This proves that HHH is correct to report that its DDD never halts. When every element of an infinite set of the DDD of HHH/DDD pairs never halt (all black cats are black) then HHH can report that its DDD never halts (all black cats are cats). Most people here seems intentionally ridiculously stupid when it comes to hypothetical scenarios: _DDD() [00002163] 55 push ebp ; housekeeping [00002164] 8bec mov ebp,esp ; housekeeping [00002166] 6863210000 push 00002163 ; push DDD [0000216b] e853f4ffff call 000015c3 ; call HHH(DDD) [00002170] 83c404 add esp,+04 [00002173] 5d pop ebp [00002174] c3 ret Size in bytes:(0018) [00002174] A correct simulation is defined as emulating the x86 instructions of DDD according to the semantics specified by these instructions. This includes emulating HHH emulating DDD according to the semantics of the x86 instructions of HHH. Within the hypothetical scenario where DDD is correctly emulated by its HHH and this HHH never aborts its simulation neither DDD nor HHH ever stops running. This conclusively proves that HHH is required to abort the simulation of its corresponding DDD as required by the design spec that every partial halt decider must halt and is otherwise not any kind of decider at all. That HHH is required to abort its simulation of DDD conclusively proves that this DDD never halts. -- Copyright 2024 Olcott "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."
