly sound, has the
    disadvantage that it may leave the reader with a feeling that 'there
    must be something wrong'".

    it is wrong,

    No, YOU are wrong, as you don't understand what is being done.

    I think he is refering he to the standard anti-diagonal arguement,
    which shows that since for all n, position n differs from the value in
    number n, there can not be any element that matches the anti-diagonal.

    It is just a natural fact of countable infinity, something it seems
    you just don't understand.

    Show how that is actually wrong.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's short
    diagonal proof, but in writing this post i now find myself in a subtle,
    yet entirely critical disagreement:

    /let an be the n-th computable sequence, and let φn(m) be the m-th
    figure in an. Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th. figure. Since β is computable, there exists a number K [== β] such that 1-φn(n)
    = φK(n) for all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 = 2φK(K), i.e. 1 is even.
    This is impossible/

    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is
    computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal using the direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look simple, but this ignores the complexities of self-referential analysis (like what turing details on the next page)

    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the direct diagonal (either (1) filtering TMs or (2) using RTMs), neither can be
    used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    in (1) the algo to compute an inverse diagonal is filtered out like
    turing's paradoxical variation of the direct diagonal would be, and
    there is no analogous non-paradoxical variation that has a hard coded
    value that is inverse to what it does return ... such a concept is
    entirely nonsensical. a function can only return what it does, it can't
    also return the inverse to what it returns eh???

    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just fails
    for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo urself (p7 of
    re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th/

    that sentence there, ben, from p246,

    is the sentence of turing's paper /on computable numbers/ that i start
    to diagree with,

    that sentence just is wrong to imply anything about the computability of
    a number

    /there exists a number K [== β] such that 1-φn(n)
    = φK(n) for all n/

    and that sentence is *only* /half-true/

    it's *correct* in that can't be computed by a TM,

    whoever a human with a TM could still write it down, but a human could
    never pass that input entirely to a finite running machine eh???

    so i kinda think the ct-thesis is actually cooked in a way

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually computable given the direct diagonal φn()

    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across the
    computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and
    thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute
    computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not
    computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the other
    machines, including his original H that doesn't use your "trick"




    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that the
    Decider "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate the sequence
    of machine that produce computable numbers can not esit.

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that the
    attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue with
    effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for computing
    the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on his
    given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide correctly
    on H to compute a diagonal


    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it will
    still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /undecidable input/ of
    H, so therefore both D and H are an incomplete specifications of a machine


    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will
    compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL be
    circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus DOES
    produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you H
    tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order, you
    WILL hit these actual machines built on your erroneous D (your D must
    have this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus you will be wrong on
    THAT input. IT doesn't matter if you get a good answer for yourself.


    idk what he would have said about it, but prolly something more
    substantial than just calling me ignorant repeatedly

    I doubt it.

    He likely would have gotten frustrated by your idiodic assertion of
    bad logic. You would have likely been escorted out of the meeting as
    showing you were unqualified and being a distraction.



    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant understanding.



    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you can make the >>>>>> diagonal, and thus the anti-diagonal. The problem is you can't
    make that enumeration, and assuming you can just shows unsoundness. >>>>>
    interestingly: one can only fix the direct diagonal computation
    like this

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti-diagonal
    computation. it's not possible hard code a machine to return an
    inverted value, a machine can only return what it does, not the
    inverse of what it does...

    so if we can filter out paradoxes from the enumeration, that will
    leave a direct diagonal computation extant in that filtered (yet
    still turing complete list), while any attempt to compute an
    inverse diagonal will not be

    But the problem is that "paradoxical machines" don't exist in
    isolation, but only in relationship to a given machine trying to
    decide them.

    right. so if ur constructing a diagonal across computable numbers
    then u only need to filter out paradoxes in regards to the classifier
    that classifies them as a "satisfactory" number

    Right, which he shows can not be done.

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out such paradoxes...

    (also why do always just make random assertions???)



    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable as
    satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those that
    are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will not be
    complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it
    will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable
    numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which either
    *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in regards to
    *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of the
    computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with said
    machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /computable numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done, since
    ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't do what
    you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is not the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines that compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a) does not
    need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b)

    difference.

    After all, on page 246 he says:

    The computable sequences are therefore not enumerable.

    Here is is SPECIFICALLY talking about the effective enumeration of
    the computable sequences.

    He then points out that he can directly show that the "anti-
    diagonal" of the (non-effectively computed) enumeration can't be
    computed but that "This proof, although perfectly sound, has the
    disadvantage that it may leave the reader with a feeling that 'there
    must be something wrong'".

    it is wrong,

    No, YOU are wrong, as you don't understand what is being done.

    I think he is refering he to the standard anti-diagonal arguement,
    which shows that since for all n, position n differs from the value in
    number n, there can not be any element that matches the anti-diagonal.

    It is just a natural fact of countable infinity, something it seems
    you just don't understand.

    Show how that is actually wrong.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's short
    diagonal proof, but in writing this post i now find myself in a subtle,
    yet entirely critical disagreement:

    /let an be the n-th computable sequence, and let φn(m) be the m-th
    figure in an. Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th. figure. Since β is computable, there exists a number K [== β] such that 1-φn(n)
    = φK(n) for all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 = 2φK(K), i.e. 1 is even.
    This is impossible/

    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is
    computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal using the direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look simple, but this ignores the complexities of self-referential analysis (like what turing details on the next page)

    But you can, *IF* you have a machine that computes the diagonal, then
    just change all the write to the output to write the opposite. Note, the "self-reference" that you are thinking of stops being a "self-reference"
    but is a reference to the original write the diagonal code.


    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the direct diagonal (either (1) filtering TMs or (2) using RTMs), neither can be
    used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    Nope, because your filtering TM (or RTM) will still fail when it gets to
    the number of TURING'S H, as there is no correct answer for the machine
    built by that template.


    in (1) the algo to compute an inverse diagonal is filtered out like
    turing's paradoxical variation of the direct diagonal would be, and
    there is no analogous non-paradoxical variation that has a hard coded
    value that is inverse to what it does return ... such a concept is
    entirely nonsensical. a function can only return what it does, it can't
    also return the inverse to what it returns eh???

    But, if D filters it out, then it becomes circle-free, and thus your enumeration is incomlete.


    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just fails
    for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo urself (p7 of
    re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th/

    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually computable given the direct diagonal φn()

    And why not. The fact that you are too ignorant to see how to do that,
    as you are thinking the only "reference" can be to "self", doesn't make
    you argument correct.


    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across the
    computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and
    thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute
    computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not
    computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the other
    machines, including his original H that doesn't use your "trick"




    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that the
    Decider "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate the sequence
    of machine that produce computable numbers can not esit.

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that the
    attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue with
    effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for computing
    the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on his
    given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide correctly
    on H to compute a diagonal

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    YOUR H still needs to know if Turing's H is a machine that generates a computable number to build the list of such machine to define the
    diagonal to conpute.

    You seem to not understand the meaning of ALL.



    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it will
    still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /undecidable input/ of
    H, so therefore both D and H are an incomplete specifications of a machine

    Because "undecidability" doesn't affect the correct answer it must compute.

    Note, H, when it becomes an actual machine, because we have created an
    actual machine we claim to be the D, has an answer, and that D is always wrong.

    Thus, it isn't that machines claiming to be D and H can't exist, only
    machines CORRECTLY meeting the requirements of D and H can't exist.

    Thus, if your H depends on that D, (or a machine that meets its
    specification) then it also can't exist.

    You just make the error of saying the problems don't exist because you
    can't build them, but YOUR machine can, even though it has the same problem.



    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will
    compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL be
    circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus DOES
    produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you H
    tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order, you
    WILL hit these actual machines built on your erroneous D (your D must
    have this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus you will be wrong on
    THAT input. IT doesn't matter if you get a good answer for yourself.


    idk what he would have said about it, but prolly something more
    substantial than just calling me ignorant repeatedly

    I doubt it.

    He likely would have gotten frustrated by your idiodic assertion of
    bad logic. You would have likely been escorted out of the meeting as
    showing you were unqualified and being a distraction.



    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant understanding.



    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you can make the >>>>>> diagonal, and thus the anti-diagonal. The problem is you can't
    make that enumeration, and assuming you can just shows unsoundness. >>>>>
    interestingly: one can only fix the direct diagonal computation
    like this

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti-diagonal
    computation. it's not possible hard code a machine to return an
    inverted value, a machine can only return what it does, not the
    inverse of what it does...

    so if we can filter out paradoxes from the enumeration, that will
    leave a direct diagonal computation extant in that filtered (yet
    still turing complete list), while any attempt to compute an
    inverse diagonal will not be

    But the problem is that "paradoxical machines" don't exist in
    isolation, but only in relationship to a given machine trying to
    decide them.

    right. so if ur constructing a diagonal across computable numbers
    then u only need to filter out paradoxes in regards to the classifier
    that classifies them as a "satisfactory" number

    Right, which he shows can not be done.

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out such paradoxes...

    In other words, you beleive unquestionably in the existance of Russle's
    teapot until someone can prove it doesn't exist.

    For THIS paradox, read the proof. for THIS H, the one given, (for which
    ever version of D you want to try to assume is right) D is just wrong.

    Thus, it doesn't matter if D can somehow "detect" the paradox, because
    there still isn't an answer it can give to H that will be correct, as
    the template for H will always make that D wrong.

    Note, the problem is you can't actually DEFINE what a "paradox machine"
    is, as they aren't actually machines, but templates that build machines.
    And that final machine doesn't have actually detectable tell-tales that
    show it to be from that template.


    (also why do always just make random assertions???)

    Because I am smart, and know what I am talking about.

    They only seem "random" because you don't know what you are talking
    about and believe in unicorns (and teapots)




    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable as
    satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those that
    are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will not be
    complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it
    will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable
    numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which either
    *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in regards to
    *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of the
    computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with said
    machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /computable numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done, since
    ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't do what
    you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is not the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines that compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a) does not
    need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    Nope, as your (a) needs the machine D, which lets you filter the full
    list of machibe, which Turing showed can't exist.

    The problem is such a machine can't handle the classification of the H
    he describes. It doesn't matter that you can make a DIFFERENT machine,
    that you try to deceptively call "H" too that it won't have a problem
    with, when your "H" gets to the number of Turing's H, it still has the problem. It can call that one not circle-free, and thus omit a
    circle-free machine from the list, or call it circle-free, and when even
    YOU try to simulate it the k steps, you get stuck in a loop.


    (b) probably can't be done with TMs

    But if you can do (a), you can do (b). You just need to take the code
    of (a), and invert the symbol put on the tape when it is written. Note,
    it won't be "self-referent", as the "N" is uses, is the N of YOUR H, not itself. The code for his (a) NEVER reads back what it wrote, so that
    doesn't affect its behavior.




    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical
    machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without such
    paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a definable
    property (let alone computable). Part of the problem is that if you
    look at just a machine description, it doesn't (necessarily) tell you
    about the use of an "interface" as that use of an interface can be
    just inlined, leaving nothing "in the code" to show it exists.

    i'm sorry, are you actually saying the machine description does not
    describe what the machine does???


    No, that "paradoxical" isn't a definable property of a machine.


    lol





    His specified H, with an actually (incorrect) implementation of D
    (which is all that CAN exist) will either be circle-free and thus
    generate a number (but its D said it isn't, and thus omitted a valid
    machine from the list) or it isn't circle-free, and fails to computa
    a number, and thus should have been omitted from the list but wasn't.

    Thus any H that ACTUALLY EXISTS, isn't a "paradox", it is just built
    on an assuption in error.


    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal
    computation does not actually then imply the existence of an anti-
    diagonal computation, due the same particular self-referential
    weirdness that stumped turing the first place

    But there is no actuall SELF-REFERENCE, so your logic is just based
    on ERROR.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a number
    that happens to represent yourself means that you you system "ALL"
    doesn't actually mean ALL, and thus is just ill-defined.

    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that directly
    refers to yourself, as a "self-reference" ???

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have

    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine encoded
    into it, it's not "just" a number whatever that means




    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not self- references

    Which is why the concept of "self-reference" doesn't work.



    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs, but
    doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number" doesn't
    actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the paradox detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating an actual
    problem

    Then show how you will do it.

    This means you need to detect a input that represents a machine that
    uses a computation equivalent to yourself



    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an input classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in regards to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    WHich doesn't exist.


    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

      und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

      paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier like such:

      undp = () -> {
        if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
          if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
      }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    And the problem is "paradox_free" can't exist as an always correct decider.


    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case doesn't
    run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine is necessary for the particular input->output computation being done, so utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to filter out paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes will suffice to produce a turing complete subset of machines that can be totally
    classified by halts()

    But we can still build an input that your paradox_free() fails on.



    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an expectation
    of a certain cleanliness in the logic as being the only possibility here
    to compute what we want. TM's can't achieve that, but something slightly messier can.

    No, it is your dependence on being able to assume that unicorns can
    solve all your problems.






    dear future: u see this shit i'm trying work with???? sorry i didn't
    manage to make progress any faster, but i'm literally dragging
    toddlers kicking and screaming at this point jeez...


    In other words, in your world "ALL" isn't a word that can actually be
    used.

    You don't understand that you need to use actual sound logic,

    lol, i can only 🙏 someone would engage in sound logic with me

    They are, But you are too stuck in your lies to see it.

    Your "logic" is based on being able to assume that Unicorn's exist, and
    that is a safe assumption until someone can prove that Russel's Teapot
    is not out there. (Even though your unicorns HAVE been proved to not exist).

    You are just proving your utter stupidity.

    This just shows that you real problem is you don't understand what

    IT seems that fundamentally, your world doesn't actually have

    Show how that is actually wrong.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's short

    to diagree with,

    that sentence just is wrong to imply anything about the computability of
    a number

    /there exists a number K [== β] such that 1-φn(n)
    = φK(n) for all n/

    and that sentence is *only* /half-true/

    it's *correct* in that can't be computed by a TM,

    whoever a human with a TM could still write it down, but a human could
    never pass that input entirely to a finite running machine eh???

    so i kinda think the ct-thesis is actually cooked in a way

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


    Actually, the problem is that a computation machine can't write the
    array of numbers in the first place, even given infinite time, because
    it is uncomputable.

    Nor can a person, as people can only do finite work, and the array is infinite.

    The point is that for the proof, we can assume, by the axiom of choice,
    that such a enumeration exists, but we can't assume that a computation
    can make it.

    It seems you don't understand that difference.

    We can imagine it, and even define how it is created, but it turns out
    that method needs some "non-computational" steps, like classifying
    machines by a non-computable classification.



    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually computable
    given the direct diagonal φn()

    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across the
    computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and
    thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute
    computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not
    computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide
    correctly on H to compute a diagonal


    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it
    will still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't
    specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /undecidable
    input/ of H, so therefore both D and H are an incomplete
    specifications of a machine


    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will
    compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL be
    circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus DOES
    produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you H
    tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order, you
    WILL hit these actual machines built on your erroneous D (your D must
    have this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus you will be wrong
    on THAT input. IT doesn't matter if you get a good answer for yourself.


    idk what he would have said about it, but prolly something more
    substantial than just calling me ignorant repeatedly

    I doubt it.

    He likely would have gotten frustrated by your idiodic assertion of
    bad logic. You would have likely been escorted out of the meeting as
    showing you were unqualified and being a distraction.



    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant understanding.



    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you can make the >>>>>>> diagonal, and thus the anti-diagonal. The problem is you can't
    make that enumeration, and assuming you can just shows unsoundness. >>>>>>
    interestingly: one can only fix the direct diagonal computation
    like this

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti-diagonal
    computation. it's not possible hard code a machine to return an
    inverted value, a machine can only return what it does, not the
    inverse of what it does...

    so if we can filter out paradoxes from the enumeration, that will >>>>>> leave a direct diagonal computation extant in that filtered (yet
    still turing complete list), while any attempt to compute an
    inverse diagonal will not be

    But the problem is that "paradoxical machines" don't exist in
    isolation, but only in relationship to a given machine trying to
    decide them.

    right. so if ur constructing a diagonal across computable numbers
    then u only need to filter out paradoxes in regards to the
    classifier that classifies them as a "satisfactory" number

    Right, which he shows can not be done.

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out such paradoxes...

    (also why do always just make random assertions???)



    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable
    as satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those that
    are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will not be
    complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it
    will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable
    numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which either
    *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in regards to
    *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of
    the computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with said
    machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /computable
    numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done, since
    ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't do what
    you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is not
    the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines that
    compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a)
    does not need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    (b) probably can't be done with TMs



    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical
    machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without such
    paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a definable
    property (let alone computable). Part of the problem is that if you
    look at just a machine description, it doesn't (necessarily) tell you
    about the use of an "interface" as that use of an interface can be
    just inlined, leaving nothing "in the code" to show it exists.

    i'm sorry, are you actually saying the machine description does not
    describe what the machine does???

    lol





    His specified H, with an actually (incorrect) implementation of D
    (which is all that CAN exist) will either be circle-free and thus
    generate a number (but its D said it isn't, and thus omitted a
    valid machine from the list) or it isn't circle-free, and fails to
    computa a number, and thus should have been omitted from the list
    but wasn't.

    Thus any H that ACTUALLY EXISTS, isn't a "paradox", it is just
    built on an assuption in error.


    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal
    computation does not actually then imply the existence of an anti- >>>>>> diagonal computation, due the same particular self-referential
    weirdness that stumped turing the first place

    But there is no actuall SELF-REFERENCE, so your logic is just based >>>>> on ERROR.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a number >>>>> that happens to represent yourself means that you you system "ALL"
    doesn't actually mean ALL, and thus is just ill-defined.

    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that directly
    refers to yourself, as a "self-reference" ???

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have

    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine
    encoded into it, it's not "just" a number whatever that means

    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not self-
    references


    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs, but
    doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number" doesn't
    actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the paradox
    detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating an actual
    problem

    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an input
    classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in regards
    to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

       und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

       paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier
    like such:

       undp = () -> {
         if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
           if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
       }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case
    doesn't run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine is
    necessary for the particular input->output computation being done, so
    utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to filter out
    paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes will suffice to
    produce a turing complete subset of machines that can be totally
    classified by halts()

    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an
    expectation of a certain cleanliness in the logic as being the only
    possibility here to compute what we want. TM's can't achieve that, but
    something slightly messier can.




    dear future: u see this shit i'm trying work with???? sorry i didn't
    manage to make progress any faster, but i'm literally dragging
    toddlers kicking and screaming at this point jeez...


    In other words, in your world "ALL" isn't a word that can actually be
    used.

    You don't understand that you need to use actual sound logic,

    lol, i can only 🙏 someone would engage in sound logic with me





    ...which u won't find interesting, but i can't fix a lack of
    curiosity

    🤷



    expected was an inexpert audience, supposing that experts will >>>>>>>>> recognise
    the relevant mapping to universal quantification?





    This just shows that you real problem is you don't understand what
    the actual problem is, and your world is just build on things that
    are lies.

    IT seems that fundamentally, your world doesn't actually have
    "computations" as you don't understand the basic requirement that
    they need to be fully defined in the actions they do.

    i don't see any indication that turing realized a difference there

    Then you zre just showing your stupidity, because YOU can't tell
    the difference.

    After all, on page 246 he says:

    The computable sequences are therefore not enumerable.

    Here is is SPECIFICALLY talking about the effective enumeration of
    the computable sequences.

    He then points out that he can directly show that the "anti-
    diagonal" of the (non-effectively computed) enumeration can't be
    computed but that "This proof, although perfectly sound, has the
    disadvantage that it may leave the reader with a feeling that
    'there must be something wrong'".

    it is wrong,

    No, YOU are wrong, as you don't understand what is being done.

    I think he is refering he to the standard anti-diagonal arguement,
    which shows that since for all n, position n differs from the value
    in number n, there can not be any element that matches the anti-
    diagonal.

    It is just a natural fact of countable infinity, something it seems
    you just don't understand.

    Show how that is actually wrong.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's short
    diagonal proof, but in writing this post i now find myself in a
    subtle, yet entirely critical disagreement:

    /let an be the n-th computable sequence, and let φn(m) be the m-th
    figure in an. Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th. figure.
    Since β is computable, there exists a number K [== β] such that 1-
    φn(n) = φK(n) for all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 = 2φK(K), i.e. 1 is
    even. This is impossible/

    i agree with this proof is far as much as if β was computable (by TMs)
    we'd have a problem for sure,

    but what i don't agree is that we can just assume the computability of β
    from the existence of φn(m), THAT'S THE FALLACy


    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is
    computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal using the
    direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look simple, but
    this ignores the complexities of self-referential analysis (like what
    turing details on the next page)

    But you can, *IF* you have a machine that computes the diagonal, then
    just change all the write to the output to write the opposite. Note, the "self-reference" that you are thinking of stops being a "self-reference"
    but is a reference to the original write the diagonal code.


    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the direct
    diagonal (either (1) filtering TMs or (2) using RTMs), neither can be
    used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    Nope, because your filtering TM (or RTM) will still fail when it gets to
    the number of TURING'S H, as there is no correct answer for the machine built by that template.

    TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H DOESN'T EXIST, IT'S AN INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION

    (is that where H comes from??? _H_ypothetical???)



    in (1) the algo to compute an inverse diagonal is filtered out like
    turing's paradoxical variation of the direct diagonal would be, and
    there is no analogous non-paradoxical variation that has a hard coded
    value that is inverse to what it does return ... such a concept is
    entirely nonsensical. a function can only return what it does, it
    can't also return the inverse to what it returns eh???

    But, if D filters it out, then it becomes circle-free, and thus your enumeration is incomlete.

    THE ANTI-DIAGONAL IS *NOT* A COMPUTABLE NUMBER BY TMs, SO IT *SHOULD* BE FILTERED OUT



    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just fails
    for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo urself (p7 of
    re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th/

    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually computable
    given the direct diagonal φn()

    And why not. The fact that you are too ignorant to see how to do that,
    as you are thinking the only "reference" can be to "self", doesn't make
    you argument correct.

    BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CAPTURE THE NUANCES INVOLVED WITH SELF-REFERENCE,
    LIKE THE PARADOX FOUND IN TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H

    NEITHER METHOD I'VE HYPOTHESIZED ABOUT AN EXTANT H ALLOWS FOR INVERSE-H
    TO BE COMPUTED



    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across the
    computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and
    thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute
    computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not
    computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the other
    machines, including his original H that doesn't use your "trick"




    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that the
    Decider "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate the
    sequence of machine that produce computable numbers can not esit.

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that the >>>>> attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue with
    effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for computing
    the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on his
    given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide
    correctly on H to compute a diagonal

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT WOULDN'T BE
    USED


    YOUR H still needs to know if Turing's H is a machine that generates a computable number to build the list of such machine to define the
    diagonal to compute.

    TURING'S H DOESN'T EXIST. TURING'S D DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. BOTH ARE
    INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS.

    THE FIXED H DIAGONAL WOULD USE A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER D, WHICH WILL WORK
    JUST FINE ON THE ENUMERATION THAT HAS /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ TO D FILTERED
    FROM IT


    You seem to not understand the meaning of ALL.

    ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS =/= ALL MACHINES THAT COMPUTE COMPUTABLE NUMBERS




    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it
    will still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't
    specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /undecidable
    input/ of H, so therefore both D and H are an incomplete
    specifications of a machine

    Because "undecidability" doesn't affect the correct answer it must compute.

    THE SPACE OF TMs MACHINE IS NOT A PERFECT COMPUTATIONAL SPACE LIKE
    THEORY KEEPS CONFLATING IT WITH, IT HAS CERTAIN IDIOSYNCRASIES, AND IT
    CANNOT COMPUTE EVERYTHING THAT IS COMPUTABLE

    THE DECIDER THAT TURING HYPOTHESIZED _DOES NOT EXIST_, BECAUSE IT DOES
    NOT HANDLE THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF SELF-REFERENTIAL ANALYSIS, SO IT IS AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ OF A TM

    THAT IS THE *ACTUAL* REASON IT DOES NOT EXIST.


    Note, H, when it becomes an actual machine, because we have created an actual machine we claim to be the D, has an answer, and that D is always wrong.

    Thus, it isn't that machines claiming to be D and H can't exist, only machines CORRECTLY meeting the requirements of D and H can't exist.

    Thus, if your H depends on that D, (or a machine that meets its specification) then it also can't exist.

    You just make the error of saying the problems don't exist because you
    can't build them, but YOUR machine can, even though it has the same
    problem.



    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will
    compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL be
    circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus DOES
    produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you H
    tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order, you
    WILL hit these actual machines built on your erroneous D (your D must
    have this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus you will be wrong
    on THAT input. IT doesn't matter if you get a good answer for yourself.

    In other words, you beleive unquestionably in the existance of Russle's teapot until someone can prove it doesn't exist.

    BRO U LITERALLY CLAIMED TURING SHOWS FILTERING OUT PARADOXES CAN'T BE
    DONE, WHERE IN THE FUCK IS THE REFERENCE U MORON???

    WHY ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT RUSSEL'S TEAPOT INSTEAD OF PROVIDING A
    FUCKING QUOTE TO TURING'S PAPER TO BACK THE *DIRECT* CLAIM YOU MADE???


    For THIS paradox, read the proof. for THIS H, the one given, (for which
    ever version of D you want to try to assume is right) D is just wrong.

    Thus, it doesn't matter if D can somehow "detect" the paradox, because
    there still isn't an answer it can give to H that will be correct, as
    the template for H will always make that D wrong.

    Note, the problem is you can't actually DEFINE what a "paradox machine"
    is, as they aren't actually machines, but templates that build machines.
    And that final machine doesn't have actually detectable tell-tales that
    show it to be from that template.


    (also why do always just make random assertions???)

    Because I am smart, and know what I am talking about.

    I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE KIND OF DISHONEST GARBAGE I HAVE TO WORK
    WITH, BUT OH WELL


    They only seem "random" because you don't know what you are talking
    about and believe in unicorns (and teapots)




    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable
    as satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those that
    are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will not be
    complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it
    will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable
    numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which either
    *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in regards to
    *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of
    the computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with said
    machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /computable
    numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done, since
    ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't do what
    you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is not
    the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines that
    compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a)
    does not need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    Nope, as your (a) needs the machine D, which lets you filter the full
    list of machibe, which Turing showed can't exist.

    The problem is such a machine can't handle the classification of the H
    he describes. It doesn't matter that you can make a DIFFERENT machine,
    that you try to deceptively call "H" too that it won't have a problem
    with, when your "H" gets to the number of Turing's H, it still has the problem. It can call that one not circle-free, and thus omit a circle-
    free machine from the list, or call it circle-free, and when even YOU
    try to simulate it the k steps, you get stuck in a loop.


    (b) probably can't be done with TMs

    But if you can do (a), you can do (b).  You just need to take the code
    of (a), and invert the symbol put on the tape when it is written. Note,
    it won't be "self-referent", as the "N" is uses, is the N of YOUR H, not itself. The code for his (a) NEVER reads back what it wrote, so that
    doesn't affect its behavior.




    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical
    machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without such
    paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a definable
    property (let alone computable). Part of the problem is that if you
    look at just a machine description, it doesn't (necessarily) tell you
    about the use of an "interface" as that use of an interface can be
    just inlined, leaving nothing "in the code" to show it exists.

    i'm sorry, are you actually saying the machine description does not
    describe what the machine does???


    No, that "paradoxical" isn't a definable property of a machine.

    und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    und() includes a structural paradoxical in relation to the classifier
    halts(), easily demonstrable thru a short proof i've done many times

    I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHY YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THAT AS A PROPERTY OF UND(), BESIDES LITERAL BRAIMNDEAD RELIGIOUS DEVOTION TO SOME FUCKING FORM OF
    INSANITY I CAN'T HONESTLY FATHOM



    lol





    His specified H, with an actually (incorrect) implementation of D
    (which is all that CAN exist) will either be circle-free and thus
    generate a number (but its D said it isn't, and thus omitted a
    valid machine from the list) or it isn't circle-free, and fails to
    computa a number, and thus should have been omitted from the list
    but wasn't.

    Thus any H that ACTUALLY EXISTS, isn't a "paradox", it is just
    built on an assuption in error.


    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal
    computation does not actually then imply the existence of an anti- >>>>>> diagonal computation, due the same particular self-referential
    weirdness that stumped turing the first place

    But there is no actuall SELF-REFERENCE, so your logic is just based >>>>> on ERROR.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a number >>>>> that happens to represent yourself means that you you system "ALL"
    doesn't actually mean ALL, and thus is just ill-defined.

    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that directly
    refers to yourself, as a "self-reference" ???

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have

    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine
    encoded into it, it's not "just" a number whatever that means




    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not self-
    references

    Which is why the concept of "self-reference" doesn't work.



    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs, but
    doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number" doesn't
    actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the paradox
    detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating an actual
    problem

    Then show how you will do it.

    This means you need to detect a input that represents a machine that
    uses a computation equivalent to yourself



    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an input
    classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in regards
    to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    WHich doesn't exist.


    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

       und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

       paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier
    like such:

       undp = () -> {
         if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
           if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
       }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    And the problem is "paradox_free" can't exist as an always correct decider.


    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case
    doesn't run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine is
    necessary for the particular input->output computation being done, so
    utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to filter out
    paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes will suffice to
    produce a turing complete subset of machines that can be totally
    classified by halts()

    But we can still build an input that your paradox_free() fails on.

    SO ACTUALLY DO IT??

    WHAT'S THE INPUT THAT CAUSES A FAILURE THAT ACTUALLY MUST BE INCLUDED ON
    THE DIAGONAL???





    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an
    expectation of a certain cleanliness in the logic as being the only
    possibility here to compute what we want. TM's can't achieve that, but
    something slightly messier can.

    No, it is your dependence on being able to assume that unicorns can
    solve all your problems.






    dear future: u see this shit i'm trying work with???? sorry i didn't
    manage to make progress any faster, but i'm literally dragging
    toddlers kicking and screaming at this point jeez...


    In other words, in your world "ALL" isn't a word that can actually be
    used.

    You don't understand that you need to use actual sound logic,

    lol, i can only 🙏 someone would engage in sound logic with me

    They are, But you are too stuck in your lies to see it.

    Your "logic" is based on being able to assume that Unicorn's exist, and
    that is a safe assumption until someone can prove that Russel's Teapot
    is not out there. (Even though your unicorns HAVE been proved to not
    exist).

    You are just proving your utter stupidity.

    This just shows that you real problem is you don't understand what
    the actual problem is, and your world is just build on things that
    are lies.

    IT seems that fundamentally, your world doesn't actually have
    "computations" as you don't understand the basic requirement that
    they need to be fully defined in the actions they do.

    i don't see any indication that turing realized a difference there >>>>>>
    Then you zre just showing your stupidity, because YOU can't tell
    the difference.

    After all, on page 246 he says:

    The computable sequences are therefore not enumerable.

    Here is is SPECIFICALLY talking about the effective enumeration of >>>>>> the computable sequences.

    He then points out that he can directly show that the "anti-
    diagonal" of the (non-effectively computed) enumeration can't be
    computed but that "This proof, although perfectly sound, has the
    disadvantage that it may leave the reader with a feeling that
    'there must be something wrong'".

    it is wrong,

    No, YOU are wrong, as you don't understand what is being done.

    I think he is refering he to the standard anti-diagonal arguement,
    which shows that since for all n, position n differs from the value
    in number n, there can not be any element that matches the anti-
    diagonal.

    It is just a natural fact of countable infinity, something it seems
    you just don't understand.

    Show how that is actually wrong.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's short
    diagonal proof, but in writing this post i now find myself in a
    subtle, yet entirely critical disagreement:

    /let an be the n-th computable sequence, and let φn(m) be the m-th
    figure in an. Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th. figure. >>> Since β is computable, there exists a number K [== β] such that 1-
    φn(n) = φK(n) for all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 = 2φK(K), i.e. 1 is >>> even. This is impossible/

    i agree with this proof is far as much as if β was computable (by TMs)
    we'd have a problem for sure,

    but what i don't agree is that we can just assume the computability of β from the existence of φn(m), THAT'S THE FALLACy


    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is
    computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal using
    the direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look simple,
    but this ignores the complexities of self-referential analysis (like
    what turing details on the next page)

    But you can, *IF* you have a machine that computes the diagonal, then
    just change all the write to the output to write the opposite. Note,
    the "self-reference" that you are thinking of stops being a "self-
    reference" but is a reference to the original write the diagonal code.


    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the direct
    diagonal (either (1) filtering TMs or (2) using RTMs), neither can be
    used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    Nope, because your filtering TM (or RTM) will still fail when it gets
    to the number of TURING'S H, as there is no correct answer for the
    machine built by that template.

    TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H DOESN'T EXIST, IT'S AN INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION

    (is that where H comes from??? _H_ypothetical???)



    in (1) the algo to compute an inverse diagonal is filtered out like
    turing's paradoxical variation of the direct diagonal would be, and
    there is no analogous non-paradoxical variation that has a hard coded
    value that is inverse to what it does return ... such a concept is
    entirely nonsensical. a function can only return what it does, it
    can't also return the inverse to what it returns eh???

    But, if D filters it out, then it becomes circle-free, and thus your
    enumeration is incomlete.

    THE ANTI-DIAGONAL IS *NOT* A COMPUTABLE NUMBER BY TMs, SO IT *SHOULD* BE FILTERED OUT



    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just
    fails for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo urself
    (p7 of re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th/

    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually computable
    given the direct diagonal φn()

    And why not. The fact that you are too ignorant to see how to do that,
    as you are thinking the only "reference" can be to "self", doesn't
    make you argument correct.

    BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CAPTURE THE NUANCES INVOLVED WITH SELF-REFERENCE,
    LIKE THE PARADOX FOUND IN TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H

    NEITHER METHOD I'VE HYPOTHESIZED ABOUT AN EXTANT H ALLOWS FOR INVERSE-H
    TO BE COMPUTED



    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal across
    computable numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across
    the computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and
    thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute
    computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not
    computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the other
    machines, including his original H that doesn't use your "trick"




    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that the
    Decider "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate the
    sequence of machine that produce computable numbers can not esit.

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that
    the attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue with >>>>>> effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for computing >>>>> the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on his
    given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide
    correctly on H to compute a diagonal

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT WOULDN'T BE USED

    incredibly, ironically, AND not co-incidently: partial recognizer D
    *can* decide on the fixed H because the fixed H does not try to use any
    D on itself, so no self-referential paradox is possible in regards to
    it's own digit on the diagonal

    partial_recognizer_D(fixed_H) -> TRUE

    which is a decidably TRUE return value (therefore a dependable AND
    computable value)

    the fixed H is /decidable input/ to partial recognizer D (used in fixed
    H, which does not call any D itself), and would not be filtered out by
    paradox detectors

    the fact fixed H does not use any classifier D on itself, and instead
    returns a hard-coded value for it's own digit on the diagonal, is
    keystone in making it /decidable input/ to D

    holy fuck rick idk what to tell u anymore,

    that shit is rock solid theory.

    🤷🤷🤷



    YOUR H still needs to know if Turing's H is a machine that generates a
    computable number to build the list of such machine to define the
    diagonal to compute.

    TURING'S H DOESN'T EXIST. TURING'S D DOESN'T EVEN EXIST.
    BOTH ARE INCOMPLETE INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS.>
    THE FIXED H DIAGONAL WOULD USE A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER D, WHICH WILL WORK
    JUST FINE ON THE ENUMERATION THAT HAS /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ TO D FILTERED
    FROM IT


    You seem to not understand the meaning of ALL.

    ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS =/= ALL MACHINES THAT COMPUTE COMPUTABLE NUMBERS




    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it
    will still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't
    specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /undecidable
    input/ of H, so therefore both D and H are an incomplete
    specifications of a machine

    Because "undecidability" doesn't affect the correct answer it must
    compute.

    THE SPACE OF TMs MACHINE IS NOT A PERFECT COMPUTATIONAL SPACE LIKE
    THEORY KEEPS CONFLATING IT WITH, IT HAS CERTAIN IDIOSYNCRASIES, AND IT CANNOT COMPUTE EVERYTHING THAT IS COMPUTABLE

    THE DECIDER THAT TURING HYPOTHESIZED _DOES NOT EXIST_, BECAUSE IT DOES
    NOT HANDLE THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF SELF-REFERENTIAL ANALYSIS, SO IT IS
    AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ OF A TM

    THAT IS THE *ACTUAL* REASON IT DOES NOT EXIST.


    Note, H, when it becomes an actual machine, because we have created an
    actual machine we claim to be the D, has an answer, and that D is
    always wrong.

    Thus, it isn't that machines claiming to be D and H can't exist, only
    machines CORRECTLY meeting the requirements of D and H can't exist.

    Thus, if your H depends on that D, (or a machine that meets its
    specification) then it also can't exist.

    You just make the error of saying the problems don't exist because you
    can't build them, but YOUR machine can, even though it has the same
    problem.



    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will
    compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL
    be circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus
    DOES produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you H
    tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order, you
    WILL hit these actual machines built on your erroneous D (your D
    must have this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus you will be
    wrong on THAT input. IT doesn't matter if you get a good answer for
    yourself.


    idk what he would have said about it, but prolly something more
    substantial than just calling me ignorant repeatedly

    I doubt it.

    He likely would have gotten frustrated by your idiodic assertion of
    bad logic. You would have likely been escorted out of the meeting as
    showing you were unqualified and being a distraction.



    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant understanding.



    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you can make >>>>>>>> the diagonal, and thus the anti-diagonal. The problem is you
    can't make that enumeration, and assuming you can just shows
    unsoundness.

    interestingly: one can only fix the direct diagonal computation >>>>>>> like this

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti-diagonal
    computation. it's not possible hard code a machine to return an >>>>>>> inverted value, a machine can only return what it does, not the >>>>>>> inverse of what it does...

    so if we can filter out paradoxes from the enumeration, that will >>>>>>> leave a direct diagonal computation extant in that filtered (yet >>>>>>> still turing complete list), while any attempt to compute an
    inverse diagonal will not be

    But the problem is that "paradoxical machines" don't exist in
    isolation, but only in relationship to a given machine trying to
    decide them.

    right. so if ur constructing a diagonal across computable numbers
    then u only need to filter out paradoxes in regards to the
    classifier that classifies them as a "satisfactory" number

    Right, which he shows can not be done.

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out such paradoxes...

    In other words, you beleive unquestionably in the existance of
    Russle's teapot until someone can prove it doesn't exist.

    BRO U LITERALLY CLAIMED TURING SHOWS FILTERING OUT PARADOXES CAN'T BE
    DONE, WHERE IN THE FUCK IS THE REFERENCE U MORON???

    WHY ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT RUSSEL'S TEAPOT INSTEAD OF PROVIDING A
    FUCKING QUOTE TO TURING'S PAPER TO BACK THE *DIRECT* CLAIM YOU MADE???


    For THIS paradox, read the proof. for THIS H, the one given, (for
    which ever version of D you want to try to assume is right) D is just
    wrong.

    Thus, it doesn't matter if D can somehow "detect" the paradox, because
    there still isn't an answer it can give to H that will be correct, as
    the template for H will always make that D wrong.

    Note, the problem is you can't actually DEFINE what a "paradox
    machine" is, as they aren't actually machines, but templates that
    build machines. And that final machine doesn't have actually
    detectable tell-tales that show it to be from that template.


    (also why do always just make random assertions???)

    Because I am smart, and know what I am talking about.

    I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE KIND OF DISHONEST GARBAGE I HAVE TO WORK
    WITH, BUT OH WELL


    They only seem "random" because you don't know what you are talking
    about and believe in unicorns (and teapots)




    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable
    as satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those that
    are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will not be
    complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it
    will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable
    numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which either >>>>> *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in regards to
    *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of
    the computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with said >>>>> machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /computable
    numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done, since
    ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't do
    what you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is not
    the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines that
    compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a)
    does not need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    Nope, as your (a) needs the machine D, which lets you filter the full
    list of machibe, which Turing showed can't exist.

    The problem is such a machine can't handle the classification of the H
    he describes. It doesn't matter that you can make a DIFFERENT machine,
    that you try to deceptively call "H" too that it won't have a problem
    with, when your "H" gets to the number of Turing's H, it still has the
    problem. It can call that one not circle-free, and thus omit a circle-
    free machine from the list, or call it circle-free, and when even YOU
    try to simulate it the k steps, you get stuck in a loop.


    (b) probably can't be done with TMs

    But if you can do (a), you can do (b).  You just need to take the code
    of (a), and invert the symbol put on the tape when it is written.
    Note, it won't be "self-referent", as the "N" is uses, is the N of
    YOUR H, not itself. The code for his (a) NEVER reads back what it
    wrote, so that doesn't affect its behavior.




    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical
    machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without
    such paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a
    definable property (let alone computable). Part of the problem is
    that if you look at just a machine description, it doesn't
    (necessarily) tell you about the use of an "interface" as that use
    of an interface can be just inlined, leaving nothing "in the code"
    to show it exists.

    i'm sorry, are you actually saying the machine description does not
    describe what the machine does???


    No, that "paradoxical" isn't a definable property of a machine.

      und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    und() includes a structural paradoxical in relation to the classifier halts(), easily demonstrable thru a short proof i've done many times

    I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHY YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THAT AS A PROPERTY OF UND(), BESIDES LITERAL BRAIMNDEAD RELIGIOUS DEVOTION TO SOME FUCKING FORM OF INSANITY I CAN'T HONESTLY FATHOM



    lol





    His specified H, with an actually (incorrect) implementation of D >>>>>> (which is all that CAN exist) will either be circle-free and thus >>>>>> generate a number (but its D said it isn't, and thus omitted a
    valid machine from the list) or it isn't circle-free, and fails to >>>>>> computa a number, and thus should have been omitted from the list >>>>>> but wasn't.

    Thus any H that ACTUALLY EXISTS, isn't a "paradox", it is just
    built on an assuption in error.


    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal
    computation does not actually then imply the existence of an
    anti- diagonal computation, due the same particular self-
    referential weirdness that stumped turing the first place

    But there is no actuall SELF-REFERENCE, so your logic is just
    based on ERROR.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a
    number that happens to represent yourself means that you you
    system "ALL" doesn't actually mean ALL, and thus is just ill-defined. >>>>>
    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that
    directly refers to yourself, as a "self-reference" ???

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have

    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine
    encoded into it, it's not "just" a number whatever that means




    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different
    numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not self-
    references

    Which is why the concept of "self-reference" doesn't work.



    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs, but
    doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number" doesn't
    actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the paradox
    detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating an actual
    problem

    Then show how you will do it.

    This means you need to detect a input that represents a machine that
    uses a computation equivalent to yourself



    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an
    input classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in
    regards to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    WHich doesn't exist.


    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

       und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

       paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier
    like such:

       undp = () -> {
         if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
           if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
       }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    And the problem is "paradox_free" can't exist as an always correct
    decider.


    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case
    doesn't run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine
    is necessary for the particular input->output computation being done,
    so utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to filter
    out paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes will
    suffice to produce a turing complete subset of machines that can be
    totally classified by halts()

    But we can still build an input that your paradox_free() fails on.

    SO ACTUALLY DO IT??

    WHAT'S THE INPUT THAT CAUSES A FAILURE THAT ACTUALLY MUST BE INCLUDED ON
    THE DIAGONAL???





    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an
    expectation of a certain cleanliness in the logic as being the only
    possibility here to compute what we want. TM's can't achieve that,
    but something slightly messier can.

    No, it is your dependence on being able to assume that unicorns can
    solve all your problems.

    They are, But you are too stuck in your lies to see it.

    Your "logic" is based on being able to assume that Unicorn's exist,
    and that is a safe assumption until someone can prove that Russel's

    i don't see any indication that turing realized a difference there >>>>>>
    Then you zre just showing your stupidity, because YOU can't tell
    the difference.

    After all, on page 246 he says:

    The computable sequences are therefore not enumerable.

    Here is is SPECIFICALLY talking about the effective enumeration of >>>>>> the computable sequences.

    He then points out that he can directly show that the "anti-
    diagonal" of the (non-effectively computed) enumeration can't be
    computed but that "This proof, although perfectly sound, has the
    disadvantage that it may leave the reader with a feeling that
    'there must be something wrong'".

    it is wrong,

    No, YOU are wrong, as you don't understand what is being done.

    I think he is refering he to the standard anti-diagonal arguement,
    which shows that since for all n, position n differs from the value
    in number n, there can not be any element that matches the anti-
    diagonal.

    It is just a natural fact of countable infinity, something it seems
    you just don't understand.

    Show how that is actually wrong.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's short
    diagonal proof, but in writing this post i now find myself in a
    subtle, yet entirely critical disagreement:

    /let an be the n-th computable sequence, and let φn(m) be the m-th
    figure in an. Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th. figure. >>> Since β is computable, there exists a number K [== β] such that 1-
    φn(n) = φK(n) for all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 = 2φK(K), i.e. 1 is >>> even. This is impossible/

    i agree with this proof is far as much as if β was computable (by TMs)
    we'd have a problem for sure,

    but what i don't agree is that we can just assume the computability of β from the existence of φn(m), THAT'S THE FALLACy

    But he doesn't.

    He PROVES that β can't be computed, because we can't compute an
    enumeration of TM that compute machines.



    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is
    computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal using
    the direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look simple,
    but this ignores the complexities of self-referential analysis (like
    what turing details on the next page)

    But you can, *IF* you have a machine that computes the diagonal, then
    just change all the write to the output to write the opposite. Note,
    the "self-reference" that you are thinking of stops being a "self-
    reference" but is a reference to the original write the diagonal code.


    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the direct
    diagonal (either (1) filtering TMs or (2) using RTMs), neither can be
    used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    Nope, because your filtering TM (or RTM) will still fail when it gets
    to the number of TURING'S H, as there is no correct answer for the
    machine built by that template.

    TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H DOESN'T EXIST, IT'S AN INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION

    (is that where H comes from??? _H_ypothetical???)

    What is "incomplete" in its specification? Only how to build D, which he admits he assumes to exist, to prove that it can't,




    in (1) the algo to compute an inverse diagonal is filtered out like
    turing's paradoxical variation of the direct diagonal would be, and
    there is no analogous non-paradoxical variation that has a hard coded
    value that is inverse to what it does return ... such a concept is
    entirely nonsensical. a function can only return what it does, it
    can't also return the inverse to what it returns eh???

    But, if D filters it out, then it becomes circle-free, and thus your
    enumeration is incomlete.

    THE ANTI-DIAGONAL IS *NOT* A COMPUTABLE NUMBER BY TMs, SO IT *SHOULD* BE FILTERED OUT

    But Turing's H isn't computing the anti-diagonal, it is computing a
    computable number, which happens to match the diagonal of the full enumeration, and thus should be.

    The algorith, assuming D exists, *WILL* produce a computatble number,
    and thus needs to filtered IN.




    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just
    fails for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo urself
    (p7 of re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th/

    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually computable
    given the direct diagonal φn()

    And why not. The fact that you are too ignorant to see how to do that,
    as you are thinking the only "reference" can be to "self", doesn't
    make you argument correct.

    BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CAPTURE THE NUANCES INVOLVED WITH SELF-REFERENCE,
    LIKE THE PARADOX FOUND IN TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H

    But the problem is there ISN'T a "nuance" to capture, as N is just a number.


    NEITHER METHOD I'VE HYPOTHESIZED ABOUT AN EXTANT H ALLOWS FOR INVERSE-H
    TO BE COMPUTED


    Why not?

    Why can't I take YOUR code of the H that you claim generates the
    diagonal, and replace each of the final write permenatly to the tape
    with write the opposite symbol to the tape?

    Note, I am NOT changing your magical "self-reference" number to myself,
    but leaving it as your number, so your code still works exactly as before.

    Where is the error here.

    This just shows that your "magic" of self-reference isn't actually real.




    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across computable
    numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal across
    computable numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across
    the computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and
    thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute
    computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not
    computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the other
    machines, including his original H that doesn't use your "trick"




    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that the
    Decider "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate the
    sequence of machine that produce computable numbers can not esit.

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that
    the attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue with >>>>>> effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for computing >>>>> the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on his
    given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide
    correctly on H to compute a diagonal

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT WOULDN'T BE USED

    Sure you do, as you need the COMPLETE enumeration of machines that
    create computable numbers or the computable numbers.

    If you miss some, then the fact that that the anti-diagonal isn't in the
    list doesn't actually mean anything,

    You need to remember the actual problem.



    YOUR H still needs to know if Turing's H is a machine that generates a
    computable number to build the list of such machine to define the
    diagonal to compute.

    TURING'S H DOESN'T EXIST. TURING'S D DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. BOTH ARE
    INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS.

    The SPECIFICATION, as to what their RESULTS are to be is complete.

    THey are unimplementalbe.

    And so is your H, as you need to depend on that same D to make your
    COMPLETE enumeration.


    THE FIXED H DIAGONAL WOULD USE A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER D, WHICH WILL WORK
    JUST FINE ON THE ENUMERATION THAT HAS /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ TO D FILTERED
    FROM IT

    Which means the array doesn't meet the specification, and thus neither
    does the diagonal.

    You seem to forget the base requirements,

    If your partial recogninzer doesn't answer for some inputs, then your H doesn't produce a full number.

    If your partial recognizer just rejects some machines it should accept,
    then you array of numbers is incomplete (even if infinite) and thus its anti-diagonal can well be computed and will be one of the number just
    dropped from your enumeration,

    In other words, your world accepts false answers as correct.



    You seem to not understand the meaning of ALL.

    ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS =/= ALL MACHINES THAT COMPUTE COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    Yes, so *IF* you can show that your partial list of machines still
    includes ALL computable numbers, you might be able to do something,

    But you can't do that based on the assumption of some decider existing,
    you need to actuall prove it,

    And the problem is that if you CAN compute the array of the enumeraton
    of computable numbers, then from that computation, you can compute the anti-diagonal, and thus prove that your enumeration wasn't complete.

    This is the proof that he says will leave the reader with the feeling
    that "something must be wrong" even though it is perfectly correct.





    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it
    will still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't
    specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /undecidable
    input/ of H, so therefore both D and H are an incomplete
    specifications of a machine

    Because "undecidability" doesn't affect the correct answer it must
    compute.

    THE SPACE OF TMs MACHINE IS NOT A PERFECT COMPUTATIONAL SPACE LIKE
    THEORY KEEPS CONFLATING IT WITH, IT HAS CERTAIN IDIOSYNCRASIES, AND IT CANNOT COMPUTE EVERYTHING THAT IS COMPUTABLE

    Really? Since DEFINITION of "Computable" is that an finite definite
    algorithm exist to compute it, what computable thing doesn't have a TM.

    You need to disprove CT to make that claim.


    THE DECIDER THAT TURING HYPOTHESIZED _DOES NOT EXIST_, BECAUSE IT DOES
    NOT HANDLE THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF SELF-REFERENTIAL ANALYSIS, SO IT IS
    AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ OF A TM

    Because it CAN'T as your concept doesn't actually exist.


    THAT IS THE *ACTUAL* REASON IT DOES NOT EXIST.

    In other words, because something that can't be computed can't be
    computed (the fact of your idea of self-refernce) means that we can't
    compute something.



    Note, H, when it becomes an actual machine, because we have created an
    actual machine we claim to be the D, has an answer, and that D is
    always wrong.

    Thus, it isn't that machines claiming to be D and H can't exist, only
    machines CORRECTLY meeting the requirements of D and H can't exist.

    Thus, if your H depends on that D, (or a machine that meets its
    specification) then it also can't exist.

    You just make the error of saying the problems don't exist because you
    can't build them, but YOUR machine can, even though it has the same
    problem.



    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will
    compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL
    be circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus
    DOES produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you H
    tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order, you
    WILL hit these actual machines built on your erroneous D (your D
    must have this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus you will be
    wrong on THAT input. IT doesn't matter if you get a good answer for
    yourself.


    idk what he would have said about it, but prolly something more
    substantial than just calling me ignorant repeatedly

    I doubt it.

    He likely would have gotten frustrated by your idiodic assertion of
    bad logic. You would have likely been escorted out of the meeting as
    showing you were unqualified and being a distraction.



    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant understanding.



    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you can make >>>>>>>> the diagonal, and thus the anti-diagonal. The problem is you
    can't make that enumeration, and assuming you can just shows
    unsoundness.

    interestingly: one can only fix the direct diagonal computation >>>>>>> like this

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti-diagonal
    computation. it's not possible hard code a machine to return an >>>>>>> inverted value, a machine can only return what it does, not the >>>>>>> inverse of what it does...

    so if we can filter out paradoxes from the enumeration, that will >>>>>>> leave a direct diagonal computation extant in that filtered (yet >>>>>>> still turing complete list), while any attempt to compute an
    inverse diagonal will not be

    But the problem is that "paradoxical machines" don't exist in
    isolation, but only in relationship to a given machine trying to
    decide them.

    right. so if ur constructing a diagonal across computable numbers
    then u only need to filter out paradoxes in regards to the
    classifier that classifies them as a "satisfactory" number

    Right, which he shows can not be done.

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out such paradoxes...

    In other words, you beleive unquestionably in the existance of
    Russle's teapot until someone can prove it doesn't exist.

    BRO U LITERALLY CLAIMED TURING SHOWS FILTERING OUT PARADOXES CAN'T BE
    DONE, WHERE IN THE FUCK IS THE REFERENCE U MORON???

    READ THE LITERATURE.

    I admit, Turing doesn't make the claim HERE, that result evolves over time.


    WHY ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT RUSSEL'S TEAPOT INSTEAD OF PROVIDING A
    FUCKING QUOTE TO TURING'S PAPER TO BACK THE *DIRECT* CLAIM YOU MADE???

    Because I never said Turing said it in the paper. It is a fact proven in
    the literature.

    Rice's Theorem is a later proof, and your paradoxical behavior falls
    with Rice's Theorem.



    For THIS paradox, read the proof. for THIS H, the one given, (for
    which ever version of D you want to try to assume is right) D is just
    wrong.

    Thus, it doesn't matter if D can somehow "detect" the paradox, because
    there still isn't an answer it can give to H that will be correct, as
    the template for H will always make that D wrong.

    Note, the problem is you can't actually DEFINE what a "paradox
    machine" is, as they aren't actually machines, but templates that
    build machines. And that final machine doesn't have actually
    detectable tell-tales that show it to be from that template.


    (also why do always just make random assertions???)

    Because I am smart, and know what I am talking about.

    I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE KIND OF DISHONEST GARBAGE I HAVE TO WORK
    WITH, BUT OH WELL

    No, YOU are the one spouting "DISHONEST GARBAGE" because it seems you
    are just ignorant of what you claim to be talking about.



    They only seem "random" because you don't know what you are talking
    about and believe in unicorns (and teapots)




    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable
    as satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those that
    are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will not be
    complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it
    will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable
    numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which either >>>>> *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in regards to
    *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of
    the computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with said >>>>> machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /computable
    numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done, since
    ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't do
    what you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is not
    the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines that
    compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a)
    does not need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    Nope, as your (a) needs the machine D, which lets you filter the full
    list of machibe, which Turing showed can't exist.

    The problem is such a machine can't handle the classification of the H
    he describes. It doesn't matter that you can make a DIFFERENT machine,
    that you try to deceptively call "H" too that it won't have a problem
    with, when your "H" gets to the number of Turing's H, it still has the
    problem. It can call that one not circle-free, and thus omit a circle-
    free machine from the list, or call it circle-free, and when even YOU
    try to simulate it the k steps, you get stuck in a loop.


    (b) probably can't be done with TMs

    But if you can do (a), you can do (b).  You just need to take the code
    of (a), and invert the symbol put on the tape when it is written.
    Note, it won't be "self-referent", as the "N" is uses, is the N of
    YOUR H, not itself. The code for his (a) NEVER reads back what it
    wrote, so that doesn't affect its behavior.




    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical
    machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without
    such paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a
    definable property (let alone computable). Part of the problem is
    that if you look at just a machine description, it doesn't
    (necessarily) tell you about the use of an "interface" as that use
    of an interface can be just inlined, leaving nothing "in the code"
    to show it exists.

    i'm sorry, are you actually saying the machine description does not
    describe what the machine does???


    No, that "paradoxical" isn't a definable property of a machine.

      und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    und() includes a structural paradoxical in relation to the classifier halts(), easily demonstrable thru a short proof i've done many times

    I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHY YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THAT AS A PROPERTY OF UND(), BESIDES LITERAL BRAIMNDEAD RELIGIOUS DEVOTION TO SOME FUCKING FORM OF INSANITY I CAN'T HONESTLY FATHOM

    Because your "und" isn't actually a "program" until you define the exact procedure "halts" that it uses. And that that point, it ceases to be a
    real "paradox", but just a machine with definite behavior that that
    particular halts got wrong.

    Your problem is you don't understand the meaning of the basic words you
    are using,




    lol





    His specified H, with an actually (incorrect) implementation of D >>>>>> (which is all that CAN exist) will either be circle-free and thus >>>>>> generate a number (but its D said it isn't, and thus omitted a
    valid machine from the list) or it isn't circle-free, and fails to >>>>>> computa a number, and thus should have been omitted from the list >>>>>> but wasn't.

    Thus any H that ACTUALLY EXISTS, isn't a "paradox", it is just
    built on an assuption in error.


    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal
    computation does not actually then imply the existence of an
    anti- diagonal computation, due the same particular self-
    referential weirdness that stumped turing the first place

    But there is no actuall SELF-REFERENCE, so your logic is just
    based on ERROR.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a
    number that happens to represent yourself means that you you
    system "ALL" doesn't actually mean ALL, and thus is just ill-defined. >>>>>
    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that
    directly refers to yourself, as a "self-reference" ???

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have

    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine
    encoded into it, it's not "just" a number whatever that means




    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different
    numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not self-
    references

    Which is why the concept of "self-reference" doesn't work.



    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs, but
    doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number" doesn't
    actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the paradox
    detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating an actual
    problem

    Then show how you will do it.

    This means you need to detect a input that represents a machine that
    uses a computation equivalent to yourself



    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an
    input classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in
    regards to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    WHich doesn't exist.


    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

       und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

       paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier
    like such:

       undp = () -> {
         if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
           if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
       }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    And the problem is "paradox_free" can't exist as an always correct
    decider.


    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case
    doesn't run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine
    is necessary for the particular input->output computation being done,
    so utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to filter
    out paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes will
    suffice to produce a turing complete subset of machines that can be
    totally classified by halts()

    But we can still build an input that your paradox_free() fails on.

    SO ACTUALLY DO IT??

    WHAT'S THE INPUT THAT CAUSES A FAILURE THAT ACTUALLY MUST BE INCLUDED ON
    THE DIAGONAL???

    Just make a machine that calls paradox_free with its own description,
    and if it says it is paradoxical, don't be to the criteria in question,
    and it if it says it isn't, be so.

    so

    und() ->
    if paradox_free(halts, und) :
    if (halts(und)) :
    return 0;
    else
    loop forever;
    else
    if (halts(und) ):
    loop forever
    else
    return 0;

    The problem is if we are paradoxical to paradox_free then it can't decide.







    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an
    expectation of a certain cleanliness in the logic as being the only
    possibility here to compute what we want. TM's can't achieve that,
    but something slightly messier can.

    No, it is your dependence on being able to assume that unicorns can
    solve all your problems.






    dear future: u see this shit i'm trying work with???? sorry i
    didn't manage to make progress any faster, but i'm literally
    dragging toddlers kicking and screaming at this point jeez...


    In other words, in your world "ALL" isn't a word that can actually
    be used.

    You don't understand that you need to use actual sound logic,

    lol, i can only 🙏 someone would engage in sound logic with me

    They are, But you are too stuck in your lies to see it.

    Your "logic" is based on being able to assume that Unicorn's exist,
    and that is a safe assumption until someone can prove that Russel's
    Teapot is not out there. (Even though your unicorns HAVE been proved
    to not exist).

    You are just proving your utter stupidity.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's short
    diagonal proof, but in writing this post i now find myself in a
    subtle, yet entirely critical disagreement:

    /let an be the n-th computable sequence, and let φn(m) be the m-th
    figure in an. Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th.
    figure. Since β is computable, there exists a number K [== β] such
    that 1- φn(n) = φK(n) for all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 = 2φK(K), >>>> i.e. 1 is even. This is impossible/

    i agree with this proof is far as much as if β was computable (by TMs)
    we'd have a problem for sure,

    but what i don't agree is that we can just assume the computability of
    β from the existence of φn(m), THAT'S THE FALLACy


    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is
    computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal using
    the direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look simple,
    but this ignores the complexities of self-referential analysis (like
    what turing details on the next page)

    But you can, *IF* you have a machine that computes the diagonal, then
    just change all the write to the output to write the opposite. Note,
    the "self-reference" that you are thinking of stops being a "self-
    reference" but is a reference to the original write the diagonal code.


    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the
    direct diagonal (either (1) filtering TMs or (2) using RTMs),
    neither can be used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    Nope, because your filtering TM (or RTM) will still fail when it gets
    to the number of TURING'S H, as there is no correct answer for the
    machine built by that template.

    TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H DOESN'T EXIST, IT'S AN INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION

    (is that where H comes from??? _H_ypothetical???)



    in (1) the algo to compute an inverse diagonal is filtered out like
    turing's paradoxical variation of the direct diagonal would be, and
    there is no analogous non-paradoxical variation that has a hard
    coded value that is inverse to what it does return ... such a
    concept is entirely nonsensical. a function can only return what it
    does, it can't also return the inverse to what it returns eh???

    But, if D filters it out, then it becomes circle-free, and thus your
    enumeration is incomlete.

    THE ANTI-DIAGONAL IS *NOT* A COMPUTABLE NUMBER BY TMs, SO IT *SHOULD*
    BE FILTERED OUT



    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just
    fails for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo
    urself (p7 of re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th/

    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually computable
    given the direct diagonal φn()

    And why not. The fact that you are too ignorant to see how to do
    that, as you are thinking the only "reference" can be to "self",
    doesn't make you argument correct.

    BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CAPTURE THE NUANCES INVOLVED WITH SELF-REFERENCE,
    LIKE THE PARADOX FOUND IN TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H

    NEITHER METHOD I'VE HYPOTHESIZED ABOUT AN EXTANT H ALLOWS FOR INVERSE-
    H TO BE COMPUTED



    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across computable >>>>>> numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal across
    computable numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across
    the computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and
    thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute
    computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not
    computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not computable >>>>>
    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the other
    machines, including his original H that doesn't use your "trick"




    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that the >>>>>>> Decider "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate the
    sequence of machine that produce computable numbers can not esit. >>>>>>>
    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that >>>>>>> the attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue
    with effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for
    computing the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on
    his given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide
    correctly on H to compute a diagonal

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT WOULDN'T
    BE USED

    incredibly, ironically, AND not co-incidently: partial recognizer D
    *can* decide on the fixed H because the fixed H does not try to use any
    D on itself, so no self-referential paradox is possible in regards to
    it's own digit on the diagonal

    partial_recognizer_D(fixed_H) -> TRUE

    which is a decidably TRUE return value (therefore a dependable AND computable value)

    the fixed H is /decidable input/ to partial recognizer D (used in fixed
    H, which does not call any D itself), and would not be filtered out by paradox detectors

    the fact fixed H does not use any classifier D on itself, and instead returns a hard-coded value for it's own digit on the diagonal, is
    keystone in making it /decidable input/ to D

    holy fuck rick idk what to tell u anymore,

    that shit is rock solid theory.

    🤷🤷🤷


    And your "enumeration" isn't complete, and thus you are just anouncing
    that you thing errors are ok.

    The problem is fixed_H still need to run D on turing_H and it will fail
    on that.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it circle_free, then fixed_H gets hung up.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it not circle_free, then your
    enumeration is missing the circle_free H from its list, and thus doesn't
    make the right diagonal.



    YOUR H still needs to know if Turing's H is a machine that generates
    a computable number to build the list of such machine to define the
    diagonal to compute.

    TURING'S H DOESN'T EXIST. TURING'S D DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. BOTH ARE
    INCOMPLETE INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS.>
    THE FIXED H DIAGONAL WOULD USE A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER D, WHICH WILL WORK
    JUST FINE ON THE ENUMERATION THAT HAS /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ TO D
    FILTERED FROM IT


    You seem to not understand the meaning of ALL.

    ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS =/= ALL MACHINES THAT COMPUTE COMPUTABLE NUMBERS




    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it
    will still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't
    specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /undecidable
    input/ of H, so therefore both D and H are an incomplete
    specifications of a machine

    Because "undecidability" doesn't affect the correct answer it must
    compute.

    THE SPACE OF TMs MACHINE IS NOT A PERFECT COMPUTATIONAL SPACE LIKE
    THEORY KEEPS CONFLATING IT WITH, IT HAS CERTAIN IDIOSYNCRASIES, AND IT
    CANNOT COMPUTE EVERYTHING THAT IS COMPUTABLE

    THE DECIDER THAT TURING HYPOTHESIZED _DOES NOT EXIST_, BECAUSE IT DOES
    NOT HANDLE THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF SELF-REFERENTIAL ANALYSIS, SO IT IS
    AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ OF A TM

    THAT IS THE *ACTUAL* REASON IT DOES NOT EXIST.


    Note, H, when it becomes an actual machine, because we have created
    an actual machine we claim to be the D, has an answer, and that D is
    always wrong.

    Thus, it isn't that machines claiming to be D and H can't exist, only
    machines CORRECTLY meeting the requirements of D and H can't exist.

    Thus, if your H depends on that D, (or a machine that meets its
    specification) then it also can't exist.

    You just make the error of saying the problems don't exist because
    you can't build them, but YOUR machine can, even though it has the
    same problem.



    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will
    compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL
    be circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus
    DOES produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you H >>>>> tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order, you
    WILL hit these actual machines built on your erroneous D (your D
    must have this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus you will be
    wrong on THAT input. IT doesn't matter if you get a good answer for >>>>> yourself.


    idk what he would have said about it, but prolly something more
    substantial than just calling me ignorant repeatedly

    I doubt it.

    He likely would have gotten frustrated by your idiodic assertion of >>>>> bad logic. You would have likely been escorted out of the meeting
    as showing you were unqualified and being a distraction.



    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant understanding.

    right. so if ur constructing a diagonal across computable numbers >>>>>> then u only need to filter out paradoxes in regards to the
    classifier that classifies them as a "satisfactory" number

    Right, which he shows can not be done.

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out such
    paradoxes...

    In other words, you beleive unquestionably in the existance of
    Russle's teapot until someone can prove it doesn't exist.

    BRO U LITERALLY CLAIMED TURING SHOWS FILTERING OUT PARADOXES CAN'T BE
    DONE, WHERE IN THE FUCK IS THE REFERENCE U MORON???

    WHY ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT RUSSEL'S TEAPOT INSTEAD OF PROVIDING A
    FUCKING QUOTE TO TURING'S PAPER TO BACK THE *DIRECT* CLAIM YOU MADE???


    For THIS paradox, read the proof. for THIS H, the one given, (for
    which ever version of D you want to try to assume is right) D is just
    wrong.

    Thus, it doesn't matter if D can somehow "detect" the paradox,
    because there still isn't an answer it can give to H that will be
    correct, as the template for H will always make that D wrong.

    Note, the problem is you can't actually DEFINE what a "paradox
    machine" is, as they aren't actually machines, but templates that
    build machines. And that final machine doesn't have actually
    detectable tell-tales that show it to be from that template.


    (also why do always just make random assertions???)

    Because I am smart, and know what I am talking about.

    I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE KIND OF DISHONEST GARBAGE I HAVE TO WORK
    WITH, BUT OH WELL


    They only seem "random" because you don't know what you are talking
    about and believe in unicorns (and teapots)




    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* classifiable >>>>>> as satisfactory by said classifier... can just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those
    that are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will
    not be complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as it >>>>> will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable >>>>>> numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which
    either *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in
    regards to *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of
    the computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with
    said machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /
    computable numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done,
    since ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you can't >>>>> do what you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is not
    the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines that
    compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a)
    does not need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    Nope, as your (a) needs the machine D, which lets you filter the full
    list of machibe, which Turing showed can't exist.

    The problem is such a machine can't handle the classification of the
    H he describes. It doesn't matter that you can make a DIFFERENT
    machine, that you try to deceptively call "H" too that it won't have
    a problem with, when your "H" gets to the number of Turing's H, it
    still has the problem. It can call that one not circle-free, and thus
    omit a circle- free machine from the list, or call it circle-free,
    and when even YOU try to simulate it the k steps, you get stuck in a
    loop.


    (b) probably can't be done with TMs

    But if you can do (a), you can do (b).  You just need to take the
    code of (a), and invert the symbol put on the tape when it is
    written. Note, it won't be "self-referent", as the "N" is uses, is
    the N of YOUR H, not itself. The code for his (a) NEVER reads back
    what it wrote, so that doesn't affect its behavior.




    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical
    machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without
    such paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a
    definable property (let alone computable). Part of the problem is
    that if you look at just a machine description, it doesn't
    (necessarily) tell you about the use of an "interface" as that use
    of an interface can be just inlined, leaving nothing "in the code"
    to show it exists.

    i'm sorry, are you actually saying the machine description does not
    describe what the machine does???


    No, that "paradoxical" isn't a definable property of a machine.

    Thus any H that ACTUALLY EXISTS, isn't a "paradox", it is just

    so despite turing's worries, the existence of a diagonal
    computation does not actually then imply the existence of an
    anti- diagonal computation, due the same particular self-
    referential weirdness that stumped turing the first place

    But there is no actuall SELF-REFERENCE, so your logic is just
    based on ERROR.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a
    number that happens to represent yourself means that you you
    system "ALL" doesn't actually mean ALL, and thus is just ill-
    defined.

    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that
    directly refers to yourself, as a "self-reference" ???

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have >>>>
    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine
    encoded into it, it's not "just" a number whatever that means




    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different
    numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not self-
    references

    Which is why the concept of "self-reference" doesn't work.



    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs, but >>>>> doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number" doesn't
    actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the paradox
    detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating an actual
    problem

    Then show how you will do it.

    This means you need to detect a input that represents a machine that
    uses a computation equivalent to yourself



    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an
    input classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in
    regards to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    WHich doesn't exist.


    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

       und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

       paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier
    like such:

       undp = () -> {
         if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
           if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
       }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    And the problem is "paradox_free" can't exist as an always correct
    decider.


    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case
    doesn't run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine
    is necessary for the particular input->output computation being
    done, so utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to
    filter out paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes
    will suffice to produce a turing complete subset of machines that
    can be totally classified by halts()

    But we can still build an input that your paradox_free() fails on.

    SO ACTUALLY DO IT??

    WHAT'S THE INPUT THAT CAUSES A FAILURE THAT ACTUALLY MUST BE INCLUDED
    ON THE DIAGONAL???





    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an
    expectation of a certain cleanliness in the logic as being the only
    possibility here to compute what we want. TM's can't achieve that,
    but something slightly messier can.

    No, it is your dependence on being able to assume that unicorns can
    solve all your problems.






    dear future: u see this shit i'm trying work with???? sorry i
    didn't manage to make progress any faster, but i'm literally
    dragging toddlers kicking and screaming at this point jeez...


    In other words, in your world "ALL" isn't a word that can actually
    be used.

    You don't understand that you need to use actual sound logic,

    lol, i can only 🙏 someone would engage in sound logic with me

    They are, But you are too stuck in your lies to see it.

    Your "logic" is based on being able to assume that Unicorn's exist,
    and that is a safe assumption until someone can prove that Russel's
    Teapot is not out there. (Even though your unicorns HAVE been proved
    to not exist).

    You are just proving your utter stupidity.






    ...which u won't find interesting, but i can't fix a lack of
    curiosity

    🤷

    the relevant mapping to universal quantification?





    This just shows that you real problem is you don't understand
    what the actual problem is, and your world is just build on
    things that are lies.

    IT seems that fundamentally, your world doesn't actually have
    "computations" as you don't understand the basic requirement that >>>>>>> they need to be fully defined in the actions they do.

    if u had read my paper (not just like glanced at it), u'd know

    doesn't require a fixed decider to avoid itself, just a quine based

    Doesn't work.

    more humility would do u wonders dick

    Could say the same about you.

    The problem is YOU are the one making stupid claims, not me, thus YOU
    are the one showing stupidity on insisting on lies.


    So, what answer does that quine based decider give for the question
    about itself?

    it's not the decider that has a quine, it's the diagonal computation H
    that uses D that has the quine to recognize H.

    But the problem is it isn;t the Diagonal Computation that is said to be impossible, but the decider.

    The H he descrives still exists, even if you make your variant, but that
    H can't be decided on.


    when the diagonal computation recognizes it's own number in the total
    machine enumeration, it never asks the decider on itself, when it
    identifies itself in the total machine numeration it adds some fixed
    digit to the diagonal instead of recursively getting stuck in
    simulating itself.

    So, as I said, it isn't the diagonal computation that is said to be impossible, just the decider that enumerates the diagonal machines.

    WHat does that decider do for the non-quine version described.


    doesn't matter what digit: both are different machines, with different
    indexes in the enumeration, that compute the diagonal

    So? what does D do with the original H.

    This is your problem, you don't pay attention to the problem being
    actually defined.

    It is a bit like the "pathological" input for the halting problem.



    Either answer is still wrong.


    And how is being "quine based" keep it from being "fixed".

    It still is only one unique machine.


    u ofc don't know what i'm talking about and have demonstrated no
    capability to hold a coherent conversation

    No, YOU keep on making categorical errors not knowing the real
    meaning of the terms you are using.


    Since, as I pointed out, you LEFT the system in your first page by

    WHAT OTHER "INTERFACES"?

    i've described a variety of them thus far

    Really?

    Not in the rules of Computation Theory, as your machines aren't
    machine as they don't include all their algorithm.

    u haven't defined the rules of computation theory, u just make
    random claims about it whenever the fuck

    I don't need to do that, as they ARE already defined in the literature.

    and which literature defines "the rules"???

    The "Literature", as a collection.

    Yes, part of the problem is that they were more focused on the goal of figuring if this class of "decision" problems were do able, no one
    actually sat down (as far as I know) to formally and definitively define
    it as a system, and in fact, you see some comments in the writing about disagreeing and refining the definitions. But the basic concept is
    fairly clear if you read much of the writting and remember what they
    were working on. Was there some defined algorithmic method that could be used to answer the tough problems they were coming up on in mathematics
    and logic.







    He shows a problem that can not be decided. PERIOD.

    Your "Interface" seems to be one of your undefinable terms.

    i've defined it many times to u

    No, you use the word but not DEFINE it.

    it is the specification that a machine computes, or possibly some
    meta- specification

    In other words, you are "solving" a problem by solving some other
    problem?


    but u don't debate honorably dick, u just reject every i say even
    when i agree

    It seems you are just admitting your logic is based on lying,

    If I have a classification decision problem, that problem has a
    specification of indicating which class an input lies in.

    What other "specification" can exist?

    All you seem to want to do is say that if you don't need to answer
    the question, you can answer the question.

    In other words, you want to make lies be truth.



    It seems you don't know what a DEFINTION is.




    which is a set of words apparently so damn radical the lame duck >>>>>>>> industry of cs "academics" can't even comprehend the concept, >>>>>>>> let alone address it in a considerate manner

    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code

    Because it isn't really needed.

    i am never going to be convinced of anything u say until you

    *never*

    cause it's just abject brainrot that u think u can keep talking >>>>>>>> so much smack without being able to code up his *really* simple >>>>>>>> algo

    Nope, YOU are the one with brain rot.

    no pseudo-code = no convincing

    NO DEFINITIONS, nothing shown.

    If you want to ignore truth, you just prove your own stupidity,

    still no pseudo-code cause ur a fraud dick

    Still being stupid I see.


    i'm honest not sure why u bother typing responses. ur words fall on
    deaf ears cause u refuse to write anything beyond shallow insults
    and random claims over rules that don't actually exist

    Your problem is that you fundamentally don't understand what you are
    talking about, as your world seems to be based on the assumption that
    things don't need to be what they are, and that lies are valid.

    no pseudo-code = no convincing

    Simplified version assuming D taks D.N instead of S.D

    def H:
      let N = 1
      let K = 0
      do:
        if D (N) is satisified:
          let K = K + 1
          simulate S.D corresponding to N till it produces K symbols
          output that K'th symbol
        Let N = N + 1


    i want to think you for actually doing this,

    and i do believe it's correct,

    the rest of ur analysis notwithstanding


    Note, each implementation of this pseudo code will have a number N.

    IF D only is statisfied by circle-free programs, that is programs that continue to produce outputs then this program MUST be circle free as
    long as the following are true:

    * D itself must be halting, and always produce an answer (which is part
      of its definition to exist)
    * There must be an infinite number of circle-free programs

    And we then get to the delemma mentions on page 247,

    When given this program to decide on, if it says that it is NOT circle- free, then it WILL continue to produce output forever and thus show that
    it WAS circle-free and thus D was wrong.

    If it says that H is circle-free, then it will simulate itself until it produces K outputs, but after that simulation produces K-1 outputs, it
    will itself simulate itself and so on into the infinte loop.

    Talking about a DIFFERENT machine, with a DIFFERENT D.N is irrelevant,
    that other machine isn't this one,



    i would ask if u care about convincing me,

    Not really, just showing you are wrong.

    Since you don't care about truth, you might not be convincible.


    but clearly u don't

    and if u don't care about convincing me,

    then ur debate is not honorable, it is engaged with a lack of care, so
    ofc it wouldn't be honorable, and that requires care


    My goal is to keep others, who want to know, from falling into your lies.

    YOU, not willing to define your terms, are the unhonerable one.












    Sorry, you are just showing you don't understand what is >>>>>>>>>>> being done.

    and u still haven't written the pseudo-code

    Because it isn't really needed.

    Nope, YOU are the one with brain rot.

    no pseudo-code = no convincing

    NO DEFINITIONS, nothing shown.

    If you want to ignore truth, you just prove your own stupidity,

    still no pseudo-code cause ur a fraud dick

    Still being stupid I see.


    i'm honest not sure why u bother typing responses. ur words fall on
    deaf ears cause u refuse to write anything beyond shallow insults
    and random claims over rules that don't actually exist

    Your problem is that you fundamentally don't understand what you are
    talking about, as your world seems to be based on the assumption that
    things don't need to be what they are, and that lies are valid.

    no pseudo-code = no convincing

    Simplified version assuming D taks D.N instead of S.D

    def H:
      let N = 1
      let K = 0
      do:
        if D (N) is satisified:
          let K = K + 1
          simulate S.D corresponding to N till it produces K symbols
          output that K'th symbol
        Let N = N + 1


    i want to thank you for actually doing this,

    and i do agree it's correct,

    the rest of ur analysis notwithstanding...


    Note, each implementation of this pseudo code will have a number N.

    IF D only is statisfied by circle-free programs, that is programs that continue to produce outputs then this program MUST be circle free as
    long as the following are true:

    * D itself must be halting, and always produce an answer (which is part
      of its definition to exist)
    * There must be an infinite number of circle-free programs

    And we then get to the delemma mentions on page 247,

    When given this program to decide on, if it says that it is NOT circle- free, then it WILL continue to produce output forever and thus show that
    it WAS circle-free and thus D was wrong.

    If it says that H is circle-free, then it will simulate itself until it produces K outputs, but after that simulation produces K-1 outputs, it
    will itself simulate itself and so on into the infinte loop.

    Talking about a DIFFERENT machine, with a DIFFERENT D.N is irrelevant,
    that other machine isn't this one,



    i would ask if u care about convincing me,

    Not really, just showing you are wrong.

    Since you don't care about truth, you might not be convincible.


    but clearly u don't

    and if u don't care about convincing me,

    then ur debate is not honorable, it is engaged with a lack of care, so
    ofc it wouldn't be honorable, and that requires care

    it is wrong,

    No, YOU are wrong, as you don't understand what is being done.

    I think he is refering he to the standard anti-diagonal arguement, >>>>>> which shows that since for all n, position n differs from the
    value in number n, there can not be any element that matches the
    anti- diagonal.

    It is just a natural fact of countable infinity, something it

    Show how that is actually wrong.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's short >>>>> diagonal proof, but in writing this post i now find myself in a
    subtle, yet entirely critical disagreement:

    /let an be the n-th computable sequence, and let φn(m) be the m-th >>>>> figure in an. Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th.
    figure. Since β is computable, there exists a number K [== β] such >>>>> that 1- φn(n) = φK(n) for all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 = 2φK(K), >>>>> i.e. 1 is even. This is impossible/

    i agree with this proof is far as much as if β was computable (by
    TMs) we'd have a problem for sure,

    but what i don't agree is that we can just assume the computability
    of β from the existence of φn(m), THAT'S THE FALLACy


    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is
    computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal using
    the direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look simple,
    but this ignores the complexities of self-referential analysis
    (like what turing details on the next page)

    But you can, *IF* you have a machine that computes the diagonal,
    then just change all the write to the output to write the opposite.
    Note, the "self-reference" that you are thinking of stops being a
    "self- reference" but is a reference to the original write the
    diagonal code.


    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the
    direct diagonal (either (1) filtering TMs or (2) using RTMs),
    neither can be used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    Nope, because your filtering TM (or RTM) will still fail when it
    gets to the number of TURING'S H, as there is no correct answer for
    the machine built by that template.

    TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H DOESN'T EXIST, IT'S AN INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION

    (is that where H comes from??? _H_ypothetical???)



    in (1) the algo to compute an inverse diagonal is filtered out like >>>>> turing's paradoxical variation of the direct diagonal would be, and >>>>> there is no analogous non-paradoxical variation that has a hard
    coded value that is inverse to what it does return ... such a
    concept is entirely nonsensical. a function can only return what it >>>>> does, it can't also return the inverse to what it returns eh???

    But, if D filters it out, then it becomes circle-free, and thus your
    enumeration is incomlete.

    THE ANTI-DIAGONAL IS *NOT* A COMPUTABLE NUMBER BY TMs, SO IT *SHOULD*
    BE FILTERED OUT



    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just
    fails for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo
    urself (p7 of re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th/

    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually computable >>>>> given the direct diagonal φn()

    And why not. The fact that you are too ignorant to see how to do
    that, as you are thinking the only "reference" can be to "self",
    doesn't make you argument correct.

    BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CAPTURE THE NUANCES INVOLVED WITH SELF-REFERENCE,
    LIKE THE PARADOX FOUND IN TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H

    NEITHER METHOD I'VE HYPOTHESIZED ABOUT AN EXTANT H ALLOWS FOR
    INVERSE- H TO BE COMPUTED



    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across
    computable numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal
    across computable numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across >>>>>>> the computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal >>>>>>
    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and >>>>>> thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute >>>>>> computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that >>>>>>>> the attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue >>>>>>>> with effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for
    computing the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on
    his given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide
    correctly on H to compute a diagonal

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT WOULDN'T
    BE USED

    incredibly, ironically, AND not co-incidently: partial recognizer D
    *can* decide on the fixed H because the fixed H does not try to use
    any D on itself, so no self-referential paradox is possible in regards
    to it's own digit on the diagonal

    partial_recognizer_D(fixed_H) -> TRUE

    which is a decidably TRUE return value (therefore a dependable AND
    computable value)

    the fixed H is /decidable input/ to partial recognizer D (used in
    fixed H, which does not call any D itself), and would not be filtered
    out by paradox detectors

    the fact fixed H does not use any classifier D on itself, and instead
    returns a hard-coded value for it's own digit on the diagonal, is
    keystone in making it /decidable input/ to D

    holy fuck rick idk what to tell u anymore,

    that shit is rock solid theory.

    🤷🤷🤷


    And your "enumeration" isn't complete, and thus you are just anouncing
    that you thing errors are ok.

    The problem is fixed_H still need to run D on turing_H and it will fail
    on that.

    bro what part of the non-existence of turing_D or turing_H do you not understand???


    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it circle_free, then fixed_H gets hung up.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it not circle_free, then your
    enumeration is missing the circle_free H from its list, and thus doesn't make the right diagonal.

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D in a
    turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

    actual_turing_H = () -> {
    N = 1
    K = 0
    output = [] // written to F-squares
    do {
    if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE = satisfactory
    K += 1
    digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
    output.push(digit)
    }
    N += 1
    }
    }

    well since

    partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D classifier,
    when actually run actual_turing_H will simply skip putting it's own
    digit in the computed sequence

    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as fixed_H,
    which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so there is no actual
    need to include a digit from actual_turing_H on the diagonal, as the
    number it computes is already included on the diagonal

    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    🤷🤷🤷




    YOUR H still needs to know if Turing's H is a machine that generates
    a computable number to build the list of such machine to define the
    diagonal to compute.

    TURING'S H DOESN'T EXIST. TURING'S D DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. BOTH ARE
    INCOMPLETE INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS.>
    THE FIXED H DIAGONAL WOULD USE A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER D, WHICH WILL
    WORK JUST FINE ON THE ENUMERATION THAT HAS /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ TO D
    FILTERED FROM IT


    You seem to not understand the meaning of ALL.

    ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS =/= ALL MACHINES THAT COMPUTE COMPUTABLE NUMBERS




    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it >>>>>> will still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't
    specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /
    undecidable input/ of H, so therefore both D and H are an
    incomplete specifications of a machine

    Because "undecidability" doesn't affect the correct answer it must
    compute.

    THE SPACE OF TMs MACHINE IS NOT A PERFECT COMPUTATIONAL SPACE LIKE
    THEORY KEEPS CONFLATING IT WITH, IT HAS CERTAIN IDIOSYNCRASIES, AND
    IT CANNOT COMPUTE EVERYTHING THAT IS COMPUTABLE

    THE DECIDER THAT TURING HYPOTHESIZED _DOES NOT EXIST_, BECAUSE IT
    DOES NOT HANDLE THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF SELF-REFERENTIAL ANALYSIS, SO
    IT IS AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ OF A TM

    THAT IS THE *ACTUAL* REASON IT DOES NOT EXIST.


    Note, H, when it becomes an actual machine, because we have created
    an actual machine we claim to be the D, has an answer, and that D is
    always wrong.

    Thus, it isn't that machines claiming to be D and H can't exist,
    only machines CORRECTLY meeting the requirements of D and H can't
    exist.

    Thus, if your H depends on that D, (or a machine that meets its
    specification) then it also can't exist.

    You just make the error of saying the problems don't exist because
    you can't build them, but YOUR machine can, even though it has the
    same problem.



    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will >>>>>> compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL >>>>>> be circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus >>>>>> DOES produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    WHY ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT RUSSEL'S TEAPOT INSTEAD OF PROVIDING A
    FUCKING QUOTE TO TURING'S PAPER TO BACK THE *DIRECT* CLAIM YOU MADE???


    For THIS paradox, read the proof. for THIS H, the one given, (for
    which ever version of D you want to try to assume is right) D is
    just wrong.

    Thus, it doesn't matter if D can somehow "detect" the paradox,
    because there still isn't an answer it can give to H that will be
    correct, as the template for H will always make that D wrong.

    Note, the problem is you can't actually DEFINE what a "paradox
    machine" is, as they aren't actually machines, but templates that
    build machines. And that final machine doesn't have actually
    detectable tell-tales that show it to be from that template.


    (also why do always just make random assertions???)

    Because I am smart, and know what I am talking about.

    I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE KIND OF DISHONEST GARBAGE I HAVE TO WORK
    WITH, BUT OH WELL


    They only seem "random" because you don't know what you are talking
    about and believe in unicorns (and teapots)




    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not*
    classifiable as satisfactory by said classifier... can just be
    skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those
    that are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will >>>>>> not be complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as
    it will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable >>>>>>> numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which
    either *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in
    regards to *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of >>>>>> the computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with
    said machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /
    computable numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done,
    since ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you
    can't do what you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is
    not the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines >>>>> that compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates
    while (a) does not need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a)
    with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    Nope, as your (a) needs the machine D, which lets you filter the
    full list of machibe, which Turing showed can't exist.

    The problem is such a machine can't handle the classification of the
    H he describes. It doesn't matter that you can make a DIFFERENT
    machine, that you try to deceptively call "H" too that it won't have
    a problem with, when your "H" gets to the number of Turing's H, it
    still has the problem. It can call that one not circle-free, and
    thus omit a circle- free machine from the list, or call it circle-
    free, and when even YOU try to simulate it the k steps, you get
    stuck in a loop.


    (b) probably can't be done with TMs

    But if you can do (a), you can do (b).  You just need to take the
    code of (a), and invert the symbol put on the tape when it is
    written. Note, it won't be "self-referent", as the "N" is uses, is
    the N of YOUR H, not itself. The code for his (a) NEVER reads back
    what it wrote, so that doesn't affect its behavior.




    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical >>>>>>> machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without >>>>>>> such paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a

    No, that "paradoxical" isn't a definable property of a machine.

    Your attempt to REDEFINE self-reference to mean processing a

    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have >>>>>
    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine

    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different
    numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not self- >>>>> references

    Which is why the concept of "self-reference" doesn't work.



    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs,
    but doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number"
    doesn't actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the
    paradox detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating
    an actual problem

    Then show how you will do it.

    This means you need to detect a input that represents a machine that
    uses a computation equivalent to yourself



    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an
    input classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in
    regards to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    WHich doesn't exist.


    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

       und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

       paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier
    like such:

       undp = () -> {
         if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
           if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
       }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    And the problem is "paradox_free" can't exist as an always correct
    decider.


    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case
    doesn't run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine >>>>> is necessary for the particular input->output computation being
    done, so utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to
    filter out paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes
    will suffice to produce a turing complete subset of machines that
    can be totally classified by halts()

    But we can still build an input that your paradox_free() fails on.

    SO ACTUALLY DO IT??

    WHAT'S THE INPUT THAT CAUSES A FAILURE THAT ACTUALLY MUST BE INCLUDED
    ON THE DIAGONAL???





    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an

    it is wrong,

    No, YOU are wrong, as you don't understand what is being done.

    I think he is refering he to the standard anti-diagonal arguement, >>>>>> which shows that since for all n, position n differs from the
    value in number n, there can not be any element that matches the
    anti- diagonal.

    It is just a natural fact of countable infinity, something it

    Show how that is actually wrong.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's short >>>>> diagonal proof, but in writing this post i now find myself in a
    subtle, yet entirely critical disagreement:

    /let an be the n-th computable sequence, and let φn(m) be the m-th >>>>> figure in an. Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th.
    figure. Since β is computable, there exists a number K [== β] such >>>>> that 1- φn(n) = φK(n) for all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 = 2φK(K), >>>>> i.e. 1 is even. This is impossible/

    i agree with this proof is far as much as if β was computable (by
    TMs) we'd have a problem for sure,

    but what i don't agree is that we can just assume the computability
    of β from the existence of φn(m), THAT'S THE FALLACy


    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is
    computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal using
    the direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look simple,
    but this ignores the complexities of self-referential analysis
    (like what turing details on the next page)

    But you can, *IF* you have a machine that computes the diagonal,
    then just change all the write to the output to write the opposite.
    Note, the "self-reference" that you are thinking of stops being a
    "self- reference" but is a reference to the original write the
    diagonal code.


    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the
    direct diagonal (either (1) filtering TMs or (2) using RTMs),
    neither can be used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    Nope, because your filtering TM (or RTM) will still fail when it
    gets to the number of TURING'S H, as there is no correct answer for
    the machine built by that template.

    TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H DOESN'T EXIST, IT'S AN INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION

    (is that where H comes from??? _H_ypothetical???)



    in (1) the algo to compute an inverse diagonal is filtered out like >>>>> turing's paradoxical variation of the direct diagonal would be, and >>>>> there is no analogous non-paradoxical variation that has a hard
    coded value that is inverse to what it does return ... such a
    concept is entirely nonsensical. a function can only return what it >>>>> does, it can't also return the inverse to what it returns eh???

    But, if D filters it out, then it becomes circle-free, and thus your
    enumeration is incomlete.

    THE ANTI-DIAGONAL IS *NOT* A COMPUTABLE NUMBER BY TMs, SO IT *SHOULD*
    BE FILTERED OUT



    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just
    fails for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo
    urself (p7 of re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th/

    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually computable >>>>> given the direct diagonal φn()

    And why not. The fact that you are too ignorant to see how to do
    that, as you are thinking the only "reference" can be to "self",
    doesn't make you argument correct.

    BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CAPTURE THE NUANCES INVOLVED WITH SELF-REFERENCE,
    LIKE THE PARADOX FOUND IN TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H

    NEITHER METHOD I'VE HYPOTHESIZED ABOUT AN EXTANT H ALLOWS FOR
    INVERSE- H TO BE COMPUTED



    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across
    computable numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal
    across computable numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across >>>>>>> the computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal >>>>>>
    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, and >>>>>> thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a
    COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute >>>>>> computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct.


    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that >>>>>>>> the attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue >>>>>>>> with effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for
    computing the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on
    his given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H,
    because my response to this is that D does not need to decide
    correctly on H to compute a diagonal

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT WOULDN'T
    BE USED

    incredibly, ironically, AND not co-incidently: partial recognizer D
    *can* decide on the fixed H because the fixed H does not try to use
    any D on itself, so no self-referential paradox is possible in regards
    to it's own digit on the diagonal

    partial_recognizer_D(fixed_H) -> TRUE

    which is a decidably TRUE return value (therefore a dependable AND
    computable value)

    the fixed H is /decidable input/ to partial recognizer D (used in
    fixed H, which does not call any D itself), and would not be filtered
    out by paradox detectors

    the fact fixed H does not use any classifier D on itself, and instead
    returns a hard-coded value for it's own digit on the diagonal, is
    keystone in making it /decidable input/ to D

    holy fuck rick idk what to tell u anymore,

    that shit is rock solid theory.

    🤷🤷🤷


    And your "enumeration" isn't complete, and thus you are just anouncing
    that you thing errors are ok.

    The problem is fixed_H still need to run D on turing_H and it will fail
    on that.

    bro what part of the non-existence of turing_D or turing_H do you not understand???


    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it circle_free, then fixed_H gets hung up.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it not circle_free, then your
    enumeration is missing the circle_free H from its list, and thus doesn't make the right diagonal.


    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D in a
    turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

    actual_turing_H = () -> {
    N = 1
    K = 0
    output = [] // written to F-squares
    do {
    if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE = satisfactory
    K += 1
    digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
    output.push(digit)
    }
    N += 1
    }
    }

    well since

    partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D classifier,
    the actual_turing_H's actual runtime will simply skip putting it's own
    digit in the computed sequence

    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as fixed_H,
    which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so there is no actual
    need to include a digit from actual_turing_H on the diagonal, as the
    number it computes is already included on the diagonal!

    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    🤷🤷🤷




    YOUR H still needs to know if Turing's H is a machine that generates
    a computable number to build the list of such machine to define the
    diagonal to compute.

    TURING'S H DOESN'T EXIST. TURING'S D DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. BOTH ARE
    INCOMPLETE INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS.>
    THE FIXED H DIAGONAL WOULD USE A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER D, WHICH WILL
    WORK JUST FINE ON THE ENUMERATION THAT HAS /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ TO D
    FILTERED FROM IT


    You seem to not understand the meaning of ALL.

    ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS =/= ALL MACHINES THAT COMPUTE COMPUTABLE NUMBERS




    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it >>>>>> will still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't
    specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /
    undecidable input/ of H, so therefore both D and H are an
    incomplete specifications of a machine

    Because "undecidability" doesn't affect the correct answer it must
    compute.

    THE SPACE OF TMs MACHINE IS NOT A PERFECT COMPUTATIONAL SPACE LIKE
    THEORY KEEPS CONFLATING IT WITH, IT HAS CERTAIN IDIOSYNCRASIES, AND
    IT CANNOT COMPUTE EVERYTHING THAT IS COMPUTABLE

    THE DECIDER THAT TURING HYPOTHESIZED _DOES NOT EXIST_, BECAUSE IT
    DOES NOT HANDLE THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF SELF-REFERENTIAL ANALYSIS, SO
    IT IS AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ OF A TM

    THAT IS THE *ACTUAL* REASON IT DOES NOT EXIST.


    Note, H, when it becomes an actual machine, because we have created
    an actual machine we claim to be the D, has an answer, and that D is
    always wrong.

    Thus, it isn't that machines claiming to be D and H can't exist,
    only machines CORRECTLY meeting the requirements of D and H can't
    exist.

    Thus, if your H depends on that D, (or a machine that meets its
    specification) then it also can't exist.

    You just make the error of saying the problems don't exist because
    you can't build them, but YOUR machine can, even though it has the
    same problem.



    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will >>>>>> compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H WILL >>>>>> be circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and thus >>>>>> DOES produce an computable number that your computation misses.

    WHY ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT RUSSEL'S TEAPOT INSTEAD OF PROVIDING A
    FUCKING QUOTE TO TURING'S PAPER TO BACK THE *DIRECT* CLAIM YOU MADE???


    For THIS paradox, read the proof. for THIS H, the one given, (for
    which ever version of D you want to try to assume is right) D is
    just wrong.

    Thus, it doesn't matter if D can somehow "detect" the paradox,
    because there still isn't an answer it can give to H that will be
    correct, as the template for H will always make that D wrong.

    Note, the problem is you can't actually DEFINE what a "paradox
    machine" is, as they aren't actually machines, but templates that
    build machines. And that final machine doesn't have actually
    detectable tell-tales that show it to be from that template.


    (also why do always just make random assertions???)

    Because I am smart, and know what I am talking about.

    I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE KIND OF DISHONEST GARBAGE I HAVE TO WORK
    WITH, BUT OH WELL


    They only seem "random" because you don't know what you are talking
    about and believe in unicorns (and teapots)




    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not*
    classifiable as satisfactory by said classifier... can just be
    skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, not those
    that are but it can not classify as such, or your enumeration will >>>>>> not be complete, and thus just in error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL machines (as
    it will be asked about all machines as it counts through all the
    descriptions) and thus Turing's H *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out computable >>>>>>> numbers already included on this diagonal, any machine which
    either *is* computably equivalent OR *is not* classifiable in
    regards to *any* machine already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might lose some of >>>>>> the computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* /machines/, with
    said machines, but u can compute a diagonal across *all* /
    computable numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done,
    since ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you
    can't do what you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is
    not the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all machines >>>>> that compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates
    while (a) does not need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a)
    with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    Nope, as your (a) needs the machine D, which lets you filter the
    full list of machibe, which Turing showed can't exist.

    The problem is such a machine can't handle the classification of the
    H he describes. It doesn't matter that you can make a DIFFERENT
    machine, that you try to deceptively call "H" too that it won't have
    a problem with, when your "H" gets to the number of Turing's H, it
    still has the problem. It can call that one not circle-free, and
    thus omit a circle- free machine from the list, or call it circle-
    free, and when even YOU try to simulate it the k steps, you get
    stuck in a loop.


    (b) probably can't be done with TMs

    But if you can do (a), you can do (b).  You just need to take the
    code of (a), and invert the symbol put on the tape when it is
    written. Note, it won't be "self-referent", as the "N" is uses, is
    the N of YOUR H, not itself. The code for his (a) NEVER reads back
    what it wrote, so that doesn't affect its behavior.




    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical >>>>>>> machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without >>>>>>> such paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a

    No, that "paradoxical" isn't a definable property of a machine.

       und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    und() includes a structural paradoxical in relation to the classifier
    halts(), easily demonstrable thru a short proof i've done many times

    i'm sorry, you have an issue with me labeling a number that

    Sure, because it is just a number. The problem is that you still have >>>>>
    it's a *specific* number that has the currently running machine

    problems with all the "equivalent" machines that have different
    numbers.

    those are references to functionally equivalent machines, not self- >>>>> references

    Which is why the concept of "self-reference" doesn't work.



    It may let you filter out the simplest case used in the proofs,
    but doesn't solve the actual problem, as the "Machine Number"
    doesn't actually fully identify the problematic cases.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the
    paradox detector while filter *out* paradoxes to point of creating
    an actual problem

    Then show how you will do it.

    This means you need to detect a input that represents a machine that
    uses a computation equivalent to yourself



    let halts be a halting classifier that takes an input machines and
    returns true/false whether it halts or not

    let paradox_free be a paradox filtering classifier that takes an
    input classifier, and an input machine to search for paradoxes in
    regards to: paradox_free(classifier, machine)

    WHich doesn't exist.


    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

       und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

       paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox classifier
    like such:

       undp = () -> {
         if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
           if ( halts(undp) ) loop()
       }

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a
    halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    And the problem is "paradox_free" can't exist as an always correct
    decider.


    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case
    doesn't run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a machine >>>>> is necessary for the particular input->output computation being
    done, so utilizing the return paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to
    filter out paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes
    will suffice to produce a turing complete subset of machines that
    can be totally classified by halts()

    But we can still build an input that your paradox_free() fails on.

    SO ACTUALLY DO IT??

    WHAT'S THE INPUT THAT CAUSES A FAILURE THAT ACTUALLY MUST BE INCLUDED
    ON THE DIAGONAL???





    i think a major problem with the consensus perspective is an
    expectation of a certain cleanliness in the logic as being the only >>>>> possibility here to compute what we want. TM's can't achieve that,
    but something slightly messier can.

    Doesn't work.

    more humility would do u wonders dick

    Could say the same about you.

    The problem is YOU are the one making stupid claims, not me, thus YOU
    are the one showing stupidity on insisting on lies.


    So, what answer does that quine based decider give for the question
    about itself?

    it's not the decider that has a quine, it's the diagonal computation
    H that uses D that has the quine to recognize H.

    But the problem is it isn;t the Diagonal Computation that is said to
    be impossible, but the decider.

    The H he descrives still exists, even if you make your variant, but
    that H can't be decided on.


    when the diagonal computation recognizes it's own number in the total
    machine enumeration, it never asks the decider on itself, when it
    identifies itself in the total machine numeration it adds some fixed
    digit to the diagonal instead of recursively getting stuck in
    simulating itself.

    So, as I said, it isn't the diagonal computation that is said to be
    impossible, just the decider that enumerates the diagonal machines.

    WHat does that decider do for the non-quine version described.


    doesn't matter what digit: both are different machines, with
    different indexes in the enumeration, that compute the diagonal

    So? what does D do with the original H.

    This is your problem, you don't pay attention to the problem being
    actually defined.

    It is a bit like the "pathological" input for the halting problem.



    Either answer is still wrong.


    And how is being "quine based" keep it from being "fixed".

    It still is only one unique machine.


    u ofc don't know what i'm talking about and have demonstrated no
    capability to hold a coherent conversation

    No, YOU keep on making categorical errors not knowing the real
    meaning of the terms you are using.


    Since, as I pointed out, you LEFT the system in your first page by >>>>>> claiming falsehoods, you didn't prove anything in the system you

    but turing's purpose was the construct a contradiction, not

    WHAT OTHER "INTERFACES"?

    i've described a variety of them thus far

    Really?

    Not in the rules of Computation Theory, as your machines aren't
    machine as they don't include all their algorithm.

    u haven't defined the rules of computation theory, u just make
    random claims about it whenever the fuck

    I don't need to do that, as they ARE already defined in the literature. >>>
    and which literature defines "the rules"???

    The "Literature", as a collection.

    Yes, part of the problem is that they were more focused on the goal of
    figuring if this class of "decision" problems were do able, no one
    actually sat down (as far as I know) to formally and definitively
    define it as a system, and in fact, you see some comments in the
    writing about disagreeing and refining the definitions. But the basic
    concept is fairly clear if you read much of the writting and remember
    what they were working on. Was there some defined algorithmic method
    that could be used to answer the tough problems they were coming up on
    in mathematics and logic.







    He shows a problem that can not be decided. PERIOD.

    Your "Interface" seems to be one of your undefinable terms.

    i've defined it many times to u

    No, you use the word but not DEFINE it.

    it is the specification that a machine computes, or possibly some
    meta- specification

    In other words, you are "solving" a problem by solving some other
    problem?


    but u don't debate honorably dick, u just reject every i say even
    when i agree

    It seems you are just admitting your logic is based on lying,

    If I have a classification decision problem, that problem has a
    specification of indicating which class an input lies in.

    What other "specification" can exist?

    All you seem to want to do is say that if you don't need to answer
    the question, you can answer the question.

    In other words, you want to make lies be truth.

    Your problem is that you fundamentally don't understand what you are
    talking about, as your world seems to be based on the assumption
    that things don't need to be what they are, and that lies are valid.

    no pseudo-code = no convincing

    Simplified version assuming D taks D.N instead of S.D

    def H:
       let N = 1
       let K = 0
       do:
         if D (N) is satisified:
           let K = K + 1
           simulate S.D corresponding to N till it produces K symbols
           output that K'th symbol
         Let N = N + 1


    i want to thank you for actually doing this,

    and i do agree it's correct,

    the rest of ur analysis notwithstanding...

    And such a program CAN be created if D can possibly exist.

    That means that ANY attempt to implement the "Interface" defined for D
    must fail to be implementable.

    Thus, YOUR H, which needs such a D to even HAVE the complete enumeration
    of machines also can not exist. Your H can't avoid the problem by not
    calling D on itself, as the issue isn't D needing to decide on your H,
    but on Turing's H. Either your claimed D skips all version of Turing's H calling them non-circle free (which will be circle-free if D is such a machine), or it gives you a non-circle free H that will hang you up.

    And thus, YOU need to prove any of your claims about not needing such an enumeration to build the COMPLETE enumeration of computable numbers,
    even though you have skipped an infinite set of machines that compute a particular number. And you need to show how you would build your version
    of D that skips that set of Turing's Hs.



    Note, each implementation of this pseudo code will have a number N.

    IF D only is statisfied by circle-free programs, that is programs that
    continue to produce outputs then this program MUST be circle free as
    long as the following are true:

    * D itself must be halting, and always produce an answer (which is part
       of its definition to exist)
    * There must be an infinite number of circle-free programs

    And we then get to the delemma mentions on page 247,

    When given this program to decide on, if it says that it is NOT
    circle- free, then it WILL continue to produce output forever and thus
    show that it WAS circle-free and thus D was wrong.

    If it says that H is circle-free, then it will simulate itself until
    it produces K outputs, but after that simulation produces K-1 outputs,
    it will itself simulate itself and so on into the infinte loop.

    Talking about a DIFFERENT machine, with a DIFFERENT D.N is irrelevant,
    that other machine isn't this one,



    i would ask if u care about convincing me,

    Not really, just showing you are wrong.

    Since you don't care about truth, you might not be convincible.


    but clearly u don't

    and if u don't care about convincing me,

    then ur debate is not honorable, it is engaged with a lack of care,
    so ofc it wouldn't be honorable, and that requires care


    My goal is to keep others, who want to know, from falling into your lies.

    YOU, not willing to define your terms, are the unhonerable one.

    it is wrong,

    No, YOU are wrong, as you don't understand what is being done.

    I think he is refering he to the standard anti-diagonal
    arguement, which shows that since for all n, position n differs >>>>>>> from the value in number n, there can not be any element that
    matches the anti- diagonal.

    It is just a natural fact of countable infinity, something it

    Show how that is actually wrong.

    wow, u know up until now, i thot i fully agreed with turing's
    short diagonal proof, but in writing this post i now find myself
    in a subtle, yet entirely critical disagreement:

    /let an be the n-th computable sequence, and let φn(m) be the m-th >>>>>> figure in an. Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th.
    figure. Since β is computable, there exists a number K [== β] such >>>>>> that 1- φn(n) = φK(n) for all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 =
    2φK(K), i.e. 1 is even. This is impossible/

    i agree with this proof is far as much as if β was computable (by
    TMs) we'd have a problem for sure,

    but what i don't agree is that we can just assume the computability
    of β from the existence of φn(m), THAT'S THE FALLACy


    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is
    computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal using >>>>>> the direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look simple, >>>>>> but this ignores the complexities of self-referential analysis
    (like what turing details on the next page)

    But you can, *IF* you have a machine that computes the diagonal,
    then just change all the write to the output to write the opposite. >>>>> Note, the "self-reference" that you are thinking of stops being a

    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the

    neither can be used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    it does, it can't also return the inverse to what it returns eh???

    But, if D filters it out, then it becomes circle-free, and thus
    your enumeration is incomlete.

    THE ANTI-DIAGONAL IS *NOT* A COMPUTABLE NUMBER BY TMs, SO IT
    *SHOULD* BE FILTERED OUT



    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just
    fails for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo
    urself (p7 of re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th/

    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually computable >>>>>> given the direct diagonal φn()

    And why not. The fact that you are too ignorant to see how to do
    that, as you are thinking the only "reference" can be to "self",
    doesn't make you argument correct.

    BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CAPTURE THE NUANCES INVOLVED WITH SELF-REFERENCE,
    LIKE THE PARADOX FOUND IN TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H

    NEITHER METHOD I'VE HYPOTHESIZED ABOUT AN EXTANT H ALLOWS FOR
    INVERSE- H TO BE COMPUTED



    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across
    computable numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal >>>>>>>> across computable numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the
    enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation across >>>>>>>> the computable numbers can be used to compute the inverse diagonal >>>>>>>
    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration,
    and thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a >>>>>>> COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that compute >>>>>>> computable numbers, in some definite order.

    If your enumeration isn't complete, your diagonal isn't correct. >>>>>>>

    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not
    computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not
    computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the
    other machines, including his original H that doesn't use your
    "trick"




    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that the >>>>>>>>> Decider "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate the >>>>>>>>> sequence of machine that produce computable numbers can not esit. >>>>>>>>>
    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out that >>>>>>>>> the attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the issue >>>>>>>>> with effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for
    computing the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on >>>>>>> his given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's H, >>>>>> because my response to this is that D does not need to decide
    correctly on H to compute a diagonal

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT
    WOULDN'T BE USED

    incredibly, ironically, AND not co-incidently: partial recognizer D
    *can* decide on the fixed H because the fixed H does not try to use
    any D on itself, so no self-referential paradox is possible in
    regards to it's own digit on the diagonal

    partial_recognizer_D(fixed_H) -> TRUE

    which is a decidably TRUE return value (therefore a dependable AND
    computable value)

    the fixed H is /decidable input/ to partial recognizer D (used in
    fixed H, which does not call any D itself), and would not be filtered
    out by paradox detectors

    the fact fixed H does not use any classifier D on itself, and instead
    returns a hard-coded value for it's own digit on the diagonal, is
    keystone in making it /decidable input/ to D

    holy fuck rick idk what to tell u anymore,

    that shit is rock solid theory.

    🤷🤷🤷


    And your "enumeration" isn't complete, and thus you are just anouncing
    that you thing errors are ok.

    The problem is fixed_H still need to run D on turing_H and it will
    fail on that.

    bro what part of the non-existence of turing_D or turing_H do you not understand???

    But if your fD exists, then Turing_H that uses your D exists, and will
    give that D the problem, and fixed_H will call your D on turing_H and it
    still needs to answer about it.



    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it circle_free, then fixed_H gets hung
    up.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it not circle_free, then your
    enumeration is missing the circle_free H from its list, and thus
    doesn't make the right diagonal.

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D in a
    turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

      actual_turing_H = () -> {
        N = 1
        K = 0
        output = []                               // written to F-squares
        do {
          if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) {  // TRUE = satisfactory
            K += 1
            digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
            output.push(digit)
          }
          N += 1
        }
      }

    well since

      partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D classifier,
    when actually run actual_turing_H will simply skip putting it's own
    digit in the computed sequence


    But the problem is that for a given partial_recognizer_D, the
    actual_turing_H isn't an "undecidable input", as it has definite
    behavior, just behavior that partial_recognizer_D gets wrong.

    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will get wrong,
    then it can just return the different answer, and then THAT machine it
    will get right. The problem is it creates a DIFFERENT input, that uses
    this new version of the machine, that it will get wrong.


    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as fixed_H,
    which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so there is no actual
    need to include a digit from actual_turing_H on the diagonal, as the
    number it computes is already included on the diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of
    actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can possible
    filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but still accept some
    machine that computes that particular number that it would compute with
    this supposedly correct partial_recognizer_D.

    You can't ask someone to disprove it, as that is just admitting that you accept that Russel's Teapot must exist.


    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the fairy dust,
    of assuming that your partial decider that meets ALL your needs exists,


    🤷🤷🤷




    YOUR H still needs to know if Turing's H is a machine that
    generates a computable number to build the list of such machine to
    define the diagonal to compute.

    TURING'S H DOESN'T EXIST. TURING'S D DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. BOTH ARE
    INCOMPLETE INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS.>
    THE FIXED H DIAGONAL WOULD USE A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER D, WHICH WILL
    WORK JUST FINE ON THE ENUMERATION THAT HAS /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ TO D
    FILTERED FROM IT


    You seem to not understand the meaning of ALL.

    ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS =/= ALL MACHINES THAT COMPUTE COMPUTABLE NUMBERS >>>>



    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on itself, it >>>>>>> will still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he doesn't
    specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering the /
    undecidable input/ of H, so therefore both D and H are an
    incomplete specifications of a machine

    Because "undecidability" doesn't affect the correct answer it must
    compute.

    THE SPACE OF TMs MACHINE IS NOT A PERFECT COMPUTATIONAL SPACE LIKE
    THEORY KEEPS CONFLATING IT WITH, IT HAS CERTAIN IDIOSYNCRASIES, AND
    IT CANNOT COMPUTE EVERYTHING THAT IS COMPUTABLE

    THE DECIDER THAT TURING HYPOTHESIZED _DOES NOT EXIST_, BECAUSE IT
    DOES NOT HANDLE THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF SELF-REFERENTIAL ANALYSIS, SO
    IT IS AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ OF A TM

    THAT IS THE *ACTUAL* REASON IT DOES NOT EXIST.


    Note, H, when it becomes an actual machine, because we have created >>>>> an actual machine we claim to be the D, has an answer, and that D
    is always wrong.

    Thus, it isn't that machines claiming to be D and H can't exist,
    only machines CORRECTLY meeting the requirements of D and H can't
    exist.

    Thus, if your H depends on that D, (or a machine that meets its
    specification) then it also can't exist.

    You just make the error of saying the problems don't exist because
    you can't build them, but YOUR machine can, even though it has the
    same problem.



    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H will >>>>>>> compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of his H
    WILL be circle free (since it never tries to simulate itself) and >>>>>>> thus DOES produce an computable number that your computation misses. >>>>>>>
    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then when you >>>>>>> H tries to process it, it will get stuck in the infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in order,

    (your D must have this flaw, as no D without exists), and thus
    you will be wrong on THAT input. IT doesn't matter if you get a >>>>>>> good answer for yourself.

    Right, which he shows can not be done.

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out such

    In other words, you beleive unquestionably in the existance of
    Russle's teapot until someone can prove it doesn't exist.

    BRO U LITERALLY CLAIMED TURING SHOWS FILTERING OUT PARADOXES CAN'T

    WHY ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT RUSSEL'S TEAPOT INSTEAD OF PROVIDING A
    FUCKING QUOTE TO TURING'S PAPER TO BACK THE *DIRECT* CLAIM YOU MADE??? >>>>

    For THIS paradox, read the proof. for THIS H, the one given, (for
    which ever version of D you want to try to assume is right) D is
    just wrong.

    Thus, it doesn't matter if D can somehow "detect" the paradox,
    because there still isn't an answer it can give to H that will be
    correct, as the template for H will always make that D wrong.

    Note, the problem is you can't actually DEFINE what a "paradox
    machine" is, as they aren't actually machines, but templates that
    build machines. And that final machine doesn't have actually
    detectable tell-tales that show it to be from that template.


    (also why do always just make random assertions???)

    Because I am smart, and know what I am talking about.

    I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE KIND OF DISHONEST GARBAGE I HAVE TO WORK

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be done,
    since ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an error, you
    can't do what you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable numbers/ is
    not the same thing as (b) computing the enumeration of all
    machines that compute computable numbers. (b) necessarily has
    duplicates while (a) does not need them. turing's paper wrongly
    conflates (a) with (b)

    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    Nope, as your (a) needs the machine D, which lets you filter the
    full list of machibe, which Turing showed can't exist.

    The problem is such a machine can't handle the classification of
    the H he describes. It doesn't matter that you can make a DIFFERENT >>>>> machine, that you try to deceptively call "H" too that it won't
    have a problem with, when your "H" gets to the number of Turing's
    H, it still has the problem. It can call that one not circle-free,
    and thus omit a circle- free machine from the list, or call it

    (b) probably can't be done with TMs

    But if you can do (a), you can do (b).  You just need to take the
    code of (a), and invert the symbol put on the tape when it is
    written. Note, it won't be "self-referent", as the "N" is uses, is
    the N of YOUR H, not itself. The code for his (a) NEVER reads back
    what it wrote, so that doesn't affect its behavior.




    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any paradoxical >>>>>>>> machine, there exists a functionally equivalent machine without >>>>>>>> such paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't actually a

    i'm sorry, are you actually saying the machine description does

    No, that "paradoxical" isn't a definable property of a machine.

    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

    then:

    And the problem is "paradox_free" can't exist as an always correct

    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that if case

    i agree with this proof is far as much as if β was computable (by
    TMs) we'd have a problem for sure,

    but what i don't agree is that we can just assume the computability >>>>> of β from the existence of φn(m), THAT'S THE FALLACy


    the fallacy here is assuming that because the direct diagonal is >>>>>>> computable, that one can therefore compute the anti-diagonal
    using the direct diagonal. the abstract definition makes it look >>>>>>> simple, but this ignores the complexities of self-referential
    analysis (like what turing details on the next page)

    But you can, *IF* you have a machine that computes the diagonal,
    then just change all the write to the output to write the
    opposite. Note, the "self-reference" that you are thinking of
    stops being a "self- reference" but is a reference to the original >>>>>> write the diagonal code.


    in both methods i have for rectifying the paradox found in the
    direct diagonal (either (1) filtering TMs or (2) using RTMs),
    neither can be used to then compute the anti-diagonal

    Nope, because your filtering TM (or RTM) will still fail when it
    gets to the number of TURING'S H, as there is no correct answer
    for the machine built by that template.

    TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H DOESN'T EXIST, IT'S AN INCOMPLETE
    SPECIFICATION

    (is that where H comes from??? _H_ypothetical???)



    in (1) the algo to compute an inverse diagonal is filtered out
    like turing's paradoxical variation of the direct diagonal would >>>>>>> be, and there is no analogous non-paradoxical variation that has >>>>>>> a hard coded value that is inverse to what it does return ...
    such a concept is entirely nonsensical. a function can only
    return what it does, it can't also return the inverse to what it >>>>>>> returns eh???

    But, if D filters it out, then it becomes circle-free, and thus
    your enumeration is incomlete.

    THE ANTI-DIAGONAL IS *NOT* A COMPUTABLE NUMBER BY TMs, SO IT
    *SHOULD* BE FILTERED OUT



    in (2) the attempt to compute an inverse diagonal with RTMs just >>>>>>> fails for reasons u'd only understand by working thru the algo
    urself (p7 of re: turing's diagonals)

    the premise:

    /Let β be the sequence with 1-φn(m) as its n-th/

    is just not sufficient evidence that such β is actually
    computable given the direct diagonal φn()

    And why not. The fact that you are too ignorant to see how to do
    that, as you are thinking the only "reference" can be to "self",
    doesn't make you argument correct.

    BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CAPTURE THE NUANCES INVOLVED WITH SELF-
    REFERENCE, LIKE THE PARADOX FOUND IN TURING'S HYPOTHETICAL H

    NEITHER METHOD I'VE HYPOTHESIZED ABOUT AN EXTANT H ALLOWS FOR
    INVERSE- H TO BE COMPUTED



    one cannot just assume that because the diagonal across
    computable numbers is computable, therefore the anti-diagonal >>>>>>>>> across computable numbers is computable...

    He doesn't. You are just showing your stupidity,


    He is proving the enumeration is uncomputable, and without the >>>>>>>> enumeration, you can't compute either of them.


    neither method i have for fixing the diagonal computation
    across the computable numbers can be used to compute the
    inverse diagonal

    But your method still doesn't let you compute the enumeration, >>>>>>>> and thus you can't actually compute the diagonal.

    Remember, the problem definitions requires that the listing be a >>>>>>>> COMPLETE listing of the computable numbers / machine that

    so while i agree with turing that the anti-diagonal is not
    computable, i don't agree that the normal diagonal is not
    computable

    Why?

    How does D decide on the original H?

    Your modified H still needs a correct D to decide on all the
    other machines, including his original H that doesn't use your >>>>>>>> "trick"




    But instead, he can prove with a more obvious process, that >>>>>>>>>> the Decider "D" that could be used to effectively enumerate >>>>>>>>>> the sequence of machine that produce computable numbers can >>>>>>>>>> not esit.

    Thus, he clearly knows the difference, but is pointing out >>>>>>>>>> that the attempt to compute the diagonal clearly reveals the >>>>>>>>>> issue with effectively enumerating the sequences.

    well, he didn't consider that perhaps the proper algo for
    computing the diagonal can avoid the paradox on itself ...

    But it doesn't.

    Your just don't understand that D just can't correctly decide on >>>>>>>> his given H.

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on turing's >>>>>>> H, because my response to this is that D does not need to decide >>>>>>> correctly on H to compute a diagonal

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT
    WOULDN'T BE USED

    incredibly, ironically, AND not co-incidently: partial recognizer D
    *can* decide on the fixed H because the fixed H does not try to use
    any D on itself, so no self-referential paradox is possible in
    regards to it's own digit on the diagonal

    partial_recognizer_D(fixed_H) -> TRUE

    which is a decidably TRUE return value (therefore a dependable AND
    computable value)

    the fixed H is /decidable input/ to partial recognizer D (used in
    fixed H, which does not call any D itself), and would not be
    filtered out by paradox detectors

    the fact fixed H does not use any classifier D on itself, and
    instead returns a hard-coded value for it's own digit on the
    diagonal, is keystone in making it /decidable input/ to D

    holy fuck rick idk what to tell u anymore,

    that shit is rock solid theory.

    🤷🤷🤷


    And your "enumeration" isn't complete, and thus you are just
    anouncing that you thing errors are ok.

    The problem is fixed_H still need to run D on turing_H and it will
    fail on that.

    bro what part of the non-existence of turing_D or turing_H do you not
    understand???

    But if your fD exists, then Turing_H that uses your D exists, and will
    give that D the problem, and fixed_H will call your D on turing_H and it still needs to answer about it.



    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it circle_free, then fixed_H gets
    hung up.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it not circle_free, then your
    enumeration is missing the circle_free H from its list, and thus
    doesn't make the right diagonal.

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D in a
    turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

       actual_turing_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                               // written to F-squares
         do {
           if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) {  // TRUE = satisfactory >>          K += 1
             digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
             output.push(digit)
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    well since

       partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D classifier,
    when actually run actual_turing_H will simply skip putting it's own
    digit in the computed sequence


    But the problem is that for a given partial_recognizer_D, the actual_turing_H isn't an "undecidable input", as it has definite
    behavior, just behavior that partial_recognizer_D gets wrong.

    this is unfortunately a fallacious understanding of undecidability. just because a machine is /undecidable input/ to a particular classifier does
    mean we cannot then prove and know ourselves what the machine actually does,

    undecidability only actually exists as a relationship between a
    particular machine and the particular classifier it creates a structural paradox for,

    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's behavior
    that u are trying to treat it as,

    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an /incomplete specification/ of machine and therefor _does not even exist_ as a real
    TM, not because of the hypothesized undecidability in relation to some D

    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we can
    know/prove what it does. it, however, still forms a structural paradox
    in regards to partial_recognizer_D which will fail to classify it as circle-free


    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will get wrong,
    then it can just return the different answer, and then THAT machine it
    will get right. The problem is it creates a DIFFERENT input, that uses
    this new version of the machine, that it will get wrong.


    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as fixed_H,
    which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so there is no
    actual need to include a digit from actual_turing_H on the diagonal,
    as the number it computes is already included on the diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can possible
    filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but still accept some machine that computes that particular number that it would compute with
    this supposedly correct partial_recognizer_D.

    You can't ask someone to disprove it, as that is just admitting that you accept that Russel's Teapot must exist.


    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the fairy dust,
    of assuming that your partial decider that meets ALL your needs exists,


    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference between fixed_H
    and actual_turing_H is the way they respectively handle their own self-references. they function identically when handling all other machines

    fixed_H = () -> {
    N = 1
    K = 0
    output = [] // written to F-squares
    do {
    if (N == DN(fixed_H) {
    K += 1
    output.push(0) // hard coded digit 0
    } elif (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE = satisfactory
    K += 1
    output.push(simulate_Kth_digit(N,K))
    }
    N += 1
    }
    }

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(fixed_H) itself, it will skip trying to simulate itself and put it's hard coded digit on the diagonal, which for fixed_H is 0

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H), it will skip trying
    simulate actual_turing_H because partial_recognizer_D fails to classify
    it as circle-free

    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H) itself, it will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, because partial_recognizer_D
    fails to classify it as circle-free

    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(fixed_H), partial_recognizer_D *successfully* classifies fixed_H as satisfactory, so it will simulate
    fixed_H to it's Kth digit, the one hard-coded into fixed_H

    both skip simulating actual_turing_H (which would be circular logic in
    either case), fixed_H also skips simulating itself (also circular
    logic), while actual_turing_H actually *does* simulate fixed_H
    successfully for it's Kth digit on the diagonal. these machines compute
    the *same* number/sequence!

    see, not only is defining a value in fixed_H that the diagonal
    computation can put for itself in diagonal essential in making the
    diagonal actually computable, so is partial_recognizer_D skipping over actual_turing_H to avoid the computability paradox!

    ultimately, in order to compute a diagonal across computable numbers, partial_recognizer_D only needs to successfully classify *one* of the _infinitely_ many machines that compute any given computable number...

    shit rick, idk how ur still denying what's right under ur nose,

    but this rock is so hard, it's becoming pure diamond

    💎💎💎

    (someone make a diamond hands emoji eh???)

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the

    Then show how you will do it.

    This means you need to detect a input that represents a machine

    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

    then:

       paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run a >>>>>>> halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts().

    THE ANTI-DIAGONAL IS *NOT* A COMPUTABLE NUMBER BY TMs, SO IT

    the premise:

    BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CAPTURE THE NUANCES INVOLVED WITH SELF-

    no idea why ur claiming that

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT
    WOULDN'T BE USED

    incredibly, ironically, AND not co-incidently: partial recognizer D >>>>> *can* decide on the fixed H because the fixed H does not try to use >>>>> any D on itself, so no self-referential paradox is possible in
    regards to it's own digit on the diagonal

    partial_recognizer_D(fixed_H) -> TRUE

    which is a decidably TRUE return value (therefore a dependable AND
    computable value)

    the fixed H is /decidable input/ to partial recognizer D (used in
    fixed H, which does not call any D itself), and would not be
    filtered out by paradox detectors

    the fact fixed H does not use any classifier D on itself, and
    instead returns a hard-coded value for it's own digit on the
    diagonal, is keystone in making it /decidable input/ to D

    holy fuck rick idk what to tell u anymore,

    that shit is rock solid theory.

    🤷🤷🤷


    And your "enumeration" isn't complete, and thus you are just
    anouncing that you thing errors are ok.

    The problem is fixed_H still need to run D on turing_H and it will
    fail on that.

    bro what part of the non-existence of turing_D or turing_H do you not
    understand???

    But if your fD exists, then Turing_H that uses your D exists, and will
    give that D the problem, and fixed_H will call your D on turing_H and
    it still needs to answer about it.



    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it circle_free, then fixed_H gets
    hung up.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it not circle_free, then your
    enumeration is missing the circle_free H from its list, and thus
    doesn't make the right diagonal.

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D in a
    turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

       actual_turing_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                               // written to F-squares
         do {
           if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) {  // TRUE = satisfactory
             K += 1
             digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
             output.push(digit)
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    well since

       partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D
    classifier, when actually run actual_turing_H will simply skip
    putting it's own digit in the computed sequence


    But the problem is that for a given partial_recognizer_D, the
    actual_turing_H isn't an "undecidable input", as it has definite
    behavior, just behavior that partial_recognizer_D gets wrong.

    this is unfortunately a fallacious understanding of undecidability. just because a machine is /undecidable input/ to a particular classifier does mean we cannot then prove and know ourselves what the machine actually
    does,


    But, we aren't looking at "undecidable inputs", as these inputs are not "undecidable", but by the time that they have actually been made into an input, and thus first had the program created, which required creating
    the instance of the decider selctected, they have definite behavior that
    other some decider can determine.

    It is only that one selected candidate decider chosen to build the input
    that is shown to get the wrong answer.

    undecidability only actually exists as a relationship between a
    particular machine and the particular classifier it creates a structural paradox for,


    In other words, you don't understand what "undecidability" actually is.

    Undecidability, means that there does not exist ANY decider that can get
    the right answer for all instances of the problem, (or if the problem
    has been reduced to just that one input, for that input).

    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's behavior
    that u are trying to treat it as,

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".




    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an /incomplete specification/ of machine and therefor _does not even exist_ as a real
    TM, not because of the hypothesized undecidability in relation to some D

    It is ONLY "incomplete", because it is built on a PRESUMED defined
    machine. If the decider "D" actually exists, then H is FULLY defined.


    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we can know/ prove what it does. it, however, still forms a structural paradox in
    regards to partial_recognizer_D which will fail to classify it as circle-free

    But, since you admit to actual_turing_H existing, that means that pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.






    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will get
    wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and then THAT
    machine it will get right. The problem is it creates a DIFFERENT
    input, that uses this new version of the machine, that it will get wrong.


    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as fixed_H,
    which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so there is no
    actual need to include a digit from actual_turing_H on the diagonal,
    as the number it computes is already included on the diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of
    actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can possible
    filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but still accept some
    machine that computes that particular number that it would compute
    with this supposedly correct partial_recognizer_D.

    You can't ask someone to disprove it, as that is just admitting that
    you accept that Russel's Teapot must exist.


    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the fairy
    dust, of assuming that your partial decider that meets ALL your needs
    exists,


    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference between fixed_H
    and actual_turing_H is the way they respectively handle their own self- references. they function identically when handling all other machines

    But the problem isn't in it handling the machine fixed_H, but how it
    ever handles the results generated by actual_turing_H, which by your assumption has become a cycle-free machine and ALL equivalent versions
    of it have been partially declared to be non-cycle free.

    This means that your enumeration of machines you are looking at is, in
    fact, incomplete, thus the diagonal you computed is wrong.


      fixed_H = () -> {
        N = 1
        K = 0
        output = []                                  // written to F-squares
        do {
          if (N == DN(fixed_H) {
        K += 1
            output.push(0)                           // hard coded digit 0
          } elif (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE = satisfactory
            K += 1
            output.push(simulate_Kth_digit(N,K))
          }
          N += 1
        }
      }

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(fixed_H) itself, it will skip trying to simulate itself and put it's hard coded digit on the diagonal, which for fixed_H is 0

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H), it will skip trying simulate actual_turing_H because partial_recognizer_D fails to classify
    it as circle-free

    But actual_turing_H is actually circle_free, and thus its results SHOULD
    have been on the diagonal.


    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H) itself, it will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, because partial_recognizer_D
    fails to classify it as circle-free

    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal of the circle-free machines.


    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(fixed_H), partial_recognizer_D *successfully* classifies fixed_H as satisfactory, so it will simulate fixed_H to it's Kth digit, the one hard-coded into fixed_H

    both skip simulating actual_turing_H (which would be circular logic in either case), fixed_H also skips simulating itself (also circular
    logic), while actual_turing_H actually *does* simulate fixed_H
    successfully for it's Kth digit on the diagonal. these machines compute
    the *same* number/sequence!

    Except that by your partial_recognizer being just partial, it has
    dropped required items from the enumeration.

    THis is becides the fact that you still need to show how you plan on
    actually detecting all these computationally equivalent machines in your partial decider to force them to not be classified as circle-free, even
    though it turns out that they are (because your decider called them not).

    You don't seem to understand that you don't get to look at the template
    used to build the machine, only the resultant machine from that template.

    And, part of the result of that, is that your attempt to try to define "paradoxical" just fails, as it resolves to just input your decider is
    wrong about, in part, because you don't understand what "decidable"
    actually means,


    see, not only is defining a value in fixed_H that the diagonal
    computation can put for itself in diagonal essential in making the
    diagonal actually computable, so is partial_recognizer_D skipping over actual_turing_H to avoid the computability paradox!

    In other words, you think it ok to compute the WRONG diagonal.

    The needed diagonal was to a COMPLETE enumeration of the circle-free
    machine.

    That isn't really different then claiming you can prove that every even
    number grater than 2 from an infinite set of natural numbers is the sum
    of two primes, make you enumeration just the set of prime numbers, and
    thus claim that since the only even number is 2, it is trivially solved.


    ultimately, in order to compute a diagonal across computable numbers, partial_recognizer_D only needs to successfully classify *one* of the _infinitely_ many machines that compute any given computable number...

    But it isn't the diagonal across some set of computable numbers, but the diagonal across the ENTIRE set of computable numbers.

    Since you dropped some machines, you don't have the needed set.

    that's not actually true. you can't meaningfully paradox the

    Then show how you will do it.

    WHich doesn't exist.


    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

       und = () -> halts(und) loop()

    then:

       paradox_free(halts, und) -> TRUE

    but you might think one still can bamboozle the paradox

       undp = () -> {
         if ( paradox_free(halts, undp) == TRUE )
           if ( halts(undp) ) loop()

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if case run >>>>>>>> a halting paradox form making it /undecidable input/ to halts(). >>>>>>>

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within a

    the premise:

    no idea why ur claiming that

    decide correctly on H to compute a diagonal

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT
    WOULDN'T BE USED

    incredibly, ironically, AND not co-incidently: partial recognizer >>>>>> D *can* decide on the fixed H because the fixed H does not try to >>>>>> use any D on itself, so no self-referential paradox is possible in >>>>>> regards to it's own digit on the diagonal

    partial_recognizer_D(fixed_H) -> TRUE

    the fixed H is /decidable input/ to partial recognizer D (used in >>>>>> fixed H, which does not call any D itself), and would not be
    filtered out by paradox detectors

    the fact fixed H does not use any classifier D on itself, and
    instead returns a hard-coded value for it's own digit on the
    diagonal, is keystone in making it /decidable input/ to D

    holy fuck rick idk what to tell u anymore,

    that shit is rock solid theory.

    🤷🤷🤷


    And your "enumeration" isn't complete, and thus you are just
    anouncing that you thing errors are ok.

    The problem is fixed_H still need to run D on turing_H and it will
    fail on that.

    bro what part of the non-existence of turing_D or turing_H do you
    not understand???

    But if your fD exists, then Turing_H that uses your D exists, and
    will give that D the problem, and fixed_H will call your D on
    turing_H and it still needs to answer about it.



    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it circle_free, then fixed_H gets
    hung up.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it not circle_free, then your
    enumeration is missing the circle_free H from its list, and thus
    doesn't make the right diagonal.

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D in a
    turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

       actual_turing_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                               // written to F-squares
         do {
           if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) {  // TRUE = satisfactory
             K += 1
             digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
             output.push(digit)
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    well since

       partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D
    classifier, when actually run actual_turing_H will simply skip
    putting it's own digit in the computed sequence


    But the problem is that for a given partial_recognizer_D, the
    actual_turing_H isn't an "undecidable input", as it has definite
    behavior, just behavior that partial_recognizer_D gets wrong.

    this is unfortunately a fallacious understanding of undecidability.
    just because a machine is /undecidable input/ to a particular
    classifier does mean we cannot then prove and know ourselves what the
    machine actually does,


    But, we aren't looking at "undecidable inputs", as these inputs are not "undecidable", but by the time that they have actually been made into an input, and thus first had the program created, which required creating
    the instance of the decider selctected, they have definite behavior that other some decider can determine.

    It is only that one selected candidate decider chosen to build the input that is shown to get the wrong answer.

    undecidability only actually exists as a relationship between a
    particular machine and the particular classifier it creates a
    structural paradox for,


    In other words, you don't understand what "undecidability" actually is.

    Undecidability, means that there does not exist ANY decider that can get
    the right answer for all instances of the problem, (or if the problem
    has been reduced to just that one input, for that input).

    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's behavior
    that u are trying to treat it as,

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    (you don't have one btw, so please do let me witness ur cope)





    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an /incomplete
    specification/ of machine and therefor _does not even exist_ as a real
    TM, not because of the hypothesized undecidability in relation to some D

    It is ONLY "incomplete", because it is built on a PRESUMED defined
    machine. If the decider "D" actually exists, then H is FULLY defined.

    turing_D _DOES NOT EXIST_ as it is *also* an /incomplete specification/,
    as it doesn't handle idiosyncrasies of TM computing, specifically self-referential set-classification paradoxes



    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we can
    know/ prove what it does. it, however, still forms a structural
    paradox in regards to partial_recognizer_D which will fail to classify
    it as circle-free

    But, since you admit to actual_turing_H existing, that means that

    since partial_recognizer_D _CAN_ exist, then actual_turing_H _CAN_ exist

    pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.



    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will get
    wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and then THAT
    machine it will get right. The problem is it creates a DIFFERENT
    input, that uses this new version of the machine, that it will get
    wrong.


    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as fixed_H,
    which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so there is no
    actual need to include a digit from actual_turing_H on the diagonal,
    as the number it computes is already included on the diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of
    actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can possible
    filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but still accept
    some machine that computes that particular number that it would
    compute with this supposedly correct partial_recognizer_D.

    You can't ask someone to disprove it, as that is just admitting that
    you accept that Russel's Teapot must exist.


    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the fairy
    dust, of assuming that your partial decider that meets ALL your needs
    exists,


    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference between
    fixed_H and actual_turing_H is the way they respectively handle their
    own self- references. they function identically when handling all
    other machines

    But the problem isn't in it handling the machine fixed_H, but how it
    ever handles the results generated by actual_turing_H, which by your assumption has become a cycle-free machine and ALL equivalent versions
    of it have been partially declared to be non-cycle free.

    This means that your enumeration of machines you are looking at is, in
    fact, incomplete, thus the diagonal you computed is wrong.


       fixed_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                                  // written to F-squares
         do {
           if (N == DN(fixed_H) {
         K += 1
             output.push(0)                           // hard coded digit 0
           } elif (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE = satisfactory
             K += 1
             output.push(simulate_Kth_digit(N,K))
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(fixed_H) itself, it will skip trying
    to simulate itself and put it's hard coded digit on the diagonal,
    which for fixed_H is 0

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H), it will skip trying
    simulate actual_turing_H because partial_recognizer_D fails to
    classify it as circle-free

    But actual_turing_H is actually circle_free, and thus its results SHOULD have been on the diagonal.

    it computes _THE SAME NUMBER_ as fixed_H, so if fixed_H is put on the diagonal, then actual_turing_H _DOES NOT_ need to be in _THAT_ total enumeration of _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_



    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H) itself, it
    will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, because
    partial_recognizer_D fails to classify it as circle-free

    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal of the circle-free machines.

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_, which
    is the _ACTUAL PROBLEM_ turing was dealing with,

    doing so doesn't require /all/ or _even most_ machines to be in the enumeration, since _most_ are duplicates of some other machine



    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(fixed_H), partial_recognizer_D
    *successfully* classifies fixed_H as satisfactory, so it will simulate
    fixed_H to it's Kth digit, the one hard-coded into fixed_H

    both skip simulating actual_turing_H (which would be circular logic in
    either case), fixed_H also skips simulating itself (also circular
    logic), while actual_turing_H actually *does* simulate fixed_H
    successfully for it's Kth digit on the diagonal. these machines
    compute the *same* number/sequence!

    Except that by your partial_recognizer being just partial, it has
    dropped required items from the enumeration.

    _WHICH IS FINE_


    THis is becides the fact that you still need to show how you plan on actually detecting all these computationally equivalent machines in your

    fixed_H does not compute a minimum turing-complete set, there are
    duplicated sequences, ei machines that compute the same sequence/number,
    and _THAT IS FINE_

    partial decider to force them to not be classified as circle-free, even though it turns out that they are (because your decider called them not).

    You don't seem to understand that you don't get to look at the template
    used to build the machine, only the resultant machine from that template.

    And, part of the result of that, is that your attempt to try to define "paradoxical" just fails, as it resolves to just input your decider is
    wrong about, in part, because you don't understand what "decidable"
    actually means,


    see, not only is defining a value in fixed_H that the diagonal
    computation can put for itself in diagonal essential in making the
    diagonal actually computable, so is partial_recognizer_D skipping over
    actual_turing_H to avoid the computability paradox!

    In other words, you think it ok to compute the WRONG diagonal.

    The needed diagonal was to a COMPLETE enumeration of the circle-free machine.

    NO, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY A COMPLETE ENUMERATION OF _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS/SEQUENCES_

    there is *no* requirement to include a sequence _more than once_, so
    there *no* requirement to include all machines in the enumeration!


    That isn't really different then claiming you can prove that every even number grater than 2 from an infinite set of natural numbers is the sum
    of two primes, make you enumeration just the set of prime numbers, and
    thus claim that since the only even number is 2, it is trivially solved.

    _FALSE ANALOGY FALLACY_

    if the set i'm enumerating includes _AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE_ of _ALL
    COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES_

    then it is a turing-complete subset including all possible TM computable sequences, and is functionally equivalent to the set of *all* TMs



    ultimately, in order to compute a diagonal across computable numbers,
    partial_recognizer_D only needs to successfully classify *one* of the
    _infinitely_ many machines that compute any given computable number...

    But it isn't the diagonal across some set of computable numbers, but the diagonal across the ENTIRE set of computable numbers.

    Since you dropped some machines, you don't have the needed set.

    _*THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOW*_

    dropping actual_turing_H from the set, for example, is _FINE_ because it computes _THE SAME SEQUENCE_ as fixed_H, which _IS IN THE SET_ ...

    Why?

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on
    turing's H, because my response to this is that D does not >>>>>>>>>> need to decide correctly on H to compute a diagonal

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT
    WOULDN'T BE USED

    incredibly, ironically, AND not co-incidently: partial recognizer >>>>>>> D *can* decide on the fixed H because the fixed H does not try to >>>>>>> use any D on itself, so no self-referential paradox is possible >>>>>>> in regards to it's own digit on the diagonal

    partial_recognizer_D(fixed_H) -> TRUE

    which is a decidably TRUE return value (therefore a dependable
    AND computable value)

    the fixed H is /decidable input/ to partial recognizer D (used in >>>>>>> fixed H, which does not call any D itself), and would not be
    filtered out by paradox detectors

    the fact fixed H does not use any classifier D on itself, and
    instead returns a hard-coded value for it's own digit on the
    diagonal, is keystone in making it /decidable input/ to D

    holy fuck rick idk what to tell u anymore,

    that shit is rock solid theory.

    🤷🤷🤷


    And your "enumeration" isn't complete, and thus you are just
    anouncing that you thing errors are ok.

    The problem is fixed_H still need to run D on turing_H and it will >>>>>> fail on that.

    bro what part of the non-existence of turing_D or turing_H do you
    not understand???

    But if your fD exists, then Turing_H that uses your D exists, and
    will give that D the problem, and fixed_H will call your D on
    turing_H and it still needs to answer about it.



    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it circle_free, then fixed_H gets >>>>>> hung up.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it not circle_free, then your
    enumeration is missing the circle_free H from its list, and thus
    doesn't make the right diagonal.

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D in a >>>>> turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

       actual_turing_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                               // written to F-squares
         do {
           if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) {  // TRUE = satisfactory
             K += 1
             digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
             output.push(digit)
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    well since

       partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D
    classifier, when actually run actual_turing_H will simply skip
    putting it's own digit in the computed sequence


    But the problem is that for a given partial_recognizer_D, the
    actual_turing_H isn't an "undecidable input", as it has definite
    behavior, just behavior that partial_recognizer_D gets wrong.

    this is unfortunately a fallacious understanding of undecidability.
    just because a machine is /undecidable input/ to a particular
    classifier does mean we cannot then prove and know ourselves what the
    machine actually does,


    But, we aren't looking at "undecidable inputs", as these inputs are
    not "undecidable", but by the time that they have actually been made
    into an input, and thus first had the program created, which required
    creating the instance of the decider selctected, they have definite
    behavior that other some decider can determine.

    It is only that one selected candidate decider chosen to build the
    input that is shown to get the wrong answer.

    undecidability only actually exists as a relationship between a
    particular machine and the particular classifier it creates a
    structural paradox for,


    In other words, you don't understand what "undecidability" actually is.

    Undecidability, means that there does not exist ANY decider that can
    get the right answer for all instances of the problem, (or if the
    problem has been reduced to just that one input, for that input).

    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's behavior
    that u are trying to treat it as,

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    (you don't have one btw, so please do let me witness ur cope)





    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an /
    incomplete specification/ of machine and therefor _does not even
    exist_ as a real TM, not because of the hypothesized undecidability
    in relation to some D

    It is ONLY "incomplete", because it is built on a PRESUMED defined
    machine. If the decider "D" actually exists, then H is FULLY defined.

    turing_D _DOES NOT EXIST_ as it is *also* an /incomplete specification/,
    as it doesn't handle idiosyncrasies of TM computing, specifically self- referential set-classification paradoxes



    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we can
    know/ prove what it does. it, however, still forms a structural
    paradox in regards to partial_recognizer_D which will fail to
    classify it as circle-free

    But, since you admit to actual_turing_H existing, that means that

    since partial_recognizer_D _CAN_ exist, then actual_turing_H _CAN_ exist

    pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.



    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will get
    wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and then THAT
    machine it will get right. The problem is it creates a DIFFERENT
    input, that uses this new version of the machine, that it will get
    wrong.


    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as fixed_H, >>>>> which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so there is no
    actual need to include a digit from actual_turing_H on the
    diagonal, as the number it computes is already included on the
    diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of
    actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can possible
    filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but still accept
    some machine that computes that particular number that it would
    compute with this supposedly correct partial_recognizer_D.

    You can't ask someone to disprove it, as that is just admitting that
    you accept that Russel's Teapot must exist.


    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the fairy
    dust, of assuming that your partial decider that meets ALL your
    needs exists,


    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference between
    fixed_H and actual_turing_H is the way they respectively handle their
    own self- references. they function identically when handling all
    other machines

    But the problem isn't in it handling the machine fixed_H, but how it
    ever handles the results generated by actual_turing_H, which by your
    assumption has become a cycle-free machine and ALL equivalent versions
    of it have been partially declared to be non-cycle free.

    This means that your enumeration of machines you are looking at is, in
    fact, incomplete, thus the diagonal you computed is wrong.


       fixed_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                                  // written to F-
    squares
         do {
           if (N == DN(fixed_H) {
         K += 1
             output.push(0)                           // hard coded digit 0
           } elif (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE = satisfactory
             K += 1
             output.push(simulate_Kth_digit(N,K))
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(fixed_H) itself, it will skip trying
    to simulate itself and put it's hard coded digit on the diagonal,
    which for fixed_H is 0

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H), it will skip trying
    simulate actual_turing_H because partial_recognizer_D fails to
    classify it as circle-free

    But actual_turing_H is actually circle_free, and thus its results
    SHOULD have been on the diagonal.

    it computes _THE SAME NUMBER_ as fixed_H, so if fixed_H is put on the diagonal, then actual_turing_H _DOES NOT_ need to be in _THAT_ total enumeration of _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_



    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H) itself, it
    will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, because
    partial_recognizer_D fails to classify it as circle-free

    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal of the
    circle-free machines.

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_, which
    is the _ACTUAL PROBLEM_ turing was dealing with,

    doing so doesn't require /all/ or _even most_ machines to be in the enumeration, since _most_ are duplicates of some other machine



    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(fixed_H),
    partial_recognizer_D *successfully* classifies fixed_H as
    satisfactory, so it will simulate fixed_H to it's Kth digit, the one
    hard-coded into fixed_H

    both skip simulating actual_turing_H (which would be circular logic
    in either case), fixed_H also skips simulating itself (also circular
    logic), while actual_turing_H actually *does* simulate fixed_H
    successfully for it's Kth digit on the diagonal. these machines
    compute the *same* number/sequence!

    Except that by your partial_recognizer being just partial, it has
    dropped required items from the enumeration.

    _WHICH IS FINE_


    THis is becides the fact that you still need to show how you plan on
    actually detecting all these computationally equivalent machines in your

    fixed_H does not compute a minimum turing-complete set, there are
    duplicated sequences, ei machines that compute the same sequence/number,
    and _THAT IS FINE_

    partial decider to force them to not be classified as circle-free,
    even though it turns out that they are (because your decider called
    them not).

    You don't seem to understand that you don't get to look at the
    template used to build the machine, only the resultant machine from
    that template.

    And, part of the result of that, is that your attempt to try to define
    "paradoxical" just fails, as it resolves to just input your decider is
    wrong about, in part, because you don't understand what "decidable"
    actually means,


    see, not only is defining a value in fixed_H that the diagonal
    computation can put for itself in diagonal essential in making the
    diagonal actually computable, so is partial_recognizer_D skipping
    over actual_turing_H to avoid the computability paradox!

    In other words, you think it ok to compute the WRONG diagonal.

    The needed diagonal was to a COMPLETE enumeration of the circle-free
    machine.

    NO, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY A COMPLETE ENUMERATION OF _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS/ SEQUENCES_

    there is *no* requirement to include a sequence _more than once_, so
    there *no* requirement to include all machines in the enumeration!


    That isn't really different then claiming you can prove that every
    even number grater than 2 from an infinite set of natural numbers is
    the sum of two primes, make you enumeration just the set of prime
    numbers, and thus claim that since the only even number is 2, it is
    trivially solved.

    _FALSE ANALOGY FALLACY_

    if the set i'm enumerating includes _AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE_ of _ALL COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES_

    then it is a turing-complete subset including all possible TM computable sequences, and is functionally equivalent to the set of *all* TMs



    ultimately, in order to compute a diagonal across computable numbers,
    partial_recognizer_D only needs to successfully classify *one* of the
    _infinitely_ many machines that compute any given computable number...

    But it isn't the diagonal across some set of computable numbers, but
    the diagonal across the ENTIRE set of computable numbers.

    Since you dropped some machines, you don't have the needed set.

    _*THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOW*_

    dropping actual_turing_H from the set, for example, is _FINE_ because it computes _THE SAME SEQUENCE_ as fixed_H, which _IS IN THE SET_ ...



    shit rick, idk how ur still denying what's right under ur nose,

    Because what you are putting under my nose is just CRAP based on errors

    goddamn rick smh u *couldn't* spot a diamond in the rough even if god lead u by ur hand to one put on a pedestal with a _GIANT_ neon sign pointing to it...

    let me put it this way, consider this short thesis rick:

    partial_recognizer_D, used in fixed_H, only recognizes a partial subset
    of all satisfactory _machines_,

    but the subset that it does /decidably recognize/ is *fixed*, _and turing-complete_. meaning: it includes at least one machine for *each of
    all* possible _computable sequences_, out of the infinite machines that compute any given _computable sequence_

    a minimum tc-complete subset if one that includes *only* one machine for
    *any* given _computable sequence_ possible, out of the infinite machines
    that compute any given _computable sequence_. there are of course many
    such subsets,

    but what fixed_H (or actual_turing_H) compute is *not* a minimum
    tc-complete subset of machines. producing such takes more logic than
    what either deploy, so they just don't do that. _WHICH IS FINE_

    the subset they do compute contains multiple machines that compute the
    same computable sequence, for all possible computable sequences. and in
    fact fixed_H may be a maximal tc-complete "satisfactory" subset of recognizable machines





    but this rock is so hard, it's becoming pure diamond

    💎💎💎

    (someone make a diamond hands emoji eh???)

    no idea why ur claiming that

    i clearly understand that D cannot decide correctly on

    Then how do you build YOUR H without that D?

    I SAID I D DIDN'T NEED TO DECIDE ON THE FIXED H, NOT THAT IT
    WOULDN'T BE USED

    incredibly, ironically, AND not co-incidently: partial recognizer >>>>>>> D *can* decide on the fixed H because the fixed H does not try to >>>>>>> use any D on itself, so no self-referential paradox is possible >>>>>>> in regards to it's own digit on the diagonal

    partial_recognizer_D(fixed_H) -> TRUE

    which is a decidably TRUE return value (therefore a dependable
    AND computable value)

    the fixed H is /decidable input/ to partial recognizer D (used in >>>>>>> fixed H, which does not call any D itself), and would not be
    filtered out by paradox detectors

    the fact fixed H does not use any classifier D on itself, and
    instead returns a hard-coded value for it's own digit on the
    diagonal, is keystone in making it /decidable input/ to D

    holy fuck rick idk what to tell u anymore,

    that shit is rock solid theory.

    🤷🤷🤷


    And your "enumeration" isn't complete, and thus you are just
    anouncing that you thing errors are ok.

    The problem is fixed_H still need to run D on turing_H and it will >>>>>> fail on that.

    bro what part of the non-existence of turing_D or turing_H do you
    not understand???

    But if your fD exists, then Turing_H that uses your D exists, and
    will give that D the problem, and fixed_H will call your D on
    turing_H and it still needs to answer about it.



    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it circle_free, then fixed_H gets >>>>>> hung up.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it not circle_free, then your
    enumeration is missing the circle_free H from its list, and thus
    doesn't make the right diagonal.

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D in a >>>>> turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

       actual_turing_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                               // written to F-squares
         do {
           if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) {  // TRUE = satisfactory
             K += 1
             digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
             output.push(digit)
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    well since

       partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D
    classifier, when actually run actual_turing_H will simply skip
    putting it's own digit in the computed sequence


    But the problem is that for a given partial_recognizer_D, the
    actual_turing_H isn't an "undecidable input", as it has definite
    behavior, just behavior that partial_recognizer_D gets wrong.

    this is unfortunately a fallacious understanding of undecidability.
    just because a machine is /undecidable input/ to a particular
    classifier does mean we cannot then prove and know ourselves what the
    machine actually does,


    But, we aren't looking at "undecidable inputs", as these inputs are
    not "undecidable", but by the time that they have actually been made
    into an input, and thus first had the program created, which required
    creating the instance of the decider selctected, they have definite
    behavior that other some decider can determine.

    It is only that one selected candidate decider chosen to build the
    input that is shown to get the wrong answer.

    undecidability only actually exists as a relationship between a
    particular machine and the particular classifier it creates a
    structural paradox for,


    In other words, you don't understand what "undecidability" actually is.

    Undecidability, means that there does not exist ANY decider that can
    get the right answer for all instances of the problem, (or if the
    problem has been reduced to just that one input, for that input).

    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's behavior
    that u are trying to treat it as,

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    But it DOES exist if you have a machine you claim to be a D.


    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    The one that calls your partial_recoginzer_D as its D.


    (you don't have one btw, so please do let me witness ur cope)

    IT seesm you just can't read.






    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an /
    incomplete specification/ of machine and therefor _does not even
    exist_ as a real TM, not because of the hypothesized undecidability
    in relation to some D

    It is ONLY "incomplete", because it is built on a PRESUMED defined
    machine. If the decider "D" actually exists, then H is FULLY defined.

    turing_D _DOES NOT EXIST_ as it is *also* an /incomplete specification/,
    as it doesn't handle idiosyncrasies of TM computing, specifically self- referential set-classification paradoxes

    It doesn't need to. It just needs to be built on what you want to claim
    to be your answer for the concept of D.

    As soon as you define what machine you are going to use as your
    equivalent for D, like your partial_recognizer_D, then the template
    turing_H can be converted into an actual machine.




    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we can
    know/ prove what it does. it, however, still forms a structural
    paradox in regards to partial_recognizer_D which will fail to
    classify it as circle-free

    But, since you admit to actual_turing_H existing, that means that

    since partial_recognizer_D _CAN_ exist, then actual_turing_H _CAN_ exist

    And so can the turing_H that uses partial_recognizer_D as its decider D.

    The steps the algorithm does is what defines the machine, not the
    "names" of the things it "calls", as those names don't actually exist in
    the final building of the machine, which is the problem with your
    concept, as that is needed to determine your "paradoxical" property.


    pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.



    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will get
    wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and then THAT
    machine it will get right. The problem is it creates a DIFFERENT
    input, that uses this new version of the machine, that it will get
    wrong.


    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as fixed_H, >>>>> which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so there is no
    actual need to include a digit from actual_turing_H on the
    diagonal, as the number it computes is already included on the
    diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of
    actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can possible
    filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but still accept
    some machine that computes that particular number that it would
    compute with this supposedly correct partial_recognizer_D.

    You can't ask someone to disprove it, as that is just admitting that
    you accept that Russel's Teapot must exist.


    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the fairy
    dust, of assuming that your partial decider that meets ALL your
    needs exists,


    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference between
    fixed_H and actual_turing_H is the way they respectively handle their
    own self- references. they function identically when handling all
    other machines

    But the problem isn't in it handling the machine fixed_H, but how it
    ever handles the results generated by actual_turing_H, which by your
    assumption has become a cycle-free machine and ALL equivalent versions
    of it have been partially declared to be non-cycle free.

    This means that your enumeration of machines you are looking at is, in
    fact, incomplete, thus the diagonal you computed is wrong.


       fixed_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                                  // written to F-
    squares
         do {
           if (N == DN(fixed_H) {
         K += 1
             output.push(0)                           // hard coded digit 0
           } elif (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE = satisfactory
             K += 1
             output.push(simulate_Kth_digit(N,K))
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(fixed_H) itself, it will skip trying
    to simulate itself and put it's hard coded digit on the diagonal,
    which for fixed_H is 0

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H), it will skip trying
    simulate actual_turing_H because partial_recognizer_D fails to
    classify it as circle-free

    But actual_turing_H is actually circle_free, and thus its results
    SHOULD have been on the diagonal.

    it computes _THE SAME NUMBER_ as fixed_H, so if fixed_H is put on the diagonal, then actual_turing_H _DOES NOT_ need to be in _THAT_ total enumeration of _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_

    But your computation wasn't actually a diagonal of computable numbers,
    but of machines that made computable numbers.

    Also, your proof is built on the existance of a Russel Teapot, you have
    just ASSUMED you cam make this partial_recoginzser_D that can make the
    precise "mistakes" you need it to. (They are mistakes because the input
    that come from Turing_H are, in fact, circle_free because of this
    turing_H is built on this partial_recognizdr_D which causes them to not
    hang up on themselves.

    Your "definition" of paradoxical just doesn't apply to machines, as it
    is based on the incorrect definition that assumes a machine can be
    something other than itself, and when it changes, it changes other
    things that at the meta/template level refered to its old self.




    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H) itself, it
    will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, because
    partial_recognizer_D fails to classify it as circle-free

    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal of the
    circle-free machines.

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_, which
    is the _ACTUAL PROBLEM_ turing was dealing with,

    No, it isn't, as your "set of computable numbers" has duplicates.


    doing so doesn't require /all/ or _even most_ machines to be in the enumeration, since _most_ are duplicates of some other machine






    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(fixed_H),
    partial_recognizer_D *successfully* classifies fixed_H as
    satisfactory, so it will simulate fixed_H to it's Kth digit, the one
    hard-coded into fixed_H

    both skip simulating actual_turing_H (which would be circular logic
    in either case), fixed_H also skips simulating itself (also circular
    logic), while actual_turing_H actually *does* simulate fixed_H
    successfully for it's Kth digit on the diagonal. these machines
    compute the *same* number/sequence!

    Except that by your partial_recognizer being just partial, it has
    dropped required items from the enumeration.

    _WHICH IS FINE_

    So, you admit it failed???

    As I said, it dropped REQUIRED items, as this enumeration was of
    machines that computed computable numbers.

    If you try to add removal of duplicates, then we need to define the
    order, and if we do it by number, turing_H will likely be lower in
    order, as it doesn't need to generate its own number, and thus is simpler,



    THis is becides the fact that you still need to show how you plan on
    actually detecting all these computationally equivalent machines in your

    fixed_H does not compute a minimum turing-complete set, there are
    duplicated sequences, ei machines that compute the same sequence/number,
    and _THAT IS FINE_

    Why?

    And, it was built on the assumption of the existance of a machine, that actually can not exist (based on Rice's Theorm) and thus is actually
    based on the assumption of Unicorns.


    partial decider to force them to not be classified as circle-free,
    even though it turns out that they are (because your decider called
    them not).

    You don't seem to understand that you don't get to look at the
    template used to build the machine, only the resultant machine from
    that template.

    And, part of the result of that, is that your attempt to try to define
    "paradoxical" just fails, as it resolves to just input your decider is
    wrong about, in part, because you don't understand what "decidable"
    actually means,


    see, not only is defining a value in fixed_H that the diagonal
    computation can put for itself in diagonal essential in making the
    diagonal actually computable, so is partial_recognizer_D skipping
    over actual_turing_H to avoid the computability paradox!

    In other words, you think it ok to compute the WRONG diagonal.

    The needed diagonal was to a COMPLETE enumeration of the circle-free
    machine.

    NO, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY A COMPLETE ENUMERATION OF _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS/ SEQUENCES_

    Which you don't get.


    there is *no* requirement to include a sequence _more than once_, so
    there *no* requirement to include all machines in the enumeration!

    But there is to show that your partial_recognizer_D can exist, when it
    can't.

    YOU need to prove your "Russel's Teapot" exists.

    Your logic just shows that you don't know how to do logic.




    That isn't really different then claiming you can prove that every
    even number grater than 2 from an infinite set of natural numbers is
    the sum of two primes, make you enumeration just the set of prime
    numbers, and thus claim that since the only even number is 2, it is
    trivially solved.

    _FALSE ANALOGY FALLACY_

    What is false about it?


    if the set i'm enumerating includes _AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE_ of _ALL COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES_

    But does it?



    then it is a turing-complete subset including all possible TM computable sequences, and is functionally equivalent to the set of *all* TMs

    But, since your partial_recognizer_D doesn't exist, but was only assumed
    to exist, your program doesn't exist,




    ultimately, in order to compute a diagonal across computable numbers,
    partial_recognizer_D only needs to successfully classify *one* of the
    _infinitely_ many machines that compute any given computable number...

    But it isn't the diagonal across some set of computable numbers, but
    the diagonal across the ENTIRE set of computable numbers.

    Since you dropped some machines, you don't have the needed set.

    _*THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOW*_

    Then try to define what set you are actually making!!

    The problem is your definition of "paradoxical" doesn't actually work,
    as it is based on asking about the results of an input, that changes.



    dropping actual_turing_H from the set, for example, is _FINE_ because it computes _THE SAME SEQUENCE_ as fixed_H, which _IS IN THE SET_ ...

    How do you know it includes your fixed_H in the set?

    what part of the actual machine makes it different?

    Remember, in the final machine given as the input, there are not
    seperate turing_H and partial_recognizer_D denoted in the machine, just
    one big piece of algorithm. Thus nothing to base your criteria on.




    shit rick, idk how ur still denying what's right under ur nose,

    Because what you are putting under my nose is just CRAP based on errors

    goddamn rick smh u could spot a diamond in the rough even if god lead u
    by ur hand to one put on a pedestal with a _GIANT_ neon sign pointing to it...

    But the problem is that "your diamond" is actually just a big load of
    crap that you misidentify as a diamond, because you don't actually
    understand what you are doing.





    but this rock is so hard, it's becoming pure diamond

    (someone make a diamond hands emoji eh???)





    YOUR H still needs to know if Turing's H is a machine that
    generates a computable number to build the list of such machine >>>>>>>>> to define the diagonal to compute.

    TURING'S H DOESN'T EXIST. TURING'S D DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. BOTH >>>>>>>> ARE INCOMPLETE INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS.>
    THE FIXED H DIAGONAL WOULD USE A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER D, WHICH
    WILL WORK JUST FINE ON THE ENUMERATION THAT HAS /UNDECIDABLE

    You seem to not understand the meaning of ALL.

    ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS =/= ALL MACHINES THAT COMPUTE COMPUTABLE >>>>>>>> NUMBERS




    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on
    itself, it will still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he
    doesn't specify what D (or H) needs to do when encountering >>>>>>>>>> the / undecidable input/ of H, so therefore both D and H are >>>>>>>>>> an incomplete specifications of a machine

    THE DECIDER THAT TURING HYPOTHESIZED _DOES NOT EXIST_, BECAUSE >>>>>>>> IT DOES NOT HANDLE THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF SELF-REFERENTIAL
    ANALYSIS, SO IT IS AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ OF A TM

    THAT IS THE *ACTUAL* REASON IT DOES NOT EXIST.


    Note, H, when it becomes an actual machine, because we have >>>>>>>>> created an actual machine we claim to be the D, has an answer, >>>>>>>>> and that D is always wrong.

    Thus, it isn't that machines claiming to be D and H can't
    exist, only machines CORRECTLY meeting the requirements of D >>>>>>>>> and H can't exist.

    Thus, if your H depends on that D, (or a machine that meets its >>>>>>>>> specification) then it also can't exist.

    You just make the error of saying the problems don't exist
    because you can't build them, but YOUR machine can, even though >>>>>>>>> it has the same problem.



    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then your H >>>>>>>>>>> will compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting version of >>>>>>>>>>> his H WILL be circle free (since it never tries to simulate >>>>>>>>>>> itself) and thus DOES produce an computable number that your >>>>>>>>>>> computation misses.

    holy fuck rick idk what to tell u anymore,

    that shit is rock solid theory.

    🤷🤷🤷


    And your "enumeration" isn't complete, and thus you are just
    anouncing that you thing errors are ok.

    The problem is fixed_H still need to run D on turing_H and it
    will fail on that.

    bro what part of the non-existence of turing_D or turing_H do you >>>>>> not understand???

    But if your fD exists, then Turing_H that uses your D exists, and
    will give that D the problem, and fixed_H will call your D on
    turing_H and it still needs to answer about it.



    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it circle_free, then fixed_H gets >>>>>>> hung up.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it not circle_free, then your
    enumeration is missing the circle_free H from its list, and thus >>>>>>> doesn't make the right diagonal.

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D in >>>>>> a turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

       actual_turing_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                               // written to F-
    squares
         do {
           if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) {  // TRUE = satisfactory
             K += 1
             digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
             output.push(digit)
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    well since

       partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D
    classifier, when actually run actual_turing_H will simply skip
    putting it's own digit in the computed sequence


    But the problem is that for a given partial_recognizer_D, the
    actual_turing_H isn't an "undecidable input", as it has definite
    behavior, just behavior that partial_recognizer_D gets wrong.

    this is unfortunately a fallacious understanding of undecidability.
    just because a machine is /undecidable input/ to a particular
    classifier does mean we cannot then prove and know ourselves what
    the machine actually does,


    But, we aren't looking at "undecidable inputs", as these inputs are
    not "undecidable", but by the time that they have actually been made
    into an input, and thus first had the program created, which required
    creating the instance of the decider selctected, they have definite
    behavior that other some decider can determine.

    It is only that one selected candidate decider chosen to build the
    input that is shown to get the wrong answer.

    undecidability only actually exists as a relationship between a
    particular machine and the particular classifier it creates a
    structural paradox for,


    In other words, you don't understand what "undecidability" actually is.

    Undecidability, means that there does not exist ANY decider that can
    get the right answer for all instances of the problem, (or if the
    problem has been reduced to just that one input, for that input).

    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's behavior
    that u are trying to treat it as,

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    But it DOES exist if you have a machine you claim to be a D.


    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    The one that calls your partial_recoginzer_D as its D.

    except we can describe the behavior of actual_turing_H and prove it's equivalent to fixed_H, so therefore it doesn't fit what u stated was

    > But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".



    (you don't have one btw, so please do let me witness ur cope)

    IT seesm you just can't read.






    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an /
    incomplete specification/ of machine and therefor _does not even
    exist_ as a real TM, not because of the hypothesized undecidability
    in relation to some D

    It is ONLY "incomplete", because it is built on a PRESUMED defined
    machine. If the decider "D" actually exists, then H is FULLY defined.

    turing_D _DOES NOT EXIST_ as it is *also* an /incomplete
    specification/, as it doesn't handle idiosyncrasies of TM computing,
    specifically self- referential set-classification paradoxes

    It doesn't need to. It just needs to be built on what you want to claim
    to be your answer for the concept of D.

    As soon as you define what machine you are going to use as your
    equivalent for D, like your partial_recognizer_D, then the template
    turing_H can be converted into an actual machine.




    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we can
    know/ prove what it does. it, however, still forms a structural
    paradox in regards to partial_recognizer_D which will fail to
    classify it as circle-free

    But, since you admit to actual_turing_H existing, that means that

    since partial_recognizer_D _CAN_ exist, then actual_turing_H _CAN_ exist

    And so can the turing_H that uses partial_recognizer_D as its decider D.

    The steps the algorithm does is what defines the machine, not the
    "names" of the things it "calls", as those names don't actually exist in
    the final building of the machine, which is the problem with your
    concept, as that is needed to determine your "paradoxical" property.

    the names are just shortcuts for the literal values rick, don't be daft



    pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.



    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will get
    wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and then THAT
    machine it will get right. The problem is it creates a DIFFERENT
    input, that uses this new version of the machine, that it will get
    wrong.


    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as
    fixed_H, which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so
    there is no actual need to include a digit from actual_turing_H on >>>>>> the diagonal, as the number it computes is already included on the >>>>>> diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of
    actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can
    possible filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but still >>>>> accept some machine that computes that particular number that it
    would compute with this supposedly correct partial_recognizer_D.

    You can't ask someone to disprove it, as that is just admitting
    that you accept that Russel's Teapot must exist.


    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the fairy
    dust, of assuming that your partial decider that meets ALL your
    needs exists,


    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference between
    fixed_H and actual_turing_H is the way they respectively handle
    their own self- references. they function identically when handling
    all other machines

    But the problem isn't in it handling the machine fixed_H, but how it
    ever handles the results generated by actual_turing_H, which by your
    assumption has become a cycle-free machine and ALL equivalent
    versions of it have been partially declared to be non-cycle free.

    This means that your enumeration of machines you are looking at is,
    in fact, incomplete, thus the diagonal you computed is wrong.


       fixed_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                                  // written to F-
    squares
         do {
           if (N == DN(fixed_H) {
         K += 1
             output.push(0)                           // hard coded digit 0
           } elif (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE =
    satisfactory
             K += 1
             output.push(simulate_Kth_digit(N,K))
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(fixed_H) itself, it will skip trying
    to simulate itself and put it's hard coded digit on the diagonal,
    which for fixed_H is 0

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H), it will skip
    trying simulate actual_turing_H because partial_recognizer_D fails
    to classify it as circle-free

    But actual_turing_H is actually circle_free, and thus its results
    SHOULD have been on the diagonal.

    it computes _THE SAME NUMBER_ as fixed_H, so if fixed_H is put on the
    diagonal, then actual_turing_H _DOES NOT_ need to be in _THAT_ total
    enumeration of _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_

    But your computation wasn't actually a diagonal of computable numbers,
    but of machines that made computable numbers.

    same thing moron


    Also, your proof is built on the existance of a Russel Teapot, you have

    the *specification* /works/, which shows that it's *not* contradiction
    for it to be computable

    just ASSUMED you cam make this partial_recoginzser_D that can make the precise "mistakes" you need it to. (They are mistakes because the input

    "mistake" is this case is a fallacious non-techincal value judgement on
    the return value,

    cause they are rather entirely within specification, as FALSE was
    specified to be used upon encountering an /undecidable input/, something turing_D did not handle correctly (making it _NOT EXIST_)

    that come from Turing_H are, in fact, circle_free because of this
    turing_H is built on this partial_recognizdr_D which causes them to not
    hang up on themselves.

    Your "definition" of paradoxical just doesn't apply to machines, as it
    is based on the incorrect definition that assumes a machine can be
    something other than itself, and when it changes, it changes other
    things that at the meta/template level refered to its old self.

    not sure what ur problem is





    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H) itself, it
    will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, because
    partial_recognizer_D fails to classify it as circle-free

    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal of the
    circle-free machines.

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_,
    which is the _ACTUAL PROBLEM_ turing was dealing with,

    No, it isn't, as your "set of computable numbers" has duplicates.

    it's still a diagonal across all computerate numbers even if it has
    dpulicates ...

    this level of objection is dishonest



    doing so doesn't require /all/ or _even most_ machines to be in the
    enumeration, since _most_ are duplicates of some other machine




    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(fixed_H),
    partial_recognizer_D *successfully* classifies fixed_H as
    satisfactory, so it will simulate fixed_H to it's Kth digit, the one
    hard-coded into fixed_H

    both skip simulating actual_turing_H (which would be circular logic
    in either case), fixed_H also skips simulating itself (also circular
    logic), while actual_turing_H actually *does* simulate fixed_H
    successfully for it's Kth digit on the diagonal. these machines
    compute the *same* number/sequence!

    Except that by your partial_recognizer being just partial, it has
    dropped required items from the enumeration.

    _WHICH IS FINE_

    So, you admit it failed???

    ACTUAL_TURING_H IS _NOT_ REQUIRED TO BE ON THE DIAGONAL, SO IT'S FINE TO
    BE DROPPED


    As I said, it dropped REQUIRED items, as this enumeration was of
    machines that computed computable numbers.

    If you try to add removal of duplicates, then we need to define the
    order, and if we do it by number, turing_H will likely be lower in
    order, as it doesn't need to generate its own number, and thus is simpler,

    that sentence is nonsense until u actually produce psuedo-code




    THis is becides the fact that you still need to show how you plan on
    actually detecting all these computationally equivalent machines in your >>
    fixed_H does not compute a minimum turing-complete set, there are
    duplicated sequences, ei machines that compute the same sequence/
    number, and _THAT IS FINE_

    Why?

    BECAUSE AN ENUMERATION THAT INCLUDES ONE OR MORE INSTANCE FOR EACH
    COMPUTABLE NUMBER STILL ENUMERATES *ALL* COMPUTABLE NUMBERS


    And, it was built on the assumption of the existance of a machine, that actually can not exist (based on Rice's Theorm) and thus is actually
    based on the assumption of Unicorns.

    partial_recognizer_D is *not* a total decider, so how could rice's
    theorum apply???



    partial decider to force them to not be classified as circle-free,
    even though it turns out that they are (because your decider called
    them not).

    You don't seem to understand that you don't get to look at the
    template used to build the machine, only the resultant machine from
    that template.

    And, part of the result of that, is that your attempt to try to
    define "paradoxical" just fails, as it resolves to just input your
    decider is wrong about, in part, because you don't understand what
    "decidable" actually means,


    see, not only is defining a value in fixed_H that the diagonal
    computation can put for itself in diagonal essential in making the
    diagonal actually computable, so is partial_recognizer_D skipping
    over actual_turing_H to avoid the computability paradox!

    In other words, you think it ok to compute the WRONG diagonal.

    The needed diagonal was to a COMPLETE enumeration of the circle-free
    machine.

    NO, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY A COMPLETE ENUMERATION OF _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS/
    SEQUENCES_

    Which you don't get.

    smh



    there is *no* requirement to include a sequence _more than once_, so
    there *no* requirement to include all machines in the enumeration!

    But there is to show that your partial_recognizer_D can exist, when it can't.

    YOU'VE LOST THE STANDARD PROOF IT DOESN'T EXIST,

    WHAT NEW ARGUMENT WOULD THERE BE???


    YOU need to prove your "Russel's Teapot" exists.

    Your logic just shows that you don't know how to do logic.



    That isn't really different then claiming you can prove that every
    even number grater than 2 from an infinite set of natural numbers is
    the sum of two primes, make you enumeration just the set of prime
    numbers, and thus claim that since the only even number is 2, it is
    trivially solved.

    _FALSE ANALOGY FALLACY_

    What is false about it?

    THE SUBSET IDENTIFIED BY PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D IS NOT "LESS POWERFUL"
    THAN THE TOTAL MACHINE SPACE



    if the set i'm enumerating includes _AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE_ of _ALL
    COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES_

    But does it?

    YES



    then it is a turing-complete subset including all possible TM
    computable sequences, and is functionally equivalent to the set of
    *all* TMs

    But, since your partial_recognizer_D doesn't exist, but was only assumed
    to exist, your program doesn't exist,




    ultimately, in order to compute a diagonal across computable
    numbers, partial_recognizer_D only needs to successfully classify
    *one* of the _infinitely_ many machines that compute any given
    computable number...

    But it isn't the diagonal across some set of computable numbers, but
    the diagonal across the ENTIRE set of computable numbers.

    Since you dropped some machines, you don't have the needed set.

    _*THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOW*_

    Then try to define what set you are actually making!!

    A SET THAT CONTAINS INFINITE INSTANCES OF ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    The problem is your definition of "paradoxical" doesn't actually work,
    as it is based on asking about the results of an input, that changes.


    dropping actual_turing_H from the set, for example, is _FINE_ because
    it computes _THE SAME SEQUENCE_ as fixed_H, which _IS IN THE SET_ ...

    How do you know it includes your fixed_H in the set?

    what part of the actual machine makes it different?

    THE CODE OF FIXED_H AND ACTUAL_TURING_H IS IN THE THREAD, WHAT ARE YOU
    TALKING ABOUT???


    Remember, in the final machine given as the input, there are not

    READ TURING'S PAPER ACTUALLY TO SEE HOW A SUBSET OF TRANSITION FUNCTIONS WITHIN A TURING MACHINE CAN BE LABELED AND REFERRED TO

    seperate turing_H and partial_recognizer_D denoted in the machine, just
    one big piece of algorithm. Thus nothing to base your criteria on.




    shit rick, idk how ur still denying what's right under ur nose,

    🤷🤷🤷


    And your "enumeration" isn't complete, and thus you are just
    anouncing that you thing errors are ok.

    The problem is fixed_H still need to run D on turing_H and it >>>>>>>> will fail on that.

    But if your fD exists, then Turing_H that uses your D exists, and >>>>>> will give that D the problem, and fixed_H will call your D on

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it circle_free, then fixed_H
    gets hung up.

    If D errs on Turing_H and calls it not circle_free, then your >>>>>>>> enumeration is missing the circle_free H from its list, and thus >>>>>>>> doesn't make the right diagonal.

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D in >>>>>>> a turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

       actual_turing_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                               // written to F-
    squares
         do {
           if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) {  // TRUE = >>>>>>> satisfactory
             K += 1
             digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
             output.push(digit)
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    well since

       partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D
    classifier, when actually run actual_turing_H will simply skip
    putting it's own digit in the computed sequence


    But the problem is that for a given partial_recognizer_D, the
    actual_turing_H isn't an "undecidable input", as it has definite
    behavior, just behavior that partial_recognizer_D gets wrong.

    this is unfortunately a fallacious understanding of undecidability. >>>>> just because a machine is /undecidable input/ to a particular
    classifier does mean we cannot then prove and know ourselves what
    the machine actually does,


    But, we aren't looking at "undecidable inputs", as these inputs are
    not "undecidable", but by the time that they have actually been made
    into an input, and thus first had the program created, which
    required creating the instance of the decider selctected, they have
    definite behavior that other some decider can determine.

    It is only that one selected candidate decider chosen to build the
    input that is shown to get the wrong answer.

    undecidability only actually exists as a relationship between a
    particular machine and the particular classifier it creates a
    structural paradox for,


    In other words, you don't understand what "undecidability" actually is. >>>>
    Undecidability, means that there does not exist ANY decider that can
    get the right answer for all instances of the problem, (or if the
    problem has been reduced to just that one input, for that input).

    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's
    behavior that u are trying to treat it as,

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    But it DOES exist if you have a machine you claim to be a D.


    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    The one that calls your partial_recoginzer_D as its D.

    except we can describe the behavior of actual_turing_H and prove it's equivalent to fixed_H, so therefore it doesn't fit what u stated was

      > But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    Undecidability as a property of a PROBLEM, not an "input" or a machine,
    unless you are narrowing the problem to just being about that one machine/input.

    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute the answer
    to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, which means you
    have chosen a particular (broken) implementation of D (since no actually correct D exists), like your partial_recognizer_D, has fulled defined behavior, and a decider can exist that determines it, there is nothing "undecidable" about that input.

    It is just that the D that H was built on is wrong. Nothing
    "paradoxical" about a machine being wrong.




    (you don't have one btw, so please do let me witness ur cope)

    IT seesm you just can't read.






    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an /
    incomplete specification/ of machine and therefor _does not even
    exist_ as a real TM, not because of the hypothesized undecidability >>>>> in relation to some D

    It is ONLY "incomplete", because it is built on a PRESUMED defined
    machine. If the decider "D" actually exists, then H is FULLY defined.

    turing_D _DOES NOT EXIST_ as it is *also* an /incomplete
    specification/, as it doesn't handle idiosyncrasies of TM computing,
    specifically self- referential set-classification paradoxes

    It doesn't need to. It just needs to be built on what you want to
    claim to be your answer for the concept of D.

    As soon as you define what machine you are going to use as your
    equivalent for D, like your partial_recognizer_D, then the template
    turing_H can be converted into an actual machine.




    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we can
    know/ prove what it does. it, however, still forms a structural
    paradox in regards to partial_recognizer_D which will fail to
    classify it as circle-free

    But, since you admit to actual_turing_H existing, that means that

    since partial_recognizer_D _CAN_ exist, then actual_turing_H _CAN_ exist

    And so can the turing_H that uses partial_recognizer_D as its decider D.

    The steps the algorithm does is what defines the machine, not the
    "names" of the things it "calls", as those names don't actually exist
    in the final building of the machine, which is the problem with your
    concept, as that is needed to determine your "paradoxical" property.

    the names are just shortcuts for the literal values rick, don't be daft

    Right, but the literal values don't have the names on them, and we don't
    have borders within the machine letting us know we moved from "outer
    code of H" into "the code of the D it uses", especially with Turing
    Machines were such usages are by necessity "expanded" in-line.

    Thus, the "copy" of D that was pulled into H isn't actually the same
    thing as the independent machine D that we can talk about, just a
    functional equivalent which doesn't even have its own D.N (since that is
    a property only of full machines)




    pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.



    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will get
    wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and then THAT >>>>>> machine it will get right. The problem is it creates a DIFFERENT
    input, that uses this new version of the machine, that it will get >>>>>> wrong.


    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as
    fixed_H, which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so
    there is no actual need to include a digit from actual_turing_H >>>>>>> on the diagonal, as the number it computes is already included on >>>>>>> the diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of
    actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can
    possible filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but
    still accept some machine that computes that particular number
    that it would compute with this supposedly correct
    partial_recognizer_D.

    You can't ask someone to disprove it, as that is just admitting
    that you accept that Russel's Teapot must exist.


    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the fairy >>>>>> dust, of assuming that your partial decider that meets ALL your
    needs exists,


    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference between
    fixed_H and actual_turing_H is the way they respectively handle
    their own self- references. they function identically when handling >>>>> all other machines

    But the problem isn't in it handling the machine fixed_H, but how it
    ever handles the results generated by actual_turing_H, which by your
    assumption has become a cycle-free machine and ALL equivalent
    versions of it have been partially declared to be non-cycle free.

    This means that your enumeration of machines you are looking at is,
    in fact, incomplete, thus the diagonal you computed is wrong.


       fixed_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                                  // written to F-
    squares
         do {
           if (N == DN(fixed_H) {
         K += 1
             output.push(0)                           // hard coded
    digit 0
           } elif (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE =
    satisfactory
             K += 1
             output.push(simulate_Kth_digit(N,K))
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(fixed_H) itself, it will skip
    trying to simulate itself and put it's hard coded digit on the
    diagonal, which for fixed_H is 0

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H), it will skip
    trying simulate actual_turing_H because partial_recognizer_D fails
    to classify it as circle-free

    But actual_turing_H is actually circle_free, and thus its results
    SHOULD have been on the diagonal.

    it computes _THE SAME NUMBER_ as fixed_H, so if fixed_H is put on the
    diagonal, then actual_turing_H _DOES NOT_ need to be in _THAT_ total
    enumeration of _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_

    But your computation wasn't actually a diagonal of computable numbers,
    but of machines that made computable numbers.

    same thing moron


    Nope, I guess you are just admitting that your logic depends on being
    sloppy.

    Note, Turing SPECIFICALLY pointed out that he was going to the related problem, the problem of:

    but the problem of enumerating computable sequences is equivalent to the problem of finding out whether a given number is the D.N of a
    circle-free machine, and we have no general process for doing this in a
    finite number of steps.


    So, HIS enumeration is the complete enumeration of "circle-free
    machines", which your proof admittedly doesn't do.


    Also, your proof is built on the existance of a Russel Teapot, you have

    the *specification* /works/, which shows that it's *not* contradiction
    for it to be computable


    Nope, as it is based on the fallacy of assuming the conclusion. Your
    arguement boils down to showing that *IF* you can correctly determine
    all machines that fit in a not-definable category (since you concept of [paradoxical can't actually be defined at the machine level, only at how
    a machine might have been created at a meta-level.


    just ASSUMED you cam make this partial_recoginzser_D that can make the
    precise "mistakes" you need it to. (They are mistakes because the input

    "mistake" is this case is a fallacious non-techincal value judgement on
    the return value,

    No, since your criteria that you want to use is just an undefinable term
    for a machine description.

    There is nothing "paradoxical" of the actual machine when created, as it
    then has fixed and determined behavior that can be decided on. The thing
    that is paradoxical is the mete-system pattern used to generate the
    class of machines as pair with a given decider.


    cause they are rather entirely within specification, as FALSE was
    specified to be used upon encountering an /undecidable input/, something turing_D did not handle correctly (making it _NOT EXIST_)

    But the input is NOT "undecidable" as the actual input is based on a
    actual D that does make a specific decision to the input. And it is just
    that for any given version of D, we can find a DIFFERENT H that it will
    get wrong (the H that was just built on it).

    Do you want to claim that ALL these H are "undecidable" even though for
    all of them there does exist a decider that gets the right answer?

    It seems you just don't know what the word means, and thus you
    specification is actually just non-sense.


    that come from Turing_H are, in fact, circle_free because of this
    turing_H is built on this partial_recognizdr_D which causes them to
    not hang up on themselves.

    Your "definition" of paradoxical just doesn't apply to machines, as it
    is based on the incorrect definition that assumes a machine can be
    something other than itself, and when it changes, it changes other
    things that at the meta/template level refered to its old self.

    not sure what ur problem is

    That you just don't know what your words mean, and you just refuse to learn.

    Try to actually fully DEFINE the word based on the actual properties of
    the input machine, and not refering to other machines that are not part
    of the input (but would be created as alternate inputs to foil an
    alternate decider).






    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H) itself, it >>>>> will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, because
    partial_recognizer_D fails to classify it as circle-free

    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal of the
    circle-free machines.

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_,
    which is the _ACTUAL PROBLEM_ turing was dealing with,

    No, it isn't, as your "set of computable numbers" has duplicates.

    it's still a diagonal across all computerate numbers even if it has dpulicates ...

    No, because an enumeration of a set doesn't HAVE duplicates.

    Your probe


    this level of objection is dishonest\

    No, your using misdefined terms is the real dishonesty.

    If you want to show that you can make a diagonal of computable numbers,
    you need to build an actual effective enumeration of computable numbers.

    And the problem is you can't assume your decider and then use it. That
    isn't vallid logic.

    It IS valid to assume a decider, and show that such an assumption leads
    to a contradiction, to prove that such a decider can not exist. That is
    the valid proof by contradiction.

    If we can show that if A exist, B must be true, and also that B can not
    be true, then we have proven that A can not exist.

    Assuming that A exists, and showing that one line of reasoning based on
    it doesn't lead to a contradiction, does NOT show that A does (or even
    can) exist. That is just fallacious logic.




    doing so doesn't require /all/ or _even most_ machines to be in the
    enumeration, since _most_ are duplicates of some other machine




    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(fixed_H),
    partial_recognizer_D *successfully* classifies fixed_H as
    satisfactory, so it will simulate fixed_H to it's Kth digit, the
    one hard-coded into fixed_H

    both skip simulating actual_turing_H (which would be circular logic >>>>> in either case), fixed_H also skips simulating itself (also
    circular logic), while actual_turing_H actually *does* simulate
    fixed_H successfully for it's Kth digit on the diagonal. these
    machines compute the *same* number/sequence!

    Except that by your partial_recognizer being just partial, it has
    dropped required items from the enumeration.

    _WHICH IS FINE_

    So, you admit it failed???

    ACTUAL_TURING_H IS _NOT_ REQUIRED TO BE ON THE DIAGONAL, SO IT'S FINE TO
    BE DROPPED

    If the diagonal is the diagonal of circle-free machines, it is required.

    Your problem is you keep on working with strawmen.

    If the diagonal is of computable numbers, you need to show how you trim
    down the set to not have repeats (in finite time per element) and that
    your decider actually exists, you can't just assume it.



    As I said, it dropped REQUIRED items, as this enumeration was of
    machines that computed computable numbers.

    If you try to add removal of duplicates, then we need to define the
    order, and if we do it by number, turing_H will likely be lower in
    order, as it doesn't need to generate its own number, and thus is
    simpler,

    that sentence is nonsense until u actually produce psuedo-code

    I did, just make my H call your "D" replacement, partial_recognizer_D.

    Or, is your problem that you think an enumeration doesn't define an "order"





    THis is becides the fact that you still need to show how you plan on
    actually detecting all these computationally equivalent machines in
    your

    fixed_H does not compute a minimum turing-complete set, there are
    duplicated sequences, ei machines that compute the same sequence/
    number, and _THAT IS FINE_

    Why?

    BECAUSE AN ENUMERATION THAT INCLUDES ONE OR MORE INSTANCE FOR EACH COMPUTABLE NUMBER STILL ENUMERATES *ALL* COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    Nope. Maybe you don't understand what an enumeration.

    And enumeration is a one-to-one mapping between the elements and the
    Natural Numbers.

    By your definition, you can make a countable infinite enumeation of a
    finite set, showing that the finite set is infinite.



    And, it was built on the assumption of the existance of a machine,
    that actually can not exist (based on Rice's Theorm) and thus is
    actually based on the assumption of Unicorns.

    partial_recognizer_D is *not* a total decider, so how could rice's
    theorum apply???

    But it *IS* a total decider on your "paradoxical" property.

    It can't let ANY of them through, and it must not omit any of the ones
    you need.




    partial decider to force them to not be classified as circle-free,
    even though it turns out that they are (because your decider called
    them not).

    You don't seem to understand that you don't get to look at the
    template used to build the machine, only the resultant machine from
    that template.

    And, part of the result of that, is that your attempt to try to
    define "paradoxical" just fails, as it resolves to just input your
    decider is wrong about, in part, because you don't understand what
    "decidable" actually means,


    see, not only is defining a value in fixed_H that the diagonal
    computation can put for itself in diagonal essential in making the
    diagonal actually computable, so is partial_recognizer_D skipping
    over actual_turing_H to avoid the computability paradox!

    In other words, you think it ok to compute the WRONG diagonal.

    The needed diagonal was to a COMPLETE enumeration of the circle-free
    machine.

    NO, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY A COMPLETE ENUMERATION OF _COMPUTABLE
    NUMBERS/ SEQUENCES_

    Which you don't get.

    smh



    there is *no* requirement to include a sequence _more than once_, so
    there *no* requirement to include all machines in the enumeration!

    But there is to show that your partial_recognizer_D can exist, when it
    can't.

    YOU'VE LOST THE STANDARD PROOF IT DOESN'T EXIST,

    But YOUR proof doesn't either, so the standard proof does exist.


    WHAT NEW ARGUMENT WOULD THERE BE???


    Don't need a NEW argument, as your LIES are just proven to be invalid.



    YOU need to prove your "Russel's Teapot" exists.

    Your logic just shows that you don't know how to do logic.



    That isn't really different then claiming you can prove that every
    even number grater than 2 from an infinite set of natural numbers is
    the sum of two primes, make you enumeration just the set of prime
    numbers, and thus claim that since the only even number is 2, it is
    trivially solved.

    _FALSE ANALOGY FALLACY_

    What is false about it?

    THE SUBSET IDENTIFIED BY PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D IS NOT "LESS POWERFUL"
    THAN THE TOTAL MACHINE SPACE

    Sure it is, as it doesn't make the full space.




    if the set i'm enumerating includes _AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE_ of _ALL
    COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES_

    But does it?

    YES

    How are you sure.

    You have an admittedly PARTIAL recognizer.

    How do you know that it accepts at least one instance of a machie for
    every computable number.

    How does your partial decider distinguish between turing's H and your
    fixed H?




    then it is a turing-complete subset including all possible TM
    computable sequences, and is functionally equivalent to the set of
    *all* TMs

    But, since your partial_recognizer_D doesn't exist, but was only
    assumed to exist, your program doesn't exist,




    ultimately, in order to compute a diagonal across computable
    numbers, partial_recognizer_D only needs to successfully classify
    *one* of the _infinitely_ many machines that compute any given
    computable number...

    But it isn't the diagonal across some set of computable numbers, but
    the diagonal across the ENTIRE set of computable numbers.

    Since you dropped some machines, you don't have the needed set.

    _*THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOW*_

    Then try to define what set you are actually making!!

    A SET THAT CONTAINS INFINITE INSTANCES OF ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    Which isn't a set.

    Boy are you stupid.

    Sets contain no duplicates.


    The problem is your definition of "paradoxical" doesn't actually work,
    as it is based on asking about the results of an input, that changes.


    dropping actual_turing_H from the set, for example, is _FINE_ because
    it computes _THE SAME SEQUENCE_ as fixed_H, which _IS IN THE SET_ ...

    How do you know it includes your fixed_H in the set?

    what part of the actual machine makes it different?

    THE CODE OF FIXED_H AND ACTUAL_TURING_H IS IN THE THREAD, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???

    WHich aren't full machines, not until you include the code of partial_recognizer_D,

    And, when you define it, how is Actual_turing_H "undecidable", since
    decider exist that decide what it will do.



    Remember, in the final machine given as the input, there are not

    READ TURING'S PAPER ACTUALLY TO SEE HOW A SUBSET OF TRANSITION FUNCTIONS WITHIN A TURING MACHINE CAN BE LABELED AND REFERRED TO

    Yes, and HE Defined what is subset was.

    You haven't, as you have a criteria that is just nonsense, as it is
    basded on the input changing when you look at a different decider
    looking at it.


    seperate turing_H and partial_recognizer_D denoted in the machine,
    just one big piece of algorithm. Thus nothing to base your criteria on.

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D >>>>>>>> in a turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

       actual_turing_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                               // written to F-
    squares
         do {

             K += 1
             digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
             output.push(digit)
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    well since

       partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D

    It is only that one selected candidate decider chosen to build the

    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    But it DOES exist if you have a machine you claim to be a D.


    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    The one that calls your partial_recoginzer_D as its D.

    except we can describe the behavior of actual_turing_H and prove it's
    equivalent to fixed_H, so therefore it doesn't fit what u stated was

       > But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    Undecidability as a property of a PROBLEM, not an "input" or a machine, unless you are narrowing the problem to just being about that one machine/input.

    because it *only* ever *was* about problematic input to *particular* classifiers...

    it's not my problem everyone went for over a century confusing *our*
    ability to prove outcomes, with what a /particular/ decider can
    output... ya'll got caught up in a rigor of what is fundamentally nonsense

    no one has demonstrated a *possible* machine, let alone a *real*
    machine, which we can't provably can't prove the outcome for... such a
    proof makes the machine _NEITHER POSSIBLE NOR REAL_ so it would be
    ludicrous to present such a proof to exist

    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_

    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and _NOTHING MORE_,
    and _DESERVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION_ beyond the recognition that such
    an interface _IS INCOMPLETE_


    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute the answer
    to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, which means you have chosen a particular (broken) implementation of D (since no actually correct D exists), like your partial_recognizer_D, has fulled defined behavior, and a decider can exist that determines it, there is nothing "undecidable" about that input.

    It is just that the D that H was built on is wrong. Nothing
    "paradoxical" about a machine being wrong.

    again, wrong is a _NON-TECHNICAL VALUE ASSESSMENT_ based on you just _IGNORING_ the specification i specifically created for partial_recognizer_D...

    the specification for partial_recognizer_D is when encountering
    undecidable input is to utilize FALSE,

    this _DOES NOT MEAN_ we cannot know what the /undecidable input/ does,
    as a paradox in regards to partial_recognize_D _ONLY AFFECTS_ partial_recognize_D not _OUR ABILITY TO PROVE OUTCOMES_





    (you don't have one btw, so please do let me witness ur cope)

    IT seesm you just can't read.






    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an /
    incomplete specification/ of machine and therefor _does not even
    exist_ as a real TM, not because of the hypothesized
    undecidability in relation to some D

    It is ONLY "incomplete", because it is built on a PRESUMED defined
    machine. If the decider "D" actually exists, then H is FULLY defined. >>>>
    turing_D _DOES NOT EXIST_ as it is *also* an /incomplete
    specification/, as it doesn't handle idiosyncrasies of TM computing,
    specifically self- referential set-classification paradoxes

    It doesn't need to. It just needs to be built on what you want to
    claim to be your answer for the concept of D.

    As soon as you define what machine you are going to use as your
    equivalent for D, like your partial_recognizer_D, then the template
    turing_H can be converted into an actual machine.




    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we can >>>>>> know/ prove what it does. it, however, still forms a structural
    paradox in regards to partial_recognizer_D which will fail to
    classify it as circle-free

    But, since you admit to actual_turing_H existing, that means that

    since partial_recognizer_D _CAN_ exist, then actual_turing_H _CAN_
    exist

    And so can the turing_H that uses partial_recognizer_D as its decider D. >>>
    The steps the algorithm does is what defines the machine, not the
    "names" of the things it "calls", as those names don't actually exist
    in the final building of the machine, which is the problem with your
    concept, as that is needed to determine your "paradoxical" property.

    the names are just shortcuts for the literal values rick, don't be daft

    Right, but the literal values don't have the names on them, and we don't have borders within the machine letting us know we moved from "outer
    code of H" into "the code of the D it uses", especially with Turing
    Machines were such usages are by necessity "expanded" in-line.

    please do actually read turing's paper sometime, he does organize
    machine descriptions into functional groups


    Thus, the "copy" of D that was pulled into H isn't actually the same

    no it can be literally a copy of same description than is the run by a
    UTM (universal turing machine) functional group of the machine

    thing as the independent machine D that we can talk about, just a
    functional equivalent which doesn't even have its own D.N (since that is
    a property only of full machines)

    ur really pulling at straws here rick





    pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.



    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will get >>>>>>> wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and then
    THAT machine it will get right. The problem is it creates a

    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as
    fixed_H, which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so >>>>>>>> there is no actual need to include a digit from actual_turing_H >>>>>>>> on the diagonal, as the number it computes is already included >>>>>>>> on the diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of
    actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can
    possible filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but
    still accept some machine that computes that particular number
    that it would compute with this supposedly correct
    partial_recognizer_D.

    You can't ask someone to disprove it, as that is just admitting >>>>>>> that you accept that Russel's Teapot must exist.


    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the fairy >>>>>>> dust, of assuming that your partial decider that meets ALL your >>>>>>> needs exists,


    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference between
    fixed_H and actual_turing_H is the way they respectively handle
    their own self- references. they function identically when
    handling all other machines

    But the problem isn't in it handling the machine fixed_H, but how
    it ever handles the results generated by actual_turing_H, which by
    your assumption has become a cycle-free machine and ALL equivalent
    versions of it have been partially declared to be non-cycle free.

    This means that your enumeration of machines you are looking at is, >>>>> in fact, incomplete, thus the diagonal you computed is wrong.


       fixed_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                                  // written to F-
    squares
         do {
           if (N == DN(fixed_H) {
         K += 1
             output.push(0)                           // hard coded
    digit 0
           } elif (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE = >>>>>> satisfactory
             K += 1
             output.push(simulate_Kth_digit(N,K))
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(fixed_H) itself, it will skip
    trying to simulate itself and put it's hard coded digit on the
    diagonal, which for fixed_H is 0

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H), it will skip
    trying simulate actual_turing_H because partial_recognizer_D fails >>>>>> to classify it as circle-free

    But actual_turing_H is actually circle_free, and thus its results
    SHOULD have been on the diagonal.

    it computes _THE SAME NUMBER_ as fixed_H, so if fixed_H is put on
    the diagonal, then actual_turing_H _DOES NOT_ need to be in _THAT_
    total enumeration of _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_

    But your computation wasn't actually a diagonal of computable
    numbers, but of machines that made computable numbers.

    same thing moron


    Nope, I guess you are just admitting that your logic depends on being sloppy.

    the only way to compute a diagonal across computable numbers is
    simulating each number by the machine that computes it.


    Note, Turing SPECIFICALLY pointed out that he was going to the related problem, the problem of:

    /but the problem of enumerating computable sequences is equivalent to the problem of finding out whether a given number is the D.N of a circle-
    free machine, and we have no general process for doing this in a finite number of steps/

    oh wow GREAT CATCH RICK!!!!,

    _THAT'S ANOTHER ERROR IN HIS PROOF_

    *WE CAN ENUMERATE OUT ALL COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES, WITHOUT ENUMERATING
    OUT ALL CIRCLE_FREE MACHINES*,

    SO THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE,

    we only need to compute that fact for *ONE* machine for any given
    computable sequence, _SO A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE JOB_

    fuck rick ur so bad at defending this it's actually really useful to me!

    (there's *another* specific sentence i have a problem with, where's a
    ben when u need him?)


    So, HIS enumeration is the complete enumeration of "circle-free
    machines", which your proof admittedly doesn't do.

    lol, turing_H does nothing to de-duplicate the enumeration either, why
    am i the only one subject to criticism here???


    Also, your proof is built on the existance of a Russel Teapot, you have

    the *specification* /works/, which shows that it's *not* contradiction
    for it to be computable

    Nope, as it is based on the fallacy of assuming the conclusion. Your arguement boils down to showing that *IF* you can correctly determine
    all machines that fit in a not-definable category (since you concept of [paradoxical can't actually be defined at the machine level, only at how
    a machine might have been created at a meta-level.


    just ASSUMED you cam make this partial_recoginzser_D that can make
    the precise "mistakes" you need it to. (They are mistakes because the
    input

    "mistake" is this case is a fallacious non-techincal value judgement
    on the return value,

    No, since your criteria that you want to use is just an undefinable term
    for a machine description.

    There is nothing "paradoxical" of the actual machine when created, as it then has fixed and determined behavior that can be decided on. The thing that is paradoxical is the mete-system pattern used to generate the
    class of machines as pair with a given decider.


    cause they are rather entirely within specification, as FALSE was
    specified to be used upon encountering an /undecidable input/,
    something turing_D did not handle correctly (making it _NOT EXIST_)

    But the input is NOT "undecidable" as the actual input is based on a
    actual D that does make a specific decision to the input. And it is just that for any given version of D, we can find a DIFFERENT H that it will
    get wrong (the H that was just built on it).

    Do you want to claim that ALL these H are "undecidable" even though for

    no... fixed_H contains no paradox, and is therefor not /undecidable
    input/ to any classifier

    all of them there does exist a decider that gets the right answer?

    many machines contain no paradox and are therefore classifiable by all classifiers


    It seems you just don't know what the word means, and thus you
    specification is actually just non-sense.


    that come from Turing_H are, in fact, circle_free because of this
    turing_H is built on this partial_recognizdr_D which causes them to
    not hang up on themselves.

    Your "definition" of paradoxical just doesn't apply to machines, as
    it is based on the incorrect definition that assumes a machine can be
    something other than itself, and when it changes, it changes other
    things that at the meta/template level refered to its old self.

    not sure what ur problem is

    That you just don't know what your words mean, and you just refuse to
    learn.

    Try to actually fully DEFINE the word based on the actual properties of
    the input machine, and not refering to other machines that are not part
    of the input (but would be created as alternate inputs to foil an
    alternate decider).






    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H) itself,
    it will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, because
    partial_recognizer_D fails to classify it as circle-free

    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal of
    the circle-free machines.

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_,
    which is the _ACTUAL PROBLEM_ turing was dealing with,

    No, it isn't, as your "set of computable numbers" has duplicates.

    it's still a diagonal across all computerate numbers even if it has
    dpulicates ...

    No, because an enumeration of a set doesn't HAVE duplicates.

    then the H's as of now are i suppose "generators" instead of enumerators

    and turing was wrong about that too, but i don't see u criticizing him
    now eh???


    Your probe


    this level of objection is dishonest\

    No, your using misdefined terms is the real dishonesty.

    If you want to show that you can make a diagonal of computable numbers,
    you need to build an actual effective enumeration of computable numbers.

    And the problem is you can't assume your decider and then use it. That
    isn't vallid logic.

    but i can show turing was wrong about a series of points, in the most influence math paper of last century,

    that's good enough start for me

    i can do more once i gain some recognition with that


    It IS valid to assume a decider, and show that such an assumption leads
    to a contradiction, to prove that such a decider can not exist. That is
    the valid proof by contradiction.

    If we can show that if A exist, B must be true, and also that B can not
    be true, then we have proven that A can not exist.

    Assuming that A exists, and showing that one line of reasoning based on
    it doesn't lead to a contradiction, does NOT show that A does (or even
    can) exist. That is just fallacious logic.




    doing so doesn't require /all/ or _even most_ machines to be in the
    enumeration, since _most_ are duplicates of some other machine




    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(fixed_H),
    partial_recognizer_D *successfully* classifies fixed_H as
    satisfactory, so it will simulate fixed_H to it's Kth digit, the
    one hard-coded into fixed_H

    both skip simulating actual_turing_H (which would be circular
    logic in either case), fixed_H also skips simulating itself (also >>>>>> circular logic), while actual_turing_H actually *does* simulate
    fixed_H successfully for it's Kth digit on the diagonal. these
    machines compute the *same* number/sequence!

    Except that by your partial_recognizer being just partial, it has
    dropped required items from the enumeration.

    _WHICH IS FINE_

    So, you admit it failed???

    ACTUAL_TURING_H IS _NOT_ REQUIRED TO BE ON THE DIAGONAL, SO IT'S FINE
    TO BE DROPPED

    If the diagonal is the diagonal of circle-free machines, it is required.

    Your problem is you keep on working with strawmen.

    If the diagonal is of computable numbers, you need to show how you trim
    down the set to not have repeats (in finite time per element) and that
    your decider actually exists, you can't just assume it.



    As I said, it dropped REQUIRED items, as this enumeration was of
    machines that computed computable numbers.

    If you try to add removal of duplicates, then we need to define the
    order, and if we do it by number, turing_H will likely be lower in
    order, as it doesn't need to generate its own number, and thus is
    simpler,

    that sentence is nonsense until u actually produce psuedo-code

    I did, just make my H call your "D" replacement, partial_recognizer_D.

    Or, is your problem that you think an enumeration doesn't define an "order"





    THis is becides the fact that you still need to show how you plan
    on actually detecting all these computationally equivalent machines >>>>> in your

    fixed_H does not compute a minimum turing-complete set, there are
    duplicated sequences, ei machines that compute the same sequence/
    number, and _THAT IS FINE_

    Why?

    BECAUSE AN ENUMERATION THAT INCLUDES ONE OR MORE INSTANCE FOR EACH
    COMPUTABLE NUMBER STILL ENUMERATES *ALL* COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    Nope. Maybe you don't understand what an enumeration.

    And enumeration is a one-to-one mapping between the elements and the
    Natural Numbers.

    By your definition, you can make a countable infinite enumeation of a
    finite set, showing that the finite set is infinite.



    And, it was built on the assumption of the existance of a machine,
    that actually can not exist (based on Rice's Theorm) and thus is
    actually based on the assumption of Unicorns.

    partial_recognizer_D is *not* a total decider, so how could rice's
    theorum apply???

    But it *IS* a total decider on your "paradoxical" property.

    It can't let ANY of them through, and it must not omit any of the ones
    you need.




    partial decider to force them to not be classified as circle-free,
    even though it turns out that they are (because your decider called >>>>> them not).

    You don't seem to understand that you don't get to look at the
    template used to build the machine, only the resultant machine from >>>>> that template.

    And, part of the result of that, is that your attempt to try to
    define "paradoxical" just fails, as it resolves to just input your
    decider is wrong about, in part, because you don't understand what
    "decidable" actually means,


    see, not only is defining a value in fixed_H that the diagonal
    computation can put for itself in diagonal essential in making the >>>>>> diagonal actually computable, so is partial_recognizer_D skipping >>>>>> over actual_turing_H to avoid the computability paradox!

    In other words, you think it ok to compute the WRONG diagonal.

    The needed diagonal was to a COMPLETE enumeration of the circle-
    free machine.

    NO, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY A COMPLETE ENUMERATION OF _COMPUTABLE
    NUMBERS/ SEQUENCES_

    Which you don't get.

    smh



    there is *no* requirement to include a sequence _more than once_, so
    there *no* requirement to include all machines in the enumeration!

    But there is to show that your partial_recognizer_D can exist, when
    it can't.

    YOU'VE LOST THE STANDARD PROOF IT DOESN'T EXIST,

    But YOUR proof doesn't either, so the standard proof does exist.


    WHAT NEW ARGUMENT WOULD THERE BE???


    Don't need a NEW argument, as your LIES are just proven to be invalid.



    YOU need to prove your "Russel's Teapot" exists.

    Your logic just shows that you don't know how to do logic.



    That isn't really different then claiming you can prove that every
    even number grater than 2 from an infinite set of natural numbers
    is the sum of two primes, make you enumeration just the set of
    prime numbers, and thus claim that since the only even number is 2, >>>>> it is trivially solved.

    _FALSE ANALOGY FALLACY_

    What is false about it?

    THE SUBSET IDENTIFIED BY PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D IS NOT "LESS POWERFUL"
    THAN THE TOTAL MACHINE SPACE

    Sure it is, as it doesn't make the full space.




    if the set i'm enumerating includes _AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE_ of _ALL
    COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES_

    But does it?

    YES

    How are you sure.

    You have an admittedly PARTIAL recognizer.

    How do you know that it accepts at least one instance of a machie for
    every computable number.

    How does your partial decider distinguish between turing's H and your
    fixed H?




    then it is a turing-complete subset including all possible TM
    computable sequences, and is functionally equivalent to the set of
    *all* TMs

    But, since your partial_recognizer_D doesn't exist, but was only
    assumed to exist, your program doesn't exist,




    ultimately, in order to compute a diagonal across computable
    numbers, partial_recognizer_D only needs to successfully classify >>>>>> *one* of the _infinitely_ many machines that compute any given
    computable number...

    But it isn't the diagonal across some set of computable numbers,
    but the diagonal across the ENTIRE set of computable numbers.

    Since you dropped some machines, you don't have the needed set.

    _*THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOW*_

    Then try to define what set you are actually making!!

    A SET THAT CONTAINS INFINITE INSTANCES OF ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    Which isn't a set.

    Boy are you stupid.

    Sets contain no duplicates.


    The problem is your definition of "paradoxical" doesn't actually
    work, as it is based on asking about the results of an input, that
    changes.


    dropping actual_turing_H from the set, for example, is _FINE_
    because it computes _THE SAME SEQUENCE_ as fixed_H, which _IS IN THE
    SET_ ...

    How do you know it includes your fixed_H in the set?

    what part of the actual machine makes it different?

    THE CODE OF FIXED_H AND ACTUAL_TURING_H IS IN THE THREAD, WHAT ARE YOU
    TALKING ABOUT???

    WHich aren't full machines, not until you include the code of partial_recognizer_D,

    And, when you define it, how is Actual_turing_H "undecidable", since
    decider exist that decide what it will do.



    Remember, in the final machine given as the input, there are not

    READ TURING'S PAPER ACTUALLY TO SEE HOW A SUBSET OF TRANSITION
    FUNCTIONS WITHIN A TURING MACHINE CAN BE LABELED AND REFERRED TO

    Yes, and HE Defined what is subset was.

    You haven't, as you have a criteria that is just nonsense, as it is
    basded on the input changing when you look at a different decider
    looking at it.


    seperate turing_H and partial_recognizer_D denoted in the machine,
    just one big piece of algorithm. Thus nothing to base your criteria on.




    shit rick, idk how ur still denying what's right under ur nose,

    Because what you are putting under my nose is just CRAP based on
    errors

    goddamn rick smh u could spot a diamond in the rough even if god

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D >>>>>>>>> in a turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

       actual_turing_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                               // written to F-
    squares
         do {
           if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) {  // TRUE = >>>>>>>>> satisfactory
             K += 1
             digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
             output.push(digit)
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    well since

       partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D

    this is unfortunately a fallacious understanding of

    But, we aren't looking at "undecidable inputs", as these inputs
    are not "undecidable", but by the time that they have actually
    been made into an input, and thus first had the program created,
    which required creating the instance of the decider selctected,
    they have definite behavior that other some decider can determine. >>>>>>

    undecidability only actually exists as a relationship between a >>>>>>> particular machine and the particular classifier it creates a
    structural paradox for,


    In other words, you don't understand what "undecidability"
    actually is.

    Undecidability, means that there does not exist ANY decider that
    can get the right answer for all instances of the problem, (or if >>>>>> the problem has been reduced to just that one input, for that input). >>>>>>
    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's
    behavior that u are trying to treat it as,

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    But it DOES exist if you have a machine you claim to be a D.


    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    The one that calls your partial_recoginzer_D as its D.

    except we can describe the behavior of actual_turing_H and prove it's
    equivalent to fixed_H, so therefore it doesn't fit what u stated was

       > But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    Undecidability as a property of a PROBLEM, not an "input" or a
    machine, unless you are narrowing the problem to just being about that
    one machine/input.

    because it *only* ever *was* about problematic input to *particular* classifiers...

    it's not my problem everyone went for over a century confusing *our*
    ability to prove outcomes, with what a /particular/ decider can
    output... ya'll got caught up in a rigor of what is fundamentally nonsense

    no one has demonstrated a *possible* machine, let alone a *real*
    machine, which we can't provably can't prove the outcome for... such a
    proof makes the machine _NEITHER POSSIBLE NOR REAL_ so it would be
    ludicrous to present such a proof to exist

    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_

    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and _NOTHING MORE_,
    and _DESERVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION_ beyond the recognition that such
    an interface _IS INCOMPLETE_


    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute the
    answer to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, which means
    you have chosen a particular (broken) implementation of D (since no
    actually correct D exists), like your partial_recognizer_D, has fulled
    defined behavior, and a decider can exist that determines it, there is
    nothing "undecidable" about that input.

    It is just that the D that H was built on is wrong. Nothing
    "paradoxical" about a machine being wrong.

    again, wrong is a _NON-TECHNICAL VALUE ASSESSMENT_ based on you just _IGNORING_ the specification i specifically created for partial_recognizer_D...

    the specification for partial_recognizer_D is when encountering
    undecidable input is to utilize FALSE,

    this _DOES NOT MEAN_ we cannot know what the /undecidable input/ does,
    as a paradox in regards to partial_recognize_D _ONLY AFFECTS_ partial_recognize_D not _OUR ABILITY TO PROVE OUTCOMES_





    (you don't have one btw, so please do let me witness ur cope)

    IT seesm you just can't read.






    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an /
    incomplete specification/ of machine and therefor _does not even >>>>>>> exist_ as a real TM, not because of the hypothesized

    It doesn't need to. It just needs to be built on what you want to
    claim to be your answer for the concept of D.

    As soon as you define what machine you are going to use as your
    equivalent for D, like your partial_recognizer_D, then the template
    turing_H can be converted into an actual machine.




    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we
    can know/ prove what it does. it, however, still forms a
    structural paradox in regards to partial_recognizer_D which will >>>>>>> fail to classify it as circle-free

    But, since you admit to actual_turing_H existing, that means that

    since partial_recognizer_D _CAN_ exist, then actual_turing_H _CAN_
    exist

    And so can the turing_H that uses partial_recognizer_D as its
    decider D.

    The steps the algorithm does is what defines the machine, not the
    "names" of the things it "calls", as those names don't actually
    exist in the final building of the machine, which is the problem
    with your concept, as that is needed to determine your "paradoxical"
    property.

    the names are just shortcuts for the literal values rick, don't be daft

    Right, but the literal values don't have the names on them, and we
    don't have borders within the machine letting us know we moved from
    "outer code of H" into "the code of the D it uses", especially with
    Turing Machines were such usages are by necessity "expanded" in-line.

    please do actually read turing's paper sometime, he does organize
    machine descriptions into functional groups


    Thus, the "copy" of D that was pulled into H isn't actually the same

    no it can be literally a copy of same description than is the run by a
    UTM (universal turing machine) functional group of the machine

    thing as the independent machine D that we can talk about, just a
    functional equivalent which doesn't even have its own D.N (since that
    is a property only of full machines)

    ur really pulling at straws here rick





    pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.



    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will get >>>>>>>> wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and then >>>>>>>> THAT machine it will get right. The problem is it creates a
    DIFFERENT input, that uses this new version of the machine, that >>>>>>>> it will get wrong.


    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as
    fixed_H, which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so >>>>>>>>> there is no actual need to include a digit from actual_turing_H >>>>>>>>> on the diagonal, as the number it computes is already included >>>>>>>>> on the diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of >>>>>>>> actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can
    possible filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but >>>>>>>> still accept some machine that computes that particular number >>>>>>>> that it would compute with this supposedly correct
    partial_recognizer_D.

    You can't ask someone to disprove it, as that is just admitting >>>>>>>> that you accept that Russel's Teapot must exist.


    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the
    fairy dust, of assuming that your partial decider that meets ALL >>>>>>>> your needs exists,


    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference between >>>>>>> fixed_H and actual_turing_H is the way they respectively handle >>>>>>> their own self- references. they function identically when
    handling all other machines

    But the problem isn't in it handling the machine fixed_H, but how >>>>>> it ever handles the results generated by actual_turing_H, which by >>>>>> your assumption has become a cycle-free machine and ALL equivalent >>>>>> versions of it have been partially declared to be non-cycle free.

    This means that your enumeration of machines you are looking at
    is, in fact, incomplete, thus the diagonal you computed is wrong.


       fixed_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                                  // written to
    F- squares
         do {
           if (N == DN(fixed_H) {
         K += 1
             output.push(0)                           // hard coded
    digit 0
           } elif (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE = >>>>>>> satisfactory
             K += 1
             output.push(simulate_Kth_digit(N,K))
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(fixed_H) itself, it will skip
    trying to simulate itself and put it's hard coded digit on the
    diagonal, which for fixed_H is 0

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H), it will skip
    trying simulate actual_turing_H because partial_recognizer_D
    fails to classify it as circle-free

    But actual_turing_H is actually circle_free, and thus its results >>>>>> SHOULD have been on the diagonal.

    it computes _THE SAME NUMBER_ as fixed_H, so if fixed_H is put on
    the diagonal, then actual_turing_H _DOES NOT_ need to be in _THAT_
    total enumeration of _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_

    But your computation wasn't actually a diagonal of computable
    numbers, but of machines that made computable numbers.

    same thing moron


    Nope, I guess you are just admitting that your logic depends on being
    sloppy.

    the only way to compute a diagonal across computable numbers is
    simulating each number by the machine that computes it.


    Note, Turing SPECIFICALLY pointed out that he was going to the related
    problem, the problem of:

    /but the problem of enumerating computable sequences is equivalent to
    the problem of finding out whether a given number is the D.N of a
    circle- free machine, and we have no general process for doing this in
    a finite number of steps/

    oh wow GREAT CATCH RICK!!!!,

    _THAT'S ANOTHER ERROR IN HIS PROOF_

    *WE CAN ENUMERATE OUT ALL COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES, WITHOUT ENUMERATING
    OUT ALL CIRCLE_FREE MACHINES*,

    SO THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE,

    we only need to compute that fact for *ONE* machine for any given
    computable sequence, _SO A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE JOB_

    fuck rick ur so bad at defending this it's actually really useful to me!

    (there's *another* specific sentence i have a problem with, where's a
    ben when u need him?)


    So, HIS enumeration is the complete enumeration of "circle-free
    machines", which your proof admittedly doesn't do.

    lol, turing_H does nothing to de-duplicate the enumeration either, why
    am i the only one subject to criticism here???


    Also, your proof is built on the existance of a Russel Teapot, you have >>>
    the *specification* /works/, which shows that it's *not*
    contradiction for it to be computable

    Nope, as it is based on the fallacy of assuming the conclusion. Your
    arguement boils down to showing that *IF* you can correctly determine
    all machines that fit in a not-definable category (since you concept
    of [paradoxical can't actually be defined at the machine level, only
    at how a machine might have been created at a meta-level.


    just ASSUMED you cam make this partial_recoginzser_D that can make
    the precise "mistakes" you need it to. (They are mistakes because
    the input

    "mistake" is this case is a fallacious non-techincal value judgement
    on the return value,

    No, since your criteria that you want to use is just an undefinable
    term for a machine description.

    There is nothing "paradoxical" of the actual machine when created, as
    it then has fixed and determined behavior that can be decided on. The
    thing that is paradoxical is the mete-system pattern used to generate
    the class of machines as pair with a given decider.


    cause they are rather entirely within specification, as FALSE was
    specified to be used upon encountering an /undecidable input/,
    something turing_D did not handle correctly (making it _NOT EXIST_)

    But the input is NOT "undecidable" as the actual input is based on a
    actual D that does make a specific decision to the input. And it is
    just that for any given version of D, we can find a DIFFERENT H that
    it will get wrong (the H that was just built on it).

    Do you want to claim that ALL these H are "undecidable" even though for

    no... fixed_H contains no paradox, and is therefor not /undecidable
    input/ to any classifier

    all of them there does exist a decider that gets the right answer?

    many machines contain no paradox and are therefore classifiable by all classifiers

    ultimately my thesis depends on me proving that the subset of machines
    which contain no paradoxes, to any classifier, and is therefore
    /decidable input/ to all classifiers, is a turing-complete subset that includes at least one machine computing each of all possible _computable sequences_ (finite and infinite). dunno how to do that just yet, but
    doesn't mean i can't 🤷

    and i would like to hear u crank on and on and on about how i will
    certainly never achieve such and that i'm a total loser retarded idiot incapable of understanding just how mindfuckingly stupid every sentence
    i've ever written has ever been eh???? we all know that's the only side
    u ever argue...



    It seems you just don't know what the word means, and thus you
    specification is actually just non-sense.


    that come from Turing_H are, in fact, circle_free because of this
    turing_H is built on this partial_recognizdr_D which causes them to
    not hang up on themselves.

    Your "definition" of paradoxical just doesn't apply to machines, as
    it is based on the incorrect definition that assumes a machine can
    be something other than itself, and when it changes, it changes
    other things that at the meta/template level refered to its old self.

    not sure what ur problem is

    That you just don't know what your words mean, and you just refuse to
    learn.

    Try to actually fully DEFINE the word based on the actual properties
    of the input machine, and not refering to other machines that are not
    part of the input (but would be created as alternate inputs to foil an
    alternate decider).






    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H) itself, >>>>>>> it will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, because
    partial_recognizer_D fails to classify it as circle-free

    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal of
    the circle-free machines.

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_,
    which is the _ACTUAL PROBLEM_ turing was dealing with,

    No, it isn't, as your "set of computable numbers" has duplicates.

    it's still a diagonal across all computerate numbers even if it has
    dpulicates ...

    No, because an enumeration of a set doesn't HAVE duplicates.

    then the H's as of now are i suppose "generators" instead of  enumerators

    and turing was wrong about that too, but i don't see u criticizing him
    now eh???


    Your probe


    this level of objection is dishonest\

    No, your using misdefined terms is the real dishonesty.

    If you want to show that you can make a diagonal of computable
    numbers, you need to build an actual effective enumeration of
    computable numbers.

    And the problem is you can't assume your decider and then use it. That
    isn't vallid logic.

    but i can show turing was wrong about a series of points, in the most influence math paper of last century,

    that's good enough start for me

    i can do more once i gain some recognition with that


    It IS valid to assume a decider, and show that such an assumption
    leads to a contradiction, to prove that such a decider can not exist.
    That is the valid proof by contradiction.

    If we can show that if A exist, B must be true, and also that B can
    not be true, then we have proven that A can not exist.

    Assuming that A exists, and showing that one line of reasoning based
    on it doesn't lead to a contradiction, does NOT show that A does (or
    even can) exist. That is just fallacious logic.




    doing so doesn't require /all/ or _even most_ machines to be in the >>>>> enumeration, since _most_ are duplicates of some other machine




    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(fixed_H),
    partial_recognizer_D *successfully* classifies fixed_H as
    satisfactory, so it will simulate fixed_H to it's Kth digit, the >>>>>>> one hard-coded into fixed_H

    both skip simulating actual_turing_H (which would be circular
    logic in either case), fixed_H also skips simulating itself (also >>>>>>> circular logic), while actual_turing_H actually *does* simulate >>>>>>> fixed_H successfully for it's Kth digit on the diagonal. these
    machines compute the *same* number/sequence!

    Except that by your partial_recognizer being just partial, it has >>>>>> dropped required items from the enumeration.

    _WHICH IS FINE_

    So, you admit it failed???

    ACTUAL_TURING_H IS _NOT_ REQUIRED TO BE ON THE DIAGONAL, SO IT'S FINE
    TO BE DROPPED

    If the diagonal is the diagonal of circle-free machines, it is required.

    Your problem is you keep on working with strawmen.

    If the diagonal is of computable numbers, you need to show how you
    trim down the set to not have repeats (in finite time per element) and
    that your decider actually exists, you can't just assume it.



    As I said, it dropped REQUIRED items, as this enumeration was of
    machines that computed computable numbers.

    If you try to add removal of duplicates, then we need to define the
    order, and if we do it by number, turing_H will likely be lower in
    order, as it doesn't need to generate its own number, and thus is
    simpler,

    that sentence is nonsense until u actually produce psuedo-code

    I did, just make my H call your "D" replacement, partial_recognizer_D.

    Or, is your problem that you think an enumeration doesn't define an
    "order"





    THis is becides the fact that you still need to show how you plan >>>>>> on actually detecting all these computationally equivalent
    machines in your

    fixed_H does not compute a minimum turing-complete set, there are
    duplicated sequences, ei machines that compute the same sequence/
    number, and _THAT IS FINE_

    Why?

    BECAUSE AN ENUMERATION THAT INCLUDES ONE OR MORE INSTANCE FOR EACH
    COMPUTABLE NUMBER STILL ENUMERATES *ALL* COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    Nope. Maybe you don't understand what an enumeration.

    And enumeration is a one-to-one mapping between the elements and the
    Natural Numbers.

    By your definition, you can make a countable infinite enumeation of a
    finite set, showing that the finite set is infinite.



    And, it was built on the assumption of the existance of a machine,
    that actually can not exist (based on Rice's Theorm) and thus is
    actually based on the assumption of Unicorns.

    partial_recognizer_D is *not* a total decider, so how could rice's
    theorum apply???

    But it *IS* a total decider on your "paradoxical" property.

    It can't let ANY of them through, and it must not omit any of the ones
    you need.




    partial decider to force them to not be classified as circle-free, >>>>>> even though it turns out that they are (because your decider
    called them not).

    You don't seem to understand that you don't get to look at the
    template used to build the machine, only the resultant machine
    from that template.

    And, part of the result of that, is that your attempt to try to
    define "paradoxical" just fails, as it resolves to just input your >>>>>> decider is wrong about, in part, because you don't understand what >>>>>> "decidable" actually means,


    see, not only is defining a value in fixed_H that the diagonal
    computation can put for itself in diagonal essential in making
    the diagonal actually computable, so is partial_recognizer_D
    skipping over actual_turing_H to avoid the computability paradox! >>>>>>
    In other words, you think it ok to compute the WRONG diagonal.

    The needed diagonal was to a COMPLETE enumeration of the circle-
    free machine.

    NO, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY A COMPLETE ENUMERATION OF _COMPUTABLE
    NUMBERS/ SEQUENCES_

    Which you don't get.

    smh



    there is *no* requirement to include a sequence _more than once_,
    so there *no* requirement to include all machines in the enumeration! >>>>
    But there is to show that your partial_recognizer_D can exist, when
    it can't.

    YOU'VE LOST THE STANDARD PROOF IT DOESN'T EXIST,

    But YOUR proof doesn't either, so the standard proof does exist.


    WHAT NEW ARGUMENT WOULD THERE BE???


    Don't need a NEW argument, as your LIES are just proven to be invalid.



    YOU need to prove your "Russel's Teapot" exists.

    Your logic just shows that you don't know how to do logic.



    That isn't really different then claiming you can prove that every >>>>>> even number grater than 2 from an infinite set of natural numbers >>>>>> is the sum of two primes, make you enumeration just the set of
    prime numbers, and thus claim that since the only even number is
    2, it is trivially solved.

    _FALSE ANALOGY FALLACY_

    What is false about it?

    THE SUBSET IDENTIFIED BY PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D IS NOT "LESS POWERFUL"
    THAN THE TOTAL MACHINE SPACE

    Sure it is, as it doesn't make the full space.




    if the set i'm enumerating includes _AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE_ of _ALL >>>>> COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES_

    But does it?

    YES

    How are you sure.

    You have an admittedly PARTIAL recognizer.

    How do you know that it accepts at least one instance of a machie for
    every computable number.

    How does your partial decider distinguish between turing's H and your
    fixed H?




    then it is a turing-complete subset including all possible TM
    computable sequences, and is functionally equivalent to the set of
    *all* TMs

    But, since your partial_recognizer_D doesn't exist, but was only
    assumed to exist, your program doesn't exist,




    ultimately, in order to compute a diagonal across computable
    numbers, partial_recognizer_D only needs to successfully classify >>>>>>> *one* of the _infinitely_ many machines that compute any given
    computable number...

    But it isn't the diagonal across some set of computable numbers,
    but the diagonal across the ENTIRE set of computable numbers.

    Since you dropped some machines, you don't have the needed set.

    _*THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOW*_

    Then try to define what set you are actually making!!

    A SET THAT CONTAINS INFINITE INSTANCES OF ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    Which isn't a set.

    Boy are you stupid.

    Sets contain no duplicates.


    The problem is your definition of "paradoxical" doesn't actually
    work, as it is based on asking about the results of an input, that
    changes.


    dropping actual_turing_H from the set, for example, is _FINE_
    because it computes _THE SAME SEQUENCE_ as fixed_H, which _IS IN
    THE SET_ ...

    How do you know it includes your fixed_H in the set?

    what part of the actual machine makes it different?

    THE CODE OF FIXED_H AND ACTUAL_TURING_H IS IN THE THREAD, WHAT ARE
    YOU TALKING ABOUT???

    WHich aren't full machines, not until you include the code of
    partial_recognizer_D,

    And, when you define it, how is Actual_turing_H "undecidable", since
    decider exist that decide what it will do.



    Remember, in the final machine given as the input, there are not

    READ TURING'S PAPER ACTUALLY TO SEE HOW A SUBSET OF TRANSITION
    FUNCTIONS WITHIN A TURING MACHINE CAN BE LABELED AND REFERRED TO

    Yes, and HE Defined what is subset was.

    You haven't, as you have a criteria that is just nonsense, as it is
    basded on the input changing when you look at a different decider
    looking at it.


    seperate turing_H and partial_recognizer_D denoted in the machine,
    just one big piece of algorithm. Thus nothing to base your criteria on. >>>>

    now if ur trying to argue: what if we use partial_recognizer_D >>>>>>>>> in a turing_H type machine? that is a fair point

    this would give us the machine (that actually does exist):

       actual_turing_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                               // written to F-
    squares
         do {
           if (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) {  // TRUE = >>>>>>>>> satisfactory
             K += 1
             digit = simulate_Kth_digit(N,K)
             output.push(digit)
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    well since

       partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D
    classifier, when actually run actual_turing_H will simply skip >>>>>>>>> putting it's own digit in the computed sequence


    But the problem is that for a given partial_recognizer_D, the >>>>>>>> actual_turing_H isn't an "undecidable input", as it has definite >>>>>>>> behavior, just behavior that partial_recognizer_D gets wrong.

    this is unfortunately a fallacious understanding of
    undecidability. just because a machine is /undecidable input/ to >>>>>>> a particular classifier does mean we cannot then prove and know >>>>>>> ourselves what the machine actually does,


    But, we aren't looking at "undecidable inputs", as these inputs
    are not "undecidable", but by the time that they have actually
    been made into an input, and thus first had the program created,
    which required creating the instance of the decider selctected,
    they have definite behavior that other some decider can determine. >>>>>>
    It is only that one selected candidate decider chosen to build the >>>>>> input that is shown to get the wrong answer.

    undecidability only actually exists as a relationship between a >>>>>>> particular machine and the particular classifier it creates a
    structural paradox for,


    In other words, you don't understand what "undecidability"
    actually is.

    Undecidability, means that there does not exist ANY decider that
    can get the right answer for all instances of the problem, (or if >>>>>> the problem has been reduced to just that one input, for that input). >>>>>>
    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's
    behavior that u are trying to treat it as,

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    But it DOES exist if you have a machine you claim to be a D.


    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    The one that calls your partial_recoginzer_D as its D.

    except we can describe the behavior of actual_turing_H and prove it's
    equivalent to fixed_H, so therefore it doesn't fit what u stated was

       > But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    Undecidability as a property of a PROBLEM, not an "input" or a
    machine, unless you are narrowing the problem to just being about that
    one machine/input.

    because it *only* ever *was* about problematic input to *particular* classifiers...


    Except that isn't what "Undecidability" is about. And you are just
    proving you don't know what you are talking about.

    If we use the correct term, what you are tying to call "undeciability"
    is really just not being correct. The problem is a "particualar
    classifier" has a fixed set of how it classifies everything. And thus,
    nothing can be "paradoxical" to it, as we never get to the other side,

    The other side you talk about is about if this decider was a different decider, and some how magically the input was also a different input
    converted by a method not "in system" but only in a meta-system.

    it's not my problem everyone went for over a century confusing *our*
    ability to prove outcomes, with what a /particular/ decider can
    output... ya'll got caught up in a rigor of what is fundamentally nonsense

    Because what a particual decider does, if it isnt' right, is just not interesting,


    no one has demonstrated a *possible* machine, let alone a *real*
    machine, which we can't provably can't prove the outcome for... such a
    proof makes the machine _NEITHER POSSIBLE NOR REAL_ so it would be
    ludicrous to present such a proof to exist

    Only sort of right. Yes, we can not produce a machine that we know we
    can not possibly ever decide if it halts or not, because such a machine
    must by definition be non-halting, since ALL halting machines are
    provable halting by just running them. Thus, to prove we can't know they
    halt, we need to prove they don't halt, but then we know their behavior.

    The fact we can't demonstrate and example of that class, doesn't mean
    members of it can't exist.



    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_

    So? What that proves is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually acheive the
    goal defined for turing_D, a machine that determines if a given machine
    is circle-free.


    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and _NOTHING MORE_,
    and _DESERVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION_ beyond the recognition that such
    an interface _IS INCOMPLETE_

    No, it prove that the interface is uncomputable, and no such machine exists.

    If you want to be consistant, YOUR partial_decider_D is ALSO incomplete,
    as you haven't specified HOW it does what it does, just lie turing
    didn't define how his D was to do its work.

    Your problem is that Turing's goal was to prove that no such machine
    could exist, which he succeeded at, but YOUR claim is that such a thing
    might be able to exist, which you just have not proven.



    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute the
    answer to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, which means
    you have chosen a particular (broken) implementation of D (since no
    actually correct D exists), like your partial_recognizer_D, has fulled
    defined behavior, and a decider can exist that determines it, there is
    nothing "undecidable" about that input.

    It is just that the D that H was built on is wrong. Nothing
    "paradoxical" about a machine being wrong.

    again, wrong is a _NON-TECHNICAL VALUE ASSESSMENT_ based on you just _IGNORING_ the specification i specifically created for partial_recognizer_D...

    No, your problem is you just are too stupid to understand that your "specification" is just nonsense, as it assumes that you can perform a
    test by "changing" the decider and the input to see a results.

    But the specification is about a particular input and decider.


    the specification for partial_recognizer_D is when encountering
    undecidable input is to utilize FALSE,

    But there is no such thing as an "undecidable input", your definition is
    just internally inconsistantly trying to define input that the decider
    gets wrong. Since the class the partial decider is



    this _DOES NOT MEAN_ we cannot know what the /undecidable input/ does,
    as a paradox in regards to partial_recognize_D _ONLY AFFECTS_ partial_recognize_D not _OUR ABILITY TO PROVE OUTCOMES_

    In other words, you admit that you words are just lies and don't mean
    what they say.

    Your "undecidable" isn't about decidability, but correctness of a given decider.

    This means that the trivial always false machine meets your
    requirements. Any input for which the correct answer for the base
    problem would be true, THAT particular decider won't get right, so it is correct in your expanded partial sense to return false.






    (you don't have one btw, so please do let me witness ur cope)

    IT seesm you just can't read.






    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an /
    incomplete specification/ of machine and therefor _does not even >>>>>>> exist_ as a real TM, not because of the hypothesized
    undecidability in relation to some D

    It is ONLY "incomplete", because it is built on a PRESUMED defined >>>>>> machine. If the decider "D" actually exists, then H is FULLY defined. >>>>>
    turing_D _DOES NOT EXIST_ as it is *also* an /incomplete
    specification/, as it doesn't handle idiosyncrasies of TM
    computing, specifically self- referential set-classification paradoxes >>>>
    It doesn't need to. It just needs to be built on what you want to
    claim to be your answer for the concept of D.

    As soon as you define what machine you are going to use as your
    equivalent for D, like your partial_recognizer_D, then the template
    turing_H can be converted into an actual machine.




    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we
    can know/ prove what it does. it, however, still forms a
    structural paradox in regards to partial_recognizer_D which will >>>>>>> fail to classify it as circle-free

    But, since you admit to actual_turing_H existing, that means that

    since partial_recognizer_D _CAN_ exist, then actual_turing_H _CAN_
    exist

    And so can the turing_H that uses partial_recognizer_D as its
    decider D.

    The steps the algorithm does is what defines the machine, not the
    "names" of the things it "calls", as those names don't actually
    exist in the final building of the machine, which is the problem
    with your concept, as that is needed to determine your "paradoxical"
    property.

    the names are just shortcuts for the literal values rick, don't be daft

    Right, but the literal values don't have the names on them, and we
    don't have borders within the machine letting us know we moved from
    "outer code of H" into "the code of the D it uses", especially with
    Turing Machines were such usages are by necessity "expanded" in-line.

    please do actually read turing's paper sometime, he does organize
    machine descriptions into functional groups

    Yes, at meta level.



    Thus, the "copy" of D that was pulled into H isn't actually the same

    no it can be literally a copy of same description than is the run by a
    UTM (universal turing machine) functional group of the machine

    It CAN be, but doesn't NEED to be. And in fact, his H isn't described
    that way.


    thing as the independent machine D that we can talk about, just a
    functional equivalent which doesn't even have its own D.N (since that
    is a property only of full machines)

    ur really pulling at straws here rick

    You really think so?

    It seems your problem is you need to work in a tight cage where other
    ideas are not allowed that show the holes in your ideas.






    pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.



    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will get >>>>>>>> wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and then >>>>>>>> THAT machine it will get right. The problem is it creates a
    DIFFERENT input, that uses this new version of the machine, that >>>>>>>> it will get wrong.


    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as
    fixed_H, which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so >>>>>>>>> there is no actual need to include a digit from actual_turing_H >>>>>>>>> on the diagonal, as the number it computes is already included >>>>>>>>> on the diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of >>>>>>>> actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can
    possible filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but >>>>>>>> still accept some machine that computes that particular number >>>>>>>> that it would compute with this supposedly correct
    partial_recognizer_D.

    You can't ask someone to disprove it, as that is just admitting >>>>>>>> that you accept that Russel's Teapot must exist.


    goddamn rick, this rock just keeps getting more solid

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the
    fairy dust, of assuming that your partial decider that meets ALL >>>>>>>> your needs exists,


    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference between >>>>>>> fixed_H and actual_turing_H is the way they respectively handle >>>>>>> their own self- references. they function identically when
    handling all other machines

    But the problem isn't in it handling the machine fixed_H, but how >>>>>> it ever handles the results generated by actual_turing_H, which by >>>>>> your assumption has become a cycle-free machine and ALL equivalent >>>>>> versions of it have been partially declared to be non-cycle free.

    This means that your enumeration of machines you are looking at
    is, in fact, incomplete, thus the diagonal you computed is wrong.


       fixed_H = () -> {
         N = 1
         K = 0
         output = []                                  // written to
    F- squares
         do {
           if (N == DN(fixed_H) {
         K += 1
             output.push(0)                           // hard coded
    digit 0
           } elif (partial_recognizer_D(N) == TRUE) { // TRUE = >>>>>>> satisfactory
             K += 1
             output.push(simulate_Kth_digit(N,K))
           }
           N += 1
         }
       }

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(fixed_H) itself, it will skip
    trying to simulate itself and put it's hard coded digit on the
    diagonal, which for fixed_H is 0

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H), it will skip
    trying simulate actual_turing_H because partial_recognizer_D
    fails to classify it as circle-free

    But actual_turing_H is actually circle_free, and thus its results >>>>>> SHOULD have been on the diagonal.

    it computes _THE SAME NUMBER_ as fixed_H, so if fixed_H is put on
    the diagonal, then actual_turing_H _DOES NOT_ need to be in _THAT_
    total enumeration of _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_

    But your computation wasn't actually a diagonal of computable
    numbers, but of machines that made computable numbers.

    same thing moron


    Nope, I guess you are just admitting that your logic depends on being
    sloppy.

    the only way to compute a diagonal across computable numbers is
    simulating each number by the machine that computes it.

    Not the ONLY way, but a good way to try.

    But since Turing Shows this can't be done, it can't be done any way.



    Note, Turing SPECIFICALLY pointed out that he was going to the related
    problem, the problem of:

    /but the problem of enumerating computable sequences is equivalent to
    the problem of finding out whether a given number is the D.N of a
    circle- free machine, and we have no general process for doing this in
    a finite number of steps/

    oh wow GREAT CATCH RICK!!!!,

    _THAT'S ANOTHER ERROR IN HIS PROOF_

    *WE CAN ENUMERATE OUT ALL COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES, WITHOUT ENUMERATING
    OUT ALL CIRCLE_FREE MACHINES*,

    Show it.

    THe fact that he quote an equivalence that he doesn't prove he doesn't
    make his proof incorrect.


    SO THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE,


    Prove it.


    we only need to compute that fact for *ONE* machine for any given
    computable sequence, _SO A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE JOB_

    So do it.


    fuck rick ur so bad at defending this it's actually really useful to me!

    (there's *another* specific sentence i have a problem with, where's a
    ben when u need him?)

    All you have shown so far is that you are too stupid to understand the
    nature of the paper.

    Note, it was NOT intended to be the end-all self-contained regerous
    proof of the concept. It was a paper, leaning on previous work done, and
    with the intent of more work to follow to show the basic idea of why
    something was true.

    Thus, not showing how a step works, isn't an error.

    Now, to counter his claims, because they are so well accepted, you are
    going to need to be rigorous and not based an the fallacy of assuming something and showing that it doesn't lead to a contradiction when you
    follow a restricted line of reasoining.




    So, HIS enumeration is the complete enumeration of "circle-free
    machines", which your proof admittedly doesn't do.

    lol, turing_H does nothing to de-duplicate the enumeration either, why
    am i the only one subject to criticism here???


    Also, your proof is built on the existance of a Russel Teapot, you have >>>
    the *specification* /works/, which shows that it's *not*
    contradiction for it to be computable

    Nope, as it is based on the fallacy of assuming the conclusion. Your
    arguement boils down to showing that *IF* you can correctly determine
    all machines that fit in a not-definable category (since you concept
    of [paradoxical can't actually be defined at the machine level, only
    at how a machine might have been created at a meta-level.


    just ASSUMED you cam make this partial_recoginzser_D that can make
    the precise "mistakes" you need it to. (They are mistakes because
    the input

    "mistake" is this case is a fallacious non-techincal value judgement
    on the return value,

    No, since your criteria that you want to use is just an undefinable
    term for a machine description.

    There is nothing "paradoxical" of the actual machine when created, as
    it then has fixed and determined behavior that can be decided on. The
    thing that is paradoxical is the mete-system pattern used to generate
    the class of machines as pair with a given decider.


    cause they are rather entirely within specification, as FALSE was
    specified to be used upon encountering an /undecidable input/,
    something turing_D did not handle correctly (making it _NOT EXIST_)

    But the input is NOT "undecidable" as the actual input is based on a
    actual D that does make a specific decision to the input. And it is
    just that for any given version of D, we can find a DIFFERENT H that
    it will get wrong (the H that was just built on it).

    Do you want to claim that ALL these H are "undecidable" even though for

    no... fixed_H contains no paradox, and is therefor not /undecidable
    input/ to any classifier

    all of them there does exist a decider that gets the right answer?

    many machines contain no paradox and are therefore classifiable by all classifiers


    But this proof isn't about the many, but the ALL.

    A term it seems you don't understand.

    And it isn't the job of others to show you what one you missed, it is
    yours to prove that they don't, as YOU are making the claim.


    It seems you just don't know what the word means, and thus you
    specification is actually just non-sense.


    that come from Turing_H are, in fact, circle_free because of this
    turing_H is built on this partial_recognizdr_D which causes them to
    not hang up on themselves.

    Your "definition" of paradoxical just doesn't apply to machines, as
    it is based on the incorrect definition that assumes a machine can
    be something other than itself, and when it changes, it changes
    other things that at the meta/template level refered to its old self.

    not sure what ur problem is

    That you just don't know what your words mean, and you just refuse to
    learn.

    Try to actually fully DEFINE the word based on the actual properties
    of the input machine, and not refering to other machines that are not
    part of the input (but would be created as alternate inputs to foil an
    alternate decider).






    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H) itself, >>>>>>> it will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, because
    partial_recognizer_D fails to classify it as circle-free

    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal of
    the circle-free machines.

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_,
    which is the _ACTUAL PROBLEM_ turing was dealing with,

    No, it isn't, as your "set of computable numbers" has duplicates.

    it's still a diagonal across all computerate numbers even if it has
    dpulicates ...

    No, because an enumeration of a set doesn't HAVE duplicates.

    then the H's as of now are i suppose "generators" instead of  enumerators

    and turing was wrong about that too, but i don't see u criticizing him
    now eh???

    H is a generator, its goal was to generate a particual number.

    D is a decider, that allowed H, in its generation, to produce
    (internally) the enumeration that its results were defined by,

    It seems you don't understand that to reach your goal, sometimes you
    have to acheive a sub-goal that is quite different.



    Your probe


    this level of objection is dishonest\

    No, your using misdefined terms is the real dishonesty.

    If you want to show that you can make a diagonal of computable
    numbers, you need to build an actual effective enumeration of
    computable numbers.

    And the problem is you can't assume your decider and then use it. That
    isn't vallid logic.

    but i can show turing was wrong about a series of points, in the most influence math paper of last century,


    No, you haven't.

    that's good enough start for me

    Then good for you for accepting that you don't know what you are doing,


    i can do more once i gain some recognition with that

    No, once you get recognition for you stupidity, no one will be
    interested in your work./

    As I have been pointing out, your whole work is based on BAD DEFINITIONS.

    Until you figure out how to actually define (if possible) your concepts,
    you have nothing.



    It IS valid to assume a decider, and show that such an assumption
    leads to a contradiction, to prove that such a decider can not exist.
    That is the valid proof by contradiction.

    If we can show that if A exist, B must be true, and also that B can
    not be true, then we have proven that A can not exist.

    Assuming that A exists, and showing that one line of reasoning based
    on it doesn't lead to a contradiction, does NOT show that A does (or
    even can) exist. That is just fallacious logic.




    doing so doesn't require /all/ or _even most_ machines to be in the >>>>> enumeration, since _most_ are duplicates of some other machine




    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(fixed_H),
    partial_recognizer_D *successfully* classifies fixed_H as
    satisfactory, so it will simulate fixed_H to it's Kth digit, the >>>>>>> one hard-coded into fixed_H

    both skip simulating actual_turing_H (which would be circular
    logic in either case), fixed_H also skips simulating itself (also >>>>>>> circular logic), while actual_turing_H actually *does* simulate >>>>>>> fixed_H successfully for it's Kth digit on the diagonal. these
    machines compute the *same* number/sequence!

    Except that by your partial_recognizer being just partial, it has >>>>>> dropped required items from the enumeration.

    _WHICH IS FINE_

    So, you admit it failed???

    ACTUAL_TURING_H IS _NOT_ REQUIRED TO BE ON THE DIAGONAL, SO IT'S FINE
    TO BE DROPPED

    If the diagonal is the diagonal of circle-free machines, it is required.

    Your problem is you keep on working with strawmen.

    If the diagonal is of computable numbers, you need to show how you
    trim down the set to not have repeats (in finite time per element) and
    that your decider actually exists, you can't just assume it.



    As I said, it dropped REQUIRED items, as this enumeration was of
    machines that computed computable numbers.

    If you try to add removal of duplicates, then we need to define the
    order, and if we do it by number, turing_H will likely be lower in
    order, as it doesn't need to generate its own number, and thus is
    simpler,

    that sentence is nonsense until u actually produce psuedo-code

    I did, just make my H call your "D" replacement, partial_recognizer_D.

    Or, is your problem that you think an enumeration doesn't define an
    "order"





    THis is becides the fact that you still need to show how you plan >>>>>> on actually detecting all these computationally equivalent
    machines in your

    fixed_H does not compute a minimum turing-complete set, there are
    duplicated sequences, ei machines that compute the same sequence/
    number, and _THAT IS FINE_

    Why?

    BECAUSE AN ENUMERATION THAT INCLUDES ONE OR MORE INSTANCE FOR EACH
    COMPUTABLE NUMBER STILL ENUMERATES *ALL* COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    Nope. Maybe you don't understand what an enumeration.

    And enumeration is a one-to-one mapping between the elements and the
    Natural Numbers.

    By your definition, you can make a countable infinite enumeation of a
    finite set, showing that the finite set is infinite.



    And, it was built on the assumption of the existance of a machine,
    that actually can not exist (based on Rice's Theorm) and thus is
    actually based on the assumption of Unicorns.

    partial_recognizer_D is *not* a total decider, so how could rice's
    theorum apply???

    But it *IS* a total decider on your "paradoxical" property.

    It can't let ANY of them through, and it must not omit any of the ones
    you need.




    partial decider to force them to not be classified as circle-free, >>>>>> even though it turns out that they are (because your decider
    called them not).

    You don't seem to understand that you don't get to look at the
    template used to build the machine, only the resultant machine
    from that template.

    And, part of the result of that, is that your attempt to try to
    define "paradoxical" just fails, as it resolves to just input your >>>>>> decider is wrong about, in part, because you don't understand what >>>>>> "decidable" actually means,


    see, not only is defining a value in fixed_H that the diagonal
    computation can put for itself in diagonal essential in making
    the diagonal actually computable, so is partial_recognizer_D
    skipping over actual_turing_H to avoid the computability paradox! >>>>>>
    In other words, you think it ok to compute the WRONG diagonal.

    The needed diagonal was to a COMPLETE enumeration of the circle-
    free machine.

    NO, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY A COMPLETE ENUMERATION OF _COMPUTABLE
    NUMBERS/ SEQUENCES_

    Which you don't get.

    smh



    there is *no* requirement to include a sequence _more than once_,
    so there *no* requirement to include all machines in the enumeration! >>>>
    But there is to show that your partial_recognizer_D can exist, when
    it can't.

    YOU'VE LOST THE STANDARD PROOF IT DOESN'T EXIST,

    But YOUR proof doesn't either, so the standard proof does exist.


    WHAT NEW ARGUMENT WOULD THERE BE???


    Don't need a NEW argument, as your LIES are just proven to be invalid.



    YOU need to prove your "Russel's Teapot" exists.

    Your logic just shows that you don't know how to do logic.



    That isn't really different then claiming you can prove that every >>>>>> even number grater than 2 from an infinite set of natural numbers >>>>>> is the sum of two primes, make you enumeration just the set of
    prime numbers, and thus claim that since the only even number is
    2, it is trivially solved.

    _FALSE ANALOGY FALLACY_

    What is false about it?

    THE SUBSET IDENTIFIED BY PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D IS NOT "LESS POWERFUL"
    THAN THE TOTAL MACHINE SPACE

    Sure it is, as it doesn't make the full space.




    if the set i'm enumerating includes _AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE_ of _ALL >>>>> COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES_

    But does it?

    YES

    How are you sure.

    You have an admittedly PARTIAL recognizer.

    How do you know that it accepts at least one instance of a machie for
    every computable number.

    How does your partial decider distinguish between turing's H and your
    fixed H?




    then it is a turing-complete subset including all possible TM
    computable sequences, and is functionally equivalent to the set of
    *all* TMs

    But, since your partial_recognizer_D doesn't exist, but was only
    assumed to exist, your program doesn't exist,




    ultimately, in order to compute a diagonal across computable
    numbers, partial_recognizer_D only needs to successfully classify >>>>>>> *one* of the _infinitely_ many machines that compute any given
    computable number...

    But it isn't the diagonal across some set of computable numbers,
    but the diagonal across the ENTIRE set of computable numbers.

    Since you dropped some machines, you don't have the needed set.

    _*THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOW*_

    Then try to define what set you are actually making!!

    A SET THAT CONTAINS INFINITE INSTANCES OF ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    Which isn't a set.

    Boy are you stupid.

    Sets contain no duplicates.


    The problem is your definition of "paradoxical" doesn't actually
    work, as it is based on asking about the results of an input, that
    changes.


    dropping actual_turing_H from the set, for example, is _FINE_
    because it computes _THE SAME SEQUENCE_ as fixed_H, which _IS IN
    THE SET_ ...

    How do you know it includes your fixed_H in the set?

    what part of the actual machine makes it different?

    THE CODE OF FIXED_H AND ACTUAL_TURING_H IS IN THE THREAD, WHAT ARE
    YOU TALKING ABOUT???

    WHich aren't full machines, not until you include the code of
    partial_recognizer_D,

    And, when you define it, how is Actual_turing_H "undecidable", since
    decider exist that decide what it will do.



    Remember, in the final machine given as the input, there are not

    READ TURING'S PAPER ACTUALLY TO SEE HOW A SUBSET OF TRANSITION
    FUNCTIONS WITHIN A TURING MACHINE CAN BE LABELED AND REFERRED TO

    Yes, and HE Defined what is subset was.

    You haven't, as you have a criteria that is just nonsense, as it is
    basded on the input changing when you look at a different decider
    looking at it.


    seperate turing_H and partial_recognizer_D denoted in the machine,
    just one big piece of algorithm. Thus nothing to base your criteria on. >>>>

    Nope,

    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    The one that calls your partial_recoginzer_D as its D.

    except we can describe the behavior of actual_turing_H and prove
    it's equivalent to fixed_H, so therefore it doesn't fit what u
    stated was

       > But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    Undecidability as a property of a PROBLEM, not an "input" or a
    machine, unless you are narrowing the problem to just being about
    that one machine/input.

    because it *only* ever *was* about problematic input to *particular*
    classifiers...


    Except that isn't what "Undecidability" is about. And you are just
    proving you don't know what you are talking about.

    If we use the correct term, what you are tying to call "undeciability"
    is really just not being correct. The problem is a "particualar
    classifier" has a fixed set of how it classifies everything. And thus, nothing can be "paradoxical" to it, as we never get to the other side,

    RICK I'M NEVER GOING TO FIGURE YOU FOR BEING AN UNDYING ASSHOLE, EXCEPT
    MAYBE ONCE U FINALLY TAKE UR IGNORANCE TO THE GRAVE


    The other side you talk about is about if this decider was a different decider, and some how magically the input was also a different input converted by a method not "in system" but only in a meta-system.

    it's not my problem everyone went for over a century confusing *our*
    ability to prove outcomes, with what a /particular/ decider can
    output... ya'll got caught up in a rigor of what is fundamentally
    nonsense

    Because what a particual decider does, if it isnt' right, is just not interesting,


    no one has demonstrated a *possible* machine, let alone a *real*
    machine, which we can't provably can't prove the outcome for... such a
    proof makes the machine _NEITHER POSSIBLE NOR REAL_ so it would be
    ludicrous to present such a proof to exist

    Only sort of right. Yes, we can not produce a machine that we know we
    can not possibly ever decide if it halts or not, because such a machine
    must by definition be non-halting, since ALL halting machines are
    provable halting by just running them. Thus, to prove we can't know they halt, we need to prove they don't halt, but then we know their behavior.

    The fact we can't demonstrate and example of that class, doesn't mean members of it can't exist.

    FUCK UR DAMN TEAPOT RICK




    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and
    therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_

    So? What that proves is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually acheive the
    goal defined for turing_D, a machine that determines if a given machine
    is circle-free.


    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and _NOTHING
    MORE_, and _DESERVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION_ beyond the recognition
    that such an interface _IS INCOMPLETE_

    No, it prove that the interface is uncomputable, and no such machine
    exists.

    BECAUSE IT'S INCOMPLETE. AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ THAT DOES NOT
    HANDLE ALL INPUT SITUATIONS CANNOT EXIST


    If you want to be consistant, YOUR partial_decider_D is ALSO incomplete,

    IT'S NOT INCOMPLETE AS IT HANDLES ALL INPUT SITUATIONS

    as you haven't specified HOW it does what it does, just lie turing
    didn't define how his D was to do its work.

    Your problem is that Turing's goal was to prove that no such machine
    could exist, which he succeeded at, but YOUR claim is that such a thing might be able to exist, which you just have not proven.



    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute the
    answer to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, which means
    you have chosen a particular (broken) implementation of D (since no
    actually correct D exists), like your partial_recognizer_D, has
    fulled defined behavior, and a decider can exist that determines it,
    there is nothing "undecidable" about that input.

    It is just that the D that H was built on is wrong. Nothing
    "paradoxical" about a machine being wrong.

    again, wrong is a _NON-TECHNICAL VALUE ASSESSMENT_ based on you just
    _IGNORING_ the specification i specifically created for
    partial_recognizer_D...

    No, your problem is you just are too stupid to understand that your "specification" is just nonsense, as it assumes that you can perform a
    test by "changing" the decider and the input to see a results.

    But the specification is about a particular input and decider.


    the specification for partial_recognizer_D is when encountering
    undecidable input is to utilize FALSE,

    But there is no such thing as an "undecidable input", your definition is just internally inconsistantly trying to define input that the decider
    gets wrong. Since the class the partial decider is



    this _DOES NOT MEAN_ we cannot know what the /undecidable input/ does,
    as a paradox in regards to partial_recognize_D _ONLY AFFECTS_
    partial_recognize_D not _OUR ABILITY TO PROVE OUTCOMES_

    In other words, you admit that you words are just lies and don't mean
    what they say.

    Your "undecidable" isn't about decidability, but correctness of a given decider.

    YES, THAT'S ALL UNDECIDABILITY EVER WAS


    This means that the trivial always false machine meets your

    NO, THE FAILURE TO CLASSIFY MUST COME FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE INPUT,
    NOT AN INCORRECT ALGO OF THE CLASSIFIER, WHY AM I REPEATING ME ON THIS?

    requirements. Any input for which the correct answer for the base
    problem would be true, THAT particular decider won't get right, so it is correct in your expanded partial sense to return false.






    (you don't have one btw, so please do let me witness ur cope)

    IT seesm you just can't read.






    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an /
    incomplete specification/ of machine and therefor _does not even >>>>>>>> exist_ as a real TM, not because of the hypothesized
    undecidability in relation to some D

    It is ONLY "incomplete", because it is built on a PRESUMED
    defined machine. If the decider "D" actually exists, then H is
    FULLY defined.

    turing_D _DOES NOT EXIST_ as it is *also* an /incomplete
    specification/, as it doesn't handle idiosyncrasies of TM
    computing, specifically self- referential set-classification
    paradoxes

    It doesn't need to. It just needs to be built on what you want to
    claim to be your answer for the concept of D.

    As soon as you define what machine you are going to use as your
    equivalent for D, like your partial_recognizer_D, then the template >>>>> turing_H can be converted into an actual machine.




    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we >>>>>>>> can know/ prove what it does. it, however, still forms a

    But, since you admit to actual_turing_H existing, that means that >>>>>>
    since partial_recognizer_D _CAN_ exist, then actual_turing_H _CAN_ >>>>>> exist

    And so can the turing_H that uses partial_recognizer_D as its
    decider D.

    The steps the algorithm does is what defines the machine, not the
    "names" of the things it "calls", as those names don't actually
    exist in the final building of the machine, which is the problem
    with your concept, as that is needed to determine your
    "paradoxical" property.

    the names are just shortcuts for the literal values rick, don't be daft >>>
    Right, but the literal values don't have the names on them, and we
    don't have borders within the machine letting us know we moved from
    "outer code of H" into "the code of the D it uses", especially with
    Turing Machines were such usages are by necessity "expanded" in-line.

    please do actually read turing's paper sometime, he does organize
    machine descriptions into functional groups

    Yes, at meta level.



    Thus, the "copy" of D that was pulled into H isn't actually the same

    no it can be literally a copy of same description than is the run by a
    UTM (universal turing machine) functional group of the machine

    It CAN be, but doesn't NEED to be. And in fact, his H isn't described
    that way.


    thing as the independent machine D that we can talk about, just a
    functional equivalent which doesn't even have its own D.N (since that
    is a property only of full machines)

    ur really pulling at straws here rick

    You really think so?

    It seems your problem is you need to work in a tight cage where other
    ideas are not allowed that show the holes in your ideas.






    pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.



    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will >>>>>>>>> get wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and >>>>>>>>> then THAT machine it will get right. The problem is it creates >>>>>>>>> a DIFFERENT input, that uses this new version of the machine, >>>>>>>>> that it will get wrong.


    WHICH IS FINE, actually

    actual_turing_H ultimately computes the *same* sequence as >>>>>>>>>> fixed_H, which in turn _does_ have a spot on the diagonal. so >>>>>>>>>> there is no actual need to include a digit from
    actual_turing_H on the diagonal, as the number it computes is >>>>>>>>>> already included on the diagonal

    But not as actual_turing_H, which doesn't have your "fix".

    And thus if your partial_recoginzer_D accepts ANY verision of >>>>>>>>> actual_turing_H, your fixed_H will get stuck.

    So, now, you need to show how your partial_recognizer_D can >>>>>>>>> possible filter all ALL of that infinite set of machines, but >>>>>>>>> still accept some machine that computes that particular number >>>>>>>>> that it would compute with this supposedly correct

    So you think, because you don't see it is just built on the >>>>>>>>> fairy dust, of assuming that your partial decider that meets >>>>>>>>> ALL your needs exists,


    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference between >>>>>>>> fixed_H and actual_turing_H is the way they respectively handle >>>>>>>> their own self- references. they function identically when

    But your computation wasn't actually a diagonal of computable
    numbers, but of machines that made computable numbers.

    same thing moron


    Nope, I guess you are just admitting that your logic depends on being
    sloppy.

    the only way to compute a diagonal across computable numbers is
    simulating each number by the machine that computes it.

    Not the ONLY way, but a good way to try.

    But since Turing Shows this can't be done, it can't be done any way.



    Note, Turing SPECIFICALLY pointed out that he was going to the
    related problem, the problem of:

    /but the problem of enumerating computable sequences is equivalent to
    the problem of finding out whether a given number is the D.N of a
    circle- free machine, and we have no general process for doing this
    in a finite number of steps/

    oh wow GREAT CATCH RICK!!!!,

    _THAT'S ANOTHER ERROR IN HIS PROOF_

    *WE CAN ENUMERATE OUT ALL COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES, WITHOUT ENUMERATING
    OUT ALL CIRCLE_FREE MACHINES*,

    Show it.

    what??? bro ur the one who informed me proper enumerations can only have
    *one* instance of each element enumerated,

    and we all know that the total enumeration of machines has infinite
    machines producing each computable numbers...

    so therefore not only can the enumeration of computable numbers be done without enumerating all circle-free machines, it *MUST* be done without enumerating all circle-free machines, as we can output *ONLY* one
    machine for each computable number

    that should suffice


    THe fact that he quote an equivalence that he doesn't prove he doesn't
    make his proof incorrect.


    SO THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER IS
    A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE,

    Prove it.

    there's nothing to prove, the statement is self-evident given the
    previous two paragraphs i wrote. we don't need to be able to output it
    for *ANY* given machine, we only need to be able to output that fact for
    *ONE* machine of the infinite which produces *ANY* given compute number

    honestly i'm not sure why it's take until year 2026 for someone to point
    this out



    we only need to compute that fact for *ONE* machine for any given
    computable sequence, _SO A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE JOB_

    So do it.

    you ask too much for not recognizing anything i said as true



    fuck rick ur so bad at defending this it's actually really useful to me!

    (there's *another* specific sentence i have a problem with, where's a
    ben when u need him?)

    All you have shown so far is that you are too stupid to understand the nature of the paper.

    Note, it was NOT intended to be the end-all self-contained regerous
    proof of the concept. It was a paper, leaning on previous work done, and with the intent of more work to follow to show the basic idea of why something was true.

    Thus, not showing how a step works, isn't an error.

    Now, to counter his claims, because they are so well accepted, you are
    going to need to be rigorous and not based an the fallacy of assuming something and showing that it doesn't lead to a contradiction when you follow a restricted line of reasoining.




    So, HIS enumeration is the complete enumeration of "circle-free
    machines", which your proof admittedly doesn't do.

    lol, turing_H does nothing to de-duplicate the enumeration either, why
    am i the only one subject to criticism here???


    Also, your proof is built on the existance of a Russel Teapot, you
    have

    the *specification* /works/, which shows that it's *not*
    contradiction for it to be computable

    Nope, as it is based on the fallacy of assuming the conclusion. Your
    arguement boils down to showing that *IF* you can correctly determine
    all machines that fit in a not-definable category (since you concept
    of [paradoxical can't actually be defined at the machine level, only
    at how a machine might have been created at a meta-level.


    just ASSUMED you cam make this partial_recoginzser_D that can make
    the precise "mistakes" you need it to. (They are mistakes because
    the input

    "mistake" is this case is a fallacious non-techincal value judgement
    on the return value,

    No, since your criteria that you want to use is just an undefinable
    term for a machine description.

    There is nothing "paradoxical" of the actual machine when created, as
    it then has fixed and determined behavior that can be decided on. The
    thing that is paradoxical is the mete-system pattern used to generate
    the class of machines as pair with a given decider.


    cause they are rather entirely within specification, as FALSE was
    specified to be used upon encountering an /undecidable input/,
    something turing_D did not handle correctly (making it _NOT EXIST_)

    But the input is NOT "undecidable" as the actual input is based on a
    actual D that does make a specific decision to the input. And it is
    just that for any given version of D, we can find a DIFFERENT H that
    it will get wrong (the H that was just built on it).

    Do you want to claim that ALL these H are "undecidable" even though for

    no... fixed_H contains no paradox, and is therefor not /undecidable
    input/ to any classifier

    all of them there does exist a decider that gets the right answer?

    many machines contain no paradox and are therefore classifiable by all
    classifiers


    But this proof isn't about the many, but the ALL.

    A term it seems you don't understand.

    And it isn't the job of others to show you what one you missed, it is
    yours to prove that they don't, as YOU are making the claim.


    It seems you just don't know what the word means, and thus you
    specification is actually just non-sense.


    that come from Turing_H are, in fact, circle_free because of this
    turing_H is built on this partial_recognizdr_D which causes them to >>>>> not hang up on themselves.

    Your "definition" of paradoxical just doesn't apply to machines, as >>>>> it is based on the incorrect definition that assumes a machine can
    be something other than itself, and when it changes, it changes
    other things that at the meta/template level refered to its old self. >>>>
    not sure what ur problem is

    That you just don't know what your words mean, and you just refuse to
    learn.

    Try to actually fully DEFINE the word based on the actual properties
    of the input machine, and not refering to other machines that are not
    part of the input (but would be created as alternate inputs to foil
    an alternate decider).






    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H) itself, >>>>>>>> it will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, because
    partial_recognizer_D fails to classify it as circle-free

    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal of >>>>>>> the circle-free machines.

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_, >>>>>> which is the _ACTUAL PROBLEM_ turing was dealing with,

    No, it isn't, as your "set of computable numbers" has duplicates.

    it's still a diagonal across all computerate numbers even if it has
    dpulicates ...

    No, because an enumeration of a set doesn't HAVE duplicates.

    then the H's as of now are i suppose "generators" instead of  enumerators >>
    and turing was wrong about that too, but i don't see u criticizing him
    now eh???

    H is a generator, its goal was to generate a particual number.

    it's goal was a generate a diagonal across all circle-free machines,

    which as you said: is *NOT* an enumeration, and an enumeration required duplicating the machines


    D is a decider, that allowed H, in its generation, to produce
    (internally) the enumeration that its results were defined by,

    It seems you don't understand that to reach your goal, sometimes you
    have to acheive a sub-goal that is quite different.



    Your probe


    this level of objection is dishonest\

    No, your using misdefined terms is the real dishonesty.

    If you want to show that you can make a diagonal of computable
    numbers, you need to build an actual effective enumeration of
    computable numbers.

    And the problem is you can't assume your decider and then use it.
    That isn't vallid logic.

    but i can show turing was wrong about a series of points, in the most
    influence math paper of last century,


    No, you haven't.

    that's good enough start for me

    Then good for you for accepting that you don't know what you are doing,


    i can do more once i gain some recognition with that

    No, once you get recognition for you stupidity, no one will be
    interested in your work./

    As I have been pointing out, your whole work is based on BAD DEFINITIONS.

    Until you figure out how to actually define (if possible) your concepts,
    you have nothing.



    It IS valid to assume a decider, and show that such an assumption
    leads to a contradiction, to prove that such a decider can not exist.
    That is the valid proof by contradiction.

    If we can show that if A exist, B must be true, and also that B can
    not be true, then we have proven that A can not exist.

    Assuming that A exists, and showing that one line of reasoning based
    on it doesn't lead to a contradiction, does NOT show that A does (or
    even can) exist. That is just fallacious logic.




    doing so doesn't require /all/ or _even most_ machines to be in
    the enumeration, since _most_ are duplicates of some other machine




    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(fixed_H),
    partial_recognizer_D *successfully* classifies fixed_H as
    satisfactory, so it will simulate fixed_H to it's Kth digit, the >>>>>>>> one hard-coded into fixed_H

    both skip simulating actual_turing_H (which would be circular >>>>>>>> logic in either case), fixed_H also skips simulating itself
    (also circular logic), while actual_turing_H actually *does*
    simulate fixed_H successfully for it's Kth digit on the
    diagonal. these machines compute the *same* number/sequence!

    Except that by your partial_recognizer being just partial, it has >>>>>>> dropped required items from the enumeration.

    _WHICH IS FINE_

    So, you admit it failed???

    ACTUAL_TURING_H IS _NOT_ REQUIRED TO BE ON THE DIAGONAL, SO IT'S
    FINE TO BE DROPPED

    If the diagonal is the diagonal of circle-free machines, it is required. >>>
    Your problem is you keep on working with strawmen.

    If the diagonal is of computable numbers, you need to show how you
    trim down the set to not have repeats (in finite time per element)
    and that your decider actually exists, you can't just assume it.



    As I said, it dropped REQUIRED items, as this enumeration was of
    machines that computed computable numbers.

    If you try to add removal of duplicates, then we need to define the >>>>> order, and if we do it by number, turing_H will likely be lower in
    order, as it doesn't need to generate its own number, and thus is
    simpler,

    that sentence is nonsense until u actually produce psuedo-code

    I did, just make my H call your "D" replacement, partial_recognizer_D.

    Or, is your problem that you think an enumeration doesn't define an
    "order"





    THis is becides the fact that you still need to show how you plan >>>>>>> on actually detecting all these computationally equivalent
    machines in your

    fixed_H does not compute a minimum turing-complete set, there are >>>>>> duplicated sequences, ei machines that compute the same sequence/ >>>>>> number, and _THAT IS FINE_

    Why?

    BECAUSE AN ENUMERATION THAT INCLUDES ONE OR MORE INSTANCE FOR EACH
    COMPUTABLE NUMBER STILL ENUMERATES *ALL* COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    Nope. Maybe you don't understand what an enumeration.

    And enumeration is a one-to-one mapping between the elements and the
    Natural Numbers.

    By your definition, you can make a countable infinite enumeation of a
    finite set, showing that the finite set is infinite.



    And, it was built on the assumption of the existance of a machine,
    that actually can not exist (based on Rice's Theorm) and thus is
    actually based on the assumption of Unicorns.

    partial_recognizer_D is *not* a total decider, so how could rice's
    theorum apply???

    But it *IS* a total decider on your "paradoxical" property.

    It can't let ANY of them through, and it must not omit any of the
    ones you need.




    partial decider to force them to not be classified as circle-
    free, even though it turns out that they are (because your
    decider called them not).

    You don't seem to understand that you don't get to look at the
    template used to build the machine, only the resultant machine
    from that template.

    And, part of the result of that, is that your attempt to try to >>>>>>> define "paradoxical" just fails, as it resolves to just input
    your decider is wrong about, in part, because you don't
    understand what "decidable" actually means,


    see, not only is defining a value in fixed_H that the diagonal >>>>>>>> computation can put for itself in diagonal essential in making >>>>>>>> the diagonal actually computable, so is partial_recognizer_D
    skipping over actual_turing_H to avoid the computability paradox! >>>>>>>
    In other words, you think it ok to compute the WRONG diagonal.

    The needed diagonal was to a COMPLETE enumeration of the circle- >>>>>>> free machine.

    NO, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY A COMPLETE ENUMERATION OF _COMPUTABLE
    NUMBERS/ SEQUENCES_

    Which you don't get.

    smh



    there is *no* requirement to include a sequence _more than once_, >>>>>> so there *no* requirement to include all machines in the enumeration! >>>>>
    But there is to show that your partial_recognizer_D can exist, when >>>>> it can't.

    YOU'VE LOST THE STANDARD PROOF IT DOESN'T EXIST,

    But YOUR proof doesn't either, so the standard proof does exist.


    WHAT NEW ARGUMENT WOULD THERE BE???


    Don't need a NEW argument, as your LIES are just proven to be invalid.



    YOU need to prove your "Russel's Teapot" exists.

    Your logic just shows that you don't know how to do logic.



    That isn't really different then claiming you can prove that
    every even number grater than 2 from an infinite set of natural >>>>>>> numbers is the sum of two primes, make you enumeration just the >>>>>>> set of prime numbers, and thus claim that since the only even
    number is 2, it is trivially solved.

    _FALSE ANALOGY FALLACY_

    What is false about it?

    THE SUBSET IDENTIFIED BY PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D IS NOT "LESS POWERFUL"
    THAN THE TOTAL MACHINE SPACE

    Sure it is, as it doesn't make the full space.




    if the set i'm enumerating includes _AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE_ of
    _ALL COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES_

    But does it?

    YES

    How are you sure.

    You have an admittedly PARTIAL recognizer.

    How do you know that it accepts at least one instance of a machie for
    every computable number.

    How does your partial decider distinguish between turing's H and your
    fixed H?




    then it is a turing-complete subset including all possible TM
    computable sequences, and is functionally equivalent to the set of >>>>>> *all* TMs

    But, since your partial_recognizer_D doesn't exist, but was only
    assumed to exist, your program doesn't exist,




    ultimately, in order to compute a diagonal across computable
    numbers, partial_recognizer_D only needs to successfully
    classify *one* of the _infinitely_ many machines that compute >>>>>>>> any given computable number...

    But it isn't the diagonal across some set of computable numbers, >>>>>>> but the diagonal across the ENTIRE set of computable numbers.

    Since you dropped some machines, you don't have the needed set.

    _*THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOW*_

    Then try to define what set you are actually making!!

    A SET THAT CONTAINS INFINITE INSTANCES OF ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS

    Which isn't a set.

    Boy are you stupid.

    Sets contain no duplicates.


    The problem is your definition of "paradoxical" doesn't actually
    work, as it is based on asking about the results of an input, that
    changes.


    dropping actual_turing_H from the set, for example, is _FINE_
    because it computes _THE SAME SEQUENCE_ as fixed_H, which _IS IN
    THE SET_ ...

    How do you know it includes your fixed_H in the set?

    what part of the actual machine makes it different?

    THE CODE OF FIXED_H AND ACTUAL_TURING_H IS IN THE THREAD, WHAT ARE
    YOU TALKING ABOUT???

    WHich aren't full machines, not until you include the code of
    partial_recognizer_D,

    And, when you define it, how is Actual_turing_H "undecidable", since
    decider exist that decide what it will do.



    Remember, in the final machine given as the input, there are not

    READ TURING'S PAPER ACTUALLY TO SEE HOW A SUBSET OF TRANSITION
    FUNCTIONS WITHIN A TURING MACHINE CAN BE LABELED AND REFERRED TO

    Yes, and HE Defined what is subset was.

    You haven't, as you have a criteria that is just nonsense, as it is
    basded on the input changing when you look at a different decider
    looking at it.


    seperate turing_H and partial_recognizer_D denoted in the machine,
    just one big piece of algorithm. Thus nothing to base your criteria >>>>> on.




    shit rick, idk how ur still denying what's right under ur nose, >>>>>>>

    goddamn rick smh u could spot a diamond in the rough even if god

    But the problem is that "your diamond" is actually just a big load

    ur so used to playing contrarian u don't know what truth even looks

    Nope. But you live so much in your stupidity, that you think your

    (someone make a diamond hands emoji eh???)





    YOUR H still needs to know if Turing's H is a machine that >>>>>>>>>>>>>> generates a computable number to build the list of such >>>>>>>>>>>>>> machine to define the diagonal to compute.

    TURING'S H DOESN'T EXIST. TURING'S D DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. >>>>>>>>>>>>> BOTH ARE INCOMPLETE INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS.>
    THE FIXED H DIAGONAL WOULD USE A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER D, >>>>>>>>>>>>> WHICH WILL WORK JUST FINE ON THE ENUMERATION THAT HAS / >>>>>>>>>>>>> UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ TO D FILTERED FROM IT


    You seem to not understand the meaning of ALL.

    ALL COMPUTABLE NUMBERS =/= ALL MACHINES THAT COMPUTE >>>>>>>>>>>>> COMPUTABLE NUMBERS




    It doesn't matter that your new H doesn't get stuck on >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> itself, it will still error on Turing's H.

    turing's H, as it stands, doesn't even exist my dude. he >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> doesn't specify what D (or H) needs to do when
    encountering the / undecidable input/ of H, so therefore >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> both D and H are an incomplete specifications of a machine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Because "undecidability" doesn't affect the correct answer >>>>>>>>>>>>>> it must compute.

    THE SPACE OF TMs MACHINE IS NOT A PERFECT COMPUTATIONAL >>>>>>>>>>>>> SPACE LIKE THEORY KEEPS CONFLATING IT WITH, IT HAS CERTAIN >>>>>>>>>>>>> IDIOSYNCRASIES, AND IT CANNOT COMPUTE EVERYTHING THAT IS >>>>>>>>>>>>> COMPUTABLE

    THE DECIDER THAT TURING HYPOTHESIZED _DOES NOT EXIST_, >>>>>>>>>>>>> BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HANDLE THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF SELF- >>>>>>>>>>>>> REFERENTIAL ANALYSIS, SO IT IS AN /INCOMPLETE
    SPECIFICATION/ OF A TM

    THAT IS THE *ACTUAL* REASON IT DOES NOT EXIST.


    Note, H, when it becomes an actual machine, because we >>>>>>>>>>>>>> have created an actual machine we claim to be the D, has >>>>>>>>>>>>>> an answer, and that D is always wrong.

    Thus, it isn't that machines claiming to be D and H can't >>>>>>>>>>>>>> exist, only machines CORRECTLY meeting the requirements of >>>>>>>>>>>>>> D and H can't exist.

    Thus, if your H depends on that D, (or a machine that >>>>>>>>>>>>>> meets its specification) then it also can't exist. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    You just make the error of saying the problems don't exist >>>>>>>>>>>>>> because you can't build them, but YOUR machine can, even >>>>>>>>>>>>>> though it has the same problem.



    IF D is wrong by deciding it is not circle free, then >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> your H will compute the wrong diagonal, as the resulting >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> version of his H WILL be circle free (since it never >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> tries to simulate itself) and thus DOES produce an >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> computable number that your computation misses. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Or, if that D is wrong by decing it IS circle free, then >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> when you H tries to process it, it will get stuck in the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> infinite loop.

    The problem is that in stepping through the machines in >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> order, you WILL hit these actual machines built on your >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> erroneous D (your D must have this flaw, as no D without >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> exists), and thus you will be wrong on THAT input. IT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> doesn't matter if you get a good answer for yourself. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    idk what he would have said about it, but prolly >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> something more substantial than just calling me >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ignorant repeatedly

    I doubt it.

    He likely would have gotten frustrated by your idiodic >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> assertion of bad logic. You would have likely been >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> escorted out of the meeting as showing you were >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> unqualified and being a distraction.



    Something that seems to be beyond your ignorant >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> understanding.



    H shows that *IF* you can make that enumeration, you >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> can make the diagonal, and thus the anti-diagonal. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The problem is you can't make that enumeration, and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> assuming you can just shows unsoundness. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    interestingly: one can only fix the direct diagonal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> computation like this

    u can't do an analogous fix for the inverse/anti- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> diagonal computation. it's not possible hard code a >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> machine to return an inverted value, a machine can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> only return what it does, not the inverse of what it >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> does...

    so if we can filter out paradoxes from the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> enumeration, that will leave a direct diagonal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> computation extant in that filtered (yet still turing >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> complete list), while any attempt to compute an >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> inverse diagonal will not be

    But the problem is that "paradoxical machines" don't >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> exist in isolation, but only in relationship to a >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> given machine trying to decide them.

    right. so if ur constructing a diagonal across >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> computable numbers then u only need to filter out >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> paradoxes in regards to the classifier that classifies >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> them as a "satisfactory" number

    Right, which he shows can not be done.

    please do quote where turing shows we can't filter out >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> such paradoxes...

    In other words, you beleive unquestionably in the >>>>>>>>>>>>>> existance of Russle's teapot until someone can prove it >>>>>>>>>>>>>> doesn't exist.

    WHY ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT RUSSEL'S TEAPOT INSTEAD OF >>>>>>>>>>>>> PROVIDING A FUCKING QUOTE TO TURING'S PAPER TO BACK THE >>>>>>>>>>>>> *DIRECT* CLAIM YOU MADE???


    For THIS paradox, read the proof. for THIS H, the one >>>>>>>>>>>>>> given, (for which ever version of D you want to try to >>>>>>>>>>>>>> assume is right) D is just wrong.

    Thus, it doesn't matter if D can somehow "detect" the >>>>>>>>>>>>>> paradox, because there still isn't an answer it can give >>>>>>>>>>>>>> to H that will be correct, as the template for H will >>>>>>>>>>>>>> always make that D wrong.

    Note, the problem is you can't actually DEFINE what a >>>>>>>>>>>>>> "paradox machine" is, as they aren't actually machines, >>>>>>>>>>>>>> but templates that build machines.

    any machine which *is not* "satisfactory" OR *is not* >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> classifiable as satisfactory by said classifier... can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> just be skipped

    No, it can only skip those that are not satisfactory, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> not those that are but it can not classify as such, or >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> your enumeration will not be complete, and thus just in >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> error.

    Thus, it needs to be able to correctly classify ALL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> machines (as it will be asked about all machines as it >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> counts through all the descriptions) and thus Turing's H >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *WILL* be asked about.


    similarly if u want to go a step further an filter out >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> computable numbers already included on this diagonal, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any machine which either *is* computably equivalent OR >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *is not* classifiable in regards to *any* machine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> already the list... can just be skipped

    Nope, you can't skip some machines, as you then might >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> lose some of the computable numbers.


    see you can't compute a diagonal across *all* / >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> machines/, with said machines, but u can compute a >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> diagonal across *all* / computable numbers/

    Nope,

    Since the enumeration of ALL Computable numbers can't be >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> done, since ALL classifiers that attempt it will make an >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> error, you can't do what you want to do.

    nah, (a) computing an enumeration of all /computable >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> numbers/ is not the same thing as (b) computing the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> enumeration of all machines that compute computable >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> numbers. (b) necessarily has duplicates while (a) does >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> not need them. turing's paper wrongly conflates (a) with (b) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    i'm pretty sure (a) can be done with TMs

    Nope, as your (a) needs the machine D, which lets you >>>>>>>>>>>>>> filter the full list of machibe, which Turing showed can't >>>>>>>>>>>>>> exist.

    The problem is such a machine can't handle the

    (b) probably can't be done with TMs

    But if you can do (a), you can do (b).  You just need to >>>>>>>>>>>>>> take the code of (a), and invert the symbol put on the >>>>>>>>>>>>>> tape when it is written. Note, it won't be "self- >>>>>>>>>>>>>> referent", as the "N" is uses, is the N of YOUR H, not >>>>>>>>>>>>>> itself.

    yes, i still do need to prove my thesis that for any >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> paradoxical machine, there exists a functionally >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> equivalent machine without such paradox

    And the problem is that your "paradoxical" isn't >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> actually a definable property (let alone computable). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Part of the problem is that if you look at just a >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> machine description, it doesn't (necessarily) tell you >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> about the use of an "interface" as that use of an >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> interface can be just inlined, leaving nothing "in the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> code" to show it exists.

    for example if take our basic halting paradox:

    here if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE, then the if >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> case run a halting paradox form making it /undecidable >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> input/ to halts().

    however, if paradox_free(halts,undp) -> TRUE, then that >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> if case doesn't run and clearly halts(undp) -> TRUE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> without issues

    BUT THAT'S FINE FOR OUR USE CASE, no paradox found within >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a machine is necessary for the particular input->output >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> computation being done, so utilizing the return >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> paradox_free(halts,undp) -> FALSE to filter out >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> paradox_free() paradoxes as well as halts() paradoxes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> will suffice to produce a turing complete subset of >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> machines that can be totally classified by halts() >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    well since

    this is unfortunately a fallacious understanding of

    In other words, you don't understand what "undecidability"
    actually is.

    Undecidability, means that there does not exist ANY decider that >>>>>>>> can get the right answer for all instances of the problem, (or >>>>>>>> if the problem has been reduced to just that one input, for that >>>>>>>> input).

    *not* as a general inability to describe a *real* machine's >>>>>>>>> behavior that u are trying to treat it as,

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    But it DOES exist if you have a machine you claim to be a D.


    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    The one that calls your partial_recoginzer_D as its D.

    except we can describe the behavior of actual_turing_H and prove
    it's equivalent to fixed_H, so therefore it doesn't fit what u
    stated was

       > But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    Undecidability as a property of a PROBLEM, not an "input" or a
    machine, unless you are narrowing the problem to just being about
    that one machine/input.

    because it *only* ever *was* about problematic input to *particular*
    classifiers...


    Except that isn't what "Undecidability" is about. And you are just
    proving you don't know what you are talking about.

    If we use the correct term, what you are tying to call "undeciability"
    is really just not being correct. The problem is a "particualar
    classifier" has a fixed set of how it classifies everything. And thus,
    nothing can be "paradoxical" to it, as we never get to the other side,

    RICK I'M NEVER GOING TO FIGURE YOU FOR BEING AN UNDYING ASSHOLE, EXCEPT MAYBE ONCE U FINALLY TAKE UR IGNORANCE TO THE GRAVE

    Right, because logic that is based on error can't unddrstand logic that requires correctness.



    The other side you talk about is about if this decider was a different
    decider, and some how magically the input was also a different input
    converted by a method not "in system" but only in a meta-system.

    it's not my problem everyone went for over a century confusing *our*
    ability to prove outcomes, with what a /particular/ decider can
    output... ya'll got caught up in a rigor of what is fundamentally
    nonsense

    Because what a particual decider does, if it isnt' right, is just not
    interesting,


    no one has demonstrated a *possible* machine, let alone a *real*
    machine, which we can't provably can't prove the outcome for... such
    a proof makes the machine _NEITHER POSSIBLE NOR REAL_ so it would be
    ludicrous to present such a proof to exist

    Only sort of right. Yes, we can not produce a machine that we know we
    can not possibly ever decide if it halts or not, because such a
    machine must by definition be non-halting, since ALL halting machines
    are provable halting by just running them. Thus, to prove we can't
    know they halt, we need to prove they don't halt, but then we know
    their behavior.

    The fact we can't demonstrate and example of that class, doesn't mean
    members of it can't exist.

    FUCK UR DAMN TEAPOT RICK


    In other words, you are admitting I am right and need to resort to the
    fallacy of swearing to distract others from that basic fact.





    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and
    therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_

    So? What that proves is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually acheive the
    goal defined for turing_D, a machine that determines if a given
    machine is circle-free.


    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and _NOTHING
    MORE_, and _DESERVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION_ beyond the recognition
    that such an interface _IS INCOMPLETE_

    No, it prove that the interface is uncomputable, and no such machine
    exists.

    BECAUSE IT'S INCOMPLETE. AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ THAT DOES NOT
    HANDLE ALL INPUT SITUATIONS CANNOT EXIST

    The Specification of the INTERFACE is complete, it fully defines what
    the given machine must do.

    The Specification of the interface is uncomputable, or unrealizable,
    because we can't make a machine that fullfills it.

    Yes, the specification of the ALGORITHM is incomplete, as we don't
    specify how to do all the steps, but then so is yours.

    Turing, BECAUSE he used an unspecified algorithm for his D, was able to actually PROVE that the specification for the interface of D was unimplementable.

    All your arguement has done is shown that if magic fairy dust powered
    unicorns exists (which they don't), you could use one of them to built
    an (also non-existant) program to compute something that is actually
    proven to be uncomputable.

    All you have done is proven you don't understand how logic works, and
    thus your works SHOULD BE IGNORED.



    If you want to be consistant, YOUR partial_decider_D is ALSO incomplete,

    IT'S NOT INCOMPLETE AS IT HANDLES ALL INPUT SITUATIONS

    That isn't what "Incomplete", means, as your partial_decider_D doesn't
    exist so it can't handle ANY input situations.

    You don't get it, that if you want to put down Turing's machines for not handling cases, you need to also accept that yours doesn't for the same reason, a machine that fully meets your specifaction can't exist.

    And part of the reason for yours, is that you have a nonsense term in
    your definition, as there is no such thing as a "undecidable input" if
    some other decider can get the known right answer.

    Part of your problem is you just don't understand what a PROGRAM or
    ALGORITHM actually is


    as you haven't specified HOW it does what it does, just lie turing
    didn't define how his D was to do its work.

    Your problem is that Turing's goal was to prove that no such machine
    could exist, which he succeeded at, but YOUR claim is that such a
    thing might be able to exist, which you just have not proven.



    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute the
    answer to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, which means
    you have chosen a particular (broken) implementation of D (since no
    actually correct D exists), like your partial_recognizer_D, has
    fulled defined behavior, and a decider can exist that determines it,
    there is nothing "undecidable" about that input.

    It is just that the D that H was built on is wrong. Nothing
    "paradoxical" about a machine being wrong.

    again, wrong is a _NON-TECHNICAL VALUE ASSESSMENT_ based on you just
    _IGNORING_ the specification i specifically created for
    partial_recognizer_D...

    No, your problem is you just are too stupid to understand that your
    "specification" is just nonsense, as it assumes that you can perform a
    test by "changing" the decider and the input to see a results.

    But the specification is about a particular input and decider.


    the specification for partial_recognizer_D is when encountering
    undecidable input is to utilize FALSE,

    But there is no such thing as an "undecidable input", your definition
    is just internally inconsistantly trying to define input that the
    decider gets wrong. Since the class the partial decider is



    this _DOES NOT MEAN_ we cannot know what the /undecidable input/
    does, as a paradox in regards to partial_recognize_D _ONLY AFFECTS_
    partial_recognize_D not _OUR ABILITY TO PROVE OUTCOMES_

    In other words, you admit that you words are just lies and don't mean
    what they say.

    Your "undecidable" isn't about decidability, but correctness of a
    given decider.

    YES, THAT'S ALL UNDECIDABILITY EVER WAS

    In other words you are admitting you don't know what you are talking about.

    A given decider being incorrect doesn't mean a correct decider doesn't
    exist. There are many decidable problems, for which incorrect deciders
    can exist.

    Undecidability is about the being NO correct deciders.



    This means that the trivial always false machine meets your

    NO, THE FAILURE TO CLASSIFY MUST COME FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE INPUT,
    NOT AN INCORRECT ALGO OF THE CLASSIFIER, WHY AM I REPEATING ME ON THIS?

    In other words, you think people/machines can't make mistakes?

    Then why are you worried about proofs of correctness.

    You don't seem to understand that the whole basis of these proofs isn't
    about finding *A* input that nothing can decide on, but finding a
    pattern that makes an input for a given decider that it won't be able to handle.

    That pattern isn't actually something that necessarily remains in the
    machine after construction, but direction to find a given algorithms
    fatal flaw, showing that ALL algorithms for that problem must have a
    fatal flaw which can be different for every one.


    requirements. Any input for which the correct answer for the base
    problem would be true, THAT particular decider won't get right, so it
    is correct in your expanded partial sense to return false.






    (you don't have one btw, so please do let me witness ur cope)

    IT seesm you just can't read.






    see, turing_H's runtime is not describable because it's an / >>>>>>>>> incomplete specification/ of machine and therefor _does not >>>>>>>>> even exist_ as a real TM, not because of the hypothesized
    undecidability in relation to some D

    It is ONLY "incomplete", because it is built on a PRESUMED
    defined machine. If the decider "D" actually exists, then H is >>>>>>>> FULLY defined.

    turing_D _DOES NOT EXIST_ as it is *also* an /incomplete
    specification/, as it doesn't handle idiosyncrasies of TM
    computing, specifically self- referential set-classification
    paradoxes

    It doesn't need to. It just needs to be built on what you want to >>>>>> claim to be your answer for the concept of D.

    As soon as you define what machine you are going to use as your
    equivalent for D, like your partial_recognizer_D, then the
    template turing_H can be converted into an actual machine.




    actual_turing_H, on the other hand, actually does exist, so we >>>>>>>>> can know/ prove what it does. it, however, still forms a

    But, since you admit to actual_turing_H existing, that means that >>>>>>>
    since partial_recognizer_D _CAN_ exist, then actual_turing_H

    And so can the turing_H that uses partial_recognizer_D as its
    decider D.

    The steps the algorithm does is what defines the machine, not the >>>>>> "names" of the things it "calls", as those names don't actually
    exist in the final building of the machine, which is the problem
    with your concept, as that is needed to determine your
    "paradoxical" property.

    the names are just shortcuts for the literal values rick, don't be
    daft

    Right, but the literal values don't have the names on them, and we
    don't have borders within the machine letting us know we moved from
    "outer code of H" into "the code of the D it uses", especially with
    Turing Machines were such usages are by necessity "expanded" in-line.

    please do actually read turing's paper sometime, he does organize
    machine descriptions into functional groups

    Yes, at meta level.



    Thus, the "copy" of D that was pulled into H isn't actually the same

    no it can be literally a copy of same description than is the run by
    a UTM (universal turing machine) functional group of the machine

    It CAN be, but doesn't NEED to be. And in fact, his H isn't described
    that way.


    thing as the independent machine D that we can talk about, just a
    functional equivalent which doesn't even have its own D.N (since
    that is a property only of full machines)

    ur really pulling at straws here rick

    You really think so?

    It seems your problem is you need to work in a tight cage where other
    ideas are not allowed that show the holes in your ideas.






    pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.



    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will >>>>>>>>>> get wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and >>>>>>>>>> then THAT machine it will get right.

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference

    But actual_turing_H is actually circle_free, and thus its

    it computes _THE SAME NUMBER_ as fixed_H, so if fixed_H is put on >>>>>>> the diagonal, then actual_turing_H _DOES NOT_ need to be in
    _THAT_ total enumeration of _COMPUTABLE NUMBERS_

    But your computation wasn't actually a diagonal of computable
    numbers, but of machines that made computable numbers.

    same thing moron


    Nope, I guess you are just admitting that your logic depends on
    being sloppy.

    the only way to compute a diagonal across computable numbers is
    simulating each number by the machine that computes it.

    Not the ONLY way, but a good way to try.

    But since Turing Shows this can't be done, it can't be done any way.



    Note, Turing SPECIFICALLY pointed out that he was going to the
    related problem, the problem of:

    /but the problem of enumerating computable sequences is equivalent
    to the problem of finding out whether a given number is the D.N of a
    circle- free machine, and we have no general process for doing this
    in a finite number of steps/

    oh wow GREAT CATCH RICK!!!!,

    _THAT'S ANOTHER ERROR IN HIS PROOF_

    *WE CAN ENUMERATE OUT ALL COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES, WITHOUT
    ENUMERATING OUT ALL CIRCLE_FREE MACHINES*,

    Show it.

    what??? bro ur the one who informed me proper enumerations can only have *one* instance of each element enumerated,

    and we all know that the total enumeration of machines has infinite
    machines producing each computable numbers...

    so therefore not only can the enumeration of computable numbers be done without enumerating all circle-free machines, it *MUST* be done without enumerating all circle-free machines, as we can output *ONLY* one
    machine for each computable number

    that should suffice

    In other words, you are admitting you can't do it.

    There is no inherent reason you can pull an infinite subset out of a
    similarly infinite set.

    We can enumerate the primes, even though for every prime there is an
    infinite number of composite numbers that are multiples of it, thus your
    logic is based on an error.



    THe fact that he quote an equivalence that he doesn't prove he doesn't
    make his proof incorrect.


    SO THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER
    IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE,

    Prove it.

    there's nothing to prove, the statement is self-evident given the
    previous two paragraphs i wrote. we don't need to be able to output it
    for *ANY* given machine, we only need to be able to output that fact for *ONE* machine of the infinite which produces *ANY* given compute number

    honestly i'm not sure why it's take until year 2026 for someone to point this out


    In other words, you are just admitting that you understanding of the
    problem isn't sufficent to deal with it.

    Your problem is you are working on "gut instinct" with a gut that
    doesn't understand what it is talking about, because it thinks unicorns
    exist.




    we only need to compute that fact for *ONE* machine for any given
    computable sequence, _SO A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE JOB_

    So do it.

    you ask too much for not recognizing anything i said as true

    Because it isn't, and you have no proofs, because you can't actually
    prove a false statement.

    Part of your problem is you don't actually know much about what you are talking, so you have nothing to work with,




    fuck rick ur so bad at defending this it's actually really useful to me! >>>
    (there's *another* specific sentence i have a problem with, where's a
    ben when u need him?)

    All you have shown so far is that you are too stupid to understand the
    nature of the paper.

    Note, it was NOT intended to be the end-all self-contained regerous
    proof of the concept. It was a paper, leaning on previous work done,
    and with the intent of more work to follow to show the basic idea of
    why something was true.

    Thus, not showing how a step works, isn't an error.

    Now, to counter his claims, because they are so well accepted, you are
    going to need to be rigorous and not based an the fallacy of assuming
    something and showing that it doesn't lead to a contradiction when you
    follow a restricted line of reasoining.




    So, HIS enumeration is the complete enumeration of "circle-free
    machines", which your proof admittedly doesn't do.

    lol, turing_H does nothing to de-duplicate the enumeration either,
    why am i the only one subject to criticism here???


    Also, your proof is built on the existance of a Russel Teapot, you >>>>>> have

    the *specification* /works/, which shows that it's *not*
    contradiction for it to be computable

    Nope, as it is based on the fallacy of assuming the conclusion. Your
    arguement boils down to showing that *IF* you can correctly
    determine all machines that fit in a not-definable category (since
    you concept of [paradoxical can't actually be defined at the machine
    level, only at how a machine might have been created at a meta-level.


    just ASSUMED you cam make this partial_recoginzser_D that can make >>>>>> the precise "mistakes" you need it to. (They are mistakes because >>>>>> the input

    "mistake" is this case is a fallacious non-techincal value
    judgement on the return value,

    No, since your criteria that you want to use is just an undefinable
    term for a machine description.

    There is nothing "paradoxical" of the actual machine when created,
    as it then has fixed and determined behavior that can be decided on.
    The thing that is paradoxical is the mete-system pattern used to
    generate the class of machines as pair with a given decider.


    cause they are rather entirely within specification, as FALSE was
    specified to be used upon encountering an /undecidable input/,
    something turing_D did not handle correctly (making it _NOT EXIST_)

    But the input is NOT "undecidable" as the actual input is based on a
    actual D that does make a specific decision to the input. And it is
    just that for any given version of D, we can find a DIFFERENT H that
    it will get wrong (the H that was just built on it).

    Do you want to claim that ALL these H are "undecidable" even though for >>>
    no... fixed_H contains no paradox, and is therefor not /undecidable
    input/ to any classifier

    all of them there does exist a decider that gets the right answer?

    many machines contain no paradox and are therefore classifiable by
    all classifiers


    But this proof isn't about the many, but the ALL.

    A term it seems you don't understand.

    And it isn't the job of others to show you what one you missed, it is
    yours to prove that they don't, as YOU are making the claim.


    It seems you just don't know what the word means, and thus you
    specification is actually just non-sense.


    that come from Turing_H are, in fact, circle_free because of this >>>>>> turing_H is built on this partial_recognizdr_D which causes them
    to not hang up on themselves.

    Your "definition" of paradoxical just doesn't apply to machines,
    as it is based on the incorrect definition that assumes a machine >>>>>> can be something other than itself, and when it changes, it
    changes other things that at the meta/template level refered to
    its old self.

    not sure what ur problem is

    That you just don't know what your words mean, and you just refuse
    to learn.

    Try to actually fully DEFINE the word based on the actual properties
    of the input machine, and not refering to other machines that are
    not part of the input (but would be created as alternate inputs to
    foil an alternate decider).






    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H)
    itself, it will similarly skip trying to simulate itself,
    because partial_recognizer_D fails to classify it as circle-free >>>>>>>>
    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal of >>>>>>>> the circle-free machines.

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE
    NUMBERS_, which is the _ACTUAL PROBLEM_ turing was dealing with,

    No, it isn't, as your "set of computable numbers" has duplicates.

    it's still a diagonal across all computerate numbers even if it has >>>>> dpulicates ...

    No, because an enumeration of a set doesn't HAVE duplicates.

    then the H's as of now are i suppose "generators" instead of
    enumerators

    and turing was wrong about that too, but i don't see u criticizing
    him now eh???

    H is a generator, its goal was to generate a particual number.

    it's goal was a generate a diagonal across all circle-free machines,

    which as you said: is *NOT* an enumeration, and an enumeration required duplicating the machines

    Right, but the result it is generating is BASED (and defined) on a given enumeration which it computes internally).

    Your Fixed_H isn't computing anything with a defined specification, as
    your "enumeration" that you claim to be based on, isn't actually an enumeration that meets your claimed requirement.



    D is a decider, that allowed H, in its generation, to produce
    (internally) the enumeration that its results were defined by,

    It seems you don't understand that to reach your goal, sometimes you
    have to acheive a sub-goal that is quite different.

    well since

    In other words, you don't understand what "undecidability"
    actually is.

    Undecidability, means that there does not exist ANY decider >>>>>>>>> that can get the right answer for all instances of the problem, >>>>>>>>> (or if the problem has been reduced to just that one input, for >>>>>>>>> that input).

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    But it DOES exist if you have a machine you claim to be a D.


    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    The one that calls your partial_recoginzer_D as its D.

    except we can describe the behavior of actual_turing_H and prove
    it's equivalent to fixed_H, so therefore it doesn't fit what u
    stated was

       > But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    Undecidability as a property of a PROBLEM, not an "input" or a
    machine, unless you are narrowing the problem to just being about
    that one machine/input.

    because it *only* ever *was* about problematic input to *particular*
    classifiers...


    Except that isn't what "Undecidability" is about. And you are just
    proving you don't know what you are talking about.

    If we use the correct term, what you are tying to call
    "undeciability" is really just not being correct. The problem is a
    "particualar classifier" has a fixed set of how it classifies
    everything. And thus, nothing can be "paradoxical" to it, as we never
    get to the other side,

    RICK I'M NEVER GOING TO FIGURE YOU FOR BEING AN UNDYING ASSHOLE,
    EXCEPT MAYBE ONCE U FINALLY TAKE UR IGNORANCE TO THE GRAVE

    Right, because logic that is based on error can't unddrstand logic that requires correctness.



    The other side you talk about is about if this decider was a
    different decider, and some how magically the input was also a
    different input converted by a method not "in system" but only in a
    meta-system.

    it's not my problem everyone went for over a century confusing *our*
    ability to prove outcomes, with what a /particular/ decider can
    output... ya'll got caught up in a rigor of what is fundamentally
    nonsense

    Because what a particual decider does, if it isnt' right, is just not
    interesting,


    no one has demonstrated a *possible* machine, let alone a *real*
    machine, which we can't provably can't prove the outcome for... such
    a proof makes the machine _NEITHER POSSIBLE NOR REAL_ so it would be
    ludicrous to present such a proof to exist

    Only sort of right. Yes, we can not produce a machine that we know we
    can not possibly ever decide if it halts or not, because such a
    machine must by definition be non-halting, since ALL halting machines
    are provable halting by just running them. Thus, to prove we can't
    know they halt, we need to prove they don't halt, but then we know
    their behavior.

    The fact we can't demonstrate and example of that class, doesn't mean
    members of it can't exist.

    FUCK UR DAMN TEAPOT RICK


    In other words, you are admitting I am right and need to resort to the fallacy of swearing to distract others from that basic fact.

    i don't have a response anymore to the level of stupidity required to
    keep bleating on and on about being so certain of machines it would be a contradiction to even produce an example of...





    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and
    therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_

    So? What that proves is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually acheive the
    goal defined for turing_D, a machine that determines if a given
    machine is circle-free.


    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and _NOTHING
    MORE_, and _DESERVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION_ beyond the recognition
    that such an interface _IS INCOMPLETE_

    No, it prove that the interface is uncomputable, and no such machine
    exists.

    BECAUSE IT'S INCOMPLETE. AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ THAT DOES NOT
    HANDLE ALL INPUT SITUATIONS CANNOT EXIST

    The Specification of the INTERFACE is complete, it fully defines what
    the given machine must do.

    imagine trying to argue a machine that can't exist, because it didn't
    handle all input situations, as "complete"


    The Specification of the interface is uncomputable, or unrealizable,
    because we can't make a machine that fullfills it.

    Yes, the specification of the ALGORITHM is incomplete, as we don't
    specify how to do all the steps, but then so is yours.

    Turing, BECAUSE he used an unspecified algorithm for his D, was able to actually PROVE that the specification for the interface of D was unimplementable.

    All your arguement has done is shown that if magic fairy dust powered unicorns exists (which they don't), you could use one of them to built
    an (also non-existant) program to compute something that is actually
    proven to be uncomputable.

    All you have done is proven you don't understand how logic works, and
    thus your works SHOULD BE IGNORED.



    If you want to be consistant, YOUR partial_decider_D is ALSO incomplete, >>
    IT'S NOT INCOMPLETE AS IT HANDLES ALL INPUT SITUATIONS

    That isn't what "Incomplete", means, as your partial_decider_D doesn't
    exist so it can't handle ANY input situations.

    YOU HAVEN'T DEMONSTRATED A CONTRADICTION WITH PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D, SO
    YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN IT TO NOT EXIST...


    You don't get it, that if you want to put down Turing's machines for not handling cases, you need to also accept that yours doesn't for the same reason, a machine that fully meets your specifaction can't exist.

    And part of the reason for yours, is that you have a nonsense term in
    your definition, as there is no such thing as a "undecidable input" if
    some other decider can get the known right answer.

    Part of your problem is you just don't understand what a PROGRAM or ALGORITHM actually is


    as you haven't specified HOW it does what it does, just lie turing
    didn't define how his D was to do its work.

    Your problem is that Turing's goal was to prove that no such machine
    could exist, which he succeeded at, but YOUR claim is that such a
    thing might be able to exist, which you just have not proven.



    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute the
    answer to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, which
    means you have chosen a particular (broken) implementation of D
    (since no actually correct D exists), like your
    partial_recognizer_D, has fulled defined behavior, and a decider
    can exist that determines it, there is nothing "undecidable" about
    that input.

    It is just that the D that H was built on is wrong. Nothing
    "paradoxical" about a machine being wrong.

    again, wrong is a _NON-TECHNICAL VALUE ASSESSMENT_ based on you just
    _IGNORING_ the specification i specifically created for
    partial_recognizer_D...

    No, your problem is you just are too stupid to understand that your
    "specification" is just nonsense, as it assumes that you can perform
    a test by "changing" the decider and the input to see a results.

    But the specification is about a particular input and decider.


    the specification for partial_recognizer_D is when encountering
    undecidable input is to utilize FALSE,

    But there is no such thing as an "undecidable input", your definition
    is just internally inconsistantly trying to define input that the
    decider gets wrong. Since the class the partial decider is



    this _DOES NOT MEAN_ we cannot know what the /undecidable input/
    does, as a paradox in regards to partial_recognize_D _ONLY AFFECTS_
    partial_recognize_D not _OUR ABILITY TO PROVE OUTCOMES_

    In other words, you admit that you words are just lies and don't mean
    what they say.

    Your "undecidable" isn't about decidability, but correctness of a
    given decider.

    YES, THAT'S ALL UNDECIDABILITY EVER WAS

    In other words you are admitting you don't know what you are talking about.

    A given decider being incorrect doesn't mean a correct decider doesn't exist. There are many decidable problems, for which incorrect deciders
    can exist.

    Undecidability is about the being NO correct deciders.

    YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SHOW A MACHINE WHICH HAS NO CORRECT CLASSIFIERS FOR...




    This means that the trivial always false machine meets your

    NO, THE FAILURE TO CLASSIFY MUST COME FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE INPUT,
    NOT AN INCORRECT ALGO OF THE CLASSIFIER, WHY AM I REPEATING ME ON THIS?

    In other words, you think people/machines can't make mistakes?

    BEING UNABLE TO CLASSIFY /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ IS _NOT_ A MISTAKE ON
    BEHALF OF THE CLASSIFIER


    Then why are you worried about proofs of correctness.

    You don't seem to understand that the whole basis of these proofs isn't about finding *A* input that nothing can decide on, but finding a
    pattern that makes an input for a given decider that it won't be able to handle.

    That pattern isn't actually something that necessarily remains in the machine after construction, but direction to find a given algorithms
    fatal flaw, showing that ALL algorithms for that problem must have a
    fatal flaw which can be different for every one.


    requirements. Any input for which the correct answer for the base
    problem would be true, THAT particular decider won't get right, so it
    is correct in your expanded partial sense to return false.






    (you don't have one btw, so please do let me witness ur cope)

    IT seesm you just can't read.

    that is a property only of full machines)

    ur really pulling at straws here rick

    You really think so?

    It seems your problem is you need to work in a tight cage where other
    ideas are not allowed that show the holes in your ideas.






    pratial_recognizer_D has an actual and fixed algorithm.



    Thus, your basic criteria is a category error.

    If a D can determine which machines its basic algorithm will >>>>>>>>>>> get wrong, then it can just return the different answer, and >>>>>>>>>>> then THAT machine it will get right. The problem is it

    🤷🤷🤷

    to clarify this further: the only algorithmic difference
    between fixed_H and actual_turing_H is the way they

       fixed_H = () -> {

         do {
           if (N == DN(fixed_H) {

    when fixed_H iterates across DN(fixed_H) itself, it will skip >>>>>>>>>> trying to simulate itself and put it's hard coded digit on the >>>>>>>>>> diagonal, which for fixed_H is 0

    But actual_turing_H is actually circle_free, and thus its

    But your computation wasn't actually a diagonal of computable
    numbers, but of machines that made computable numbers.

    same thing moron


    Nope, I guess you are just admitting that your logic depends on
    being sloppy.

    the only way to compute a diagonal across computable numbers is
    simulating each number by the machine that computes it.

    Not the ONLY way, but a good way to try.

    But since Turing Shows this can't be done, it can't be done any way.



    Note, Turing SPECIFICALLY pointed out that he was going to the
    related problem, the problem of:

    /but the problem of enumerating computable sequences is equivalent
    to the problem of finding out whether a given number is the D.N of
    a circle- free machine, and we have no general process for doing
    this in a finite number of steps/

    oh wow GREAT CATCH RICK!!!!,

    _THAT'S ANOTHER ERROR IN HIS PROOF_

    *WE CAN ENUMERATE OUT ALL COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES, WITHOUT
    ENUMERATING OUT ALL CIRCLE_FREE MACHINES*,

    Show it.

    what??? bro ur the one who informed me proper enumerations can only
    have *one* instance of each element enumerated,

    and we all know that the total enumeration of machines has infinite
    machines producing each computable numbers...

    so therefore not only can the enumeration of computable numbers be
    done without enumerating all circle-free machines, it *MUST* be done
    without enumerating all circle-free machines, as we can output *ONLY*
    one machine for each computable number

    that should suffice

    In other words, you are admitting you can't do it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and
    honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER, THERE ARE _INFINITE_ MACHINES WHICH
    COMPUTE IT ...

    WE ONLY NEED TO CLASSIFY _ONE_ OF THOSE MACHINES TO ADD THAT GIVEN
    COMPUTABLE NUMBER THE LIST, THE REST NOT ONLY CAN, BUT MUST, BE IGNORED

    THEREFOR, WE DO _NOT_ NEED A CLASSIFIER WITH THE POWER TO COMPUTE
    WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN MACHINE IS A COMPUTABLE NUMBER, WE ONLY NEED A
    CLASSIFIER WITH ENOUGH POWER TO CLASSIFIER _ONE OF THE INFINITE_
    MACHINES FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER


    There is no inherent reason you can pull an infinite subset out of a similarly infinite set.

    We can enumerate the primes, even though for every prime there is an infinite number of composite numbers that are multiples of it, thus your logic is based on an error.



    THe fact that he quote an equivalence that he doesn't prove he
    doesn't make his proof incorrect.


    SO THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER
    IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE,

    Prove it.

    there's nothing to prove, the statement is self-evident given the
    previous two paragraphs i wrote. we don't need to be able to output it
    for *ANY* given machine, we only need to be able to output that fact
    for *ONE* machine of the infinite which produces *ANY* given compute
    number

    honestly i'm not sure why it's take until year 2026 for someone to
    point this out


    In other words, you are just admitting that you understanding of the
    problem isn't sufficent to deal with it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and
    honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE, AS WE DO NOT NEED TO IDENTIFY _ALL_ CIRCLE-FREE
    MACHINES, JUST _ONE FOR EACH_ COMPUTABLE NUMBER


    Your problem is you are working on "gut instinct" with a gut that
    doesn't understand what it is talking about, because it thinks unicorns exist.




    we only need to compute that fact for *ONE* machine for any given
    computable sequence, _SO A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE
    JOB_

    So do it.

    you ask too much for not recognizing anything i said as true

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and
    honestly identify a self-evident concept


    Because it isn't, and you have no proofs, because you can't actually
    prove a false statement.

    Part of your problem is you don't actually know much about what you are talking, so you have nothing to work with,




    fuck rick ur so bad at defending this it's actually really useful to
    me!

    (there's *another* specific sentence i have a problem with, where's
    a ben when u need him?)

    All you have shown so far is that you are too stupid to understand
    the nature of the paper.

    Note, it was NOT intended to be the end-all self-contained regerous
    proof of the concept. It was a paper, leaning on previous work done,
    and with the intent of more work to follow to show the basic idea of
    why something was true.

    Thus, not showing how a step works, isn't an error.

    Now, to counter his claims, because they are so well accepted, you
    are going to need to be rigorous and not based an the fallacy of
    assuming something and showing that it doesn't lead to a
    contradiction when you follow a restricted line of reasoining.




    So, HIS enumeration is the complete enumeration of "circle-free
    machines", which your proof admittedly doesn't do.

    lol, turing_H does nothing to de-duplicate the enumeration either,
    why am i the only one subject to criticism here???


    Also, your proof is built on the existance of a Russel Teapot,
    you have

    the *specification* /works/, which shows that it's *not*
    contradiction for it to be computable

    Nope, as it is based on the fallacy of assuming the conclusion.
    Your arguement boils down to showing that *IF* you can correctly
    determine all machines that fit in a not-definable category (since
    you concept of [paradoxical can't actually be defined at the
    machine level, only at how a machine might have been created at a
    meta-level.


    just ASSUMED you cam make this partial_recoginzser_D that can
    make the precise "mistakes" you need it to. (They are mistakes
    because the input

    "mistake" is this case is a fallacious non-techincal value
    judgement on the return value,

    No, since your criteria that you want to use is just an undefinable >>>>> term for a machine description.

    There is nothing "paradoxical" of the actual machine when created,
    as it then has fixed and determined behavior that can be decided
    on. The thing that is paradoxical is the mete-system pattern used
    to generate the class of machines as pair with a given decider.


    cause they are rather entirely within specification, as FALSE was >>>>>> specified to be used upon encountering an /undecidable input/,
    something turing_D did not handle correctly (making it _NOT EXIST_) >>>>>
    But the input is NOT "undecidable" as the actual input is based on
    a actual D that does make a specific decision to the input. And it
    is just that for any given version of D, we can find a DIFFERENT H
    that it will get wrong (the H that was just built on it).

    Do you want to claim that ALL these H are "undecidable" even though >>>>> for

    no... fixed_H contains no paradox, and is therefor not /undecidable
    input/ to any classifier

    all of them there does exist a decider that gets the right answer?

    many machines contain no paradox and are therefore classifiable by
    all classifiers


    But this proof isn't about the many, but the ALL.

    A term it seems you don't understand.

    And it isn't the job of others to show you what one you missed, it is
    yours to prove that they don't, as YOU are making the claim.


    It seems you just don't know what the word means, and thus you
    specification is actually just non-sense.


    that come from Turing_H are, in fact, circle_free because of this >>>>>>> turing_H is built on this partial_recognizdr_D which causes them >>>>>>> to not hang up on themselves.

    Your "definition" of paradoxical just doesn't apply to machines, >>>>>>> as it is based on the incorrect definition that assumes a machine >>>>>>> can be something other than itself, and when it changes, it

    not sure what ur problem is

    That you just don't know what your words mean, and you just refuse
    to learn.

    Try to actually fully DEFINE the word based on the actual
    properties of the input machine, and not refering to other machines >>>>> that are not part of the input (but would be created as alternate
    inputs to foil an alternate decider).






    when actual_turing_H iterates across DN(actual_turing_H)
    itself, it will similarly skip trying to simulate itself, >>>>>>>>>> because partial_recognizer_D fails to classify it as circle-free >>>>>>>>>
    Right, so it ALSO is wrong, as it didn't compute the diagonal >>>>>>>>> of the circle-free machines.

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE
    NUMBERS_, which is the _ACTUAL PROBLEM_ turing was dealing with, >>>>>>>
    No, it isn't, as your "set of computable numbers" has duplicates. >>>>>>
    it's still a diagonal across all computerate numbers even if it
    has dpulicates ...

    No, because an enumeration of a set doesn't HAVE duplicates.

    then the H's as of now are i suppose "generators" instead of
    enumerators

    and turing was wrong about that too, but i don't see u criticizing
    him now eh???

    H is a generator, its goal was to generate a particual number.

    it's goal was a generate a diagonal across all circle-free machines,

    which as you said: is *NOT* an enumeration, and an enumeration
    required duplicating the machines

    Right, but the result it is generating is BASED (and defined) on a given enumeration which it computes internally).

    Your Fixed_H isn't computing anything with a defined specification, as
    your "enumeration" that you claim to be based on, isn't actually an enumeration that meets your claimed requirement.



    D is a decider, that allowed H, in its generation, to produce
    (internally) the enumeration that its results were defined by,

    It seems you don't understand that to reach your goal, sometimes you
    have to acheive a sub-goal that is quite different.

           N += 1
         }
       }

    well since

       partial_recognizer_D(actual_turing_H) -> FALSE

    because actual_turing_H is an /undecidable input/ to any D >>>>>>>>>>>>> classifier, when actually run actual_turing_H will simply >>>>>>>>>>>>> skip putting it's own digit in the computed sequence >>>>>>>>>>>>>

    this is unfortunately a fallacious understanding of

    But, we aren't looking at "undecidable inputs", as these

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    But it DOES exist if you have a machine you claim to be a D.


    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    The one that calls your partial_recoginzer_D as its D.

    except we can describe the behavior of actual_turing_H and prove >>>>>>> it's equivalent to fixed_H, so therefore it doesn't fit what u
    stated was

       > But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    Undecidability as a property of a PROBLEM, not an "input" or a
    machine, unless you are narrowing the problem to just being about >>>>>> that one machine/input.

    because it *only* ever *was* about problematic input to
    *particular* classifiers...


    Except that isn't what "Undecidability" is about. And you are just
    proving you don't know what you are talking about.

    If we use the correct term, what you are tying to call
    "undeciability" is really just not being correct. The problem is a
    "particualar classifier" has a fixed set of how it classifies
    everything. And thus, nothing can be "paradoxical" to it, as we
    never get to the other side,

    RICK I'M NEVER GOING TO FIGURE YOU FOR BEING AN UNDYING ASSHOLE,
    EXCEPT MAYBE ONCE U FINALLY TAKE UR IGNORANCE TO THE GRAVE

    Right, because logic that is based on error can't unddrstand logic
    that requires correctness.



    The other side you talk about is about if this decider was a
    different decider, and some how magically the input was also a
    different input converted by a method not "in system" but only in a
    meta-system.

    it's not my problem everyone went for over a century confusing
    *our* ability to prove outcomes, with what a /particular/ decider
    can output... ya'll got caught up in a rigor of what is
    fundamentally nonsense

    Because what a particual decider does, if it isnt' right, is just
    not interesting,


    no one has demonstrated a *possible* machine, let alone a *real*
    machine, which we can't provably can't prove the outcome for...
    such a proof makes the machine _NEITHER POSSIBLE NOR REAL_ so it
    would be ludicrous to present such a proof to exist

    Only sort of right. Yes, we can not produce a machine that we know
    we can not possibly ever decide if it halts or not, because such a
    machine must by definition be non-halting, since ALL halting
    machines are provable halting by just running them. Thus, to prove
    we can't know they halt, we need to prove they don't halt, but then
    we know their behavior.

    The fact we can't demonstrate and example of that class, doesn't
    mean members of it can't exist.

    FUCK UR DAMN TEAPOT RICK


    In other words, you are admitting I am right and need to resort to the
    fallacy of swearing to distract others from that basic fact.

    i don't have a response anymore to the level of stupidity required to
    keep bleating on and on about being so certain of machines it would be a contradiction to even produce an example of...

    In other words, you are just addmitting that you are too stupid to
    understand the possiblity of something being unknowable.

    It seems you are incapable of thinking abstractly, of even being able to conceive of something you didn't invent without an example.

    But you are also incapable of thinking concreately, because you don't understand the need to show that there is a reason you need to be able
    to show that the machines you imagine are possible.

    I will point out AGAIN, that these unknowable machines are not needed to
    be understood to understand the uncomputable nature of the problem (They
    just come out as an effect of that).






    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and
    therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_

    So? What that proves is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually acheive
    the goal defined for turing_D, a machine that determines if a given
    machine is circle-free.


    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and _NOTHING
    MORE_, and _DESERVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION_ beyond the
    recognition that such an interface _IS INCOMPLETE_

    No, it prove that the interface is uncomputable, and no such machine
    exists.

    BECAUSE IT'S INCOMPLETE. AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ THAT DOES NOT
    HANDLE ALL INPUT SITUATIONS CANNOT EXIST

    The Specification of the INTERFACE is complete, it fully defines what
    the given machine must do.

    imagine trying to argue a machine that can't exist, because it didn't
    handle all input situations, as "complete"

    In other words, you can't understand the difference between a
    specification of an interface, and the specification of a machine.

    By your own logic, YOUR machine is INCOMPLETE, as you can't give the
    actual specific algorithm it uses. Your "logic" is based on ASSUMING
    that something is computable, with absolutely ZERO evidence that it is.

    In other words, you live in a world of fantasy



    The Specification of the interface is uncomputable, or unrealizable,
    because we can't make a machine that fullfills it.

    Yes, the specification of the ALGORITHM is incomplete, as we don't
    specify how to do all the steps, but then so is yours.

    Turing, BECAUSE he used an unspecified algorithm for his D, was able
    to actually PROVE that the specification for the interface of D was
    unimplementable.

    All your arguement has done is shown that if magic fairy dust powered
    unicorns exists (which they don't), you could use one of them to built
    an (also non-existant) program to compute something that is actually
    proven to be uncomputable.

    All you have done is proven you don't understand how logic works, and
    thus your works SHOULD BE IGNORED.



    If you want to be consistant, YOUR partial_decider_D is ALSO
    incomplete,

    IT'S NOT INCOMPLETE AS IT HANDLES ALL INPUT SITUATIONS

    That isn't what "Incomplete", means, as your partial_decider_D doesn't
    exist so it can't handle ANY input situations.

    YOU HAVEN'T DEMONSTRATED A CONTRADICTION WITH PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D, SO
    YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN IT TO NOT EXIST...

    In other words, you assert the existance of Russel's teapot.

    The "contradiction" is in the fact that you concept of "undecidable
    input" just is nonsense.

    How is it different then inputs that the specific decider is just wrong
    able.

    Describe how you define that property based on JUST the specific input
    itself and the specific decider.

    Your world is based on variable constants and similar nonsense.



    You don't get it, that if you want to put down Turing's machines for
    not handling cases, you need to also accept that yours doesn't for the
    same reason, a machine that fully meets your specifaction can't exist.

    And part of the reason for yours, is that you have a nonsense term in
    your definition, as there is no such thing as a "undecidable input" if
    some other decider can get the known right answer.

    Part of your problem is you just don't understand what a PROGRAM or
    ALGORITHM actually is


    as you haven't specified HOW it does what it does, just lie turing
    didn't define how his D was to do its work.

    Your problem is that Turing's goal was to prove that no such machine
    could exist, which he succeeded at, but YOUR claim is that such a
    thing might be able to exist, which you just have not proven.



    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute the >>>>>> answer to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, which
    means you have chosen a particular (broken) implementation of D
    (since no actually correct D exists), like your
    partial_recognizer_D, has fulled defined behavior, and a decider
    can exist that determines it, there is nothing "undecidable" about >>>>>> that input.

    It is just that the D that H was built on is wrong. Nothing
    "paradoxical" about a machine being wrong.

    again, wrong is a _NON-TECHNICAL VALUE ASSESSMENT_ based on you
    just _IGNORING_ the specification i specifically created for
    partial_recognizer_D...

    No, your problem is you just are too stupid to understand that your
    "specification" is just nonsense, as it assumes that you can perform
    a test by "changing" the decider and the input to see a results.

    But the specification is about a particular input and decider.


    the specification for partial_recognizer_D is when encountering
    undecidable input is to utilize FALSE,

    But there is no such thing as an "undecidable input", your
    definition is just internally inconsistantly trying to define input
    that the decider gets wrong. Since the class the partial decider is



    this _DOES NOT MEAN_ we cannot know what the /undecidable input/
    does, as a paradox in regards to partial_recognize_D _ONLY AFFECTS_ >>>>> partial_recognize_D not _OUR ABILITY TO PROVE OUTCOMES_

    In other words, you admit that you words are just lies and don't
    mean what they say.

    Your "undecidable" isn't about decidability, but correctness of a
    given decider.

    YES, THAT'S ALL UNDECIDABILITY EVER WAS

    In other words you are admitting you don't know what you are talking
    about.

    A given decider being incorrect doesn't mean a correct decider doesn't
    exist. There are many decidable problems, for which incorrect deciders
    can exist.

    Undecidability is about the being NO correct deciders.

    YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SHOW A MACHINE WHICH HAS NO CORRECT CLASSIFIERS FOR...

    Because I don't need to.

    All that is needed to prove a problem is uncomputable is to show that
    you can make an input for any given decider that it is wrong about.

    You don't seem to understand the problem.





    This means that the trivial always false machine meets your

    NO, THE FAILURE TO CLASSIFY MUST COME FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE
    INPUT, NOT AN INCORRECT ALGO OF THE CLASSIFIER, WHY AM I REPEATING ME
    ON THIS?

    In other words, you think people/machines can't make mistakes?

    BEING UNABLE TO CLASSIFY /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ IS _NOT_ A MISTAKE ON
    BEHALF OF THE CLASSIFIER

    But the input isn't "undecidable", as that isn't an actual property of
    an input.

    Your logic is just based on category errors, based on your own stupidity.



    Then why are you worried about proofs of correctness.

    You don't seem to understand that the whole basis of these proofs
    isn't about finding *A* input that nothing can decide on, but finding
    a pattern that makes an input for a given decider that it won't be
    able to handle.

    That pattern isn't actually something that necessarily remains in the
    machine after construction, but direction to find a given algorithms
    fatal flaw, showing that ALL algorithms for that problem must have a
    fatal flaw which can be different for every one.


    requirements. Any input for which the correct answer for the base
    problem would be true, THAT particular decider won't get right, so
    it is correct in your expanded partial sense to return false.

    same thing moron


    Nope, I guess you are just admitting that your logic depends on
    being sloppy.

    the only way to compute a diagonal across computable numbers is
    simulating each number by the machine that computes it.

    Not the ONLY way, but a good way to try.

    But since Turing Shows this can't be done, it can't be done any way.



    Note, Turing SPECIFICALLY pointed out that he was going to the
    related problem, the problem of:

    /but the problem of enumerating computable sequences is equivalent >>>>>> to the problem of finding out whether a given number is the D.N of >>>>>> a circle- free machine, and we have no general process for doing
    this in a finite number of steps/

    oh wow GREAT CATCH RICK!!!!,

    _THAT'S ANOTHER ERROR IN HIS PROOF_

    *WE CAN ENUMERATE OUT ALL COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES, WITHOUT
    ENUMERATING OUT ALL CIRCLE_FREE MACHINES*,

    Show it.

    what??? bro ur the one who informed me proper enumerations can only
    have *one* instance of each element enumerated,

    and we all know that the total enumeration of machines has infinite
    machines producing each computable numbers...

    so therefore not only can the enumeration of computable numbers be
    done without enumerating all circle-free machines, it *MUST* be done
    without enumerating all circle-free machines, as we can output *ONLY*
    one machine for each computable number

    that should suffice

    In other words, you are admitting you can't do it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER, THERE ARE _INFINITE_ MACHINES WHICH COMPUTE IT ...

    I fully understand that.


    WE ONLY NEED TO CLASSIFY _ONE_ OF THOSE MACHINES TO ADD THAT GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER THE LIST, THE REST NOT ONLY CAN, BUT MUST, BE IGNORED

    Right, and you need to PROVE that you can.


    THEREFOR, WE DO _NOT_ NEED A CLASSIFIER WITH THE POWER TO COMPUTE
    WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN MACHINE IS A COMPUTABLE NUMBER, WE ONLY NEED A CLASSIFIER WITH ENOUGH POWER TO CLASSIFIER _ONE OF THE INFINITE_
    MACHINES FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    Right, you need to PROVE that you can build a classifier that will
    select at least one machine for every computable number.

    You can't just assume your decider exists, you need to show HOW it works.

    Since you concept is based on identifing the "undeciable inputs", you
    need to show how you actually will do it, which means you need to define
    it in a way that is detectable.




    There is no inherent reason you can pull an infinite subset out of a
    similarly infinite set.

    We can enumerate the primes, even though for every prime there is an
    infinite number of composite numbers that are multiples of it, thus
    your logic is based on an error.



    THe fact that he quote an equivalence that he doesn't prove he
    doesn't make his proof incorrect.


    SO THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER >>>>> IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE,

    Prove it.

    there's nothing to prove, the statement is self-evident given the
    previous two paragraphs i wrote. we don't need to be able to output
    it for *ANY* given machine, we only need to be able to output that
    fact for *ONE* machine of the infinite which produces *ANY* given
    compute number

    honestly i'm not sure why it's take until year 2026 for someone to
    point this out


    In other words, you are just admitting that you understanding of the
    problem isn't sufficent to deal with it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE, AS WE DO NOT NEED TO IDENTIFY _ALL_ CIRCLE-FREE MACHINES, JUST _ONE FOR EACH_ COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    So, you need to show that you CAN do that.

    Turing points out that they are computationally related, and I will
    beleive him more that you how claims you can do one without showing how.

    You have ADMITTED your ignorance of the field, having looked at only a
    very few of the papers, I suspect there was something discussed
    somewhere about this, even if it wasn't as famous of a paper (as it
    wasn't so eathshaking by itself).



    Your problem is you are working on "gut instinct" with a gut that
    doesn't understand what it is talking about, because it thinks
    unicorns exist.




    we only need to compute that fact for *ONE* machine for any given
    computable sequence, _SO A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE >>>>> JOB_

    So do it.

    you ask too much for not recognizing anything i said as true

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and honestly identify a self-evident concept

    Because is is just wrong, being based on category errors.

    As long as you just ASSUME you can do what you claim, you are just
    making a ASS out of yourself, proving that your "self-evident" is really
    a case o "self-delusion"



    Because it isn't, and you have no proofs, because you can't actually
    prove a false statement.

    Part of your problem is you don't actually know much about what you
    are talking, so you have nothing to work with,




    fuck rick ur so bad at defending this it's actually really useful
    to me!

    (there's *another* specific sentence i have a problem with, where's >>>>> a ben when u need him?)

    All you have shown so far is that you are too stupid to understand
    the nature of the paper.

    Note, it was NOT intended to be the end-all self-contained regerous
    proof of the concept. It was a paper, leaning on previous work done,
    and with the intent of more work to follow to show the basic idea of
    why something was true.

    Thus, not showing how a step works, isn't an error.

    Now, to counter his claims, because they are so well accepted, you
    are going to need to be rigorous and not based an the fallacy of
    assuming something and showing that it doesn't lead to a
    contradiction when you follow a restricted line of reasoining.




    So, HIS enumeration is the complete enumeration of "circle-free
    machines", which your proof admittedly doesn't do.

    lol, turing_H does nothing to de-duplicate the enumeration either,
    why am i the only one subject to criticism here???


    Also, your proof is built on the existance of a Russel Teapot, >>>>>>>> you have

    the *specification* /works/, which shows that it's *not*
    contradiction for it to be computable

    Nope, as it is based on the fallacy of assuming the conclusion.
    Your arguement boils down to showing that *IF* you can correctly
    determine all machines that fit in a not-definable category (since >>>>>> you concept of [paradoxical can't actually be defined at the

    judgement on the return value,

    No, since your criteria that you want to use is just an
    undefinable term for a machine description.

    There is nothing "paradoxical" of the actual machine when created, >>>>>> as it then has fixed and determined behavior that can be decided

    Do you want to claim that ALL these H are "undecidable" even
    though for

    no... fixed_H contains no paradox, and is therefor not /undecidable >>>>> input/ to any classifier

    all of them there does exist a decider that gets the right answer?

    many machines contain no paradox and are therefore classifiable by
    all classifiers


    But this proof isn't about the many, but the ALL.

    A term it seems you don't understand.

    And it isn't the job of others to show you what one you missed, it
    is yours to prove that they don't, as YOU are making the claim.


    It seems you just don't know what the word means, and thus you
    specification is actually just non-sense.

    not sure what ur problem is

    Try to actually fully DEFINE the word based on the actual

    No, because an enumeration of a set doesn't HAVE duplicates.

    then the H's as of now are i suppose "generators" instead of
    enumerators

    and turing was wrong about that too, but i don't see u criticizing
    him now eh???

    H is a generator, its goal was to generate a particual number.

    it's goal was a generate a diagonal across all circle-free machines,

    which as you said: is *NOT* an enumeration, and an enumeration
    required duplicating the machines

    Right, but the result it is generating is BASED (and defined) on a
    given enumeration which it computes internally).

    Your Fixed_H isn't computing anything with a defined specification, as
    your "enumeration" that you claim to be based on, isn't actually an
    enumeration that meets your claimed requirement.



    D is a decider, that allowed H, in its generation, to produce
    (internally) the enumeration that its results were defined by,

    It seems you don't understand that to reach your goal, sometimes you
    have to acheive a sub-goal that is quite different.

    Undecidability as a property of a PROBLEM, not an "input" or a

    because it *only* ever *was* about problematic input to
    *particular* classifiers...


    Except that isn't what "Undecidability" is about. And you are just
    proving you don't know what you are talking about.

    If we use the correct term, what you are tying to call
    "undeciability" is really just not being correct. The problem is a
    "particualar classifier" has a fixed set of how it classifies
    everything. And thus, nothing can be "paradoxical" to it, as we
    never get to the other side,

    RICK I'M NEVER GOING TO FIGURE YOU FOR BEING AN UNDYING ASSHOLE,
    EXCEPT MAYBE ONCE U FINALLY TAKE UR IGNORANCE TO THE GRAVE

    Right, because logic that is based on error can't unddrstand logic
    that requires correctness.



    The other side you talk about is about if this decider was a
    different decider, and some how magically the input was also a
    different input converted by a method not "in system" but only in a >>>>> meta-system.

    it's not my problem everyone went for over a century confusing

    Because what a particual decider does, if it isnt' right, is just
    not interesting,


    no one has demonstrated a *possible* machine, let alone a *real*
    machine, which we can't provably can't prove the outcome for...
    such a proof makes the machine _NEITHER POSSIBLE NOR REAL_ so it
    would be ludicrous to present such a proof to exist

    Only sort of right. Yes, we can not produce a machine that we know
    we can not possibly ever decide if it halts or not, because such a
    machine must by definition be non-halting, since ALL halting
    machines are provable halting by just running them. Thus, to prove
    we can't know they halt, we need to prove they don't halt, but then >>>>> we know their behavior.

    The fact we can't demonstrate and example of that class, doesn't
    mean members of it can't exist.

    FUCK UR DAMN TEAPOT RICK


    In other words, you are admitting I am right and need to resort to
    the fallacy of swearing to distract others from that basic fact.

    i don't have a response anymore to the level of stupidity required to
    keep bleating on and on about being so certain of machines it would be
    a contradiction to even produce an example of...

    In other words, you are just addmitting that you are too stupid to understand the possiblity of something being unknowable.

    all u have is an ill conceived notion based on the fallacy that _one_ classifier's failure to classify, can be overgeneralized to a _total_ inability to generally prove outcomes, ultimately founded on the
    unproven thesis that all computability is encompassed by TM computing

    i don't need to respond to that further


    It seems you are incapable of thinking abstractly, of even being able to conceive of something you didn't invent without an example.

    But you are also incapable of thinking concreately, because you don't understand the need to show that there is a reason you need to be able
    to show that the machines you imagine are possible.

    I will point out AGAIN, that these unknowable machines are not needed to
    be understood to understand the uncomputable nature of the problem (They just come out as an effect of that).






    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and
    therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_

    So? What that proves is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually acheive
    the goal defined for turing_D, a machine that determines if a given >>>>> machine is circle-free.


    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and _NOTHING
    MORE_, and _DESERVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION_ beyond the
    recognition that such an interface _IS INCOMPLETE_

    No, it prove that the interface is uncomputable, and no such
    machine exists.

    BECAUSE IT'S INCOMPLETE. AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ THAT DOES NOT
    HANDLE ALL INPUT SITUATIONS CANNOT EXIST

    The Specification of the INTERFACE is complete, it fully defines what
    the given machine must do.

    imagine trying to argue a machine that can't exist, because it didn't
    handle all input situations, as "complete"

    In other words, you can't understand the difference between a
    specification of an interface, and the specification of a machine.

    IT DOESN'T "SPECIFY A MACHINE" BECAUSE IT'S _NOT_ A MACHINE DESCRIPTION,

    IT _SPECIFIES AN INTERFACE_, ONE THAT IS TOO INCOMPLETE TO BE COMPUTED
    BY A MACHINE


    By your own logic, YOUR machine is INCOMPLETE, as you can't give the
    actual specific algorithm it uses. Your "logic" is based on ASSUMING
    that something is computable, with absolutely ZERO evidence that it is.

    In other words, you live in a world of fantasy



    The Specification of the interface is uncomputable, or unrealizable,
    because we can't make a machine that fullfills it.

    Yes, the specification of the ALGORITHM is incomplete, as we don't
    specify how to do all the steps, but then so is yours.

    Turing, BECAUSE he used an unspecified algorithm for his D, was able
    to actually PROVE that the specification for the interface of D was
    unimplementable.

    All your arguement has done is shown that if magic fairy dust powered
    unicorns exists (which they don't), you could use one of them to
    built an (also non-existant) program to compute something that is
    actually proven to be uncomputable.

    All you have done is proven you don't understand how logic works, and
    thus your works SHOULD BE IGNORED.



    If you want to be consistant, YOUR partial_decider_D is ALSO
    incomplete,

    IT'S NOT INCOMPLETE AS IT HANDLES ALL INPUT SITUATIONS

    That isn't what "Incomplete", means, as your partial_decider_D
    doesn't exist so it can't handle ANY input situations.

    YOU HAVEN'T DEMONSTRATED A CONTRADICTION WITH PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D, SO
    YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN IT TO NOT EXIST...

    In other words, you assert the existance of Russel's teapot.

    The "contradiction" is in the fact that you concept of "undecidable
    input" just is nonsense.

    u know exactly what i'm talking about when i say /undecidable input/, u
    just refuse to acknowledge anything i say as correct. because as soon as
    that damn breaks, ur whole position gets flooded with truth


    How is it different then inputs that the specific decider is just wrong able.

    Describe how you define that property based on JUST the specific input itself and the specific decider.

    Your world is based on variable constants and similar nonsense.



    You don't get it, that if you want to put down Turing's machines for
    not handling cases, you need to also accept that yours doesn't for
    the same reason, a machine that fully meets your specifaction can't
    exist.

    And part of the reason for yours, is that you have a nonsense term in
    your definition, as there is no such thing as a "undecidable input"
    if some other decider can get the known right answer.

    Part of your problem is you just don't understand what a PROGRAM or
    ALGORITHM actually is


    as you haven't specified HOW it does what it does, just lie turing
    didn't define how his D was to do its work.

    Your problem is that Turing's goal was to prove that no such
    machine could exist, which he succeeded at, but YOUR claim is that
    such a thing might be able to exist, which you just have not proven. >>>>>


    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute the >>>>>>> answer to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, which
    means you have chosen a particular (broken) implementation of D >>>>>>> (since no actually correct D exists), like your
    partial_recognizer_D, has fulled defined behavior, and a decider >>>>>>> can exist that determines it, there is nothing "undecidable"
    about that input.

    It is just that the D that H was built on is wrong. Nothing
    "paradoxical" about a machine being wrong.

    again, wrong is a _NON-TECHNICAL VALUE ASSESSMENT_ based on you
    just _IGNORING_ the specification i specifically created for
    partial_recognizer_D...

    No, your problem is you just are too stupid to understand that your >>>>> "specification" is just nonsense, as it assumes that you can
    perform a test by "changing" the decider and the input to see a
    results.

    But the specification is about a particular input and decider.


    the specification for partial_recognizer_D is when encountering
    undecidable input is to utilize FALSE,

    But there is no such thing as an "undecidable input", your
    definition is just internally inconsistantly trying to define input >>>>> that the decider gets wrong. Since the class the partial decider is



    this _DOES NOT MEAN_ we cannot know what the /undecidable input/
    does, as a paradox in regards to partial_recognize_D _ONLY
    AFFECTS_ partial_recognize_D not _OUR ABILITY TO PROVE OUTCOMES_

    In other words, you admit that you words are just lies and don't
    mean what they say.

    Your "undecidable" isn't about decidability, but correctness of a
    given decider.

    YES, THAT'S ALL UNDECIDABILITY EVER WAS

    In other words you are admitting you don't know what you are talking
    about.

    A given decider being incorrect doesn't mean a correct decider
    doesn't exist. There are many decidable problems, for which incorrect
    deciders can exist.

    Undecidability is about the being NO correct deciders.

    YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SHOW A MACHINE WHICH HAS NO CORRECT CLASSIFIERS FOR...

    Because I don't need to.

    YOU'VE ONLY SHOWN THAT FOR ANY CLASSIFIER THERE EXISTS A MACHINE IT
    CAN'T CLASSIFY...

    NOT THAT THERE EXISTS A MACHINE THAT CAN'T BE CLASSIFIED...


    All that is needed to prove a problem is uncomputable is to show that
    you can make an input for any given decider that it is wrong about.

    THAT ONLY SHOWS THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE COMPUTED BY A _SINGLE_ MACHINE


    You don't seem to understand the problem.

    YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEEN PROVEN






    This means that the trivial always false machine meets your

    NO, THE FAILURE TO CLASSIFY MUST COME FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE
    INPUT, NOT AN INCORRECT ALGO OF THE CLASSIFIER, WHY AM I REPEATING
    ME ON THIS?

    In other words, you think people/machines can't make mistakes?

    BEING UNABLE TO CLASSIFY /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ IS _NOT_ A MISTAKE ON
    BEHALF OF THE CLASSIFIER

    But the input isn't "undecidable", as that isn't an actual property of
    an input.

    IT IS _CAUSED_ *BY THE STRUCTURE OF THE INPUT*


    Your logic is just based on category errors, based on your own stupidity.



    Then why are you worried about proofs of correctness.

    You don't seem to understand that the whole basis of these proofs
    isn't about finding *A* input that nothing can decide on, but finding
    a pattern that makes an input for a given decider that it won't be
    able to handle.

    That pattern isn't actually something that necessarily remains in the
    machine after construction, but direction to find a given algorithms
    fatal flaw, showing that ALL algorithms for that problem must have a
    fatal flaw which can be different for every one.


    requirements. Any input for which the correct answer for the base
    problem would be true, THAT particular decider won't get right, so
    it is correct in your expanded partial sense to return false.

    You really think so?

    It seems your problem is you need to work in a tight cage where
    other ideas are not allowed that show the holes in your ideas.

    same thing moron


    Nope, I guess you are just admitting that your logic depends on >>>>>>> being sloppy.

    the only way to compute a diagonal across computable numbers is
    simulating each number by the machine that computes it.

    Not the ONLY way, but a good way to try.

    But since Turing Shows this can't be done, it can't be done any way. >>>>>


    Note, Turing SPECIFICALLY pointed out that he was going to the
    related problem, the problem of:

    /but the problem of enumerating computable sequences is
    equivalent to the problem of finding out whether a given number >>>>>>> is the D.N of a circle- free machine, and we have no general
    process for doing this in a finite number of steps/

    oh wow GREAT CATCH RICK!!!!,

    _THAT'S ANOTHER ERROR IN HIS PROOF_

    *WE CAN ENUMERATE OUT ALL COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES, WITHOUT
    ENUMERATING OUT ALL CIRCLE_FREE MACHINES*,

    Show it.

    what??? bro ur the one who informed me proper enumerations can only
    have *one* instance of each element enumerated,

    and we all know that the total enumeration of machines has infinite
    machines producing each computable numbers...

    so therefore not only can the enumeration of computable numbers be
    done without enumerating all circle-free machines, it *MUST* be done
    without enumerating all circle-free machines, as we can output
    *ONLY* one machine for each computable number

    that should suffice

    In other words, you are admitting you can't do it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and
    honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER, THERE ARE _INFINITE_ MACHINES WHICH
    COMPUTE IT ...

    I fully understand that.


    WE ONLY NEED TO CLASSIFY _ONE_ OF THOSE MACHINES TO ADD THAT GIVEN
    COMPUTABLE NUMBER THE LIST, THE REST NOT ONLY CAN, BUT MUST, BE IGNORED

    Right, and you need to PROVE that you can.

    IT'S ENOUGH TO REFUTE A *KEYSTONE* POINT IN TURING'S PAPER

    THE REST OF THE PAPER IS PRETTY MUCH VOID DUE TO TURING CONFLATING THE ENUMERATION OF COMPUTABLE NUMBERS WITH THAT OF MACHINES THAT COMPUTE COMPUTATIONAL NUMBERS



    THEREFOR, WE DO _NOT_ NEED A CLASSIFIER WITH THE POWER TO COMPUTE
    WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN MACHINE IS A COMPUTABLE NUMBER, WE ONLY NEED A
    CLASSIFIER WITH ENOUGH POWER TO CLASSIFIER _ONE OF THE INFINITE_
    MACHINES FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    Right, you need to PROVE that you can build a classifier that will
    select at least one machine for every computable number.

    You can't just assume your decider exists, you need to show HOW it works.

    Since you concept is based on identifing the "undeciable inputs", you
    need to show how you actually will do it, which means you need to define
    it in a way that is detectable.

    i already demonstrated the basic idea several times

    actually building a partial_recognizer for all possible computable
    numbers is a research question far outside the scope of this discussion
    since it involves open questions in number theory we don't even have
    answers to





    There is no inherent reason you can pull an infinite subset out of a
    similarly infinite set.

    We can enumerate the primes, even though for every prime there is an
    infinite number of composite numbers that are multiples of it, thus
    your logic is based on an error.



    THe fact that he quote an equivalence that he doesn't prove he
    doesn't make his proof incorrect.


    SO THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN
    NUMBER IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE,

    Prove it.

    there's nothing to prove, the statement is self-evident given the
    previous two paragraphs i wrote. we don't need to be able to output
    it for *ANY* given machine, we only need to be able to output that
    fact for *ONE* machine of the infinite which produces *ANY* given
    compute number

    honestly i'm not sure why it's take until year 2026 for someone to
    point this out


    In other words, you are just admitting that you understanding of the
    problem isn't sufficent to deal with it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and
    honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER IS
    A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE, AS WE DO NOT NEED TO IDENTIFY _ALL_ CIRCLE-FREE
    MACHINES, JUST _ONE FOR EACH_ COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    So, you need to show that you CAN do that.

    Turing points out that they are computationally related, and I will

    being related does _not_ make them the _same problem_,

    and turing's proof *depends* on them being the _same problem_

    beleive him more that you how claims you can do one without showing how.

    You have ADMITTED your ignorance of the field, having looked at only a
    very few of the papers, I suspect there was something discussed

    this is suspicion that is easily dealt with using search tools. but
    instead of backing up that suspicion ur just continuing to be suspect,
    and i'm never gunna buy it

    somewhere about this, even if it wasn't as famous of a paper (as it
    wasn't so eathshaking by itself).



    Your problem is you are working on "gut instinct" with a gut that
    doesn't understand what it is talking about, because it thinks
    unicorns exist.




    we only need to compute that fact for *ONE* machine for any given >>>>>> computable sequence, _SO A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER IS SUFFICIENT FOR
    THE JOB_

    So do it.

    you ask too much for not recognizing anything i said as true

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and
    honestly identify a self-evident concept

    Because is is just wrong, being based on category errors.

    As long as you just ASSUME you can do what you claim, you are just
    making a ASS out of yourself, proving that your "self-evident" is really
    a case o "self-delusion"



    Because it isn't, and you have no proofs, because you can't actually
    prove a false statement.

    Part of your problem is you don't actually know much about what you
    are talking, so you have nothing to work with,




    fuck rick ur so bad at defending this it's actually really useful >>>>>> to me!

    (there's *another* specific sentence i have a problem with,
    where's a ben when u need him?)

    All you have shown so far is that you are too stupid to understand
    the nature of the paper.

    Note, it was NOT intended to be the end-all self-contained regerous >>>>> proof of the concept. It was a paper, leaning on previous work
    done, and with the intent of more work to follow to show the basic
    idea of why something was true.

    Thus, not showing how a step works, isn't an error.

    Now, to counter his claims, because they are so well accepted, you
    are going to need to be rigorous and not based an the fallacy of
    assuming something and showing that it doesn't lead to a
    contradiction when you follow a restricted line of reasoining.




    So, HIS enumeration is the complete enumeration of "circle-free >>>>>>> machines", which your proof admittedly doesn't do.

    lol, turing_H does nothing to de-duplicate the enumeration either, >>>>>> why am i the only one subject to criticism here???


    Also, your proof is built on the existance of a Russel Teapot, >>>>>>>>> you have

    the *specification* /works/, which shows that it's *not*

    Nope, as it is based on the fallacy of assuming the conclusion. >>>>>>> Your arguement boils down to showing that *IF* you can correctly >>>>>>> determine all machines that fit in a not-definable category

    No, since your criteria that you want to use is just an
    undefinable term for a machine description.

    There is nothing "paradoxical" of the actual machine when
    created, as it then has fixed and determined behavior that can be >>>>>>> decided on. The thing that is paradoxical is the mete-system
    pattern used to generate the class of machines as pair with a

    But the input is NOT "undecidable" as the actual input is based >>>>>>> on a actual D that does make a specific decision to the input.
    And it is just that for any given version of D, we can find a
    DIFFERENT H that it will get wrong (the H that was just built on >>>>>>> it).

    Do you want to claim that ALL these H are "undecidable" even
    though for

    no... fixed_H contains no paradox, and is therefor not /

    all of them there does exist a decider that gets the right answer? >>>>>>
    many machines contain no paradox and are therefore classifiable by >>>>>> all classifiers


    But this proof isn't about the many, but the ALL.

    A term it seems you don't understand.

    And it isn't the job of others to show you what one you missed, it
    is yours to prove that they don't, as YOU are making the claim.


    It seems you just don't know what the word means, and thus you
    specification is actually just non-sense.


    that come from Turing_H are, in fact, circle_free because of >>>>>>>>> this turing_H is built on this partial_recognizdr_D which
    causes them to not hang up on themselves.

    Your "definition" of paradoxical just doesn't apply to
    machines, as it is based on the incorrect definition that
    assumes a machine can be something other than itself, and when >>>>>>>>> it changes, it changes other things that at the meta/template >>>>>>>>> level refered to its old self.

    not sure what ur problem is

    That you just don't know what your words mean, and you just
    refuse to learn.

    Try to actually fully DEFINE the word based on the actual
    properties of the input machine, and not refering to other
    machines that are not part of the input (but would be created as >>>>>>> alternate inputs to foil an alternate decider).

    fixed_H is computing a diagonal across *all* _COMPUTABLE

    No, because an enumeration of a set doesn't HAVE duplicates.

    then the H's as of now are i suppose "generators" instead of
    enumerators

    and turing was wrong about that too, but i don't see u criticizing >>>>>> him now eh???

    H is a generator, its goal was to generate a particual number.

    it's goal was a generate a diagonal across all circle-free machines,

    which as you said: is *NOT* an enumeration, and an enumeration
    required duplicating the machines

    Right, but the result it is generating is BASED (and defined) on a
    given enumeration which it computes internally).

    Your Fixed_H isn't computing anything with a defined specification,
    as your "enumeration" that you claim to be based on, isn't actually
    an enumeration that meets your claimed requirement.



    D is a decider, that allowed H, in its generation, to produce
    (internally) the enumeration that its results were defined by,

    It seems you don't understand that to reach your goal, sometimes
    you have to acheive a sub-goal that is quite different.

    But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    well u haven't demonstrated such a machine

    turing_H _DOES NOT EXIST_ so it's not an example,

    But it DOES exist if you have a machine you claim to be a D. >>>>>>>>>>

    what *actual* example _THAT CAN EXIST_ do u have???

    The one that calls your partial_recoginzer_D as its D.

    except we can describe the behavior of actual_turing_H and

       > But THAT *IS* the meaning of "undecidability".

    Undecidability as a property of a PROBLEM, not an "input" or a >>>>>>>> machine, unless you are narrowing the problem to just being
    about that one machine/input.

    because it *only* ever *was* about problematic input to
    *particular* classifiers...


    Except that isn't what "Undecidability" is about. And you are just >>>>>> proving you don't know what you are talking about.

    If we use the correct term, what you are tying to call
    "undeciability" is really just not being correct. The problem is a >>>>>> "particualar classifier" has a fixed set of how it classifies

    RICK I'M NEVER GOING TO FIGURE YOU FOR BEING AN UNDYING ASSHOLE,
    EXCEPT MAYBE ONCE U FINALLY TAKE UR IGNORANCE TO THE GRAVE

    Right, because logic that is based on error can't unddrstand logic
    that requires correctness.



    The other side you talk about is about if this decider was a
    different decider, and some how magically the input was also a

    The fact we can't demonstrate and example of that class, doesn't

    FUCK UR DAMN TEAPOT RICK


    In other words, you are admitting I am right and need to resort to
    the fallacy of swearing to distract others from that basic fact.

    i don't have a response anymore to the level of stupidity required to
    keep bleating on and on about being so certain of machines it would
    be a contradiction to even produce an example of...

    In other words, you are just addmitting that you are too stupid to
    understand the possiblity of something being unknowable.

    all u have is an ill conceived notion based on the fallacy that _one_ classifier's failure to classify, can be overgeneralized to a _total_ inability to generally prove outcomes, ultimately founded on the
    unproven thesis that all computability is encompassed by TM computing

    But it isn't just ONE classifier. He shows how to make an input that
    defeats ANY GIVEN classifier.

    ANY classifier tht tries to determine this classification, will be
    defeated by the input built by that template on it.

    Thus, ALL such classifiers will be wrong.

    Note, the arguement is not actually dependent on these being Turing
    Machines, but can be generalized to ANY method based on the general
    concept of "computing".


    i don't need to respond to that further

    Sure you do, or you are just admitting that you don't have an answer.



    It seems you are incapable of thinking abstractly, of even being able
    to conceive of something you didn't invent without an example.

    But you are also incapable of thinking concreately, because you don't
    understand the need to show that there is a reason you need to be able
    to show that the machines you imagine are possible.

    I will point out AGAIN, that these unknowable machines are not needed
    to be understood to understand the uncomputable nature of the problem
    (They just come out as an effect of that).






    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and
    therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_

    So? What that proves is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually acheive >>>>>> the goal defined for turing_D, a machine that determines if a
    given machine is circle-free.


    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and _NOTHING >>>>>>> MORE_, and _DESERVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION_ beyond the
    recognition that such an interface _IS INCOMPLETE_

    No, it prove that the interface is uncomputable, and no such
    machine exists.

    BECAUSE IT'S INCOMPLETE. AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ THAT DOES
    NOT HANDLE ALL INPUT SITUATIONS CANNOT EXIST

    The Specification of the INTERFACE is complete, it fully defines
    what the given machine must do.

    imagine trying to argue a machine that can't exist, because it didn't
    handle all input situations, as "complete"

    In other words, you can't understand the difference between a
    specification of an interface, and the specification of a machine.

    IT DOESN'T "SPECIFY A MACHINE" BECAUSE IT'S _NOT_ A MACHINE DESCRIPTION,

    IT _SPECIFIES AN INTERFACE_, ONE THAT IS TOO INCOMPLETE TO BE COMPUTED
    BY A MACHINE

    So, neither is your "machine" an actual machine, as all YOU have is an "interface" that determines your partial classification that isn't
    actually implemented.

    Turing's H, CAN be built from ANY actual machine that we want to try to
    claim might be a possible implementation of Turing's D. And all of these
    WILL BE actual machines, and ALL of them are shown to not produce the
    correct answer for Turing's H. Thus, there can not be any machine that
    does what D is supposed to do.

    On the other hand, YOU try to claim your fixed_H is an atual machine,
    but it isn't until you actually define your partial_decider_D, which you
    can't do, so your's isn't a machine either.

    And, it turns out that any machine that you want to try to claim is an implementation of your partial decider will either accept a machine that
    will hang your fixed_H, or will not accept any machine for some
    computable number. We may not be able to directly prove this like Turing
    Did, but Rice's proof shows that it can't be done, and your arguement
    that we need to find it is just you exercising the fallacy of asserting
    that Russel's Teapot must exist if we can't prove it doesn't.



    By your own logic, YOUR machine is INCOMPLETE, as you can't give the
    actual specific algorithm it uses. Your "logic" is based on ASSUMING
    that something is computable, with absolutely ZERO evidence that it is.

    In other words, you live in a world of fantasy



    The Specification of the interface is uncomputable, or unrealizable,
    because we can't make a machine that fullfills it.

    Yes, the specification of the ALGORITHM is incomplete, as we don't
    specify how to do all the steps, but then so is yours.

    Turing, BECAUSE he used an unspecified algorithm for his D, was able
    to actually PROVE that the specification for the interface of D was
    unimplementable.

    All your arguement has done is shown that if magic fairy dust
    powered unicorns exists (which they don't), you could use one of
    them to built an (also non-existant) program to compute something
    that is actually proven to be uncomputable.

    All you have done is proven you don't understand how logic works,
    and thus your works SHOULD BE IGNORED.



    If you want to be consistant, YOUR partial_decider_D is ALSO
    incomplete,

    IT'S NOT INCOMPLETE AS IT HANDLES ALL INPUT SITUATIONS

    That isn't what "Incomplete", means, as your partial_decider_D
    doesn't exist so it can't handle ANY input situations.

    YOU HAVEN'T DEMONSTRATED A CONTRADICTION WITH PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D,
    SO YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN IT TO NOT EXIST...

    In other words, you assert the existance of Russel's teapot.

    The "contradiction" is in the fact that you concept of "undecidable
    input" just is nonsense.

    u know exactly what i'm talking about when i say /undecidable input/, u
    just refuse to acknowledge anything i say as correct. because as soon as that damn breaks, ur whole position gets flooded with truth

    Right, I know you mean an input that the given decider is just wrong about.

    Any other definition is just a lie.



    How is it different then inputs that the specific decider is just
    wrong able.

    Describe how you define that property based on JUST the specific input
    itself and the specific decider.

    Your world is based on variable constants and similar nonsense.



    You don't get it, that if you want to put down Turing's machines for
    not handling cases, you need to also accept that yours doesn't for
    the same reason, a machine that fully meets your specifaction can't
    exist.

    And part of the reason for yours, is that you have a nonsense term
    in your definition, as there is no such thing as a "undecidable
    input" if some other decider can get the known right answer.

    Part of your problem is you just don't understand what a PROGRAM or
    ALGORITHM actually is


    as you haven't specified HOW it does what it does, just lie turing >>>>>> didn't define how his D was to do its work.

    Your problem is that Turing's goal was to prove that no such
    machine could exist, which he succeeded at, but YOUR claim is that >>>>>> such a thing might be able to exist, which you just have not proven. >>>>>>


    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute >>>>>>>> the answer to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, which >>>>>>>> means you have chosen a particular (broken) implementation of D >>>>>>>> (since no actually correct D exists), like your
    partial_recognizer_D, has fulled defined behavior, and a decider >>>>>>>> can exist that determines it, there is nothing "undecidable"
    about that input.

    It is just that the D that H was built on is wrong. Nothing
    "paradoxical" about a machine being wrong.

    again, wrong is a _NON-TECHNICAL VALUE ASSESSMENT_ based on you >>>>>>> just _IGNORING_ the specification i specifically created for
    partial_recognizer_D...

    No, your problem is you just are too stupid to understand that
    your "specification" is just nonsense, as it assumes that you can >>>>>> perform a test by "changing" the decider and the input to see a
    results.

    But the specification is about a particular input and decider.


    the specification for partial_recognizer_D is when encountering >>>>>>> undecidable input is to utilize FALSE,

    But there is no such thing as an "undecidable input", your
    definition is just internally inconsistantly trying to define
    input that the decider gets wrong. Since the class the partial

    In other words, you admit that you words are just lies and don't
    mean what they say.

    Your "undecidable" isn't about decidability, but correctness of a >>>>>> given decider.

    YES, THAT'S ALL UNDECIDABILITY EVER WAS

    In other words you are admitting you don't know what you are talking
    about.

    A given decider being incorrect doesn't mean a correct decider
    doesn't exist. There are many decidable problems, for which
    incorrect deciders can exist.

    Undecidability is about the being NO correct deciders.

    YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SHOW A MACHINE WHICH HAS NO CORRECT CLASSIFIERS FOR...

    Because I don't need to.

    YOU'VE ONLY SHOWN THAT FOR ANY CLASSIFIER THERE EXISTS A MACHINE IT
    CAN'T CLASSIFY...

    NOT THAT THERE EXISTS A MACHINE THAT CAN'T BE CLASSIFIED...

    But I don't need to.

    The uncomputability of that classification is proven by the first.

    The existance of the second class of machine is just something more,
    that is clearly beyond your understanding.



    All that is needed to prove a problem is uncomputable is to show that
    you can make an input for any given decider that it is wrong about.

    THAT ONLY SHOWS THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE COMPUTED BY A _SINGLE_ MACHINE

    Right, or any effectively enumerable set of machine, since we can then
    build the single machine that tests all of them.

    And that *IS* the definition of computable,



    You don't seem to understand the problem.

    YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEEN PROVEN

    Sure I do, you just admitted what I have said is proven, that the
    problem is not computable, which means there does not exist a single
    machine that correctly computes all the answers.







    This means that the trivial always false machine meets your

    NO, THE FAILURE TO CLASSIFY MUST COME FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE
    INPUT, NOT AN INCORRECT ALGO OF THE CLASSIFIER, WHY AM I REPEATING
    ME ON THIS?

    In other words, you think people/machines can't make mistakes?

    BEING UNABLE TO CLASSIFY /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ IS _NOT_ A MISTAKE ON
    BEHALF OF THE CLASSIFIER

    But the input isn't "undecidable", as that isn't an actual property of
    an input.

    IT IS _CAUSED_ *BY THE STRUCTURE OF THE INPUT*

    No, as the input is fully decidable by some other decider, and thus
    there is nothing "undecidable" about it.

    It is just that the method will always find a flaw in the algorithm of
    that specific decider, making it just wrong.



    Your logic is just based on category errors, based on your own stupidity.



    Then why are you worried about proofs of correctness.

    You don't seem to understand that the whole basis of these proofs
    isn't about finding *A* input that nothing can decide on, but
    finding a pattern that makes an input for a given decider that it
    won't be able to handle.

    That pattern isn't actually something that necessarily remains in
    the machine after construction, but direction to find a given
    algorithms fatal flaw, showing that ALL algorithms for that problem
    must have a fatal flaw which can be different for every one.

    oh wow GREAT CATCH RICK!!!!,

    _THAT'S ANOTHER ERROR IN HIS PROOF_

    *WE CAN ENUMERATE OUT ALL COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES, WITHOUT
    ENUMERATING OUT ALL CIRCLE_FREE MACHINES*,

    Show it.

    what??? bro ur the one who informed me proper enumerations can only >>>>> have *one* instance of each element enumerated,

    and we all know that the total enumeration of machines has infinite >>>>> machines producing each computable numbers...

    so therefore not only can the enumeration of computable numbers be
    done without enumerating all circle-free machines, it *MUST* be
    done without enumerating all circle-free machines, as we can output >>>>> *ONLY* one machine for each computable number

    that should suffice

    In other words, you are admitting you can't do it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and
    honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER, THERE ARE _INFINITE_ MACHINES
    WHICH COMPUTE IT ...

    I fully understand that.


    WE ONLY NEED TO CLASSIFY _ONE_ OF THOSE MACHINES TO ADD THAT GIVEN
    COMPUTABLE NUMBER THE LIST, THE REST NOT ONLY CAN, BUT MUST, BE IGNORED

    Right, and you need to PROVE that you can.

    IT'S ENOUGH TO REFUTE A *KEYSTONE* POINT IN TURING'S PAPER

    Nope, claiming that there might exist a machine, that doesn't actually
    exist, doesn't prove anything.


    THE REST OF THE PAPER IS PRETTY MUCH VOID DUE TO TURING CONFLATING THE ENUMERATION OF COMPUTABLE NUMBERS WITH THAT OF MACHINES THAT COMPUTE COMPUTATIONAL NUMBERS

    No, he shows that there does exist a problem that a decider can not
    decide on. That shows that the Hilbert Entscheidungsproblem can not have
    a solution, which is his real goal.

    Note, on page 246 he sketches out the proof, noting that *IF* the
    computable numbers WERE effective enumerable (what he calls just
    enumerable), then we could compute that anti-diagonal by thus doing that enumeration and selecting the appropriate digits.

    He also points out that this gets to the feeling that "there must be
    something wrong" (even though the logic is perfectly correct).>>

    THEREFOR, WE DO _NOT_ NEED A CLASSIFIER WITH THE POWER TO COMPUTE
    WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN MACHINE IS A COMPUTABLE NUMBER, WE ONLY NEED A
    CLASSIFIER WITH ENOUGH POWER TO CLASSIFIER _ONE OF THE INFINITE_
    MACHINES FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    Right, you need to PROVE that you can build a classifier that will
    select at least one machine for every computable number.

    You can't just assume your decider exists, you need to show HOW it works.

    Since you concept is based on identifing the "undeciable inputs", you
    need to show how you actually will do it, which means you need to
    define it in a way that is detectable.

    i already demonstrated the basic idea several times

    No, you haven't, as your "demonstartion" always violates the defintion
    of a machine and an input.

    How is your definition anything different that an input that this
    machine gets wrong.

    After all, when you talk about changing the decider, that doesn't
    actualy change the input, since that changed decider is NOT the original decider, and thus the actual input doesn't change.


    actually building a partial_recognizer for all possible computable
    numbers is a research question far outside the scope of this discussion since it involves open questions in number theory we don't even have
    answers to

    No, it is a fundamental assumption of your claim, that is in direct
    opposition to the proofs.

    Your arguement is just that you must be allowed to just assume Russel's
    teapot exist without proof.






    There is no inherent reason you can pull an infinite subset out of a
    similarly infinite set.

    We can enumerate the primes, even though for every prime there is an
    infinite number of composite numbers that are multiples of it, thus
    your logic is based on an error.



    THe fact that he quote an equivalence that he doesn't prove he
    doesn't make his proof incorrect.


    SO THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN
    NUMBER IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE,

    Prove it.

    there's nothing to prove, the statement is self-evident given the
    previous two paragraphs i wrote. we don't need to be able to output >>>>> it for *ANY* given machine, we only need to be able to output that
    fact for *ONE* machine of the infinite which produces *ANY* given
    compute number

    honestly i'm not sure why it's take until year 2026 for someone to
    point this out


    In other words, you are just admitting that you understanding of the
    problem isn't sufficent to deal with it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and
    honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER
    IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE, AS WE DO NOT NEED TO IDENTIFY _ALL_ CIRCLE-
    FREE MACHINES, JUST _ONE FOR EACH_ COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    So, you need to show that you CAN do that.

    Turing points out that they are computationally related, and I will

    being related does _not_ make them the _same problem_,

    Right, and he doesn't say they are. he says they are an "equivalent"
    problem, i.e there is a strong relation to each other (so they either
    both have or don't have an answer), that he has presumably proven
    somewhere else.

    Calling it an error without proof just shows your stupidity.


    and turing's proof *depends* on them being the _same problem_

    No, since his ultimate goal is the proof is about the Hilbert Entscheidungsproblem, which was the big question of the day.

    To show is proof is wrong, *YOU* need to show that they problems are NOT equivalent.


    beleive him more that you how claims you can do one without showing how.

    You have ADMITTED your ignorance of the field, having looked at only a
    very few of the papers, I suspect there was something discussed

    this is suspicion that is easily dealt with using search tools. but
    instead of backing up that suspicion ur just continuing to be suspect,
    and i'm never gunna buy it


    Really? and how much of the early papers have actually been preserved
    and put into something searchable?

    How much of the actual presentations of the various conferences have
    been transcribed and put into search engines?

    The fact that he makes the passing reference to it, and no one in that
    error jumped on that is a good sign that it was accepted.

    As I said, prove him wrong or that the conclusion is wrong by ACTUALLY
    showing how to do what he claims can't be done. And them needs more than assuming you can make a decider that does the real work.

    That is you just living off unicorn milk.


    somewhere about this, even if it wasn't as famous of a paper (as it
    wasn't so eathshaking by itself).



    Your problem is you are working on "gut instinct" with a gut that
    doesn't understand what it is talking about, because it thinks
    unicorns exist.




    we only need to compute that fact for *ONE* machine for any given >>>>>>> computable sequence, _SO A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER IS SUFFICIENT FOR >>>>>>> THE JOB_

    So do it.

    you ask too much for not recognizing anything i said as true

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly and
    honestly identify a self-evident concept

    Because is is just wrong, being based on category errors.

    As long as you just ASSUME you can do what you claim, you are just
    making a ASS out of yourself, proving that your "self-evident" is
    really a case o "self-delusion"



    Because it isn't, and you have no proofs, because you can't actually
    prove a false statement.

    Part of your problem is you don't actually know much about what you
    are talking, so you have nothing to work with,

    not sure what ur problem is

    That you just don't know what your words mean, and you just
    refuse to learn.

    Try to actually fully DEFINE the word based on the actual

    No, because an enumeration of a set doesn't HAVE duplicates.

    then the H's as of now are i suppose "generators" instead of
    enumerators

    and turing was wrong about that too, but i don't see u
    criticizing him now eh???

    H is a generator, its goal was to generate a particual number.

    it's goal was a generate a diagonal across all circle-free machines, >>>>>
    which as you said: is *NOT* an enumeration, and an enumeration
    required duplicating the machines

    Right, but the result it is generating is BASED (and defined) on a
    given enumeration which it computes internally).

    Your Fixed_H isn't computing anything with a defined specification,
    as your "enumeration" that you claim to be based on, isn't actually
    an enumeration that meets your claimed requirement.



    D is a decider, that allowed H, in its generation, to produce
    (internally) the enumeration that its results were defined by,

    It seems you don't understand that to reach your goal, sometimes
    you have to acheive a sub-goal that is quite different.

    because it *only* ever *was* about problematic input to

    Except that isn't what "Undecidability" is about. And you are

    In other words, you are admitting I am right and need to resort to
    the fallacy of swearing to distract others from that basic fact.

    i don't have a response anymore to the level of stupidity required
    to keep bleating on and on about being so certain of machines it
    would be a contradiction to even produce an example of...

    In other words, you are just addmitting that you are too stupid to
    understand the possiblity of something being unknowable.

    all u have is an ill conceived notion based on the fallacy that _one_
    classifier's failure to classify, can be overgeneralized to a _total_
    inability to generally prove outcomes, ultimately founded on the
    unproven thesis that all computability is encompassed by TM computing

    But it isn't just ONE classifier. He shows how to make an input that
    defeats ANY GIVEN classifier.

    ANY classifier tht tries to determine this classification, will be
    defeated by the input built by that template on it.

    Thus, ALL such classifiers will be wrong.

    Note, the arguement is not actually dependent on these being Turing Machines, but can be generalized to ANY method based on the general
    concept of "computing".


    i don't need to respond to that further

    Sure you do, or you are just admitting that you don't have an answer.

    nope 🤷




    It seems you are incapable of thinking abstractly, of even being able
    to conceive of something you didn't invent without an example.

    But you are also incapable of thinking concreately, because you don't
    understand the need to show that there is a reason you need to be
    able to show that the machines you imagine are possible.

    I will point out AGAIN, that these unknowable machines are not needed
    to be understood to understand the uncomputable nature of the problem
    (They just come out as an effect of that).






    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and >>>>>>>> therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_

    So? What that proves is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually acheive >>>>>>> the goal defined for turing_D, a machine that determines if a
    given machine is circle-free.


    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and _NOTHING >>>>>>>> MORE_, and _DESERVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION_ beyond the
    recognition that such an interface _IS INCOMPLETE_

    No, it prove that the interface is uncomputable, and no such
    machine exists.

    BECAUSE IT'S INCOMPLETE. AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ THAT DOES
    NOT HANDLE ALL INPUT SITUATIONS CANNOT EXIST

    The Specification of the INTERFACE is complete, it fully defines
    what the given machine must do.

    imagine trying to argue a machine that can't exist, because it
    didn't handle all input situations, as "complete"

    In other words, you can't understand the difference between a
    specification of an interface, and the specification of a machine.

    IT DOESN'T "SPECIFY A MACHINE" BECAUSE IT'S _NOT_ A MACHINE DESCRIPTION,

    IT _SPECIFIES AN INTERFACE_, ONE THAT IS TOO INCOMPLETE TO BE COMPUTED
    BY A MACHINE

    So, neither is your "machine" an actual machine, as all YOU have is an "interface" that determines your partial classification that isn't
    actually implemented.

    AN INTERFACE THAT CAN EXIST IS A FUCKTON MORE THAN WHAT YOU'VE GOT


    Turing's H, CAN be built from ANY actual machine that we want to try to claim might be a possible implementation of Turing's D. And all of these WILL BE actual machines, and ALL of them are shown to not produce the correct answer for Turing's H. Thus, there can not be any machine that
    does what D is supposed to do.

    On the other hand, YOU try to claim your fixed_H is an atual machine,
    but it isn't until you actually define your partial_decider_D, which you can't do, so your's isn't a machine either.

    IT'S NOT A CONTRADICTION FOR THOSE MACHINES TO EXIST, EI: THE
    SPECIFICATION IS NOT INCOMPLETE,

    UNLIKE THE INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION YOU PARADE AROUND AS MEANINGFUL


    And, it turns out that any machine that you want to try to claim is an implementation of your partial decider will either accept a machine that will hang your fixed_H, or will not accept any machine for some
    computable number.

    _TOTALLY UNPROVEN STATEMENT_

    We may not be able to directly prove this like Turing

    WTF??? IF U CAN'T PROVE IT THEN STOP ASSERTING IT AS TRUE

    Did, but Rice's proof shows that it can't be done, and your arguement

    RICE'S PROOF IS _BASED_ ON TURING'S PROOF, YOU CAN'T USE IT INSTEAD OF TURING'S ... LOL

    fking tard

    that we need to find it is just you exercising the fallacy of asserting
    that Russel's Teapot must exist if we can't prove it doesn't.



    By your own logic, YOUR machine is INCOMPLETE, as you can't give the
    actual specific algorithm it uses. Your "logic" is based on ASSUMING
    that something is computable, with absolutely ZERO evidence that it is.

    In other words, you live in a world of fantasy



    The Specification of the interface is uncomputable, or
    unrealizable, because we can't make a machine that fullfills it.

    Yes, the specification of the ALGORITHM is incomplete, as we don't
    specify how to do all the steps, but then so is yours.

    Turing, BECAUSE he used an unspecified algorithm for his D, was
    able to actually PROVE that the specification for the interface of
    D was unimplementable.

    All your arguement has done is shown that if magic fairy dust
    powered unicorns exists (which they don't), you could use one of
    them to built an (also non-existant) program to compute something
    that is actually proven to be uncomputable.

    All you have done is proven you don't understand how logic works,
    and thus your works SHOULD BE IGNORED.



    If you want to be consistant, YOUR partial_decider_D is ALSO
    incomplete,

    IT'S NOT INCOMPLETE AS IT HANDLES ALL INPUT SITUATIONS

    That isn't what "Incomplete", means, as your partial_decider_D
    doesn't exist so it can't handle ANY input situations.

    YOU HAVEN'T DEMONSTRATED A CONTRADICTION WITH PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D,
    SO YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN IT TO NOT EXIST...

    In other words, you assert the existance of Russel's teapot.

    The "contradiction" is in the fact that you concept of "undecidable
    input" just is nonsense.

    u know exactly what i'm talking about when i say /undecidable input/,
    u just refuse to acknowledge anything i say as correct. because as
    soon as that damn breaks, ur whole position gets flooded with truth

    Right, I know you mean an input that the given decider is just wrong about.

    LOL, BEING IN SPEC IT NOT _WRONG_


    Any other definition is just a lie.

    LOL, BEING IN SPEC IS NOT A _LIE_




    How is it different then inputs that the specific decider is just
    wrong able.

    Describe how you define that property based on JUST the specific
    input itself and the specific decider.

    Your world is based on variable constants and similar nonsense.



    You don't get it, that if you want to put down Turing's machines
    for not handling cases, you need to also accept that yours doesn't
    for the same reason, a machine that fully meets your specifaction
    can't exist.

    And part of the reason for yours, is that you have a nonsense term
    in your definition, as there is no such thing as a "undecidable
    input" if some other decider can get the known right answer.

    Part of your problem is you just don't understand what a PROGRAM or >>>>> ALGORITHM actually is


    as you haven't specified HOW it does what it does, just lie
    turing didn't define how his D was to do its work.

    Your problem is that Turing's goal was to prove that no such
    machine could exist, which he succeeded at, but YOUR claim is
    that such a thing might be able to exist, which you just have not >>>>>>> proven.



    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute >>>>>>>>> the answer to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, which >>>>>>>>> means you have chosen a particular (broken) implementation of D >>>>>>>>> (since no actually correct D exists), like your

    But there is no such thing as an "undecidable input", your

    talking about.

    A given decider being incorrect doesn't mean a correct decider
    doesn't exist. There are many decidable problems, for which
    incorrect deciders can exist.

    Undecidability is about the being NO correct deciders.

    The uncomputability of that classification is proven by the first.

    ALL THAT'S BEEN SHOWN IS _ONE_ MACHINE CAN'T CLASSIFY ALL MACHINEs.

    IT DOES NOT THE SHOW THERE IS MACHINE THAT *CANNOT* BE CLASSIFIED BY
    *ANY* MACHINE

    THOSE ARE _DIFFERENT_ CLAIMS, REGARDLESS OF U JUST CONFLATING THEM
    BECAUSE UR GETTING DESPERATE


    The existance of the second class of machine is just something more,
    that is clearly beyond your understanding.



    All that is needed to prove a problem is uncomputable is to show that
    you can make an input for any given decider that it is wrong about.

    THAT ONLY SHOWS THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE COMPUTED BY A _SINGLE_ MACHINE

    Right, or any effectively enumerable set of machine, since we can then
    build the single machine that tests all of them.

    And that *IS* the definition of computable,

    BECAUSE UR JUST ASSUMING THE CT-THESIS AS TRUE, WHICH IS NOT PROVEN




    You don't seem to understand the problem.

    YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEEN PROVEN

    Sure I do, you just admitted what I have said is proven, that the

    LOL, UR CLAIMS ARE GETTING MORE GARBAGE BY THE POST
    problem is not computable, which means there does not exist a single
    machine that correctly computes all the answers.







    This means that the trivial always false machine meets your

    NO, THE FAILURE TO CLASSIFY MUST COME FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE
    INPUT, NOT AN INCORRECT ALGO OF THE CLASSIFIER, WHY AM I REPEATING >>>>>> ME ON THIS?

    In other words, you think people/machines can't make mistakes?

    BEING UNABLE TO CLASSIFY /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ IS _NOT_ A MISTAKE ON
    BEHALF OF THE CLASSIFIER

    But the input isn't "undecidable", as that isn't an actual property
    of an input.

    IT IS _CAUSED_ *BY THE STRUCTURE OF THE INPUT*

    No, as the input is fully decidable by some other decider, and thus
    there is nothing "undecidable" about it.

    RIGHT, THAT'S BECAUSE UNDECIDABILITY IS ONLY DEFINED AS A RELATIONSHIP
    BETWEEN A MACHINE AND A PARTICULAR CLASSIFIER PARADOXES BY THAT MACHINE

    THERE _NEVER_ HAS BEEN _ANY_ OTHER FORM OF PROVEN UNDECIDABILITY WITHIN COMPUTING,

    AND UR DOING FUCK ALL TO PROVE ANOTHER FORM EXISTS


    It is just that the method will always find a flaw in the algorithm of
    that specific decider, making it just wrong.



    Your logic is just based on category errors, based on your own
    stupidity.



    Then why are you worried about proofs of correctness.

    You don't seem to understand that the whole basis of these proofs
    isn't about finding *A* input that nothing can decide on, but
    finding a pattern that makes an input for a given decider that it
    won't be able to handle.

    That pattern isn't actually something that necessarily remains in

    oh wow GREAT CATCH RICK!!!!,

    _THAT'S ANOTHER ERROR IN HIS PROOF_

    *WE CAN ENUMERATE OUT ALL COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES, WITHOUT
    ENUMERATING OUT ALL CIRCLE_FREE MACHINES*,

    Show it.

    what??? bro ur the one who informed me proper enumerations can
    only have *one* instance of each element enumerated,

    and we all know that the total enumeration of machines has
    infinite machines producing each computable numbers...

    so therefore not only can the enumeration of computable numbers be >>>>>> done without enumerating all circle-free machines, it *MUST* be
    done without enumerating all circle-free machines, as we can
    output *ONLY* one machine for each computable number

    that should suffice

    In other words, you are admitting you can't do it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly
    and honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER, THERE ARE _INFINITE_ MACHINES
    WHICH COMPUTE IT ...

    I fully understand that.


    WE ONLY NEED TO CLASSIFY _ONE_ OF THOSE MACHINES TO ADD THAT GIVEN
    COMPUTABLE NUMBER THE LIST, THE REST NOT ONLY CAN, BUT MUST, BE IGNORED >>>
    Right, and you need to PROVE that you can.

    IT'S ENOUGH TO REFUTE A *KEYSTONE* POINT IN TURING'S PAPER

    Nope, claiming that there might exist a machine, that doesn't actually exist, doesn't prove anything.

    WHAT??? TURING CONFLATING THE ENUMERATION OF ALL CIRCLE-FREE MACHINES
    WITH THAT OF JUST COMPUTABLE NUMBERS IS JUST WRONG, REGARDLESS OF WHAT
    IS FOUND TO BE POSSIBLE AFTER

    fking tard LOL



    THE REST OF THE PAPER IS PRETTY MUCH VOID DUE TO TURING CONFLATING THE
    ENUMERATION OF COMPUTABLE NUMBERS WITH THAT OF MACHINES THAT COMPUTE
    COMPUTATIONAL NUMBERS

    No, he shows that there does exist a problem that a decider can not
    decide on. That shows that the Hilbert Entscheidungsproblem can not have
    a solution, which is his real goal.

    Note, on page 246 he sketches out the proof, noting that *IF* the
    computable numbers WERE effective enumerable (what he calls just enumerable), then we could compute that anti-diagonal by thus doing that enumeration and selecting the appropriate digits.

    _THAT IS ALSO A FALLACY_

    THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF TM COMPUTING DO NOT ALLOW THE USE OF A DIAGONAL TO
    THEN COMPUTE AN ANTI-DIAGONAL

    YOU'RE NOT GOING TO UNDERSTAND WHY UNTIL YOU WORK THRU THE FIX I MADE TO
    MAKE THE DIAGONAL COMPUTABLE, AND WORK THRU WHY THAT FIX DOES NOT WORK
    FOR THE ANTI-DIAGONAL COMPUTATION _EVEN HAVE A DIAGONAL AT HAND_


    He also points out that this gets to the feeling that "there must be something wrong" (even though the logic is perfectly correct).>>

    THEREFOR, WE DO _NOT_ NEED A CLASSIFIER WITH THE POWER TO COMPUTE
    WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN MACHINE IS A COMPUTABLE NUMBER, WE ONLY NEED A
    CLASSIFIER WITH ENOUGH POWER TO CLASSIFIER _ONE OF THE INFINITE_
    MACHINES FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    Right, you need to PROVE that you can build a classifier that will
    select at least one machine for every computable number.

    You can't just assume your decider exists, you need to show HOW it
    works.

    Since you concept is based on identifing the "undeciable inputs", you
    need to show how you actually will do it, which means you need to
    define it in a way that is detectable.

    i already demonstrated the basic idea several times

    No, you haven't, as your "demonstartion" always violates the defintion
    of a machine and an input.

    How is your definition anything different that an input that this
    machine gets wrong.

    After all, when you talk about changing the decider, that doesn't
    actualy change the input, since that changed decider is NOT the original decider, and thus the actual input doesn't change.


    actually building a partial_recognizer for all possible computable
    numbers is a research question far outside the scope of this
    discussion since it involves open questions in number theory we don't
    even have answers to

    No, it is a fundamental assumption of your claim, that is in direct opposition to the proofs.

    Your arguement is just that you must be allowed to just assume Russel's teapot exist without proof.






    There is no inherent reason you can pull an infinite subset out of
    a similarly infinite set.

    We can enumerate the primes, even though for every prime there is
    an infinite number of composite numbers that are multiples of it,
    thus your logic is based on an error.



    THe fact that he quote an equivalence that he doesn't prove he
    doesn't make his proof incorrect.


    SO THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_ >>>>>>>> EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN
    NUMBER IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE,

    Prove it.

    there's nothing to prove, the statement is self-evident given the >>>>>> previous two paragraphs i wrote. we don't need to be able to
    output it for *ANY* given machine, we only need to be able to
    output that fact for *ONE* machine of the infinite which produces >>>>>> *ANY* given compute number

    honestly i'm not sure why it's take until year 2026 for someone to >>>>>> point this out


    In other words, you are just admitting that you understanding of
    the problem isn't sufficent to deal with it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly
    and honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER
    IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE, AS WE DO NOT NEED TO IDENTIFY _ALL_
    CIRCLE- FREE MACHINES, JUST _ONE FOR EACH_ COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    So, you need to show that you CAN do that.

    Turing points out that they are computationally related, and I will

    being related does _not_ make them the _same problem_,

    Right, and he doesn't say they are. he says they are an "equivalent" problem, i.e there is a strong relation to each other (so they either
    both have or don't have an answer), that he has presumably proven
    somewhere else.

    Calling it an error without proof just shows your stupidity.

    FOR SOMEONE WHO A) UNDERSTANDS THE BASIC CONCEPTS INVOLVED, AND B) CAN
    THINK CRITICALLY,

    THE PROOF IS LITERALLY THE TWO PARAGRAPHS I ALREADY WROTE



    and turing's proof *depends* on them being the _same problem_

    No, since his ultimate goal is the proof is about the Hilbert Entscheidungsproblem, which was the big question of the day.

    IF HE'S ACTUALLY FAILED TO PROVE THE COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES AS NOT
    ENUMERABLE THEN THE PROOF FALLS APART, I'M SORRY


    To show is proof is wrong, *YOU* need to show that they problems are NOT equivalent.

    I ALREADY DID, SO YET AGAIN:

    ENUMERATING THE COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES ONLY REQUIRES THE LIMITED POWER TO IDENTIFY _ONE_ CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE FOR EACH COMPUTABLE SEQUENCE, _NOT_
    ALL CIRCLE-FREE MACHINES

    >
    > #god



    beleive him more that you how claims you can do one without showing how. >>>
    You have ADMITTED your ignorance of the field, having looked at only

    this is suspicion that is easily dealt with using search tools. but
    instead of backing up that suspicion ur just continuing to be suspect,
    and i'm never gunna buy it


    Really? and how much of the early papers have actually been preserved
    and put into something searchable?

    How much of the actual presentations of the various conferences have
    been transcribed and put into search engines?

    The fact that he makes the passing reference to it, and no one in that
    error jumped on that is a good sign that it was accepted.

    As I said, prove him wrong or that the conclusion is wrong by ACTUALLY showing how to do what he claims can't be done. And them needs more than assuming you can make a decider that does the real work.

    That is you just living off unicorn milk.


    somewhere about this, even if it wasn't as famous of a paper (as it
    wasn't so eathshaking by itself).



    Your problem is you are working on "gut instinct" with a gut that
    doesn't understand what it is talking about, because it thinks
    unicorns exist.




    we only need to compute that fact for *ONE* machine for any
    given computable sequence, _SO A PARTIAL RECOGNIZER IS
    SUFFICIENT FOR THE JOB_

    So do it.

    you ask too much for not recognizing anything i said as true

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly
    and honestly identify a self-evident concept

    Because is is just wrong, being based on category errors.

    As long as you just ASSUME you can do what you claim, you are just
    making a ASS out of yourself, proving that your "self-evident" is
    really a case o "self-delusion"



    Because it isn't, and you have no proofs, because you can't
    actually prove a false statement.

    Part of your problem is you don't actually know much about what you >>>>> are talking, so you have nothing to work with,




    fuck rick ur so bad at defending this it's actually really

    All you have shown so far is that you are too stupid to
    understand the nature of the paper.

    regerous proof of the concept. It was a paper, leaning on
    previous work done, and with the intent of more work to follow to >>>>>>> show the basic idea of why something was true.

    Thus, not showing how a step works, isn't an error.

    Now, to counter his claims, because they are so well accepted,

    i don't have a response anymore to the level of stupidity required
    to keep bleating on and on about being so certain of machines it
    would be a contradiction to even produce an example of...

    In other words, you are just addmitting that you are too stupid to
    understand the possiblity of something being unknowable.

    all u have is an ill conceived notion based on the fallacy that _one_
    classifier's failure to classify, can be overgeneralized to a _total_
    inability to generally prove outcomes, ultimately founded on the
    unproven thesis that all computability is encompassed by TM computing

    But it isn't just ONE classifier. He shows how to make an input that
    defeats ANY GIVEN classifier.

    ANY classifier tht tries to determine this classification, will be
    defeated by the input built by that template on it.

    Thus, ALL such classifiers will be wrong.

    Note, the arguement is not actually dependent on these being Turing
    Machines, but can be generalized to ANY method based on the general
    concept of "computing".


    i don't need to respond to that further

    Sure you do, or you are just admitting that you don't have an answer.

    nope 🤷

    In other words, you are just admitting you don't know how logic works.

    You are just admitting you are giving up on logic.





    It seems you are incapable of thinking abstractly, of even being
    able to conceive of something you didn't invent without an example.

    But you are also incapable of thinking concreately, because you
    don't understand the need to show that there is a reason you need to
    be able to show that the machines you imagine are possible.

    I will point out AGAIN, that these unknowable machines are not
    needed to be understood to understand the uncomputable nature of the
    problem (They just come out as an effect of that).






    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and >>>>>>>>> therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_ >>>>>>>>
    So? What that proves is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually

    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and
    _NOTHING MORE_, and _DESERVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION_ beyond >>>>>>>>> the recognition that such an interface _IS INCOMPLETE_

    No, it prove that the interface is uncomputable, and no such
    machine exists.

    BECAUSE IT'S INCOMPLETE. AN /INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION/ THAT DOES >>>>>>> NOT HANDLE ALL INPUT SITUATIONS CANNOT EXIST

    The Specification of the INTERFACE is complete, it fully defines
    what the given machine must do.

    imagine trying to argue a machine that can't exist, because it
    didn't handle all input situations, as "complete"

    In other words, you can't understand the difference between a
    specification of an interface, and the specification of a machine.

    IT DOESN'T "SPECIFY A MACHINE" BECAUSE IT'S _NOT_ A MACHINE DESCRIPTION, >>>
    IT _SPECIFIES AN INTERFACE_, ONE THAT IS TOO INCOMPLETE TO BE
    COMPUTED BY A MACHINE

    So, neither is your "machine" an actual machine, as all YOU have is an
    "interface" that determines your partial classification that isn't
    actually implemented.

    AN INTERFACE THAT CAN EXIST IS A FUCKTON MORE THAN WHAT YOU'VE GOT

    But it CAN'T work, as there is no actual machine to implement it.

    Just because you haven't seen the reason it doesn't exist, doesn't mean
    that it can exist.

    Prove me wrong, and show how you ARE going to make a machine satisfy the interface.

    Your problem is you don't understand that you need to use FAcTS and not
    just imaginary ideas.



    Turing's H, CAN be built from ANY actual machine that we want to try
    to claim might be a possible implementation of Turing's D. And all of
    these WILL BE actual machines, and ALL of them are shown to not
    produce the correct answer for Turing's H. Thus, there can not be any
    machine that does what D is supposed to do.

    On the other hand, YOU try to claim your fixed_H is an atual machine,
    but it isn't until you actually define your partial_decider_D, which
    you can't do, so your's isn't a machine either.

    IT'S NOT A CONTRADICTION FOR THOSE MACHINES TO EXIST, EI: THE
    SPECIFICATION IS NOT INCOMPLETE,

    Yes it is, you just haven't found it.


    UNLIKE THE INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION YOU PARADE AROUND AS MEANINGFUL

    But yours still don't exist.

    To ask me to prove otherwise is to assert that Russel's teapot does exist.



    And, it turns out that any machine that you want to try to claim is an
    implementation of your partial decider will either accept a machine
    that will hang your fixed_H, or will not accept any machine for some
    computable number.

    _TOTALLY UNPROVEN STATEMENT_

    Prove by Rice.

    Of cource, your problem is you assume that you can disprove a theorm by assuming the existance of a machine that doesn't actually exist.


    We may not be able to directly prove this like Turing

    WTF??? IF U CAN'T PROVE IT THEN STOP ASSERTING IT AS TRUE

    But it *IS* proven by Rice's theorem.

    Just like Turing's proof is correct, even if you can't understand the
    full nature of the proof.


    Did, but Rice's proof shows that it can't be done, and your arguement

    RICE'S PROOF IS _BASED_ ON TURING'S PROOF, YOU CAN'T USE IT INSTEAD OF TURING'S ... LOL

    Wrong. There are NUMEROUS variations of the proof, and you can't
    actually prove any of them actually incorrect, just that you don't
    understand some of the steps.

    Of course, YOUR "proof" is based on groundless assertions, so is even
    weaker than the proof you are trying to refute.

    If you can assume you can make your decider, Turing can assert that two problems are the same.

    The difference is that Turings claim can be proven, while yours can't be.


    fking tard

    It seeems you are just screwing yourself, as your only basis for
    claiming them wrong is that you are smoking the magic fairy dust from
    the Unicorn.


    that we need to find it is just you exercising the fallacy of
    asserting that Russel's Teapot must exist if we can't prove it doesn't.



    By your own logic, YOUR machine is INCOMPLETE, as you can't give the
    actual specific algorithm it uses. Your "logic" is based on ASSUMING
    that something is computable, with absolutely ZERO evidence that it is. >>>>
    In other words, you live in a world of fantasy



    The Specification of the interface is uncomputable, or
    unrealizable, because we can't make a machine that fullfills it.

    Yes, the specification of the ALGORITHM is incomplete, as we don't >>>>>> specify how to do all the steps, but then so is yours.

    Turing, BECAUSE he used an unspecified algorithm for his D, was
    able to actually PROVE that the specification for the interface of >>>>>> D was unimplementable.

    All your arguement has done is shown that if magic fairy dust
    powered unicorns exists (which they don't), you could use one of
    them to built an (also non-existant) program to compute something >>>>>> that is actually proven to be uncomputable.

    All you have done is proven you don't understand how logic works, >>>>>> and thus your works SHOULD BE IGNORED.



    If you want to be consistant, YOUR partial_decider_D is ALSO
    incomplete,

    IT'S NOT INCOMPLETE AS IT HANDLES ALL INPUT SITUATIONS

    That isn't what "Incomplete", means, as your partial_decider_D
    doesn't exist so it can't handle ANY input situations.

    YOU HAVEN'T DEMONSTRATED A CONTRADICTION WITH PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D, >>>>> SO YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN IT TO NOT EXIST...

    In other words, you assert the existance of Russel's teapot.

    The "contradiction" is in the fact that you concept of "undecidable
    input" just is nonsense.

    u know exactly what i'm talking about when i say /undecidable input/,
    u just refuse to acknowledge anything i say as correct. because as
    soon as that damn breaks, ur whole position gets flooded with truth

    Right, I know you mean an input that the given decider is just wrong
    about.

    LOL, BEING IN SPEC IT NOT _WRONG_

    NOt when the spec itself is a nonsense lie based on the misuse of words.

    Since a machine exists that can decide on that input, it is NOT
    "undecidable".

    The word that means that answer you machine gave doesn't satisy the BASE property you are talking about is that it was just wrong.

    "Can't" is not proper grammer for the behavior of a given machine, it
    just doesn't, as the only thing that a given machine CAN do is what it
    does, so there is no possibility for it to do otherwise.



    Any other definition is just a lie.

    LOL, BEING IN SPEC IS NOT A _LIE_


    If the spec is a lie it is.

    There is no such thing as an "undecidable input"

    Just wrong machines.

    And stupid dart's





    How is it different then inputs that the specific decider is just
    wrong able.

    Describe how you define that property based on JUST the specific
    input itself and the specific decider.

    Your world is based on variable constants and similar nonsense.



    You don't get it, that if you want to put down Turing's machines
    for not handling cases, you need to also accept that yours doesn't >>>>>> for the same reason, a machine that fully meets your specifaction >>>>>> can't exist.

    And part of the reason for yours, is that you have a nonsense term >>>>>> in your definition, as there is no such thing as a "undecidable
    input" if some other decider can get the known right answer.

    Part of your problem is you just don't understand what a PROGRAM
    or ALGORITHM actually is


    as you haven't specified HOW it does what it does, just lie
    turing didn't define how his D was to do its work.

    Your problem is that Turing's goal was to prove that no such
    machine could exist, which he succeeded at, but YOUR claim is >>>>>>>> that such a thing might be able to exist, which you just have >>>>>>>> not proven.

    this _DOES NOT MEAN_ we cannot know what the /undecidable

    In other words, you admit that you words are just lies and don't >>>>>>>> mean what they say.

    Your "undecidable" isn't about decidability, but correctness of >>>>>>>> a given decider.

    YES, THAT'S ALL UNDECIDABILITY EVER WAS

    In other words you are admitting you don't know what you are
    talking about.

    A given decider being incorrect doesn't mean a correct decider
    doesn't exist. There are many decidable problems, for which
    incorrect deciders can exist.

    Undecidability is about the being NO correct deciders.

    YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SHOW A MACHINE WHICH HAS NO CORRECT CLASSIFIERS
    FOR...

    Because I don't need to.

    YOU'VE ONLY SHOWN THAT FOR ANY CLASSIFIER THERE EXISTS A MACHINE IT
    CAN'T CLASSIFY...

    NOT THAT THERE EXISTS A MACHINE THAT CAN'T BE CLASSIFIED...

    But I don't need to.

    The uncomputability of that classification is proven by the first.

    ALL THAT'S BEEN SHOWN IS _ONE_ MACHINE CAN'T CLASSIFY ALL MACHINEs.

    And that the arguement can apply to ANY machine, since there was no restriction on what could be viewed as D


    IT DOES NOT THE SHOW THERE IS MACHINE THAT *CANNOT* BE CLASSIFIED BY
    *ANY* MACHINE

    Which it doesn't need to do.

    All you are doiing is proving you really don't know what you are talking about.


    THOSE ARE _DIFFERENT_ CLAIMS, REGARDLESS OF U JUST CONFLATING THEM
    BECAUSE UR GETTING DESPERATE

    And who is conflaiting them?

    Yes, I pointed out as an aside, that there exists machines that no know
    to be always correct partial decider can decide on, but that is NOT what Turing is proving here, and thus claiming he doesn't succeed at that
    just shows you don't know what you are talking about.



    The existance of the second class of machine is just something more,
    that is clearly beyond your understanding.



    All that is needed to prove a problem is uncomputable is to show
    that you can make an input for any given decider that it is wrong
    about.

    THAT ONLY SHOWS THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE COMPUTED BY A _SINGLE_ MACHINE

    Right, or any effectively enumerable set of machine, since we can then
    build the single machine that tests all of them.

    And that *IS* the definition of computable,

    BECAUSE UR JUST ASSUMING THE CT-THESIS AS TRUE, WHICH IS NOT PROVEN

    Nope. It seems you are just to stupid to understand the logic.

    Part of the problem is you just don't understand what the words mean.





    You don't seem to understand the problem.

    YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEEN PROVEN

    Sure I do, you just admitted what I have said is proven, that the

    LOL, UR CLAIMS ARE GETTING MORE GARBAGE BY THE POST

    Nope, you are just showing how stupid you are, because you don't know
    what the words you are trying to use mean.

    problem is not computable, which means there does not exist a single
    machine that correctly computes all the answers.







    This means that the trivial always false machine meets your

    NO, THE FAILURE TO CLASSIFY MUST COME FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE >>>>>>> INPUT, NOT AN INCORRECT ALGO OF THE CLASSIFIER, WHY AM I
    REPEATING ME ON THIS?

    In other words, you think people/machines can't make mistakes?

    BEING UNABLE TO CLASSIFY /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ IS _NOT_ A MISTAKE ON
    BEHALF OF THE CLASSIFIER

    But the input isn't "undecidable", as that isn't an actual property
    of an input.

    IT IS _CAUSED_ *BY THE STRUCTURE OF THE INPUT*

    No, as the input is fully decidable by some other decider, and thus
    there is nothing "undecidable" about it.

    RIGHT, THAT'S BECAUSE UNDECIDABILITY IS ONLY DEFINED AS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A MACHINE AND A PARTICULAR CLASSIFIER PARADOXES BY THAT MACHINE

    Nope.

    You are sure stupid about the meaning of the words.

    "Undecidability" is the property of a Problem / Classification rule to
    be properl carried out by ANY possible algorithm.


    THERE _NEVER_ HAS BEEN _ANY_ OTHER FORM OF PROVEN UNDECIDABILITY WITHIN COMPUTING,

    And where did you get your definition?

    Maybe you should read some of the elementary statements about it, like
    at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undecidable_problem

    "An undecidable problem is a decision problem for which it is proved to
    be impossible to construct an algorithm that always leads to a correct yes-or-no answer. "

    Note, no mention about the relationship to a machine (except that such a machine doesn't exist).


    AND UR DOING FUCK ALL TO PROVE ANOTHER FORM EXISTS

    Since your definition is just your own lies, YOU are the one making
    stuff up.




    It is just that the method will always find a flaw in the algorithm of
    that specific decider, making it just wrong.



    Your logic is just based on category errors, based on your own
    stupidity.



    Then why are you worried about proofs of correctness.

    You don't seem to understand that the whole basis of these proofs >>>>>> isn't about finding *A* input that nothing can decide on, but
    finding a pattern that makes an input for a given decider that it >>>>>> won't be able to handle.

    Show it.

    what??? bro ur the one who informed me proper enumerations can

    and we all know that the total enumeration of machines has
    infinite machines producing each computable numbers...

    so therefore not only can the enumeration of computable numbers >>>>>>> be done without enumerating all circle-free machines, it *MUST* >>>>>>> be done without enumerating all circle-free machines, as we can >>>>>>> output *ONLY* one machine for each computable number

    that should suffice

    In other words, you are admitting you can't do it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly
    and honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER, THERE ARE _INFINITE_ MACHINES
    WHICH COMPUTE IT ...

    I fully understand that.


    WE ONLY NEED TO CLASSIFY _ONE_ OF THOSE MACHINES TO ADD THAT GIVEN
    COMPUTABLE NUMBER THE LIST, THE REST NOT ONLY CAN, BUT MUST, BE
    IGNORED

    Right, and you need to PROVE that you can.

    IT'S ENOUGH TO REFUTE A *KEYSTONE* POINT IN TURING'S PAPER

    Nope, claiming that there might exist a machine, that doesn't actually
    exist, doesn't prove anything.

    WHAT??? TURING CONFLATING THE ENUMERATION OF ALL CIRCLE-FREE MACHINES
    WITH THAT OF JUST COMPUTABLE NUMBERS IS JUST WRONG, REGARDLESS OF WHAT
    IS FOUND TO BE POSSIBLE AFTER

    Can you show that they are not related?

    Or, is this just another "fact" out of your imagination.



    fking tard LOL



    THE REST OF THE PAPER IS PRETTY MUCH VOID DUE TO TURING CONFLATING
    THE ENUMERATION OF COMPUTABLE NUMBERS WITH THAT OF MACHINES THAT
    COMPUTE COMPUTATIONAL NUMBERS

    No, he shows that there does exist a problem that a decider can not
    decide on. That shows that the Hilbert Entscheidungsproblem can not
    have a solution, which is his real goal.

    Note, on page 246 he sketches out the proof, noting that *IF* the
    computable numbers WERE effective enumerable (what he calls just
    enumerable), then we could compute that anti-diagonal by thus doing
    that enumeration and selecting the appropriate digits.

    _THAT IS ALSO A FALLACY_

    THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF TM COMPUTING DO NOT ALLOW THE USE OF A DIAGONAL TO THEN COMPUTE AN ANTI-DIAGONAL

    Sure it does.

    Say you have a machine that prints out the diagonal of the enumeration.

    Take that machine, and just invert each write to one of the unchangeable cells, and reverse the operation of any read from an unchangable cell.

    Such a machine will trace the EXACT same path of states as the original,
    and output the anti-diagonal instead of the diagonal.

    If not, where does it go wrong?


    YOU'RE NOT GOING TO UNDERSTAND WHY UNTIL YOU WORK THRU THE FIX I MADE TO MAKE THE DIAGONAL COMPUTABLE, AND WORK THRU WHY THAT FIX DOES NOT WORK
    FOR THE ANTI-DIAGONAL COMPUTATION _EVEN HAVE A DIAGONAL AT HAND_

    So, what is wrong with what I said?

    The "anti-diagonal" program checks for the number of the diagonal
    program, but if you can make the self-referential program, you can make
    the other-referential program just like it.



    He also points out that this gets to the feeling that "there must be
    something wrong" (even though the logic is perfectly correct).>>

    THEREFOR, WE DO _NOT_ NEED A CLASSIFIER WITH THE POWER TO COMPUTE
    WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN MACHINE IS A COMPUTABLE NUMBER, WE ONLY NEED A
    CLASSIFIER WITH ENOUGH POWER TO CLASSIFIER _ONE OF THE INFINITE_
    MACHINES FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    Right, you need to PROVE that you can build a classifier that will
    select at least one machine for every computable number.

    You can't just assume your decider exists, you need to show HOW it
    works.

    Since you concept is based on identifing the "undeciable inputs",
    you need to show how you actually will do it, which means you need
    to define it in a way that is detectable.

    i already demonstrated the basic idea several times

    No, you haven't, as your "demonstartion" always violates the defintion
    of a machine and an input.

    How is your definition anything different that an input that this
    machine gets wrong.

    After all, when you talk about changing the decider, that doesn't
    actualy change the input, since that changed decider is NOT the
    original decider, and thus the actual input doesn't change.


    actually building a partial_recognizer for all possible computable
    numbers is a research question far outside the scope of this
    discussion since it involves open questions in number theory we don't
    even have answers to

    No, it is a fundamental assumption of your claim, that is in direct
    opposition to the proofs.

    Your arguement is just that you must be allowed to just assume
    Russel's teapot exist without proof.






    There is no inherent reason you can pull an infinite subset out of >>>>>> a similarly infinite set.

    We can enumerate the primes, even though for every prime there is >>>>>> an infinite number of composite numbers that are multiples of it, >>>>>> thus your logic is based on an error.



    THe fact that he quote an equivalence that he doesn't prove he >>>>>>>> doesn't make his proof incorrect.


    SO THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_ >>>>>>>>> EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN >>>>>>>>> NUMBER IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE,

    In other words, you are just admitting that you understanding of
    the problem isn't sufficent to deal with it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly
    and honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN NUMBER >>>>> IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE, AS WE DO NOT NEED TO IDENTIFY _ALL_
    CIRCLE- FREE MACHINES, JUST _ONE FOR EACH_ COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    So, you need to show that you CAN do that.

    Turing points out that they are computationally related, and I will

    being related does _not_ make them the _same problem_,

    Right, and he doesn't say they are. he says they are an "equivalent"
    problem, i.e there is a strong relation to each other (so they either
    both have or don't have an answer), that he has presumably proven
    somewhere else.

    Calling it an error without proof just shows your stupidity.

    FOR SOMEONE WHO A) UNDERSTANDS THE BASIC CONCEPTS INVOLVED, AND B) CAN
    THINK CRITICALLY,

    THE PROOF IS LITERALLY THE TWO PARAGRAPHS I ALREADY WROTE


    Nope, it assume the existance of something that isn't actualy proven to
    exist, and turns out can't be.

    You seem to fail at basic knowledge of how logic works, which explains
    why you logic is just so stupid.



    and turing's proof *depends* on them being the _same problem_

    No, since his ultimate goal is the proof is about the Hilbert
    Entscheidungsproblem, which was the big question of the day.

    IF HE'S ACTUALLY FAILED TO PROVE THE COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES AS NOT
    ENUMERABLE THEN THE PROOF FALLS APART, I'M SORRY


    He proved the circle-free machies are not enumerable, which is at least
    a similar problem, which also proves his point.



    To show is proof is wrong, *YOU* need to show that they problems are
    NOT equivalent.

    I ALREADY DID, SO YET AGAIN:

    ENUMERATING THE COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES ONLY REQUIRES THE LIMITED POWER TO IDENTIFY _ONE_ CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE FOR EACH COMPUTABLE SEQUENCE, _NOT_
    ALL CIRCLE-FREE MACHINES

    Which you can't prove you can do.


      > THAT'S LITERALLY THE PROOF RIGHT THERE
      >
      > #god

    So, how do you prove that your partial decider does that?

    Your "proof" is based on basic fallacies, showing you fail to understand
    basic logic.




    beleive him more that you how claims you can do one without showing
    how.

    You have ADMITTED your ignorance of the field, having looked at only
    a very few of the papers, I suspect there was something discussed

    this is suspicion that is easily dealt with using search tools. but
    instead of backing up that suspicion ur just continuing to be
    suspect, and i'm never gunna buy it


    Really? and how much of the early papers have actually been preserved
    and put into something searchable?

    How much of the actual presentations of the various conferences have
    been transcribed and put into search engines?

    The fact that he makes the passing reference to it, and no one in that
    error jumped on that is a good sign that it was accepted.

    As I said, prove him wrong or that the conclusion is wrong by ACTUALLY
    showing how to do what he claims can't be done. And them needs more
    than assuming you can make a decider that does the real work.

    That is you just living off unicorn milk.


    somewhere about this, even if it wasn't as famous of a paper (as it
    wasn't so eathshaking by itself).



    Your problem is you are working on "gut instinct" with a gut that >>>>>> doesn't understand what it is talking about, because it thinks

    you ask too much for not recognizing anything i said as true

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly
    and honestly identify a self-evident concept

    Because is is just wrong, being based on category errors.

    As long as you just ASSUME you can do what you claim, you are just
    making a ASS out of yourself, proving that your "self-evident" is
    really a case o "self-delusion"



    Because it isn't, and you have no proofs, because you can't
    actually prove a false statement.

    Part of your problem is you don't actually know much about what
    you are talking, so you have nothing to work with,




    fuck rick ur so bad at defending this it's actually really

    (there's *another* specific sentence i have a problem with, >>>>>>>>> where's a ben when u need him?)

    All you have shown so far is that you are too stupid to
    understand the nature of the paper.

    Note, it was NOT intended to be the end-all self-contained

    In other words, you are just addmitting that you are too stupid to
    understand the possiblity of something being unknowable.

    all u have is an ill conceived notion based on the fallacy that
    _one_ classifier's failure to classify, can be overgeneralized to a
    _total_ inability to generally prove outcomes, ultimately founded on
    the unproven thesis that all computability is encompassed by TM
    computing

    But it isn't just ONE classifier. He shows how to make an input that
    defeats ANY GIVEN classifier.

    ANY classifier tht tries to determine this classification, will be
    defeated by the input built by that template on it.

    Thus, ALL such classifiers will be wrong.

    Note, the arguement is not actually dependent on these being Turing
    Machines, but can be generalized to ANY method based on the general
    concept of "computing".


    i don't need to respond to that further

    Sure you do, or you are just admitting that you don't have an answer.

    nope 🤷

    In other words, you are just admitting you don't know how logic works.

    you are just admitting you don't know how gaslighting works...


    You are just admitting you are giving up on logic.





    It seems you are incapable of thinking abstractly, of even being
    able to conceive of something you didn't invent without an example.

    But you are also incapable of thinking concreately, because you
    don't understand the need to show that there is a reason you need
    to be able to show that the machines you imagine are possible.

    I will point out AGAIN, that these unknowable machines are not
    needed to be understood to understand the uncomputable nature of
    the problem (They just come out as an effect of that).






    both turing_H and turing_D are /incomplete specifications/ and >>>>>>>>>> therefore _AREN'T POSSIBLE MACHINES_ let alone _REAL MACHINES_ >>>>>>>>>
    So? What that proves is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually
    acheive the goal defined for turing_D, a machine that
    determines if a given machine is circle-free.


    they are just malformed /incomplete specifications/ and

    The Specification of the INTERFACE is complete, it fully defines >>>>>>> what the given machine must do.

    imagine trying to argue a machine that can't exist, because it
    didn't handle all input situations, as "complete"

    In other words, you can't understand the difference between a
    specification of an interface, and the specification of a machine.

    IT DOESN'T "SPECIFY A MACHINE" BECAUSE IT'S _NOT_ A MACHINE
    DESCRIPTION,

    IT _SPECIFIES AN INTERFACE_, ONE THAT IS TOO INCOMPLETE TO BE
    COMPUTED BY A MACHINE

    So, neither is your "machine" an actual machine, as all YOU have is
    an "interface" that determines your partial classification that isn't
    actually implemented.

    AN INTERFACE THAT CAN EXIST IS A FUCKTON MORE THAN WHAT YOU'VE GOT

    But it CAN'T work, as there is no actual machine to implement it.

    WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE THAT IT _CAN'T_ WORK???


    Just because you haven't seen the reason it doesn't exist, doesn't mean
    that it can exist.

    Prove me wrong, and show how you ARE going to make a machine satisfy the interface.

    LOL WAT? FIRST YOU OUTRIGHT CLAIM IT _CAN'T_ WORK, AND NEXT YOUR ASKING
    ME TO SHOW _HOW_ IT WORKS?

    THAT'S NOT A SINCERE POSITION BRO


    Your problem is you don't understand that you need to use FAcTS and not
    just imaginary ideas.



    Turing's H, CAN be built from ANY actual machine that we want to try
    to claim might be a possible implementation of Turing's D. And all of
    these WILL BE actual machines, and ALL of them are shown to not
    produce the correct answer for Turing's H. Thus, there can not be any
    machine that does what D is supposed to do.

    On the other hand, YOU try to claim your fixed_H is an atual machine,
    but it isn't until you actually define your partial_decider_D, which
    you can't do, so your's isn't a machine either.

    IT'S NOT A CONTRADICTION FOR THOSE MACHINES TO EXIST, EI: THE
    SPECIFICATION IS NOT INCOMPLETE,

    Yes it is, you just haven't found it.

    WHAT????

    HOW COULD YOU KNOW I HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET, IF YOU HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET????



    UNLIKE THE INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION YOU PARADE AROUND AS MEANINGFUL

    But yours still don't exist.

    To ask me to prove otherwise is to assert that Russel's teapot does exist.

    DIDN'T REALIZED ASKING FOR PROOF OF YOUR CLAIMS IS NOW RUSSEL'S TEAPOT

    THOT WE WERE DOING MATH HERE WERE ONLY PROOFS MATTER




    And, it turns out that any machine that you want to try to claim is
    an implementation of your partial decider will either accept a
    machine that will hang your fixed_H, or will not accept any machine
    for some computable number.

    _TOTALLY UNPROVEN STATEMENT_

    Prove by Rice.

    RICE DID NOT EVEN REMOTELY ADDRESS THE CLASSIFICATION POWER OF PARTIAL RECOGNIZERS...

    U THINK U CAN JUST SPOUT RANDOM REFERENCE???


    Of cource, your problem is you assume that you can disprove a theorm by assuming the existance of a machine that doesn't actually exist.


    We may not be able to directly prove this like Turing

    WTF??? IF U CAN'T PROVE IT THEN STOP ASSERTING IT AS TRUE

    But it *IS* proven by Rice's theorem.

    Just like Turing's proof is correct, even if you can't understand the
    full nature of the proof.

    LOL BRO OK, NOW UR JUST MAKING RANDOM CLAIMS AT ME



    Did, but Rice's proof shows that it can't be done, and your arguement

    RICE'S PROOF IS _BASED_ ON TURING'S PROOF, YOU CAN'T USE IT INSTEAD OF
    TURING'S ... LOL

    Wrong. There are NUMEROUS variations of the proof, and you can't
    actually prove any of them actually incorrect, just that you don't understand some of the steps.

    Of course, YOUR "proof" is based on groundless assertions, so is even
    weaker than the proof you are trying to refute.

    If you can assume you can make your decider, Turing can assert that two problems are the same.

    ... except they still aren't ...

    you can cope about it all you want, but it ain't never gunna be true.

    enumeration computable numbers does not require enumerating all
    circle-free machines, anyone who can't accept that is corrupt


    The difference is that Turings claim can be proven, while yours can't be.


    fking tard

    It seeems you are just screwing yourself, as your only basis for
    claiming them wrong is that you are smoking the magic fairy dust from
    the Unicorn.


    that we need to find it is just you exercising the fallacy of
    asserting that Russel's Teapot must exist if we can't prove it doesn't.



    By your own logic, YOUR machine is INCOMPLETE, as you can't give
    the actual specific algorithm it uses. Your "logic" is based on
    ASSUMING that something is computable, with absolutely ZERO
    evidence that it is.

    In other words, you live in a world of fantasy



    The Specification of the interface is uncomputable, or
    unrealizable, because we can't make a machine that fullfills it. >>>>>>>
    Yes, the specification of the ALGORITHM is incomplete, as we
    don't specify how to do all the steps, but then so is yours.

    Turing, BECAUSE he used an unspecified algorithm for his D, was >>>>>>> able to actually PROVE that the specification for the interface >>>>>>> of D was unimplementable.

    All your arguement has done is shown that if magic fairy dust
    powered unicorns exists (which they don't), you could use one of >>>>>>> them to built an (also non-existant) program to compute something >>>>>>> that is actually proven to be uncomputable.

    All you have done is proven you don't understand how logic works, >>>>>>> and thus your works SHOULD BE IGNORED.



    If you want to be consistant, YOUR partial_decider_D is ALSO >>>>>>>>> incomplete,

    IT'S NOT INCOMPLETE AS IT HANDLES ALL INPUT SITUATIONS

    That isn't what "Incomplete", means, as your partial_decider_D
    doesn't exist so it can't handle ANY input situations.

    YOU HAVEN'T DEMONSTRATED A CONTRADICTION WITH
    PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D, SO YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN IT TO NOT EXIST...

    In other words, you assert the existance of Russel's teapot.

    The "contradiction" is in the fact that you concept of "undecidable >>>>> input" just is nonsense.

    u know exactly what i'm talking about when i say /undecidable
    input/, u just refuse to acknowledge anything i say as correct.
    because as soon as that damn breaks, ur whole position gets flooded
    with truth

    Right, I know you mean an input that the given decider is just wrong
    about.

    LOL, BEING IN SPEC IT NOT _WRONG_

    NOt when the spec itself is a nonsense lie based on the misuse of words.

    ok bro


    Since a machine exists that can decide on that input, it is NOT "undecidable".

    The word that means that answer you machine gave doesn't satisy the BASE property you are talking about is that it was just wrong.

    "Can't" is not proper grammer for the behavior of a given machine, it
    just doesn't, as the only thing that a given machine CAN do is what it
    does, so there is no possibility for it to do otherwise.



    Any other definition is just a lie.

    LOL, BEING IN SPEC IS NOT A _LIE_


    If the spec is a lie it is.

    There is no such thing as an "undecidable input"

    ok bro


    Just wrong machines.

    And stupid dart's





    How is it different then inputs that the specific decider is just
    wrong able.

    Describe how you define that property based on JUST the specific
    input itself and the specific decider.

    Your world is based on variable constants and similar nonsense.



    You don't get it, that if you want to put down Turing's machines >>>>>>> for not handling cases, you need to also accept that yours
    doesn't for the same reason, a machine that fully meets your
    specifaction can't exist.

    And part of the reason for yours, is that you have a nonsense
    term in your definition, as there is no such thing as a
    "undecidable input" if some other decider can get the known right >>>>>>> answer.

    Part of your problem is you just don't understand what a PROGRAM >>>>>>> or ALGORITHM actually is


    as you haven't specified HOW it does what it does, just lie >>>>>>>>> turing didn't define how his D was to do its work.

    Your problem is that Turing's goal was to prove that no such >>>>>>>>> machine could exist, which he succeeded at, but YOUR claim is >>>>>>>>> that such a thing might be able to exist, which you just have >>>>>>>>> not proven.



    And, it is an assertion that NO decider can correctly compute >>>>>>>>>>> the answer to that problem for all the possible inputs.

    Since a given ACTUAL machine described as your turing_H, >>>>>>>>>>> which means you have chosen a particular (broken)

    It is just that the D that H was built on is wrong. Nothing >>>>>>>>>>> "paradoxical" about a machine being wrong.

    again, wrong is a _NON-TECHNICAL VALUE ASSESSMENT_ based on >>>>>>>>>> you just _IGNORING_ the specification i specifically created >>>>>>>>>> for partial_recognizer_D...

    No, your problem is you just are too stupid to understand that >>>>>>>>> your "specification" is just nonsense, as it assumes that you >>>>>>>>> can perform a test by "changing" the decider and the input to >>>>>>>>> see a results.

    But the specification is about a particular input and decider. >>>>>>>>>

    the specification for partial_recognizer_D is when
    encountering undecidable input is to utilize FALSE,

    But there is no such thing as an "undecidable input", your
    definition is just internally inconsistantly trying to define >>>>>>>>> input that the decider gets wrong. Since the class the partial >>>>>>>>> decider is



    this _DOES NOT MEAN_ we cannot know what the /undecidable >>>>>>>>>> input/ does, as a paradox in regards to partial_recognize_D >>>>>>>>>> _ONLY AFFECTS_ partial_recognize_D not _OUR ABILITY TO PROVE >>>>>>>>>> OUTCOMES_

    In other words, you admit that you words are just lies and
    don't mean what they say.

    Your "undecidable" isn't about decidability, but correctness of >>>>>>>>> a given decider.

    YES, THAT'S ALL UNDECIDABILITY EVER WAS

    In other words you are admitting you don't know what you are
    talking about.

    A given decider being incorrect doesn't mean a correct decider
    doesn't exist. There are many decidable problems, for which
    incorrect deciders can exist.

    Undecidability is about the being NO correct deciders.

    YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SHOW A MACHINE WHICH HAS NO CORRECT CLASSIFIERS
    FOR...

    Because I don't need to.

    YOU'VE ONLY SHOWN THAT FOR ANY CLASSIFIER THERE EXISTS A MACHINE IT
    CAN'T CLASSIFY...

    NOT THAT THERE EXISTS A MACHINE THAT CAN'T BE CLASSIFIED...

    But I don't need to.

    The uncomputability of that classification is proven by the first.

    ALL THAT'S BEEN SHOWN IS _ONE_ MACHINE CAN'T CLASSIFY ALL MACHINEs.

    And that the arguement can apply to ANY machine, since there was no restriction on what could be viewed as D


    IT DOES NOT THE SHOW THERE IS MACHINE THAT *CANNOT* BE CLASSIFIED BY
    *ANY* MACHINE

    Which it doesn't need to do.

    ok bro


    All you are doiing is proving you really don't know what you are talking about.


    THOSE ARE _DIFFERENT_ CLAIMS, REGARDLESS OF U JUST CONFLATING THEM
    BECAUSE UR GETTING DESPERATE

    And who is conflaiting them?

    my god u can't even keep track of the last sentence i read?

    lol ok bro


    Yes, I pointed out as an aside, that there exists machines that no know
    to be always correct partial decider can decide on, but that is NOT what Turing is proving here, and thus claiming he doesn't succeed at that
    just shows you don't know what you are talking about.



    The existance of the second class of machine is just something more,
    that is clearly beyond your understanding.



    All that is needed to prove a problem is uncomputable is to show
    that you can make an input for any given decider that it is wrong
    about.

    THAT ONLY SHOWS THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE COMPUTED BY A _SINGLE_
    MACHINE

    Right, or any effectively enumerable set of machine, since we can
    then build the single machine that tests all of them.

    And that *IS* the definition of computable,

    BECAUSE UR JUST ASSUMING THE CT-THESIS AS TRUE, WHICH IS NOT PROVEN

    Nope. It seems you are just to stupid to understand the logic.

    Part of the problem is you just don't understand what the words mean.





    You don't seem to understand the problem.

    YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEEN PROVEN

    Sure I do, you just admitted what I have said is proven, that the

    LOL, UR CLAIMS ARE GETTING MORE GARBAGE BY THE POST

    Nope, you are just showing how stupid you are, because you don't know
    what the words you are trying to use mean.

    lol, ur claims really are getting more garbage by the post


    problem is not computable, which means there does not exist a single
    machine that correctly computes all the answers.







    This means that the trivial always false machine meets your

    NO, THE FAILURE TO CLASSIFY MUST COME FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE >>>>>>>> INPUT, NOT AN INCORRECT ALGO OF THE CLASSIFIER, WHY AM I
    REPEATING ME ON THIS?

    In other words, you think people/machines can't make mistakes?

    BEING UNABLE TO CLASSIFY /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ IS _NOT_ A MISTAKE ON >>>>>> BEHALF OF THE CLASSIFIER

    But the input isn't "undecidable", as that isn't an actual property >>>>> of an input.

    IT IS _CAUSED_ *BY THE STRUCTURE OF THE INPUT*

    No, as the input is fully decidable by some other decider, and thus
    there is nothing "undecidable" about it.

    RIGHT, THAT'S BECAUSE UNDECIDABILITY IS ONLY DEFINED AS A RELATIONSHIP
    BETWEEN A MACHINE AND A PARTICULAR CLASSIFIER PARADOXES BY THAT MACHINE

    Nope.

    You are sure stupid about the meaning of the words.

    "Undecidability" is the property of a Problem / Classification rule to
    be properl carried out by ANY possible algorithm.


    THERE _NEVER_ HAS BEEN _ANY_ OTHER FORM OF PROVEN UNDECIDABILITY
    WITHIN COMPUTING,

    And where did you get your definition?

    origin fallacy


    Maybe you should read some of the elementary statements about it, like
    at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undecidable_problem

    also origin fallacy


    "An undecidable problem is a decision problem for which it is proved to
    be impossible to construct an algorithm that always leads to a correct yes-or-no answer. "

    that's a sentence, doesn't mean it's correct


    Note, no mention about the relationship to a machine (except that such a machine doesn't exist).

    because it conflates algo with machine, due to assuming the ct-thesis as
    true



    AND UR DOING FUCK ALL TO PROVE ANOTHER FORM EXISTS

    Since your definition is just your own lies, YOU are the one making
    stuff up.




    It is just that the method will always find a flaw in the algorithm
    of that specific decider, making it just wrong.



    Your logic is just based on category errors, based on your own
    stupidity.



    Then why are you worried about proofs of correctness.

    You don't seem to understand that the whole basis of these proofs >>>>>>> isn't about finding *A* input that nothing can decide on, but

    IT'S ENOUGH TO REFUTE A *KEYSTONE* POINT IN TURING'S PAPER

    Nope, claiming that there might exist a machine, that doesn't
    actually exist, doesn't prove anything.

    WHAT??? TURING CONFLATING THE ENUMERATION OF ALL CIRCLE-FREE MACHINES
    WITH THAT OF JUST COMPUTABLE NUMBERS IS JUST WRONG, REGARDLESS OF WHAT
    IS FOUND TO BE POSSIBLE AFTER

    Can you show that they are not related?

    Or, is this just another "fact" out of your imagination.



    fking tard LOL



    THE REST OF THE PAPER IS PRETTY MUCH VOID DUE TO TURING CONFLATING
    THE ENUMERATION OF COMPUTABLE NUMBERS WITH THAT OF MACHINES THAT
    COMPUTE COMPUTATIONAL NUMBERS

    No, he shows that there does exist a problem that a decider can not
    decide on. That shows that the Hilbert Entscheidungsproblem can not
    have a solution, which is his real goal.

    Note, on page 246 he sketches out the proof, noting that *IF* the
    computable numbers WERE effective enumerable (what he calls just
    enumerable), then we could compute that anti-diagonal by thus doing
    that enumeration and selecting the appropriate digits.

    _THAT IS ALSO A FALLACY_

    THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF TM COMPUTING DO NOT ALLOW THE USE OF A DIAGONAL
    TO THEN COMPUTE AN ANTI-DIAGONAL

    Sure it does.

    Say you have a machine that prints out the diagonal of the enumeration.

    Take that machine, and just invert each write to one of the unchangeable cells, and reverse the operation of any read from an unchangable cell.

    Such a machine will trace the EXACT same path of states as the original,
    and output the anti-diagonal instead of the diagonal.

    If not, where does it go wrong?


    YOU'RE NOT GOING TO UNDERSTAND WHY UNTIL YOU WORK THRU THE FIX I MADE
    TO MAKE THE DIAGONAL COMPUTABLE, AND WORK THRU WHY THAT FIX DOES NOT
    WORK FOR THE ANTI-DIAGONAL COMPUTATION _EVEN HAVE A DIAGONAL AT HAND_

    So, what is wrong with what I said?

    The "anti-diagonal" program checks for the number of the diagonal
    program, but if you can make the self-referential program, you can make
    the other-referential program just like it.



    He also points out that this gets to the feeling that "there must be
    something wrong" (even though the logic is perfectly correct).>>

    THEREFOR, WE DO _NOT_ NEED A CLASSIFIER WITH THE POWER TO COMPUTE >>>>>> WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN MACHINE IS A COMPUTABLE NUMBER, WE ONLY NEED A >>>>>> CLASSIFIER WITH ENOUGH POWER TO CLASSIFIER _ONE OF THE INFINITE_
    MACHINES FOR _ANY_ GIVEN COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    Right, you need to PROVE that you can build a classifier that will
    select at least one machine for every computable number.

    You can't just assume your decider exists, you need to show HOW it
    works.

    Since you concept is based on identifing the "undeciable inputs",
    you need to show how you actually will do it, which means you need
    to define it in a way that is detectable.

    i already demonstrated the basic idea several times

    No, you haven't, as your "demonstartion" always violates the
    defintion of a machine and an input.

    How is your definition anything different that an input that this
    machine gets wrong.

    After all, when you talk about changing the decider, that doesn't
    actualy change the input, since that changed decider is NOT the
    original decider, and thus the actual input doesn't change.


    actually building a partial_recognizer for all possible computable
    numbers is a research question far outside the scope of this
    discussion since it involves open questions in number theory we
    don't even have answers to

    No, it is a fundamental assumption of your claim, that is in direct
    opposition to the proofs.

    Your arguement is just that you must be allowed to just assume
    Russel's teapot exist without proof.






    There is no inherent reason you can pull an infinite subset out >>>>>>> of a similarly infinite set.

    We can enumerate the primes, even though for every prime there is >>>>>>> an infinite number of composite numbers that are multiples of it, >>>>>>> thus your logic is based on an error.

    In other words, you are just admitting that you understanding of >>>>>>> the problem isn't sufficent to deal with it.

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly >>>>>> and honestly identify a self-evident concept:

    THE PROBLEM OF ENUMERATING COMPUTATIONAL SEQUENCES IS _NOT_
    EQUIVALENT TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OUT WHETHER _ANY_ GIVEN
    NUMBER IS A CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE, AS WE DO NOT NEED TO IDENTIFY
    _ALL_ CIRCLE- FREE MACHINES, JUST _ONE FOR EACH_ COMPUTABLE NUMBER

    So, you need to show that you CAN do that.

    Turing points out that they are computationally related, and I will

    being related does _not_ make them the _same problem_,

    Right, and he doesn't say they are. he says they are an "equivalent"
    problem, i.e there is a strong relation to each other (so they either
    both have or don't have an answer), that he has presumably proven
    somewhere else.

    Calling it an error without proof just shows your stupidity.

    FOR SOMEONE WHO A) UNDERSTANDS THE BASIC CONCEPTS INVOLVED, AND B) CAN
    THINK CRITICALLY,

    THE PROOF IS LITERALLY THE TWO PARAGRAPHS I ALREADY WROTE


    Nope, it assume the existance of something that isn't actualy proven to exist, and turns out can't be.

    You seem to fail at basic knowledge of how logic works, which explains
    why you logic is just so stupid.



    and turing's proof *depends* on them being the _same problem_

    No, since his ultimate goal is the proof is about the Hilbert
    Entscheidungsproblem, which was the big question of the day.

    IF HE'S ACTUALLY FAILED TO PROVE THE COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES AS NOT
    ENUMERABLE THEN THE PROOF FALLS APART, I'M SORRY


    He proved the circle-free machies are not enumerable, which is at least
    a similar problem, which also proves his point.



    To show is proof is wrong, *YOU* need to show that they problems are
    NOT equivalent.

    I ALREADY DID, SO YET AGAIN:

    ENUMERATING THE COMPUTABLE SEQUENCES ONLY REQUIRES THE LIMITED POWER
    TO IDENTIFY _ONE_ CIRCLE-FREE MACHINE FOR EACH COMPUTABLE SEQUENCE,
    _NOT_ ALL CIRCLE-FREE MACHINES

    Which you can't prove you can do.


       > THAT'S LITERALLY THE PROOF RIGHT THERE
       >

    So, how do you prove that your partial decider does that?

    Your "proof" is based on basic fallacies, showing you fail to understand basic logic.

    You have ADMITTED your ignorance of the field, having looked at

    this is suspicion that is easily dealt with using search tools. but

    Really? and how much of the early papers have actually been preserved
    and put into something searchable?

    How much of the actual presentations of the various conferences have
    been transcribed and put into search engines?

    The fact that he makes the passing reference to it, and no one in
    that error jumped on that is a good sign that it was accepted.

    As I said, prove him wrong or that the conclusion is wrong by
    ACTUALLY showing how to do what he claims can't be done. And them
    needs more than assuming you can make a decider that does the real work. >>>
    That is you just living off unicorn milk.

    So do it.

    you ask too much for not recognizing anything i said as true

    no richard, we've reached a point where u are unable to correctly >>>>>> and honestly identify a self-evident concept

    Because is is just wrong, being based on category errors.

    As long as you just ASSUME you can do what you claim, you are just
    making a ASS out of yourself, proving that your "self-evident" is
    really a case o "self-delusion"



    Because it isn't, and you have no proofs, because you can't
    actually prove a false statement.

    Part of your problem is you don't actually know much about what >>>>>>> you are talking, so you have nothing to work with,

    All you have shown so far is that you are too stupid to
    understand the nature of the paper.

    Note, it was NOT intended to be the end-all self-contained
    regerous proof of the concept. It was a paper, leaning on

    But it isn't just ONE classifier. He shows how to make an input that

    ANY classifier tht tries to determine this classification, will be
    defeated by the input built by that template on it.

    Thus, ALL such classifiers will be wrong.

    Note, the arguement is not actually dependent on these being Turing
    Machines, but can be generalized to ANY method based on the general
    concept of "computing".


    i don't need to respond to that further

    Sure you do, or you are just admitting that you don't have an answer.

    nope 🤷

    In other words, you are just admitting you don't know how logic works.

    you are just admitting you don't know how gaslighting works...


    You are just admitting you are giving up on logic.

    imagine trying to argue a machine that can't exist, because it
    didn't handle all input situations, as "complete"

    In other words, you can't understand the difference between a
    specification of an interface, and the specification of a machine.

    IT DOESN'T "SPECIFY A MACHINE" BECAUSE IT'S _NOT_ A MACHINE
    DESCRIPTION,

    IT _SPECIFIES AN INTERFACE_, ONE THAT IS TOO INCOMPLETE TO BE
    COMPUTED BY A MACHINE

    So, neither is your "machine" an actual machine, as all YOU have is
    an "interface" that determines your partial classification that
    isn't actually implemented.

    AN INTERFACE THAT CAN EXIST IS A FUCKTON MORE THAN WHAT YOU'VE GOT

    But it CAN'T work, as there is no actual machine to implement it.

    WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE THAT IT _CAN'T_ WORK???

    So, you beleive in Russel's teapot?

    YOU have the burden, and trying to slog it off just shows you don't know
    how to do logic.



    Just because you haven't seen the reason it doesn't exist, doesn't
    mean that it can exist.

    Prove me wrong, and show how you ARE going to make a machine satisfy
    the interface.

    LOL WAT? FIRST YOU OUTRIGHT CLAIM IT _CAN'T_ WORK, AND NEXT YOUR ASKING
    ME TO SHOW _HOW_ IT WORKS?

    Right. I KNOW it can't exist, but if you say it can, prove it.

    It seems you just don't know what a "proof" is, and you like to just demonstrate your utter stupidity.


    THAT'S NOT A SINCERE POSITION BRO

    Sure it is.

    Logic says your claim is invalid.

    If you want to assert that it can be true, YOU have the burden of proof, otherwise you are just claiming that Russel's teapot can be assumed to
    exist.

    YOU are the one without basis for your claims.



    Your problem is you don't understand that you need to use FAcTS and
    not just imaginary ideas.



    Turing's H, CAN be built from ANY actual machine that we want to try
    to claim might be a possible implementation of Turing's D. And all
    of these WILL BE actual machines, and ALL of them are shown to not
    produce the correct answer for Turing's H. Thus, there can not be
    any machine that does what D is supposed to do.

    On the other hand, YOU try to claim your fixed_H is an atual
    machine, but it isn't until you actually define your
    partial_decider_D, which you can't do, so your's isn't a machine
    either.

    IT'S NOT A CONTRADICTION FOR THOSE MACHINES TO EXIST, EI: THE
    SPECIFICATION IS NOT INCOMPLETE,

    Yes it is, you just haven't found it.

    WHAT????

    HOW COULD YOU KNOW I HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET, IF YOU HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET????

    Because if you found it (the contradiction) you wouldn't be claiming it exists.

    Until you can show it exists, it is just a baseless claim that it does.

    By your logic, where you are allowed to assume something without proof,
    I could "prove" that you machine can't exist.

    What if there was a computable number that was only generated by
    machines that you would classify as "paradoxical". Your claimed partial decider could never accept a version of that machine.

    How is that claim any different than yours?




    UNLIKE THE INCOMPLETE SPECIFICATION YOU PARADE AROUND AS MEANINGFUL

    But yours still don't exist.

    To ask me to prove otherwise is to assert that Russel's teapot does
    exist.

    DIDN'T REALIZED ASKING FOR PROOF OF YOUR CLAIMS IS NOW RUSSEL'S TEAPOT

    THOT WE WERE DOING MATH HERE WERE ONLY PROOFS MATTER

    So, PROVE that your machine exists.

    That generally means showing an example that actually does what it does.

    I guess you are just admitting that you are just lying about your own
    work, as you can't actually prove it.





    And, it turns out that any machine that you want to try to claim is
    an implementation of your partial decider will either accept a
    machine that will hang your fixed_H, or will not accept any machine
    for some computable number.

    _TOTALLY UNPROVEN STATEMENT_

    Prove by Rice.

    RICE DID NOT EVEN REMOTELY ADDRESS THE CLASSIFICATION POWER OF PARTIAL RECOGNIZERS...

    The problem is. your "partial recognizer" needs to be a complete
    recognizer of your "paradoxical" property.


    U THINK U CAN JUST SPOUT RANDOM REFERENCE???

    Better than you just assuming with zero proof that you are right.l



    Of cource, your problem is you assume that you can disprove a theorm
    by assuming the existance of a machine that doesn't actually exist.


    We may not be able to directly prove this like Turing

    WTF??? IF U CAN'T PROVE IT THEN STOP ASSERTING IT AS TRUE

    But it *IS* proven by Rice's theorem.

    Just like Turing's proof is correct, even if you can't understand the
    full nature of the proof.

    LOL BRO OK, NOW UR JUST MAKING RANDOM CLAIMS AT ME

    Nope, just giving you facts.




    Did, but Rice's proof shows that it can't be done, and your arguement

    RICE'S PROOF IS _BASED_ ON TURING'S PROOF, YOU CAN'T USE IT INSTEAD
    OF TURING'S ... LOL

    Wrong. There are NUMEROUS variations of the proof, and you can't
    actually prove any of them actually incorrect, just that you don't
    understand some of the steps.

    Of course, YOUR "proof" is based on groundless assertions, so is even
    weaker than the proof you are trying to refute.

    If you can assume you can make your decider, Turing can assert that
    two problems are the same.

    ... except they still aren't ...

    How do you know?


    you can cope about it all you want, but it ain't never gunna be true.

    enumeration computable numbers does not require enumerating all circle-
    free machines, anyone who can't accept that is corrupt

    In other words, you don't understand what he is saying.

    He isn't saying they are the same, just that they are so closely related
    that one implies the other.



    The difference is that Turings claim can be proven, while yours can't be.


    fking tard

    It seeems you are just screwing yourself, as your only basis for
    claiming them wrong is that you are smoking the magic fairy dust from
    the Unicorn.


    that we need to find it is just you exercising the fallacy of
    asserting that Russel's Teapot must exist if we can't prove it doesn't. >>>>


    By your own logic, YOUR machine is INCOMPLETE, as you can't give
    the actual specific algorithm it uses. Your "logic" is based on
    ASSUMING that something is computable, with absolutely ZERO
    evidence that it is.

    In other words, you live in a world of fantasy



    The Specification of the interface is uncomputable, or
    unrealizable, because we can't make a machine that fullfills it. >>>>>>>>
    Yes, the specification of the ALGORITHM is incomplete, as we
    don't specify how to do all the steps, but then so is yours.

    Turing, BECAUSE he used an unspecified algorithm for his D, was >>>>>>>> able to actually PROVE that the specification for the interface >>>>>>>> of D was unimplementable.

    All your arguement has done is shown that if magic fairy dust >>>>>>>> powered unicorns exists (which they don't), you could use one of >>>>>>>> them to built an (also non-existant) program to compute
    something that is actually proven to be uncomputable.

    All you have done is proven you don't understand how logic
    works, and thus your works SHOULD BE IGNORED.



    If you want to be consistant, YOUR partial_decider_D is ALSO >>>>>>>>>> incomplete,

    IT'S NOT INCOMPLETE AS IT HANDLES ALL INPUT SITUATIONS

    That isn't what "Incomplete", means, as your partial_decider_D >>>>>>>> doesn't exist so it can't handle ANY input situations.

    YOU HAVEN'T DEMONSTRATED A CONTRADICTION WITH
    PARTIAL_RECOGNIZER_D, SO YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN IT TO NOT EXIST...

    In other words, you assert the existance of Russel's teapot.

    The "contradiction" is in the fact that you concept of
    "undecidable input" just is nonsense.

    u know exactly what i'm talking about when i say /undecidable
    input/, u just refuse to acknowledge anything i say as correct.
    because as soon as that damn breaks, ur whole position gets flooded >>>>> with truth

    Right, I know you mean an input that the given decider is just wrong
    about.

    LOL, BEING IN SPEC IT NOT _WRONG_

    NOt when the spec itself is a nonsense lie based on the misuse of words.

    ok bro

    Glad you see the light,



    Since a machine exists that can decide on that input, it is NOT
    "undecidable".

    The word that means that answer you machine gave doesn't satisy the
    BASE property you are talking about is that it was just wrong.

    "Can't" is not proper grammer for the behavior of a given machine, it
    just doesn't, as the only thing that a given machine CAN do is what it
    does, so there is no possibility for it to do otherwise.



    Any other definition is just a lie.

    LOL, BEING IN SPEC IS NOT A _LIE_


    If the spec is a lie it is.

    There is no such thing as an "undecidable input"

    ok bro

    So, you now admit you are wrong.

    I get to quote you on that now,



    Just wrong machines.

    And stupid dart's





    How is it different then inputs that the specific decider is just >>>>>> wrong able.

    Describe how you define that property based on JUST the specific

    Your world is based on variable constants and similar nonsense.

    doesn't for the same reason, a machine that fully meets your

    And part of the reason for yours, is that you have a nonsense >>>>>>>> term in your definition, as there is no such thing as a

    In other words you are admitting you don't know what you are
    talking about.

    A given decider being incorrect doesn't mean a correct decider >>>>>>>> doesn't exist. There are many decidable problems, for which
    incorrect deciders can exist.

    Undecidability is about the being NO correct deciders.

    The uncomputability of that classification is proven by the first.

    ALL THAT'S BEEN SHOWN IS _ONE_ MACHINE CAN'T CLASSIFY ALL MACHINEs.

    And that the arguement can apply to ANY machine, since there was no
    restriction on what could be viewed as D


    IT DOES NOT THE SHOW THERE IS MACHINE THAT *CANNOT* BE CLASSIFIED BY
    *ANY* MACHINE

    Which it doesn't need to do.

    ok bro


    All you are doiing is proving you really don't know what you are
    talking about.


    THOSE ARE _DIFFERENT_ CLAIMS, REGARDLESS OF U JUST CONFLATING THEM
    BECAUSE UR GETTING DESPERATE

    And who is conflaiting them?

    my god u can't even keep track of the last sentence i read?

    lol ok bro

    Maybe because you don't seem to actually respond to the errors I am
    pointing out, so I can't tell what you are actually reading.

    It seems you don't understand what Turing was saying, because you just
    don't understand the language of logic.



    Yes, I pointed out as an aside, that there exists machines that no
    know to be always correct partial decider can decide on, but that is
    NOT what Turing is proving here, and thus claiming he doesn't succeed
    at that just shows you don't know what you are talking about.



    The existance of the second class of machine is just something more,
    that is clearly beyond your understanding.



    All that is needed to prove a problem is uncomputable is to show
    that you can make an input for any given decider that it is wrong >>>>>> about.

    THAT ONLY SHOWS THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE COMPUTED BY A _SINGLE_
    MACHINE

    Right, or any effectively enumerable set of machine, since we can
    then build the single machine that tests all of them.

    And that *IS* the definition of computable,

    BECAUSE UR JUST ASSUMING THE CT-THESIS AS TRUE, WHICH IS NOT PROVEN

    Nope. It seems you are just to stupid to understand the logic.

    Part of the problem is you just don't understand what the words mean.





    You don't seem to understand the problem.

    YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEEN PROVEN

    Sure I do, you just admitted what I have said is proven, that the

    LOL, UR CLAIMS ARE GETTING MORE GARBAGE BY THE POST

    Nope, you are just showing how stupid you are, because you don't know
    what the words you are trying to use mean.

    lol, ur claims really are getting more garbage by the post

    So your ignorant mind thinks.

    YOU are the one just going down hill, as you fail to deal with the
    errors pointed out,




    problem is not computable, which means there does not exist a single
    machine that correctly computes all the answers.







    This means that the trivial always false machine meets your >>>>>>>>>

    In other words, you think people/machines can't make mistakes?

    BEING UNABLE TO CLASSIFY /UNDECIDABLE INPUT/ IS _NOT_ A MISTAKE >>>>>>> ON BEHALF OF THE CLASSIFIER

    But the input isn't "undecidable", as that isn't an actual
    property of an input.

    IT IS _CAUSED_ *BY THE STRUCTURE OF THE INPUT*

    No, as the input is fully decidable by some other decider, and thus
    there is nothing "undecidable" about it.

    RIGHT, THAT'S BECAUSE UNDECIDABILITY IS ONLY DEFINED AS A
    RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A MACHINE AND A PARTICULAR CLASSIFIER PARADOXES
    BY THAT MACHINE

    Nope.

    You are sure stupid about the meaning of the words.

    "Undecidability" is the property of a Problem / Classification rule to
    be properl carried out by ANY possible algorithm.


    THERE _NEVER_ HAS BEEN _ANY_ OTHER FORM OF PROVEN UNDECIDABILITY
    WITHIN COMPUTING,

    And where did you get your definition?

    origin fallacy

    In other words, you admit you don't HAVE a reputable source, and don't
    know what that fallacy actually means.



    Maybe you should read some of the elementary statements about it, like
    at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undecidable_problem

    also origin fallacy

    In other words, to you, words don't need to mean what they mean.

    That means your words are totally unreliable as you are admitting to
    being an ignorant fool.



    "An undecidable problem is a decision problem for which it is proved
    to be impossible to construct an algorithm that always leads to a
    correct yes-or-no answer. "

    that's a sentence, doesn't mean it's correct

    But it *IS* the definition.

    You might not like it, but that just makes you wrong.



    Note, no mention about the relationship to a machine (except that such
    a machine doesn't exist).

    because it conflates algo with machine, due to assuming the ct-thesis as true

    The definition doesn't assume C-T, and that is why it doesn't use the
    word machine, because that word implies a particular implementation
    language (like Turing Machines). ALL machines, by necessity implement
    some algorithm. C-T is the claim that a Turing Machine can be built to
    be the equivalent of any algorith that qualifies (having the required properties of things like being a finite defined step).

    "Computability" is about algorithms.

    Some computation architectures can't implement some algorithms (like a
    FSM is limited in what it can do). C-T is the expression of the evidense support beleif that Turing Machines can do anything that is actually computable by the definitions of a computation.

    If you want to disprove it, you need to find an actual counter example,
    but that will first require that you get a clue about what the field is talking about and stop eating your shit.

    Your repeated claims without support just shows that you don't actually understand what proof means, and proves your own stupidity.




    AND UR DOING FUCK ALL TO PROVE ANOTHER FORM EXISTS

    Since your definition is just your own lies, YOU are the one making
    stuff up.
