You do like to change meaning with a "paraphrase" which is actually just a way to LIE. Typical method of deliberate liars. your clause about a finite sequence of steps was about reaching a final state, NOT about the actual simulation, which was just defined a "Correct" which means like a UTM which means it doesn't abort until it reaches the final state (which you admit it won't, so the simulator is stuck being non-halting, and thus not a decider). > > UNLESS YOU CAN PROVE THAT A UTM CANNOT POSSIBLY BE ADAPTED TO COUNT > THE NUMBER OF STEPS AND THEN STOP I AM CORRECT AND YOU ARE DISHONEST > It can be, but the isn't a UTM, BY DEFINITION. Look up the definition of a Universal Turing Machine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Turing_machine In short, the Universal Turing Machine, when given the proper description of the Machine it emulate, computes the same result as the machine described. This can not be done if the UTM aborts after a finite number of steps without reaching the final state. And also, there is nothing in the definition that the UTM actually step through the same virtual sequence of states of the machine it is emulating. Yes, that is a natural way to do it, but isn't required, because everything in this area of computation theory is about input to output mapping, and NOT about how it was done, except for the requirement that it was done with a finite algorithm processing the data given to it. You are just proving your ignorance of the subject.
