I talk about every element of the infinite set because people were trying to get away with a dishonest shell game ruse https://jorynjenkins.com/hiding-the-pea/ That wastes weeks and weeks talking in circles. I spoke of one HHH/DDD pair and they always changed the subject to a different pair. Now I talk about all of the HHH/DDD pairs all at once. For each element of this infinite set of HHH/DDD pairs DDD never halts. For every finite N number of emulated steps HHH halts. This means that every HHH of this set that aborts its emulation of DDD is correct to reject its DDD as non halting. -- Copyright 2024 Olcott "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."
