DDD doesn't *do* anything, it is being simulated. HHH can't reach DDD's existing halt state. >> It is interesting to know: >> 'Is there an algorithm that can determine for all possible inputs >> whether the input specifies a program that [...] >> halts when directly executed?' >> This question seems undecidable for Olcott. > It is the halts while directly executed that is impossible for all > inputs.

No, the machine code doesn't "specify a pathological relationship", that is purely a feature of trying to simulate it with the included simulator. -- Am Sat, 20 Jul 2024 12:35:31 +0000 schrieb WM in sci.math: It is not guaranteed that n+1 exists for every n.
