But, by definition, they need to answer about *ANY* machine givem to them.

Are you just admitting at the beginning that fundamentally

Which is just proof that you logic is based on lies and category errors.

Sorry, you are just proving you don't understand what you are talking 
about and showing that you think that "Logic" (at least in the PO sense) 
allows LYING about things that you don't actually know about.

And thus isn't the COMPLETE behavior, and thus isn't the BEHAVIOR of the 
input.

I guess you think you could be God because God is immortal, and you 
haven't dies YET, so are currently "imo

Only in logic that doesn't undertstad the nature of programs, and the 
fact that they are deterministic.

And so, this is NOT an actual description of a real program.
And thus we can NOT determine the behavior of DDD.

You are just sinking your reputation.
