Where do they diverge?

On the contrary, it is required to report on the behaviour of the input when directly executed, otherwise a halt decider is of no interest. I cannot produce a faulty simulator and claim that its result is what counts. > Outputs are forced to correspond to inputs when finite string > transformation rules are applied to inputs to derive outputs. There are many behaviours you could compute from the description of DD, such as when run backwards or in a loop, and even other things like the number of instructions. >> There is no algorithm that can determine for all possible inputs >> whether the input specifies a program that (according to the semantics >> of the machine language) halts when directly executed. >> Agreed?
