    Because you can't, since it isn't computable.


    i’d like to try playing around with a sloppier version of that
    diagonal, one that includes some circular numbers as well. for
    this i will introduce a new simulation machine:

    And what good is such a enumeration?

    Note, if your enumeration includes some non-circle-free machines,
    then the enumeration of the "computable numbers" it generates isn't >>>>> valid, as the array of values has holes in it.

    it's not an enumeration of computable numbers, it's a superset of
    said enumeration that includes some "circular" machines, but should
    include all computable numbers

    No, it is a decider that enumerates machines that is supposed to
    generate that, but then a machine that tries to use it to enumerate
    all enumerable numbers will hang and not generate the enumeration.

    Again, what good is this "incorrect" enumeration for getting you to
    the goal of showing how to compute an enumeration of all computable
    numbers.

    Note, because the set of  "computable numbers" are (as you have
    pointed out) NOT the same machines that compute them, Your "super
    set" as described isn't a set of one sort of thing, and is actually
    (as I just described) a set of MACHINES that compute computable
    numbers + some machines that are circular.

    The presence of the circular machines in the set means you can't use
    that set to compute the computable numbers, as you process will hang
    on circular machines in the set.

    This is, i think. part of the reason that Turing switch to the
    enumeration of non-circular machines, as they are easier to talk
    about processing, as they are finite things, while the elements of
    the computable numbers are not, and if you try to talk about using
    ONE machine that generates it, you have the problem of selecting that
    one machine from the infinite set that generates it.



    In other words, your world is just broken.

    Your diagonal doesn't exist, as there is likely somewhere on the
    "diagonal" a spot where the kth machine in the list doesn't
    generate k digits of output, because it was one of those non-
    circle-free machines accepted that got stuck too early.

    we can avoid that using a stepping simulation while dovetailing:

    Nope.

    your step_deect_loop might not return anything for all machines, as
    not all circularity is detectable.

    As I pointed out, some machines just continue to slowly grow over
    time and never repeat a state.

    For instance, if the Goldbach conjecture is true, a program to find
    the first even number that can't be found as the sum of two prime,
    will run forever but never hit a repeated state.


       step_detect_loop = (M, K) -> {
         STEP: step completed,
         LOOP: if a circular loop is detected during simulation,
         kth digit of M: if the Kth digit of M is reached
                         before a loop is detected,
       }

       sloppy_H = () -> {
         M = 0
         K = 1
         m_list = []
         do {
           for (m in m_list) {
             res = step_detect_loop(m, K) // sim one step as a time >>>>          if (res == STEP) {
               continue
             }                            // outputs other than STEP
             if (res != LOOP) {           //   indicate we're done
               output res                 //   dovetailing this machine
               K += 1
             }
             list.remove(m)
           }

           if (M == DN(sloppy_H)) {       // handle self-ref case >>>>          output 0
             K += 1
           } else {
             m = steppable_runtime(M)     // internally tracks stepping
             list.push(m)
           }
           M += 1
         }
       }



       sim_detect_loop = (M, K) -> {
         LOOP: if a circular loop is detected during simulation,
         kth digit of M: if the Kth digit of M is reached
                         before a loop is detected, >>>>>>    }

    loop detection happens in two cases:

      1) if a circular machine is detected when a configuration is
    reached twice
      2) if a circular recursion is detected when a simulated machine >>>>>> tries to simulates itself

    How can you tell this?
    What if it is just a "twin brother"?

    How do you detect that you won't find such a circular condition
    when simulating a machine, but it hasn't halted yet.

    this is the sloppy diagonal, it doesn't care if circular machines
    end up on the list

    And why can't that same program be used to compute the sloppy-anti-
    diagonal (where you still test the M with DN(sloppy_H) not changing
    that, and then reverse the output of the two outputs.

    If your sloppy_H produces a diagonal, because the anti- program does
    EXACTLY the same steps it will also create an anti-diagonal, which
    could not have been from a machine in the listing, thus showing your
    enumation doesn't include ALL machines for ALL the computable numbers.


    i guess at this point there's little point to even try to filter out
    any circular machines

       step = (M, K) -> {
         STEP: step completed,
         kth digit of M: if the Kth digit of M has been output
       }

    every time step is called it advances the machine's runtime,
    recording any output alone the way. after the step is complete, if
    the Kth output has been recorded already it will output that.
    however if the Kth output has not already been output by the machine
    then STEP it output

       sloppier_H = () -> {
         M = 0
         K = 1
         m_list = []
         do {
           for (m in m_list) {
             res = step(m, K)             // sim one step as a time
             if (res == STEP) continue
             output res
             K += 1
             list.remove(m)
           }

           if (M == DN(sloppy_H)) {       // handle self-ref case >>>>          output 0
             K += 1
           } else {
             m = steppable_runtime(M)
             list.push(m)
           }
           M += 1
         }
       }

       anti_sloppier_H = () -> {
         K = 1
         do {
           output 1-sim(sloppier_H,K)
           K += 1
         }
       }

    i have a hard time really asserting what happens to anti_sloppier_H
    when sloppier_H starts dovetailing it. i'm kinda guessing at the
    moment that the K within sloppier_H grows faster than the K within
    anti_sloppier_H and therefore sloppier_H will just never actually
    output a digit from anti_sloppier_H ...

    Why won't it be able to simulate it?

    Why should the K's grow differently.

    before for every K, anti_sloppier_H simulates the entirety of
    sloppier_H from 1..K,

    And how does the writing out the program nti-sloppier_H affect anything,
    it still existed as the code for the machine with its number.


    i suppose we can adjust it with a steppable runtime:

       anti_sloppier_H = () -> {
         K = 0
         m = steppable_runtime(sloppier_H)
         do {
           res = step(m, K)
           if (res != STEP) {
             output res
             K += 1
           }
         }
       }

    but i don't think this will change anything. it will constantly run
    behind sloppier's K for several reasons:


    1) anti_sloppier_H is simulating sloppier_H's runtime with extra steps
    for each cycle K ... mean sloppier_H's K _must_ grow faster than
    anti_sloppier_H even when run directly in parallel

    No, it is supposed to be EXACTLY simulating the steps of sloppier_H.

    anti_sloppier_H takes more steps for each step of sloppier_H because it
    needs to check the output of after each step of sloppier_H, to see if an output was found, and then advance K if so.

    this is done for every step of sloppier_H, so therefore run head to
    head, anti_sloppier_H will output slower than sloppier_H.

    in fact, anti_sloppier_H cannot output a digit for a particular K until /after/ sloppier_H outputs a digit for that particular K...

    so there is no way for anti_sloppier_H to ever output for some
    particular K until after sloppier_H has started looking for at least a
    K+1 digit,

    meaning sloppier_H will never put anti_sloppier_H on the diagonal

    it is therefore _not_ possible to effectively enumerate _all machines_ ,
    in direct contradiction to the obviously effective enumerability used to create sloppier_H in the first place

    anti_sloppier_H takes more steps for each step of sloppier_H because it needs to check the output of after each step of sloppier_H, to see if an output was found, and then advance K if so.

    So?

    That doesn't affect the answer that sloppier_H gives to anti-sloppier_H


    this is done for every step of sloppier_H, so therefore run head to
    head, anti_sloppier_H will output slower than sloppier_H.


    So, that doesn't affect the value of K.

    in fact, anti_sloppier_H cannot output a digit for a particular K
    until /after/ sloppier_H outputs a digit for that particular K...

    Right. and the execution of anti-sloppier_H will EXACTLY follow the
    behavior of sloppier_H (even though at a slower rate) and will EXAXTLY
    output the opposite that sloppier_H outputs.


    so there is no way for anti_sloppier_H to ever output for some
    particular K until after sloppier_H has started looking for at least a
    K+1 digit,

    So?


    meaning sloppier_H will never put anti_sloppier_H on the diagonal

    Right.

    But since anti-sloppier_H WILL fully output a computable number, at
    least as long as your sloppier_H outputs a computable number as the
    diagonal, it needed to in order for the diagonal to be of a complete enumeration of computable numbers.

    Sloppier H can NEVER output a digiton its diagonal that matches the anti-diagonal computed by anti-slippier-H, and thus the computable
    number it computes can't be in the enumeration that it is working from.


    it is therefore _not_ possible to effectively enumerate _all machines_ ,
    in direct contradiction to the obviously effective enumerability used to create sloppier_H in the first place


    But the effective enumeration used to create sloppier_H can't be
    complete, and thus isn't a effetive enumeration of a super-set of
    machine the of at least one machine the computes every computable number.

    You seem to have forgotten your own requirement that the enumeration was
    to include at least one machine that computes every computable number.

    Yes, there are many computably enumerated SUB-sets of the computable
    numbers, just not one for a complete set of them.

    All you are doing is showing you don't understand what it means to be
    correct.

    Maybe you should test your machines to see if they meet your
    requirements, after all, you complaint was about people releasing code
    that wasn't proven to be correct.

    And you keep on releasing things provably INCORRECT.

    I have shown a way to build a computable number that you enumeration
    doesn't include, and thus it can't be a complete enumeration, as you
    claim it is supposedly by some "magic" assumptions.

    If your sloppy_H produces a diagonal, because the anti- program
    does EXACTLY the same steps it will also create an anti-diagonal,
    which could not have been from a machine in the listing, thus
    showing your enumation doesn't include ALL machines for ALL the
    computable numbers.


    i guess at this point there's little point to even try to filter
    out any circular machines

       step = (M, K) -> {
         STEP: step completed,
         kth digit of M: if the Kth digit of M has been output
       }

    every time step is called it advances the machine's runtime,
    recording any output alone the way. after the step is complete, if >>>>>> the Kth output has been recorded already it will output that.
    however if the Kth output has not already been output by the

         K = 1

             list.remove(m)
           }

           if (M == DN(sloppy_H)) {       // handle self-ref case
             output 0
             K += 1
           } else {
             m = steppable_runtime(M)
             list.push(m)
           }
           M += 1
         }
       }

       anti_sloppier_H = () -> {
         K = 1
         do {
           output 1-sim(sloppier_H,K)
           K += 1
         }
       }

    i have a hard time really asserting what happens to
    anti_sloppier_H when sloppier_H starts dovetailing it. i'm kinda
    guessing at the moment that the K within sloppier_H grows faster
    than the K within anti_sloppier_H and therefore sloppier_H will
    just never actually output a digit from anti_sloppier_H ...

    Why won't it be able to simulate it?

    Why should the K's grow differently.

    before for every K, anti_sloppier_H simulates the entirety of
    sloppier_H from 1..K,

    And how does the writing out the program nti-sloppier_H affect
    anything, it still existed as the code for the machine with its number.


    i suppose we can adjust it with a steppable runtime:

       anti_sloppier_H = () -> {
         K = 0
         m = steppable_runtime(sloppier_H)
         do {
           res = step(m, K)
           if (res != STEP) {
             output res
             K += 1
           }
         }
       }

    but i don't think this will change anything. it will constantly run
    behind sloppier's K for several reasons:


    1) anti_sloppier_H is simulating sloppier_H's runtime with extra
    steps for each cycle K ... mean sloppier_H's K _must_ grow faster
    than anti_sloppier_H even when run directly in parallel

    No, it is supposed to be EXACTLY simulating the steps of sloppier_H.

    anti_sloppier_H takes more steps for each step of sloppier_H because
    it needs to check the output of after each step of sloppier_H, to see
    if an output was found, and then advance K if so.

    So?

    That doesn't affect the answer that sloppier_H gives to anti-sloppier_H


    this is done for every step of sloppier_H, so therefore run head to
    head, anti_sloppier_H will output slower than sloppier_H.


    So, that doesn't affect the value of K.

    in fact, anti_sloppier_H cannot output a digit for a particular K
    until /after/ sloppier_H outputs a digit for that particular K...

    Right. and the execution of anti-sloppier_H will EXACTLY follow the
    behavior of sloppier_H (even though at a slower rate) and will EXAXTLY output the opposite that sloppier_H outputs.


    so there is no way for anti_sloppier_H to ever output for some
    particular K until after sloppier_H has started looking for at least a
    K+1 digit,

    So?


    meaning sloppier_H will never put anti_sloppier_H on the diagonal

    Right.

    yup


    But since anti-sloppier_H WILL fully output a computable number, at
    least as long as your sloppier_H outputs a computable number as the diagonal, it needed to in order for the diagonal to be of a complete enumeration of computable numbers.

    Sloppier H can NEVER output a digiton its diagonal that matches the anti-diagonal computed by anti-slippier-H, and thus the computable
    number it computes can't be in the enumeration that it is working from.


    it is therefore _not_ possible to effectively enumerate _all
    machines_ , in direct contradiction to the obviously effective
    enumerability used to create sloppier_H in the first place


    But the effective enumeration used to create sloppier_H can't be
    complete, and thus isn't a effetive enumeration of a super-set of
    machine the of at least one machine the computes every computable number.

    You seem to have forgotten your own requirement that the enumeration was
    to include at least one machine that computes every computable number.

    Yes, there are many computably enumerated SUB-sets of the computable numbers, just not one for a complete set of them.

    All you are doing is showing you don't understand what it means to be correct.

    Maybe you should test your machines to see if they meet your
    requirements, after all, you complaint was about people releasing code
    that wasn't proven to be correct.

    And you keep on releasing things provably INCORRECT.

    i'm not selecting for "computable numbers" with sloppier_H, rick

    i'm not selecting for anything in particular, i'm just running any
    whatever machine that we come across, and trying to put it on a diagonal


    I have shown a way to build a computable number that you enumeration
    doesn't include, and thus it can't be a complete enumeration, as you
    claim it is supposedly by some "magic" assumptions.

    u don't really seem aware of where we've ended up:

    disproving an ability to enumerate _not_ just computable numbers, but
    actually _all machines_

    which is a contradiction to the premise used to construct the machine in

    it's not an enumeration of computable numbers, it's a superset of >>>>>>> said enumeration that includes some "circular" machines, but

    No, it is a decider that enumerates machines that is supposed to
    generate that, but then a machine that tries to use it to
    enumerate all enumerable numbers will hang and not generate the
    enumeration.

    Again, what good is this "incorrect" enumeration for getting you
    to the goal of showing how to compute an enumeration of all
    computable numbers.

    Note, because the set of  "computable numbers" are (as you have
    pointed out) NOT the same machines that compute them, Your "super >>>>>> set" as described isn't a set of one sort of thing, and is
    actually (as I just described) a set of MACHINES that compute
    computable numbers + some machines that are circular.

    The presence of the circular machines in the set means you can't
    use that set to compute the computable numbers, as you process
    will hang on circular machines in the set.

    This is, i think. part of the reason that Turing switch to the
    enumeration of non-circular machines, as they are easier to talk
    about processing, as they are finite things, while the elements of >>>>>> the computable numbers are not, and if you try to talk about using >>>>>> ONE machine that generates it, you have the problem of selecting
    that one machine from the infinite set that generates it.



    In other words, your world is just broken.

    Your diagonal doesn't exist, as there is likely somewhere on the >>>>>>>> "diagonal" a spot where the kth machine in the list doesn't
    generate k digits of output, because it was one of those non- >>>>>>>> circle-free machines accepted that got stuck too early.

    we can avoid that using a stepping simulation while dovetailing:

    Nope.

    your step_deect_loop might not return anything for all machines,
    as not all circularity is detectable.

    As I pointed out, some machines just continue to slowly grow over >>>>>> time and never repeat a state.

    For instance, if the Goldbach conjecture is true, a program to
    find the first even number that can't be found as the sum of two
    prime, will run forever but never hit a repeated state.

    In other words, you are just computing garbage.

    You forgot the problem you were working on, and just started to play in
    your garbage.

    Did you forget, that you started by saying, lets allow D to not select
    EVERY non-circular machine, just it needs to select at least one for
    each computable number.

    The computable number of the anti-diagonal isn't in the set of numbers
    your D accepts a machine for.

    And thus you failed at your goal, and forgot about the problem, because
    you attention span is apparently to short to take it to a finish line.



    I have shown a way to build a computable number that you enumeration

    u don't really seem aware of where we've ended up:

    Yep, that is your problem, as you don't understand what problem you are working on because you are just fundamentally ignorant of what you are
    talking about.


    disproving an ability to enumerate _not_ just computable numbers, but actually _all machines_

    But "All Machines" are enumerable.

    It is the classification of machines as circle-free that isn't
    computable, as would be the effective enumeration of computable numbers.


    which is a contradiction to the premise used to construct the machine in
    the first place

    The Contradiction is in the machine that actually does the effective enumeration.

    The counter example machine exist for any ATTEMPT to build such a machine.

    Thus, we show that any machine you try to create to do the what has been proven to be impossible, can be shown to not meet the requirements by
    giving it the actual existing counter example machine built on your
    actual machine you claim does the job.

    Of course, once you admit that you can't make such a machine, we don't
    need the counter example machine.

    Because Turing's 'H' was built on an assumed 'D', the code of that H is
    just a template until we pair it with some actual attempt at doing D, at
    which point we get an actual instance of that template that is an actual existing machine that show that the attempt failed.

    Calling the template to be a non-existant machine is just an admission
    that the decider it is to be build on can't exist, and thus you can't
    use the non-existance of it to let you ignore it.

    Why won't it be able to simulate it?

    Why should the K's grow differently.

    before for every K, anti_sloppier_H simulates the entirety of
    sloppier_H from 1..K,

    And how does the writing out the program nti-sloppier_H affect
    anything, it still existed as the code for the machine with its
    number.


    i suppose we can adjust it with a steppable runtime:

       anti_sloppier_H = () -> {
         K = 0
         m = steppable_runtime(sloppier_H)
         do {
           res = step(m, K)
           if (res != STEP) {
             output res
             K += 1
           }
         }
       }

    but i don't think this will change anything. it will constantly
    run behind sloppier's K for several reasons:


    1) anti_sloppier_H is simulating sloppier_H's runtime with extra
    steps for each cycle K ... mean sloppier_H's K _must_ grow faster >>>>>> than anti_sloppier_H even when run directly in parallel

    No, it is supposed to be EXACTLY simulating the steps of sloppier_H.

    anti_sloppier_H takes more steps for each step of sloppier_H because
    it needs to check the output of after each step of sloppier_H, to
    see if an output was found, and then advance K if so.

    So?

    That doesn't affect the answer that sloppier_H gives to anti-sloppier_H


    this is done for every step of sloppier_H, so therefore run head to
    head, anti_sloppier_H will output slower than sloppier_H.


    So, that doesn't affect the value of K.

    in fact, anti_sloppier_H cannot output a digit for a particular K
    until /after/ sloppier_H outputs a digit for that particular K...

    Right. and the execution of anti-sloppier_H will EXACTLY follow the
    behavior of sloppier_H (even though at a slower rate) and will
    EXAXTLY output the opposite that sloppier_H outputs.


    so there is no way for anti_sloppier_H to ever output for some
    particular K until after sloppier_H has started looking for at least
    a K+1 digit,

    So?


    meaning sloppier_H will never put anti_sloppier_H on the diagonal

    Right.

    yup

    And thus, your diagonal that you claim to compute doesn't include the required COMPLETE set of computable numbers.

    It seems you beleive errors are acceptable.

    So, why do you complain of people not proving programs to be correct.




    But since anti-sloppier_H WILL fully output a computable number, at
    least as long as your sloppier_H outputs a computable number as the
    diagonal, it needed to in order for the diagonal to be of a complete
    enumeration of computable numbers.

    Sloppier H can NEVER output a digiton its diagonal that matches the
    anti-diagonal computed by anti-slippier-H, and thus the computable
    number it computes can't be in the enumeration that it is working from.


    it is therefore _not_ possible to effectively enumerate _all
    machines_ , in direct contradiction to the obviously effective
    enumerability used to create sloppier_H in the first place


    But the effective enumeration used to create sloppier_H can't be
    complete, and thus isn't a effetive enumeration of a super-set of
    machine the of at least one machine the computes every computable
    number.

    You seem to have forgotten your own requirement that the enumeration
    was to include at least one machine that computes every computable
    number.

    Yes, there are many computably enumerated SUB-sets of the computable
    numbers, just not one for a complete set of them.

    All you are doing is showing you don't understand what it means to be
    correct.

    Maybe you should test your machines to see if they meet your
    requirements, after all, you complaint was about people releasing
    code that wasn't proven to be correct.

    And you keep on releasing things provably INCORRECT.

    i'm not selecting for "computable numbers" with sloppier_H, rick

    But that was the problem you were trying to solve.

    that was...

    but it's not what we are dealing with in sloppier_H



    i'm not selecting for anything in particular, i'm just running any
    whatever machine that we come across, and trying to put it on a diagonal

    In other words, you are just computing garbage.

    You forgot the problem you were working on, and just started to play in
    your garbage.

    Did you forget, that you started by saying, lets allow D to not select
    EVERY non-circular machine, just it needs to select at least one for
    each computable number.

    The computable number of the anti-diagonal isn't in the set of numbers
    your D accepts a machine for.

    And thus you failed at your goal, and forgot about the problem, because
    you attention span is apparently to short to take it to a finish line.

    the process of innovation is inherently serendipitous, rick




    I have shown a way to build a computable number that you enumeration
    doesn't include, and thus it can't be a complete enumeration, as you
    claim it is supposedly by some "magic" assumptions.

    u don't really seem aware of where we've ended up:

    Yep, that is your problem, as you don't understand what problem you are working on because you are just fundamentally ignorant of what you are talking about.

    sloppier_H is not selecting for or even attempting to select for
    "computable sequences"



    disproving an ability to enumerate _not_ just computable numbers, but
    actually _all machines_

    But "All Machines" are enumerable.

    therefore i should be able to construct a diagonal across them of some
    form...

    yet we're stuck with machines that cannot be put on the diagonal,
    therefor _all machines_ is not effectively enumerable

    Again, it seems you don't care if you work can actually be useful, as
    you seem to accept that it is ok to spend a lot of time in mundane
    problems with known solutions, while also adding in booby-traps (like accepting circular machines into your enumeration) that makes
    quantifying what you are doing nearly impossible.





    I have shown a way to build a computable number that you enumeration
    doesn't include, and thus it can't be a complete enumeration, as you
    claim it is supposedly by some "magic" assumptions.

    u don't really seem aware of where we've ended up:

    Yep, that is your problem, as you don't understand what problem you
    are working on because you are just fundamentally ignorant of what you
    are talking about.

    sloppier_H is not selecting for or even attempting to select for
    "computable sequences"

    Then what *IS* its definition.

    It seems just to be sloopy.

    After all, you still seem to use some of the words in you description of
    what the based decider is doing by trying to filter out inputs that hit
    repeat state.




    disproving an ability to enumerate _not_ just computable numbers, but
    actually _all machines_

    But "All Machines" are enumerable.

    therefore i should be able to construct a diagonal across them of some form...

    Nope, not defined (see below)


    yet we're stuck with machines that cannot be put on the diagonal,
    therefor _all machines_ is not effectively enumerable


    No, THIS METHOD can't enumerate all machines.

    Also note, that just because we can enumerate all machines, doesn't mean
    we can "compute the diagonal" of the output of all machines, as some
    machines don't have there output reach the diagonal, since "all
    machines" include circular machines that only output a finite number of digits, so "the diagonal" doesn't exist.

    And we can't even say, extending the circular machine output with some
    symbol, as THAT operation is the equivalent of the halting problem and
    is uncomputable.

    Your logic seems to be based on "gut feelings" and you have a poorly
    tuned gut. You like to talk about what "should" be able to be done, yet
    can't actually justify why you should be, it all comes out of your
    ignorance and inability to actually reason about what you are talking about. --- Synchronet 3.21f-Linux NewsLink 1.2

    And how does the writing out the program nti-sloppier_H affect

    i suppose we can adjust it with a steppable runtime:

       anti_sloppier_H = () -> {

         m = steppable_runtime(sloppier_H)
         do {

           if (res != STEP) {
             output res
             K += 1
           }
         }
       }

    but i don't think this will change anything. it will constantly >>>>>>>> run behind sloppier's K for several reasons:


    1) anti_sloppier_H is simulating sloppier_H's runtime with extra >>>>>>>> steps for each cycle K ... mean sloppier_H's K _must_ grow
    faster than anti_sloppier_H even when run directly in parallel

    No, it is supposed to be EXACTLY simulating the steps of sloppier_H. >>>>>>
    anti_sloppier_H takes more steps for each step of sloppier_H
    because it needs to check the output of after each step of
    sloppier_H, to see if an output was found, and then advance K if so. >>>>>
    So?

    That doesn't affect the answer that sloppier_H gives to anti-
    sloppier_H


    this is done for every step of sloppier_H, so therefore run head
    to head, anti_sloppier_H will output slower than sloppier_H.


    So, that doesn't affect the value of K.

    in fact, anti_sloppier_H cannot output a digit for a particular K >>>>>> until /after/ sloppier_H outputs a digit for that particular K...

    Right. and the execution of anti-sloppier_H will EXACTLY follow the >>>>> behavior of sloppier_H (even though at a slower rate) and will
    EXAXTLY output the opposite that sloppier_H outputs.


    so there is no way for anti_sloppier_H to ever output for some
    particular K until after sloppier_H has started looking for at
    least a K+1 digit,

    So?


    meaning sloppier_H will never put anti_sloppier_H on the diagonal

    Right.

    yup

    And thus, your diagonal that you claim to compute doesn't include the
    required COMPLETE set of computable numbers.

    It seems you beleive errors are acceptable.

    So, why do you complain of people not proving programs to be correct.




    But since anti-sloppier_H WILL fully output a computable number, at >>>>> least as long as your sloppier_H outputs a computable number as the >>>>> diagonal, it needed to in order for the diagonal to be of a

    Sloppier H can NEVER output a digiton its diagonal that matches the >>>>> anti-diagonal computed by anti-slippier-H, and thus the computable
    number it computes can't be in the enumeration that it is working
    from.


    it is therefore _not_ possible to effectively enumerate _all
    machines_ , in direct contradiction to the obviously effective
    enumerability used to create sloppier_H in the first place


    But the effective enumeration used to create sloppier_H can't be
    complete, and thus isn't a effetive enumeration of a super-set of
    machine the of at least one machine the computes every computable
    number.

    You seem to have forgotten your own requirement that the
    enumeration was to include at least one machine that computes every >>>>> computable number.

    Yes, there are many computably enumerated SUB-sets of the
    computable numbers, just not one for a complete set of them.

    All you are doing is showing you don't understand what it means to
    be correct.

    Maybe you should test your machines to see if they meet your
    requirements, after all, you complaint was about people releasing
    code that wasn't proven to be correct.

    And you keep on releasing things provably INCORRECT.

    i'm not selecting for "computable numbers" with sloppier_H, rick

    But that was the problem you were trying to solve.

    that was...

    but it's not what we are dealing with in sloppier_H

    So, what use is that problem, if you are admitting that you can't
    compute the diagonal of an enumeration that includes all computable
    numbers? (which is at least close to what Turing was talking about).

    Computing the diagonal of a comuptable enumeration that is admittedly containing only a subset of the computable numbers is just not interesting.

    Again, as I pointed out a long time ago, if you allow yourself to just wonder off into uninteresting problems with no attempt to justify why
    they might be interesting because you are doing them better that how
    they have been done before, you are just wasting everyone's time.




    i'm not selecting for anything in particular, i'm just running any
    whatever machine that we come across, and trying to put it on a
    diagonal

    In other words, you are just computing garbage.

    You forgot the problem you were working on, and just started to play
    in your garbage.

    Did you forget, that you started by saying, lets allow D to not
    select EVERY non-circular machine, just it needs to select at least
    one for each computable number.

    The computable number of the anti-diagonal isn't in the set of
    numbers your D accepts a machine for.

    And thus you failed at your goal, and forgot about the problem,
    because you attention span is apparently to short to take it to a
    finish line.

    the process of innovation is inherently serendipitous, rick

    And when you let yourself wonder into mundane and non-inovative areas,
    you can waste a LOT of time.

    god only knows what u think ur doing


    Again, it seems you don't care if you work can actually be useful, as
    you seem to accept that it is ok to spend a lot of time in mundane
    problems with known solutions, while also adding in booby-traps (like accepting circular machines into your enumeration) that makes
    quantifying what you are doing nearly impossible.





    I have shown a way to build a computable number that you

    No, THIS METHOD can't enumerate all machines.

    Also note, that just because we can enumerate all machines, doesn't mean
    we can "compute the diagonal" of the output of all machines, as some

    if i mean if machine enumerability _does not imply_ being able to
    compute a diagonal across the machines being enumerated,

    ei: if enumerability of a set of machines is independent from being able
    to compute a diagonal across the set of machine,

    then one _cannot_ use an inability to compute a diagonal to prove a lack
    of enumerability, and u've lost turing's proof against the enumerability
    of computable numbers

    machines don't have there output reach the diagonal, since "all
    machines" include circular machines that only output a finite number of digits, so "the diagonal" doesn't exist.

    And we can't even say, extending the circular machine output with some symbol, as THAT operation is the equivalent of the halting problem and

    clearly if we're not specifically selecting for computable numbers, just simulating every machine independently ...

    certainly we should be able to create a diagonal from that

    i suppose we can adjust it with a steppable runtime:

       }

    but i don't think this will change anything. it will constantly >>>>>>>>> run behind sloppier's K for several reasons:

    No, it is supposed to be EXACTLY simulating the steps of
    sloppier_H.

    anti_sloppier_H takes more steps for each step of sloppier_H
    because it needs to check the output of after each step of
    sloppier_H, to see if an output was found, and then advance K if so. >>>>>>
    So?

    That doesn't affect the answer that sloppier_H gives to anti-

    this is done for every step of sloppier_H, so therefore run head >>>>>>> to head, anti_sloppier_H will output slower than sloppier_H.


    So, that doesn't affect the value of K.

    so there is no way for anti_sloppier_H to ever output for some

    So?


    meaning sloppier_H will never put anti_sloppier_H on the diagonal >>>>>>
    Right.

    yup

    And thus, your diagonal that you claim to compute doesn't include
    the required COMPLETE set of computable numbers.

    It seems you beleive errors are acceptable.

    So, why do you complain of people not proving programs to be correct.




    But since anti-sloppier_H WILL fully output a computable number,
    at least as long as your sloppier_H outputs a computable number as >>>>>> the diagonal, it needed to in order for the diagonal to be of a
    complete enumeration of computable numbers.

    Sloppier H can NEVER output a digiton its diagonal that matches
    the anti-diagonal computed by anti-slippier-H, and thus the
    computable number it computes can't be in the enumeration that it >>>>>> is working from.


    it is therefore _not_ possible to effectively enumerate _all
    machines_ , in direct contradiction to the obviously effective
    enumerability used to create sloppier_H in the first place


    But the effective enumeration used to create sloppier_H can't be
    complete, and thus isn't a effetive enumeration of a super-set of >>>>>> machine the of at least one machine the computes every computable >>>>>> number.

    You seem to have forgotten your own requirement that the
    enumeration was to include at least one machine that computes
    every computable number.

    Yes, there are many computably enumerated SUB-sets of the
    computable numbers, just not one for a complete set of them.

    All you are doing is showing you don't understand what it means to >>>>>> be correct.

    Maybe you should test your machines to see if they meet your

    And you keep on releasing things provably INCORRECT.

    i'm not selecting for "computable numbers" with sloppier_H, rick

    But that was the problem you were trying to solve.

    that was...

    but it's not what we are dealing with in sloppier_H

    So, what use is that problem, if you are admitting that you can't
    compute the diagonal of an enumeration that includes all computable
    numbers? (which is at least close to what Turing was talking about).

    Computing the diagonal of a comuptable enumeration that is admittedly
    containing only a subset of the computable numbers is just not
    interesting.

    Again, as I pointed out a long time ago, if you allow yourself to just
    wonder off into uninteresting problems with no attempt to justify why
    they might be interesting because you are doing them better that how
    they have been done before, you are just wasting everyone's time.




    i'm not selecting for anything in particular, i'm just running any
    whatever machine that we come across, and trying to put it on a
    diagonal

    In other words, you are just computing garbage.

    You forgot the problem you were working on, and just started to play
    in your garbage.

    Did you forget, that you started by saying, lets allow D to not
    select EVERY non-circular machine, just it needs to select at least
    one for each computable number.

    The computable number of the anti-diagonal isn't in the set of
    numbers your D accepts a machine for.

    And thus you failed at your goal, and forgot about the problem,
    because you attention span is apparently to short to take it to a
    finish line.

    the process of innovation is inherently serendipitous, rick

    And when you let yourself wonder into mundane and non-inovative areas,
    you can waste a LOT of time.

    god only knows what u think ur doing

    Yes, he knows, and the fact you can't see it shows your problem.





    Again, it seems you don't care if you work can actually be useful, as
    you seem to accept that it is ok to spend a lot of time in mundane
    problems with known solutions, while also adding in booby-traps (like
    accepting circular machines into your enumeration) that makes
    quantifying what you are doing nearly impossible.





    I have shown a way to build a computable number that you
    enumeration doesn't include, and thus it can't be a complete
    enumeration, as you claim it is supposedly by some "magic"
    assumptions.

    u don't really seem aware of where we've ended up:

    Yep, that is your problem, as you don't understand what problem you
    are working on because you are just fundamentally ignorant of what
    you are talking about.

    sloppier_H is not selecting for or even attempting to select for
    "computable sequences"

    Then what *IS* its definition.

    It seems just to be sloopy.

    After all, you still seem to use some of the words in you description
    of what the based decider is doing by trying to filter out inputs that
    hit repeat state.




    disproving an ability to enumerate _not_ just computable numbers,
    but actually _all machines_

    But "All Machines" are enumerable.

    therefore i should be able to construct a diagonal across them of
    some form...

    Nope, not defined (see below)


    yet we're stuck with machines that cannot be put on the diagonal,
    therefor _all machines_ is not effectively enumerable


    No, THIS METHOD can't enumerate all machines.

    Also note, that just because we can enumerate all machines, doesn't
    mean we can "compute the diagonal" of the output of all machines, as some

    if i mean if machine enumerability _does not imply_ being able to
    compute a diagonal across the machines being enumerated,

    WHy should it. Many machines are circular, and thus might not REACH the diagonal. Hard to compute a diagonal with "holes" in it (since "hole"
    isn't a valid symbol)


    ei: if enumerability of a set of machines is independent from being able
    to compute a diagonal across the set of machine,

    then one _cannot_ use an inability to compute a diagonal to prove a lack
    of enumerability, and u've lost turing's proof against the enumerability
    of computable numbers

    Which showds you don't understand the difference between just
    enumerating any ol machine, and enumerating circle-free machines.

    The point is that the proof used the fact that the ability to compute an enumeration of computable numbers implies by the construction of
    Turing's H that we must be able to compute the diagonal.

    But, that machine created a paradox for the enumerator, meaning it
    couldn't create the enumeration.

    But, of course, understand how proofs work seems to be beyond your
    ability to reason since you like to assume you can do the impossible.


    machines don't have there output reach the diagonal, since "all
    machines" include circular machines that only output a finite number
    of digits, so "the diagonal" doesn't exist.

    And we can't even say, extending the circular machine output with some
    symbol, as THAT operation is the equivalent of the halting problem and
    is uncomputable.

    clearly if we're not specifically selecting for computable numbers, just simulating every machine independently ...

    certainly we should be able to create a diagonal from that

    Sure, but a diagonal that doesn't mean anything.

    You don't see to understand that being able to compute a problem that
    only has passing simulatity to the uncomutable problems, but missing key aspects, doesn't actually mean anything. THere are lots of computable problems, so making another worthless one isn't worth anything.



    Your logic seems to be based on "gut feelings" and you have a poorly
    tuned gut. You like to talk about what "should" be able to be done,
    yet can't actually justify why you should be, it all comes out of your
    ignorance and inability to actually reason about what you are talking
    about.

    u too rick


    Nope, but of course, you can't see the difference, since you don't seem
    to understand logic.

    Good Luck and finding anyone who want to support your work. Maybe you
    are going to need to learn how to dig ditches or sling burgers to make a living.

    we can avoid that using a stepping simulation while

    It seems just to be sloopy.

    After all, you still seem to use some of the words in you description
    of what the based decider is doing by trying to filter out inputs
    that hit repeat state.




    disproving an ability to enumerate _not_ just computable numbers, >>>>>> but actually _all machines_

    But "All Machines" are enumerable.

    therefore i should be able to construct a diagonal across them of

    Nope, not defined (see below)


    yet we're stuck with machines that cannot be put on the diagonal,
    therefor _all machines_ is not effectively enumerable


    No, THIS METHOD can't enumerate all machines.

    Also note, that just because we can enumerate all machines, doesn't
    mean we can "compute the diagonal" of the output of all machines, as
    some

    if i mean if machine enumerability _does not imply_ being able to
    compute a diagonal across the machines being enumerated,

    WHy should it. Many machines are circular, and thus might not REACH the diagonal. Hard to compute a diagonal with "holes" in it (since "hole"
    isn't a valid symbol)


    ei: if enumerability of a set of machines is independent from being
    able to compute a diagonal across the set of machine,

    then one _cannot_ use an inability to compute a diagonal to prove a
    lack of enumerability, and u've lost turing's proof against the
    enumerability of computable numbers

    Which showds you don't understand the difference between just
    enumerating any ol machine, and enumerating circle-free machines.

    enumerating a set of machines is enumerating a set of machines eh????

    why does failing to produce a diagonal for one set (computable numbers)
    imply it's not effectively enumerability,

    but failing to produce a diagonal for the other (all machines) does not
    impact it's effective enumerability???

    seems like special pleading to me


    The point is that the proof used the fact that the ability to compute an enumeration of computable numbers implies by the construction of
    Turing's H that we must be able to compute the diagonal.

    for sloppier_H it seems we can classify machines into a few categories:

    - machines that halt slow enough to have a digit put the diagonal
    - machine that halt too quickly and end up as a 0 on the diagonal
    - circular machines that produce digits fast enough to be put on the
    diagonal
    - circular machines that produce too slow to be put on the diagonal
    (includes ones that stop producing digits but keep running)
    - circle-free machines that output digits fast enough to be put on the diagonal
    - circle-free machines that output digit too slowly to be put on the
    diagonal

    did i miss any?


    But, that machine created a paradox for the enumerator, meaning it
    couldn't create the enumeration.

    But, of course, understand how proofs work seems to be beyond your
    ability to reason since you like to assume you can do the impossible.


    machines don't have there output reach the diagonal, since "all
    machines" include circular machines that only output a finite number
    of digits, so "the diagonal" doesn't exist.

    And we can't even say, extending the circular machine output with
    some symbol, as THAT operation is the equivalent of the halting
    problem and is uncomputable.

    clearly if we're not specifically selecting for computable numbers,
    just simulating every machine independently ...

    certainly we should be able to create a diagonal from that

    Sure, but a diagonal that doesn't mean anything.

    sure??? _but we cannot_ produce that diagonal, as i just have shown


    You don't see to understand that being able to compute a problem that
    only has passing simulatity to the uncomutable problems, but missing key aspects, doesn't actually mean anything. THere are lots of computable problems, so making another worthless one isn't worth anything.



    Your logic seems to be based on "gut feelings" and you have a poorly

    i suppose we can adjust it with a steppable runtime:

         }
       }

    but i don't think this will change anything. it will
    constantly run behind sloppier's K for several reasons:


    1) anti_sloppier_H is simulating sloppier_H's runtime with >>>>>>>>>>> extra steps for each cycle K ... mean sloppier_H's K _must_ >>>>>>>>>>> grow faster than anti_sloppier_H even when run directly in >>>>>>>>>>> parallel

    No, it is supposed to be EXACTLY simulating the steps of

    anti_sloppier_H takes more steps for each step of sloppier_H >>>>>>>>> because it needs to check the output of after each step of

    So?

    That doesn't affect the answer that sloppier_H gives to anti- >>>>>>>> sloppier_H


    this is done for every step of sloppier_H, so therefore run >>>>>>>>> head to head, anti_sloppier_H will output slower than sloppier_H. >>>>>>>>>

    So, that doesn't affect the value of K.

    in fact, anti_sloppier_H cannot output a digit for a particular >>>>>>>>> K until /after/ sloppier_H outputs a digit for that particular >>>>>>>>> K...

    yup

    Yes, there are many computably enumerated SUB-sets of the
    computable numbers, just not one for a complete set of them.

    Maybe you should test your machines to see if they meet your
    requirements, after all, you complaint was about people
    releasing code that wasn't proven to be correct.

    And you keep on releasing things provably INCORRECT.

    i'm not selecting for "computable numbers" with sloppier_H, rick

    But that was the problem you were trying to solve.

    that was...

    but it's not what we are dealing with in sloppier_H

    So, what use is that problem, if you are admitting that you can't
    compute the diagonal of an enumeration that includes all computable
    numbers? (which is at least close to what Turing was talking about).

    Computing the diagonal of a comuptable enumeration that is
    admittedly containing only a subset of the computable numbers is
    just not interesting.

    Again, as I pointed out a long time ago, if you allow yourself to
    just wonder off into uninteresting problems with no attempt to
    justify why they might be interesting because you are doing them
    better that how they have been done before, you are just wasting
    everyone's time.




    i'm not selecting for anything in particular, i'm just running
    any whatever machine that we come across, and trying to put it on >>>>>>> a diagonal

    In other words, you are just computing garbage.

    You forgot the problem you were working on, and just started to
    play in your garbage.

    Did you forget, that you started by saying, lets allow D to not
    select EVERY non-circular machine, just it needs to select at
    least one for each computable number.

    The computable number of the anti-diagonal isn't in the set of
    numbers your D accepts a machine for.

    And thus you failed at your goal, and forgot about the problem,
    because you attention span is apparently to short to take it to a >>>>>> finish line.

    the process of innovation is inherently serendipitous, rick

    And when you let yourself wonder into mundane and non-inovative
    areas, you can waste a LOT of time.

    god only knows what u think ur doing

    Yes, he knows, and the fact you can't see it shows your problem.



    Again, it seems you don't care if you work can actually be useful,
    as you seem to accept that it is ok to spend a lot of time in
    mundane problems with known solutions, while also adding in booby-
    traps (like accepting circular machines into your enumeration) that
    makes quantifying what you are doing nearly impossible.





    I have shown a way to build a computable number that you
    enumeration doesn't include, and thus it can't be a complete
    enumeration, as you claim it is supposedly by some "magic"
    assumptions.

    u don't really seem aware of where we've ended up:

    why does failing to produce a diagonal for one set (computable numbers) imply it's not effectively enumerability,

    Because if it WAS effectively enumerable, you could, because we could
    build the diagonal (or anti-diagonal) computation from the algorithm of
    the effective enumeration.


    but failing to produce a diagonal for the other (all machines) does not impact it's effective enumerability???

    Because for the latter, the "diagonal" doesn't exist, as some points on
    the diagonal don't have symbols on them.

    but the class of machines that are being analized don't HAVE a halt
    condition. The variation of machines that are looked at here don't have conditions that cause them to stop, only get caught in circles.

    - circular machines that produce digits fast enough to be put on the diagonal
    - circular machines that produce too slow to be put on the diagonal (includes ones that stop producing digits but keep running)
    - circle-free machines that output digits fast enough to be put on the diagonal
    - circle-free machines that output digit too slowly to be put on the diagonal

    did i miss any?

    Who cares, you admit that it doesn't get all computable numbers, and
    thus is an uninteresting subset of machines.

    Since you admit you don't know and don't care about what the set
    actually is, why should anyone else.



    But, that machine created a paradox for the enumerator, meaning it

    i suppose we can adjust it with a steppable runtime:

    but i don't think this will change anything. it will

    So?

    No, THIS METHOD can't enumerate all machines.

    if i mean if machine enumerability _does not imply_ being able to

    WHy should it. Many machines are circular, and thus might not REACH
    the diagonal. Hard to compute a diagonal with "holes" in it (since
    "hole" isn't a valid symbol)


    ei: if enumerability of a set of machines is independent from being
    able to compute a diagonal across the set of machine,

    then one _cannot_ use an inability to compute a diagonal to prove a
    lack of enumerability, and u've lost turing's proof against the
    enumerability of computable numbers

    Which showds you don't understand the difference between just
    enumerating any ol machine, and enumerating circle-free machines.

    enumerating a set of machines is enumerating a set of machines eh????

    why does failing to produce a diagonal for one set (computable
    numbers) imply it's not effectively enumerability,

    Because if it WAS effectively enumerable, you could, because we could
    build the diagonal (or anti-diagonal) computation from the algorithm of
    the effective enumeration.

    clearly building a diagonal is not required for a set of machines to be effectively enumerable ...

    and stop insulting me to make up for ur lack of consistency in principles

    Which showds you don't understand the difference between just

    enumerating a set of machines is enumerating a set of machines eh????

    why does failing to produce a diagonal for one set (computable
    numbers) imply it's not effectively enumerability,

    Because if it WAS effectively enumerable, you could, because we could
    build the diagonal (or anti-diagonal) computation from the algorithm
    of the effective enumeration.

    clearly building a diagonal is not required for a set of machines to be effectively enumerable ..

    But automatically becomes possible, if the enumeration creates a full
    matrix of results, as a diagonal exists.

    Of course if there isn't a diagonal, because not every machine reaches
    it, you can't compute it.

    But then, that is just your imagining unicorns again.


    and stop insulting me to make up for ur lack of consistency in principles


    What inconsistency?

    All you are doing is showing your ignorance and stupidity.\

    My guess is you are not going to actually answer with a real

    why does failing to produce a diagonal for one set (computable
    numbers) imply it's not effectively enumerability,

    Because if it WAS effectively enumerable, you could, because we could
    build the diagonal (or anti-diagonal) computation from the algorithm
    of the effective enumeration.

    clearly building a diagonal is not required for a set of machines to
    be effectively enumerable ..

    But automatically becomes possible, if the enumeration creates a full
    matrix of results, as a diagonal exists.

    even if u can enumerate the set of machines,

    it's still possible to define a machines that can't be put on any
    diagonal because it's based off the output of the diagonal computation itself...

    like what i did with the set of _all_ machines


    Of course if there isn't a diagonal, because not every machine reaches
    it, you can't compute it.

    But then, that is just your imagining unicorns again.


    and stop insulting me to make up for ur lack of consistency in principles


    What inconsistency?

    can't compute diagonal across computable numbers => proof against
    effective enumerability

    can't compute diagonal across all executable machines => not proof
    against effective enumerability

    totally inconsistent rick, and idk how to make that more clear tbh


    All you are doing is showing your ignorance and stupidity.\

    My guess is you are not going to actually answer with a real
    inconsistance, but just throw out a strawman, and that is your modus operandi.

    Then the matrix of number doesn't reach the diagonal and the diagonal
    doesn't exist.

    As I said, *IF* the enumeration actually creates a diagonal, as all the machines generate enough data to reach it, you can compute the diagonal.

    Of course you can't compute a diagonal that doesn't exist.

    It seems you are riding your Unicorn again of a enumeration of machine
    that all reach the diagonal with a machine in that which doesn't reach

    Of course if there isn't a diagonal, because not every machine reaches

    What inconsistency?

    can't compute diagonal across all executable machines => not proof

    Sure, because the diagonal doesn't need to exist, so that can be the
    reason you can't compute it.


    totally inconsistent rick, and idk how to make that more clear tbh

    Just like your K < K claim, since that diagonal computation apparently
    reached the diagonal in one view to create it, but also can't reach it
    to compute it.

    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Its ok to not to be able to compute something that doesn't exist (like
    the diagonal of an enumeration that includes circular machines) so there
    isn't a diagonal to compute.

    That is like the inability to compute an even prime greater than 2
    doesn't affect our ability to compute other primes.



    All you are doing is showing your ignorance and stupidity.\

    My guess is you are not going to actually answer with a real
    inconsistance, but just throw out a strawman, and that is your modus

    ei: if enumerability of a set of machines is independent from >>>>>>>> being able to compute a diagonal across the set of machine,

    then one _cannot_ use an inability to compute a diagonal to
    prove a lack of enumerability, and u've lost turing's proof
    against the enumerability of computable numbers

    Which showds you don't understand the difference between just
    enumerating any ol machine, and enumerating circle-free machines. >>>>>>
    enumerating a set of machines is enumerating a set of machines eh???? >>>>>>
    why does failing to produce a diagonal for one set (computable
    numbers) imply it's not effectively enumerability,

    Because if it WAS effectively enumerable, you could, because we
    could build the diagonal (or anti-diagonal) computation from the
    algorithm of the effective enumeration.

    clearly building a diagonal is not required for a set of machines to
    be effectively enumerable ..

    But automatically becomes possible, if the enumeration creates a full
    matrix of results, as a diagonal exists.

    even if u can enumerate the set of machines,

    it's still possible to define a machines that can't be put on any
    diagonal because it's based off the output of the diagonal computation
    itself...

    like what i did with the set of _all_ machines

    Then the matrix of number doesn't reach the diagonal and the diagonal doesn't exist.

    As I said, *IF* the enumeration actually creates a diagonal, as all the machines generate enough data to reach it, you can compute the diagonal.

    Of course you can't compute a diagonal that doesn't exist.

    It seems you are riding your Unicorn again of a enumeration of machine
    that all reach the diagonal with a machine in that which doesn't reach
    the diagonal.




    Of course if there isn't a diagonal, because not every machine
    reaches it, you can't compute it.

    But then, that is just your imagining unicorns again.


    and stop insulting me to make up for ur lack of consistency in
    principles


    What inconsistency?

    can't compute diagonal across computable numbers => proof against
    effective enumerability

    can't compute diagonal across all executable machines => not proof
    against effective enumerability

    Sure, because the diagonal doesn't need to exist, so that can be the
    reason you can't compute it.


    totally inconsistent rick, and idk how to make that more clear tbh

    Just like your K < K claim, since that diagonal computation apparently reached the diagonal in one view to create it, but also can't reach it
    to compute it.

    i'm sorry are you having trouble understanding

    (a) why anti_sloppier_H will _never_ output a K within sloppier_H?

    even if (b) anti_sloppier_H _is_ a computable number?

    do u disagree with either (a) or (b)???

    cause if so, we should talk about that


    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Its ok to not to be able to compute something that doesn't exist (like
    the diagonal of an enumeration that includes circular machines) so there isn't a diagonal to compute.

    That is like the inability to compute an even prime greater than 2
    doesn't affect our ability to compute other primes.



    All you are doing is showing your ignorance and stupidity.\

    My guess is you are not going to actually answer with a real
    inconsistance, but just throw out a strawman, and that is your modus
    operandi.

    enumerating a set of machines is enumerating a set of machines
    eh????

    why does failing to produce a diagonal for one set (computable
    numbers) imply it's not effectively enumerability,

    Because if it WAS effectively enumerable, you could, because we
    could build the diagonal (or anti-diagonal) computation from the
    algorithm of the effective enumeration.

    clearly building a diagonal is not required for a set of machines
    to be effectively enumerable ..

    But automatically becomes possible, if the enumeration creates a
    full matrix of results, as a diagonal exists.

    even if u can enumerate the set of machines,

    it's still possible to define a machines that can't be put on any
    diagonal because it's based off the output of the diagonal
    computation itself...

    like what i did with the set of _all_ machines

    Then the matrix of number doesn't reach the diagonal and the diagonal
    doesn't exist.

    As I said, *IF* the enumeration actually creates a diagonal, as all
    the machines generate enough data to reach it, you can compute the
    diagonal.

    Of course you can't compute a diagonal that doesn't exist.

    It seems you are riding your Unicorn again of a enumeration of machine
    that all reach the diagonal with a machine in that which doesn't reach
    the diagonal.




    Of course if there isn't a diagonal, because not every machine
    reaches it, you can't compute it.

    But then, that is just your imagining unicorns again.


    and stop insulting me to make up for ur lack of consistency in
    principles


    What inconsistency?

    can't compute diagonal across computable numbers => proof against
    effective enumerability

    can't compute diagonal across all executable machines => not proof
    against effective enumerability

    Sure, because the diagonal doesn't need to exist, so that can be the
    reason you can't compute it.


    totally inconsistent rick, and idk how to make that more clear tbh

    Just like your K < K claim, since that diagonal computation apparently
    reached the diagonal in one view to create it, but also can't reach it
    to compute it.

    i'm sorry are you having trouble understanding

    (a) why anti_sloppier_H will _never_ output a K within sloppier_H?

    even if (b) anti_sloppier_H _is_ a computable number?

    do u disagree with either (a) or (b)???

    cause if so, we should talk about that

    The problem is that since you have admitted that your enumaration that sloppier_H is incomplete, it is uninteresting.

    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about.

    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K" isn't a VALUE output, but the id number of the row being output, and the digit on that
    row being outputed.

    Your just implied that every row makes it to the diagonal, as sloppier_H
    can generate the diagonal, which means that anti_sloppier_H can't be in
    that enumeration, and thus anti_sloppier_H can't get "stuck" on it
    trying to get there.

    For sloppier_H to work, the Kth row need to compute at least K digits,
    and thus any machine like turing's original H that looks to see what it
    does can't be on the diagonal.

    You fix the issue for sloppier_H with your reference to a special
    number, but anti_sloppier_H won't do that, so sloppier_H will never put
    it on the diagonal

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H uses the same "special self-reference" number
    as sloppier_H, NOT its own, and thus it WILL get the anti-diagonal that
    is the opposite of sloppier_H, and won't get hung up on itself, since
    neither did sloppier_H get hung up on anti_sloppier_H.

    Otherwise, you are just showing that you just refuse to follow
    instructions, possible because you are just mentally unable to do
    accurate work because "correct" isn't a word you understand.



    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Its ok to not to be able to compute something that doesn't exist (like
    the diagonal of an enumeration that includes circular machines) so
    there isn't a diagonal to compute.

    That is like the inability to compute an even prime greater than 2
    doesn't affect our ability to compute other primes.



    All you are doing is showing your ignorance and stupidity.\

    My guess is you are not going to actually answer with a real
    inconsistance, but just throw out a strawman, and that is your modus
    operandi.

    clearly building a diagonal is not required for a set of machines >>>>>> to be effectively enumerable ..

    But automatically becomes possible, if the enumeration creates a
    full matrix of results, as a diagonal exists.

    even if u can enumerate the set of machines,

    it's still possible to define a machines that can't be put on any
    diagonal because it's based off the output of the diagonal
    computation itself...

    like what i did with the set of _all_ machines

    Then the matrix of number doesn't reach the diagonal and the diagonal
    doesn't exist.

    As I said, *IF* the enumeration actually creates a diagonal, as all
    the machines generate enough data to reach it, you can compute the
    diagonal.

    Of course you can't compute a diagonal that doesn't exist.

    It seems you are riding your Unicorn again of a enumeration of
    machine that all reach the diagonal with a machine in that which
    doesn't reach the diagonal.




    Of course if there isn't a diagonal, because not every machine
    reaches it, you can't compute it.

    But then, that is just your imagining unicorns again.


    and stop insulting me to make up for ur lack of consistency in
    principles


    What inconsistency?

    can't compute diagonal across computable numbers => proof against
    effective enumerability

    can't compute diagonal across all executable machines => not proof
    against effective enumerability

    Sure, because the diagonal doesn't need to exist, so that can be the
    reason you can't compute it.


    totally inconsistent rick, and idk how to make that more clear tbh

    Just like your K < K claim, since that diagonal computation
    apparently reached the diagonal in one view to create it, but also
    can't reach it to compute it.

    i'm sorry are you having trouble understanding

    (a) why anti_sloppier_H will _never_ output a K within sloppier_H?

    even if (b) anti_sloppier_H _is_ a computable number?

    do u disagree with either (a) or (b)???

    cause if so, we should talk about that

    The problem is that since you have admitted that your enumaration that sloppier_H is incomplete, it is uninteresting.

    i think it's _very_ interesting that despite have a method to enumerate
    _all_ machines, which includes _all_ computable numbers, it's still not possible to put all the computable numbers within that set on a diagonal:

    clearly being able to enumerate a set of machines, does _not_ then imply
    one can certainly construct a diagonal across the computable numbers
    within that set


    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about.

    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K" isn't a VALUE output, but the id number of the row being output, and the digit on that
    row being outputed.

    Your just implied that every row makes it to the diagonal, as sloppier_H
    can generate the diagonal, which means that anti_sloppier_H can't be in
    that enumeration, and thus anti_sloppier_H can't get "stuck" on it
    trying to get there.

    For sloppier_H to work, the Kth row need to compute at least K digits,
    and thus any machine like turing's original H that looks to see what it
    does can't be on the diagonal.

    You fix the issue for sloppier_H with your reference to a special
    number, but anti_sloppier_H won't do that, so sloppier_H will never put
    it on the diagonal

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H uses the same "special self-reference" number
    as sloppier_H, NOT its own, and thus it WILL get the anti-diagonal that
    is the opposite of sloppier_H, and won't get hung up on itself, since neither did sloppier_H get hung up on anti_sloppier_H.

    Otherwise, you are just showing that you just refuse to follow
    instructions, possible because you are just mentally unable to do
    accurate work because "correct" isn't a word you understand.

    y do u think i disagree with any of that?




    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Its ok to not to be able to compute something that doesn't exist
    (like the diagonal of an enumeration that includes circular machines)
    so there isn't a diagonal to compute.

    That is like the inability to compute an even prime greater than 2
    doesn't affect our ability to compute other primes.



    All you are doing is showing your ignorance and stupidity.\

    My guess is you are not going to actually answer with a real
    inconsistance, but just throw out a strawman, and that is your
    modus operandi.

    clearly building a diagonal is not required for a set of machines >>>>>>> to be effectively enumerable ..

    But automatically becomes possible, if the enumeration creates a
    full matrix of results, as a diagonal exists.

    even if u can enumerate the set of machines,

    it's still possible to define a machines that can't be put on any
    diagonal because it's based off the output of the diagonal
    computation itself...

    like what i did with the set of _all_ machines

    Then the matrix of number doesn't reach the diagonal and the
    diagonal doesn't exist.

    As I said, *IF* the enumeration actually creates a diagonal, as all
    the machines generate enough data to reach it, you can compute the
    diagonal.

    Of course you can't compute a diagonal that doesn't exist.

    It seems you are riding your Unicorn again of a enumeration of
    machine that all reach the diagonal with a machine in that which
    doesn't reach the diagonal.




    Of course if there isn't a diagonal, because not every machine
    reaches it, you can't compute it.

    But then, that is just your imagining unicorns again.


    and stop insulting me to make up for ur lack of consistency in
    principles


    What inconsistency?

    can't compute diagonal across computable numbers => proof against
    effective enumerability

    can't compute diagonal across all executable machines => not proof
    against effective enumerability

    Sure, because the diagonal doesn't need to exist, so that can be the
    reason you can't compute it.


    totally inconsistent rick, and idk how to make that more clear tbh

    Just like your K < K claim, since that diagonal computation
    apparently reached the diagonal in one view to create it, but also
    can't reach it to compute it.

    i'm sorry are you having trouble understanding

    (a) why anti_sloppier_H will _never_ output a K within sloppier_H?

    even if (b) anti_sloppier_H _is_ a computable number?

    do u disagree with either (a) or (b)???

    cause if so, we should talk about that

    The problem is that since you have admitted that your enumaration that
    sloppier_H is incomplete, it is uninteresting.

    i think it's _very_ interesting that despite have a method to enumerate _all_ machines, which includes _all_ computable numbers, it's still not possible to put all the computable numbers within that set on a diagonal:

    Right, because you can't create the "diagonal" for all machines, as it
    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running all
    machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal.

    It seems you have a fundamental problem about thinking through the requirements, as "requirements" are just optional ideas to you.



    clearly being able to enumerate a set of machines, does _not_ then imply
    one can certainly construct a diagonal across the computable numbers
    within that set

    Because the determination that a given machine create a computable
    number is an uncomputable operation.

    What is so hard about that?



    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about.

    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K" isn't a
    VALUE output, but the id number of the row being output, and the digit
    on that row being outputed.

    Your just implied that every row makes it to the diagonal, as
    sloppier_H can generate the diagonal, which means that anti_sloppier_H
    can't be in that enumeration, and thus anti_sloppier_H can't get
    "stuck" on it trying to get there.

    For sloppier_H to work, the Kth row need to compute at least K digits,
    and thus any machine like turing's original H that looks to see what
    it does can't be on the diagonal.

    You fix the issue for sloppier_H with your reference to a special
    number, but anti_sloppier_H won't do that, so sloppier_H will never
    put it on the diagonal

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H uses the same "special self-reference"
    number as sloppier_H, NOT its own, and thus it WILL get the anti-
    diagonal that is the opposite of sloppier_H, and won't get hung up on
    itself, since neither did sloppier_H get hung up on anti_sloppier_H.

    Otherwise, you are just showing that you just refuse to follow
    instructions, possible because you are just mentally unable to do
    accurate work because "correct" isn't a word you understand.

    y do u think i disagree with any of that?

    So, you agree with the statement that you just refuse to follow
    instructions because you are mentally unable to do accurate work becuae "correct" isn't a word you understand?

    At least you know that you are that stupid, you just don't understand
    what that impies.





    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Its ok to not to be able to compute something that doesn't exist
    (like the diagonal of an enumeration that includes circular
    machines) so there isn't a diagonal to compute.

    That is like the inability to compute an even prime greater than 2
    doesn't affect our ability to compute other primes.



    All you are doing is showing your ignorance and stupidity.\

    My guess is you are not going to actually answer with a real
    inconsistance, but just throw out a strawman, and that is your
    modus operandi.

    Of course if there isn't a diagonal, because not every machine

    Just like your K < K claim, since that diagonal computation
    apparently reached the diagonal in one view to create it, but also
    can't reach it to compute it.

    i'm sorry are you having trouble understanding

    (a) why anti_sloppier_H will _never_ output a K within sloppier_H?

    even if (b) anti_sloppier_H _is_ a computable number?

    do u disagree with either (a) or (b)???

    cause if so, we should talk about that

    The problem is that since you have admitted that your enumaration
    that sloppier_H is incomplete, it is uninteresting.

    i think it's _very_ interesting that despite have a method to
    enumerate _all_ machines, which includes _all_ computable numbers,
    it's still not possible to put all the computable numbers within that
    set on a diagonal:

    Right, because you can't create the "diagonal" for all machines, as it

    you _can_ enumerate them...

    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running all
    machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal.

    that's fine, the sloppier_H diagonal does not care...

    but all the computable numbers _should_ reach the diagonal, because they
    _all_ produce an infinite sequence...

    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation, given
    we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't happen


    It seems you have a fundamental problem about thinking through the requirements, as "requirements" are just optional ideas to you.



    clearly being able to enumerate a set of machines, does _not_ then
    imply one can certainly construct a diagonal across the computable
    numbers within that set

    Because the determination that a given machine create a computable
    number is an uncomputable operation.

    What is so hard about that?

    that determination is _still_ not involved with the sloppier_H
    computation that i proposed




    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about.

    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K" isn't a
    VALUE output, but the id number of the row being output, and the
    digit on that row being outputed.

    Your just implied that every row makes it to the diagonal, as
    sloppier_H can generate the diagonal, which means that
    anti_sloppier_H can't be in that enumeration, and thus
    anti_sloppier_H can't get "stuck" on it trying to get there.

    For sloppier_H to work, the Kth row need to compute at least K
    digits, and thus any machine like turing's original H that looks to
    see what it does can't be on the diagonal.

    You fix the issue for sloppier_H with your reference to a special
    number, but anti_sloppier_H won't do that, so sloppier_H will never
    put it on the diagonal

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H uses the same "special self-reference"
    number as sloppier_H, NOT its own, and thus it WILL get the anti-
    diagonal that is the opposite of sloppier_H, and won't get hung up on
    itself, since neither did sloppier_H get hung up on anti_sloppier_H.

    Otherwise, you are just showing that you just refuse to follow
    instructions, possible because you are just mentally unable to do
    accurate work because "correct" isn't a word you understand.

    y do u think i disagree with any of that?

    So, you agree with the statement that you just refuse to follow
    instructions because you are mentally unable to do accurate work becuae "correct" isn't a word you understand?

    At least you know that you are that stupid, you just don't understand
    what that impies.

    lol, talk about bad faith discussion dick






    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Its ok to not to be able to compute something that doesn't exist
    (like the diagonal of an enumeration that includes circular
    machines) so there isn't a diagonal to compute.

    That is like the inability to compute an even prime greater than 2
    doesn't affect our ability to compute other primes.



    All you are doing is showing your ignorance and stupidity.\

    My guess is you are not going to actually answer with a real
    inconsistance, but just throw out a strawman, and that is your
    modus operandi.

    clearly building a diagonal is not required for a set of

    But automatically becomes possible, if the enumeration creates a >>>>>>>> full matrix of results, as a diagonal exists.

    even if u can enumerate the set of machines,

    like what i did with the set of _all_ machines

    Then the matrix of number doesn't reach the diagonal and the

    As I said, *IF* the enumeration actually creates a diagonal, as

    Of course you can't compute a diagonal that doesn't exist.

    It seems you are riding your Unicorn again of a enumeration of

    What inconsistency?

    can't compute diagonal across all executable machines => not

    Sure, because the diagonal doesn't need to exist, so that can be

    totally inconsistent rick, and idk how to make that more clear tbh >>>>>>
    Just like your K < K claim, since that diagonal computation

    i'm sorry are you having trouble understanding

    (a) why anti_sloppier_H will _never_ output a K within sloppier_H?

    even if (b) anti_sloppier_H _is_ a computable number?

    do u disagree with either (a) or (b)???

    cause if so, we should talk about that

    The problem is that since you have admitted that your enumaration
    that sloppier_H is incomplete, it is uninteresting.

    i think it's _very_ interesting that despite have a method to
    enumerate _all_ machines, which includes _all_ computable numbers,
    it's still not possible to put all the computable numbers within that
    set on a diagonal:

    Right, because you can't create the "diagonal" for all machines, as it

    you _can_ enumerate them...

    Yes, but that enumeration doesn't create a "diagonal".

    There isn't a kth digit output by the kth machine for all machines in
    that enumeration.

    Thus, your diagonal is just another of your Unicorns.


    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running all
    machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal.

    that's fine, the sloppier_H diagonal does not care...

    Sure it does, because otherwise it isn't a diagonal.


    but all the computable numbers _should_ reach the diagonal, because they _all_ produce an infinite sequence...

    Right, and that diagonal never include the results of the properly built anti_sloppier_H.

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H is exactly the same code as sloppier_H
    (including the number checked) except it outputs the reversed digit.

    Thus, if sloppier_H continues to run and produce output, so does anti_sloppier_H


    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation, given
    we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't happen

    Right, but it misses some, like anti_sloppier_H.

    And without all the numbers, it isn't COMPLETE, and thus uninteresting.



    It seems you have a fundamental problem about thinking through the
    requirements, as "requirements" are just optional ideas to you.



    clearly being able to enumerate a set of machines, does _not_ then
    imply one can certainly construct a diagonal across the computable
    numbers within that set

    Because the determination that a given machine create a computable
    number is an uncomputable operation.

    What is so hard about that?

    that determination is _still_ not involved with the sloppier_H
    computation that i proposed

    And it never reaches ALL the numbers, because it keeps on pushing off
    when to get to anti_sloppier_H.

    Since sloppier_H never puts a digit of anti_sloppier_H on the diagonal, anti_sloppier_H doesn't need to figure out what its diagonal digit is.





    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about.

    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K" isn't a
    VALUE output, but the id number of the row being output, and the
    digit on that row being outputed.

    Your just implied that every row makes it to the diagonal, as
    sloppier_H can generate the diagonal, which means that
    anti_sloppier_H can't be in that enumeration, and thus
    anti_sloppier_H can't get "stuck" on it trying to get there.

    For sloppier_H to work, the Kth row need to compute at least K
    digits, and thus any machine like turing's original H that looks to
    see what it does can't be on the diagonal.

    You fix the issue for sloppier_H with your reference to a special
    number, but anti_sloppier_H won't do that, so sloppier_H will never
    put it on the diagonal

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H uses the same "special self-reference"
    number as sloppier_H, NOT its own, and thus it WILL get the anti-
    diagonal that is the opposite of sloppier_H, and won't get hung up
    on itself, since neither did sloppier_H get hung up on anti_sloppier_H. >>>>
    Otherwise, you are just showing that you just refuse to follow
    instructions, possible because you are just mentally unable to do
    accurate work because "correct" isn't a word you understand.

    y do u think i disagree with any of that?

    So, you agree with the statement that you just refuse to follow
    instructions because you are mentally unable to do accurate work
    becuae "correct" isn't a word you understand?

    At least you know that you are that stupid, you just don't understand
    what that impies.

    lol, talk about bad faith discussion dick

    But you agreed to it, at least in implication.

    Or, are you just admitting you are just a liar.

    After all, you ARE proving you don't understand what a requirement is.







    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Its ok to not to be able to compute something that doesn't exist
    (like the diagonal of an enumeration that includes circular
    machines) so there isn't a diagonal to compute.

    That is like the inability to compute an even prime greater than 2 >>>>>> doesn't affect our ability to compute other primes.



    All you are doing is showing your ignorance and stupidity.\

    My guess is you are not going to actually answer with a real
    inconsistance, but just throw out a strawman, and that is your >>>>>>>> modus operandi.

    clearly building a diagonal is not required for a set of

    But automatically becomes possible, if the enumeration creates >>>>>>>>> a full matrix of results, as a diagonal exists.

    like what i did with the set of _all_ machines

    What inconsistency?

    can't compute diagonal across all executable machines => not
    proof against effective enumerability

    Sure, because the diagonal doesn't need to exist, so that can be >>>>>>> the reason you can't compute it.


    totally inconsistent rick, and idk how to make that more clear tbh >>>>>>>
    Just like your K < K claim, since that diagonal computation
    apparently reached the diagonal in one view to create it, but
    also can't reach it to compute it.

    i'm sorry are you having trouble understanding

    (a) why anti_sloppier_H will _never_ output a K within sloppier_H? >>>>>>
    even if (b) anti_sloppier_H _is_ a computable number?

    do u disagree with either (a) or (b)???

    cause if so, we should talk about that

    The problem is that since you have admitted that your enumaration
    that sloppier_H is incomplete, it is uninteresting.

    i think it's _very_ interesting that despite have a method to
    enumerate _all_ machines, which includes _all_ computable numbers,
    it's still not possible to put all the computable numbers within
    that set on a diagonal:

    Right, because you can't create the "diagonal" for all machines, as it

    you _can_ enumerate them...

    Yes, but that enumeration doesn't create a "diagonal".

    There isn't a kth digit output by the kth machine for all machines in
    that enumeration.

    which is fine, it skips machines that don't have output to put on the
    diagonal ...

    but computable numbers should all have outputs to put on the diagonal,
    yet we cannot compute that,

    this doesn't require specifically selection for them, they should have
    outputs regardless of whether we select for them, and that should be the outcome of simulating them

    therefore, regardless of whether we can enumerate a set of computable
    numbers or not, they cannot all be computably put on a diagonal

    if i were talking to someone capable of doing more than upholding a
    bandwagon this would be an interesting fact


    Thus, your diagonal is just another of your Unicorns.


    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running all
    machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal.

    that's fine, the sloppier_H diagonal does not care...

    Sure it does, because otherwise it isn't a diagonal.


    but all the computable numbers _should_ reach the diagonal, because
    they _all_ produce an infinite sequence...

    Right, and that diagonal never include the results of the properly built anti_sloppier_H.

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H is exactly the same code as sloppier_H
    (including the number checked) except it outputs the reversed digit.

    Thus, if sloppier_H continues to run and produce output, so does anti_sloppier_H


    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation, given
    we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't happen

    Right, but it misses some, like anti_sloppier_H.

    which means the fact some are missed is an independent facet of the enumeration


    And without all the numbers, it isn't COMPLETE, and thus uninteresting.

    not all machines even produce output, so ofc trying to compute a
    diagonal across all machines can include all machines ...

    but all computable numbers do have outputs for all K, so they should be includable in attempting to compute a diagonal across all machines




    It seems you have a fundamental problem about thinking through the
    requirements, as "requirements" are just optional ideas to you.



    clearly being able to enumerate a set of machines, does _not_ then
    imply one can certainly construct a diagonal across the computable
    numbers within that set

    Because the determination that a given machine create a computable
    number is an uncomputable operation.

    What is so hard about that?

    that determination is _still_ not involved with the sloppier_H
    computation that i proposed

    And it never reaches ALL the numbers, because it keeps on pushing off
    when to get to anti_sloppier_H.

    Since sloppier_H never puts a digit of anti_sloppier_H on the diagonal, anti_sloppier_H doesn't need to figure out what its diagonal digit is.





    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about.

    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K" isn't a
    VALUE output, but the id number of the row being output, and the
    digit on that row being outputed.

    Your just implied that every row makes it to the diagonal, as
    sloppier_H can generate the diagonal, which means that
    anti_sloppier_H can't be in that enumeration, and thus
    anti_sloppier_H can't get "stuck" on it trying to get there.

    For sloppier_H to work, the Kth row need to compute at least K
    digits, and thus any machine like turing's original H that looks to >>>>> see what it does can't be on the diagonal.

    You fix the issue for sloppier_H with your reference to a special
    number, but anti_sloppier_H won't do that, so sloppier_H will never >>>>> put it on the diagonal

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H uses the same "special self-reference"
    number as sloppier_H, NOT its own, and thus it WILL get the anti-
    diagonal that is the opposite of sloppier_H, and won't get hung up
    on itself, since neither did sloppier_H get hung up on
    anti_sloppier_H.

    Otherwise, you are just showing that you just refuse to follow
    instructions, possible because you are just mentally unable to do
    accurate work because "correct" isn't a word you understand.

    y do u think i disagree with any of that?

    So, you agree with the statement that you just refuse to follow
    instructions because you are mentally unable to do accurate work
    becuae "correct" isn't a word you understand?

    At least you know that you are that stupid, you just don't understand
    what that impies.

    lol, talk about bad faith discussion dick

    But you agreed to it, at least in implication.

    Or, are you just admitting you are just a liar.

    my god dick, what is with the endless childish word games 🥱🥱🥱


    After all, you ARE proving you don't understand what a requirement is.

    this is exploring the bounds of theory mate, not engineering a system








    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Its ok to not to be able to compute something that doesn't exist >>>>>>> (like the diagonal of an enumeration that includes circular
    machines) so there isn't a diagonal to compute.

    That is like the inability to compute an even prime greater than >>>>>>> 2 doesn't affect our ability to compute other primes.

    it's still not possible to put all the computable numbers within
    that set on a diagonal:

    Right, because you can't create the "diagonal" for all machines, as it >>>
    you _can_ enumerate them...

    Yes, but that enumeration doesn't create a "diagonal".

    There isn't a kth digit output by the kth machine for all machines in
    that enumeration.

    which is fine, it skips machines that don't have output to put on the diagonal ...

    But, it turns out, this means that its enumerations isn't complete


    but computable numbers should all have outputs to put on the diagonal,
    yet we cannot compute that,

    Yes, but apparently anti-sloppier-H isn't there.


    this doesn't require specifically selection for them, they should have outputs regardless of whether we select for them, and that should be the outcome of simulating them

    But unfortunately doesn't actually work, as it keeps pushing off anti-sloppier-H, which while actually computable, beomes to "slow" to
    reach the top of the list.


    therefore, regardless of whether we can enumerate a set of computable numbers or not, they cannot all be computably put on a diagonal

    But, you don't haven't enumerated the complete set of computable
    numbers, and a diagonal of it, as anti-sloppier-H outputs its Kth digits
    in a finite number of steps if sloppier-H outputs its Kth digit in a
    finite number of steps, so both are generating computable numbers or not together, but anti-sloppier-H isn't in your enumeration.


    if i were talking to someone capable of doing more than upholding a bandwagon this would be an interesting fact

    But not a fact, as it has a flaw in that you assume rules that apply to
    finite sets apply to infinite sets.



    Thus, your diagonal is just another of your Unicorns.


    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running all
    machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal.

    that's fine, the sloppier_H diagonal does not care...

    Sure it does, because otherwise it isn't a diagonal.


    but all the computable numbers _should_ reach the diagonal, because
    they _all_ produce an infinite sequence...

    Right, and that diagonal never include the results of the properly
    built anti_sloppier_H.

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H is exactly the same code as sloppier_H
    (including the number checked) except it outputs the reversed digit.

    Thus, if sloppier_H continues to run and produce output, so does
    anti_sloppier_H


    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation, given
    we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't happen

    Right, but it misses some, like anti_sloppier_H.

    which means the fact some are missed is an independent facet of the enumeration

    But, then the enumeration CAN'T BE COMPLETE.

    The problem is that the progress that sloppier-H makes gets slower and
    slower as the infinite number of circular machines get added to the set
    of machines being simulated to find the one that makes the next digit,
    and thus the number of steps that sloppier-H needs to perform grows, and
    that sum becomes a divergent sum that doesn't converge, and thus it
    never actually gets to anti-sloppier-H.



    And without all the numbers, it isn't COMPLETE, and thus uninteresting.

    not all machines even produce output, so ofc trying to compute a
    diagonal across all machines can include all machines ...

    Right, which is why we CAN compute an enumeration of all machines but
    not the diagonal generated by them.


    but all computable numbers do have outputs for all K, so they should be includable in attempting to compute a diagonal across all machines

    The problem is that you are NOT making an enumeration of ALL machines,
    but only machines that reach the diagonal when sorted by your criteria.

    Where we sort the machines this way, we create a super-set of the
    machines, and thus get to an uncountable infinity, so we can't enumerate it.

    Of course, uncountable infinities doen't follow the logic that you want
    to try to think with.

    While the sum of the number of steps needed to get to the Kth output of anti-sloppier-H is finite, when you multiply each element by the number
    of machines included by sloppier-H to compute that, the sum doesn't
    converge, thus your "enumeration" puts anti-sloppier-H at an uncountable
    value in the enumeration even though the machine itself is circle-free.





    It seems you have a fundamental problem about thinking through the
    requirements, as "requirements" are just optional ideas to you.



    clearly being able to enumerate a set of machines, does _not_ then
    imply one can certainly construct a diagonal across the computable
    numbers within that set

    Because the determination that a given machine create a computable
    number is an uncomputable operation.

    What is so hard about that?

    that determination is _still_ not involved with the sloppier_H
    computation that i proposed

    And it never reaches ALL the numbers, because it keeps on pushing off
    when to get to anti_sloppier_H.

    Since sloppier_H never puts a digit of anti_sloppier_H on the
    diagonal, anti_sloppier_H doesn't need to figure out what its diagonal
    digit is.





    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about.

    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K" isn't a >>>>>> VALUE output, but the id number of the row being output, and the
    digit on that row being outputed.

    Your just implied that every row makes it to the diagonal, as
    sloppier_H can generate the diagonal, which means that
    anti_sloppier_H can't be in that enumeration, and thus
    anti_sloppier_H can't get "stuck" on it trying to get there.

    For sloppier_H to work, the Kth row need to compute at least K
    digits, and thus any machine like turing's original H that looks
    to see what it does can't be on the diagonal.

    You fix the issue for sloppier_H with your reference to a special >>>>>> number, but anti_sloppier_H won't do that, so sloppier_H will
    never put it on the diagonal

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H uses the same "special self-reference"
    number as sloppier_H, NOT its own, and thus it WILL get the anti- >>>>>> diagonal that is the opposite of sloppier_H, and won't get hung up >>>>>> on itself, since neither did sloppier_H get hung up on
    anti_sloppier_H.

    Otherwise, you are just showing that you just refuse to follow
    instructions, possible because you are just mentally unable to do >>>>>> accurate work because "correct" isn't a word you understand.

    y do u think i disagree with any of that?

    So, you agree with the statement that you just refuse to follow
    instructions because you are mentally unable to do accurate work
    becuae "correct" isn't a word you understand?

    At least you know that you are that stupid, you just don't
    understand what that impies.

    lol, talk about bad faith discussion dick

    But you agreed to it, at least in implication.

    Or, are you just admitting you are just a liar.

    my god dick, what is with the endless childish word games 🥱🥱🥱

    It seems that is just all you can do, since you don't understand how to
    do actual logic, but just want to use fallacies.



    After all, you ARE proving you don't understand what a requirement is.

    this is exploring the bounds of theory mate, not engineering a system

    But, you forget that you need to actually PROVE what you claim.

    Try to prove that your enumeration is complete.

    Because machines that are eventually circular get into your mix, you can
    not show that you compute "fast" enough to get to any particuar machine,
    as there are an infinite number of machines that can get to their kth
    output before this one, (even if they eventually become circular and
    stop outputing).

    Ultimately, the problem is that the sorting that your "enumeration" is
    based on creates a super-set of the Natural Numbers, which is
    uncountable, so you can't get to all the elements of that set.









    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Its ok to not to be able to compute something that doesn't exist >>>>>>>> (like the diagonal of an enumeration that includes circular
    machines) so there isn't a diagonal to compute.

    That is like the inability to compute an even prime greater than >>>>>>>> 2 doesn't affect our ability to compute other primes.

    Of course you can't compute a diagonal that doesn't exist.

    Of course if there isn't a diagonal, because not every

    even if (b) anti_sloppier_H _is_ a computable number?

    do u disagree with either (a) or (b)???

    cause if so, we should talk about that

    The problem is that since you have admitted that your enumaration >>>>>>> that sloppier_H is incomplete, it is uninteresting.

    i think it's _very_ interesting that despite have a method to
    enumerate _all_ machines, which includes _all_ computable numbers, >>>>>> it's still not possible to put all the computable numbers within
    that set on a diagonal:

    Right, because you can't create the "diagonal" for all machines, as it >>>>
    you _can_ enumerate them...

    Yes, but that enumeration doesn't create a "diagonal".

    There isn't a kth digit output by the kth machine for all machines in
    that enumeration.

    which is fine, it skips machines that don't have output to put on the
    diagonal ...

    But, it turns out, this means that its enumerations isn't complete

    but it's produced entirely just by simulating what _is_ a complete
    enumeration of _all_ machines ...

    why didn't all the computable numbers, which have an output for _all_ K therefore allowing them to reach any diagonal of the output total number matrix make it onto the computed diagonal???



    but computable numbers should all have outputs to put on the diagonal,
    yet we cannot compute that,

    Yes, but apparently anti-sloppier-H isn't there.

    yes, paradoxically so ...



    this doesn't require specifically selection for them, they should have
    outputs regardless of whether we select for them, and that should be
    the outcome of simulating them

    But unfortunately doesn't actually work, as it keeps pushing off anti- sloppier-H, which while actually computable, beomes to "slow" to reach
    the top of the list.

    at least u understand the problem here



    therefore, regardless of whether we can enumerate a set of computable
    numbers or not, they cannot all be computably put on a diagonal

    But, you don't haven't enumerated the complete set of computable
    numbers, and a diagonal of it, as anti-sloppier-H outputs its Kth digits
    in a finite number of steps if sloppier-H outputs its Kth digit in a
    finite number of steps, so both are generating computable numbers or not together, but anti-sloppier-H isn't in your enumeration.

    the question is: are u able to admit this is a problem? or just
    continually accept the paradoxical as valid because ur already so used
    to promoting the current consensus as valid?



    if i were talking to someone capable of doing more than upholding a
    bandwagon this would be an interesting fact

    But not a fact, as it has a flaw in that you assume rules that apply to finite sets apply to infinite sets.

    the property i'm really banking on is their countability vs being
    uncountable




    Thus, your diagonal is just another of your Unicorns.


    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running all
    machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal.

    that's fine, the sloppier_H diagonal does not care...

    Sure it does, because otherwise it isn't a diagonal.


    but all the computable numbers _should_ reach the diagonal, because
    they _all_ produce an infinite sequence...

    Right, and that diagonal never include the results of the properly
    built anti_sloppier_H.

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H is exactly the same code as sloppier_H
    (including the number checked) except it outputs the reversed digit.

    Thus, if sloppier_H continues to run and produce output, so does
    anti_sloppier_H


    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation, given
    we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't happen

    Right, but it misses some, like anti_sloppier_H.

    which means the fact some are missed is an independent facet of the
    enumeration

    But, then the enumeration CAN'T BE COMPLETE.

    the enumeration is it produced from _IS COMPLETE_


    The problem is that the progress that sloppier-H makes gets slower and slower as the infinite number of circular machines get added to the set
    of machines being simulated to find the one that makes the next digit,
    and thus the number of steps that sloppier-H needs to perform grows, and that sum becomes a divergent sum that doesn't converge, and thus it
    never actually gets to anti-sloppier-H.

    i'm aware of the problem that given an enumeration which certainly
    includes _all_ computable sequences, we cannot seem to actually form a diagonal with that which includes _all_ computable sequences

    therefor even if given an enumeration which includes _only_ _all_
    computable numbers, we should not expect to be able to use that to
    produce a diagonal which includes _all_ computable sequences...

    no?




    And without all the numbers, it isn't COMPLETE, and thus uninteresting.

    not all machines even produce output, so ofc trying to compute a
    diagonal across all machines can include all machines ...

    Right, which is why we CAN compute an enumeration of all machines but
    not the diagonal generated by them.


    but all computable numbers do have outputs for all K, so they should
    be includable in attempting to compute a diagonal across all machines

    The problem is that you are NOT making an enumeration of ALL machines,
    but only machines that reach the diagonal when sorted by your criteria.

    Where we sort the machines this way, we create a super-set of the

    superset??? to create this we enumerated out and simulate _all_ machine,
    there is _no_ superset of that (which consists of only machines)...

    machines, and thus get to an uncountable infinity, so we can't enumerate

    BRO, what are you talking about???

    machine enumeration _ONLY_ form countable infinities, forming an
    uncountable infinity with machines is diagonalizing them which is a _contradiction_

    it.

    Of course, uncountable infinities doen't follow the logic that you want
    to try to think with.

    BRO, LOOK WHAT UR WRITING!

    you've gone off the fucking deep end claiming that machines, which are bijectable with natural nubmers, form _uncountable infinities_ ...
    that's a _contradiction_ dude!

    my god, this fucking group???

    what the fuck are you all smoking???

    why are others just letting u making wild-ass claims like that???

    ... the whole _point_ of §8 from /on computable numbers/ is that we
    _cannot_ be able to prove machines produce an uncountable infinity ...


    While the sum of the number of steps needed to get to the Kth output of anti-sloppier-H is finite, when you multiply each element by the number
    of machines included by sloppier-H to compute that, the sum doesn't converge, thus your "enumeration" puts anti-sloppier-H at an uncountable value in the enumeration even though the machine itself is circle-free.





    It seems you have a fundamental problem about thinking through the
    requirements, as "requirements" are just optional ideas to you.



    clearly being able to enumerate a set of machines, does _not_ then >>>>>> imply one can certainly construct a diagonal across the computable >>>>>> numbers within that set

    Because the determination that a given machine create a computable
    number is an uncomputable operation.

    What is so hard about that?

    that determination is _still_ not involved with the sloppier_H
    computation that i proposed

    And it never reaches ALL the numbers, because it keeps on pushing off
    when to get to anti_sloppier_H.

    Since sloppier_H never puts a digit of anti_sloppier_H on the
    diagonal, anti_sloppier_H doesn't need to figure out what its
    diagonal digit is.





    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about.

    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K" isn't >>>>>>> a VALUE output, but the id number of the row being output, and
    the digit on that row being outputed.

    Your just implied that every row makes it to the diagonal, as
    sloppier_H can generate the diagonal, which means that
    anti_sloppier_H can't be in that enumeration, and thus
    anti_sloppier_H can't get "stuck" on it trying to get there.

    For sloppier_H to work, the Kth row need to compute at least K
    digits, and thus any machine like turing's original H that looks >>>>>>> to see what it does can't be on the diagonal.

    You fix the issue for sloppier_H with your reference to a special >>>>>>> number, but anti_sloppier_H won't do that, so sloppier_H will
    never put it on the diagonal

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H uses the same "special self-reference" >>>>>>> number as sloppier_H, NOT its own, and thus it WILL get the anti- >>>>>>> diagonal that is the opposite of sloppier_H, and won't get hung >>>>>>> up on itself, since neither did sloppier_H get hung up on
    anti_sloppier_H.

    Otherwise, you are just showing that you just refuse to follow
    instructions, possible because you are just mentally unable to do >>>>>>> accurate work because "correct" isn't a word you understand.

    y do u think i disagree with any of that?

    So, you agree with the statement that you just refuse to follow
    instructions because you are mentally unable to do accurate work
    becuae "correct" isn't a word you understand?

    At least you know that you are that stupid, you just don't
    understand what that impies.

    lol, talk about bad faith discussion dick

    But you agreed to it, at least in implication.

    Or, are you just admitting you are just a liar.

    my god dick, what is with the endless childish word games 🥱🥱🥱

    It seems that is just all you can do, since you don't understand how to
    do actual logic, but just want to use fallacies.

    i'm sorry u fallacy wot now?




    After all, you ARE proving you don't understand what a requirement is.

    this is exploring the bounds of theory mate, not engineering a system

    But, you forget that you need to actually PROVE what you claim.

    Try to prove that your enumeration is complete.

    Because machines that are eventually circular get into your mix, you can
    not show that you compute "fast" enough to get to any particuar machine,
    as there are an infinite number of machines that can get to their kth
    output before this one, (even if they eventually become circular and
    stop outputing).

    Ultimately, the problem is that the sorting that your "enumeration" is
    based on creates a super-set of the Natural Numbers, which is
    uncountable, so you can't get to all the elements of that set.

    oh my god bro ... see you've gone down a fucking road bro. machines
    _cannot_ produce an uncountable infinity. avoiding that was _why_ turing pursued proving the H paradox in the first place!

    yet here you are trying to shut my down by casually claiming actually
    machines form uncountable infinities now???

    _that was what turing was trying to avoiding in the first place_ !!!










    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Its ok to not to be able to compute something that doesn't
    exist (like the diagonal of an enumeration that includes
    circular machines) so there isn't a diagonal to compute.

    That is like the inability to compute an even prime greater >>>>>>>>> than 2 doesn't affect our ability to compute other primes.

           }
         }
       }

    but i don't think this will change anything. it >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> will constantly run behind sloppier's K for >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> several reasons:


    1) anti_sloppier_H is simulating sloppier_H's >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> runtime with extra steps for each cycle K ... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> mean sloppier_H's K _must_ grow faster than >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anti_sloppier_H even when run directly in parallel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    No, it is supposed to be EXACTLY simulating the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> steps of sloppier_H.

    anti_sloppier_H takes more steps for each step of >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sloppier_H because it needs to check the output >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> of after each step of sloppier_H, to see if an >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> output was found, and then advance K if so. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    So?

    That doesn't affect the answer that sloppier_H >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gives to anti- sloppier_H


    this is done for every step of sloppier_H, so >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> therefore run head to head, anti_sloppier_H will >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> output slower than sloppier_H.


    So, that doesn't affect the value of K. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    in fact, anti_sloppier_H cannot output a digit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> for a particular K until /after/ sloppier_H >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> outputs a digit for that particular K... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    so there is no way for anti_sloppier_H to ever >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> output for some particular K until after >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sloppier_H has started looking for at least a K+1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> digit,

    So?

    even if (b) anti_sloppier_H _is_ a computable number?

    do u disagree with either (a) or (b)???

    cause if so, we should talk about that

    The problem is that since you have admitted that your
    enumaration that sloppier_H is incomplete, it is uninteresting. >>>>>>>
    i think it's _very_ interesting that despite have a method to
    enumerate _all_ machines, which includes _all_ computable
    numbers, it's still not possible to put all the computable
    numbers within that set on a diagonal:

    Right, because you can't create the "diagonal" for all machines,
    as it

    you _can_ enumerate them...

    Yes, but that enumeration doesn't create a "diagonal".

    There isn't a kth digit output by the kth machine for all machines
    in that enumeration.

    which is fine, it skips machines that don't have output to put on the
    diagonal ...

    But, it turns out, this means that its enumerations isn't complete

    but it's produced entirely just by simulating what _is_ a complete enumeration of _all_ machines ...

    Rigth, but it simulates some circular machines, and thus wastes too much
    time to finish its task of simulating the non-circular machines far
    enough to get the diagonal.


    why didn't all the computable numbers, which have an output for _all_ K therefore allowing them to reach any diagonal of the output total number matrix make it onto the computed diagonal???

    As I said, because it spent too much time simulating circular maxhines,
    which puts off the completion of the enumeration past the limits of finiteness.

    It dies getting stuck in its strawmen,




    but computable numbers should all have outputs to put on the
    diagonal, yet we cannot compute that,

    Yes, but apparently anti-sloppier-H isn't there.

    yes, paradoxically so ...

    So you AGREE that it is mising.

    Since anti-sloppier-H and sloppier-H are circularity equivalent, that
    means either sloppier-H misses a computational number, or it is circular
    and doesn't actually compute the full diagonal.




    this doesn't require specifically selection for them, they should
    have outputs regardless of whether we select for them, and that
    should be the outcome of simulating them

    But unfortunately doesn't actually work, as it keeps pushing off anti-
    sloppier-H, which while actually computable, beomes to "slow" to reach
    the top of the list.

    at least u understand the problem here

    Yes, I do.

    But apparently you don't, because you don't actually understand the requirements.




    therefore, regardless of whether we can enumerate a set of computable
    numbers or not, they cannot all be computably put on a diagonal

    But, you don't haven't enumerated the complete set of computable
    numbers, and a diagonal of it, as anti-sloppier-H outputs its Kth
    digits in a finite number of steps if sloppier-H outputs its Kth digit
    in a finite number of steps, so both are generating computable numbers
    or not together, but anti-sloppier-H isn't in your enumeration.

    the question is: are u able to admit this is a problem? or just
    continually accept the paradoxical as valid because ur already so used
    to promoting the current consensus as valid?

    It is a RESOLVED problem, because your enumeration just isn't complete.

    IT is YOU that can't see the actual problem, because you are just
    ignorant of the basics of the theory you are trying to talk about.

    Your problem is you just assume you understand what you machine does,
    because you apparently don't understand how to handle things that can be infinite, because you like to assume they just do what you want.






    if i were talking to someone capable of doing more than upholding a
    bandwagon this would be an interesting fact

    But not a fact, as it has a flaw in that you assume rules that apply
    to finite sets apply to infinite sets.

    the property i'm really banking on is their countability vs being uncountable

    But since you get into the power-set (but letting your machine resort
    them by length of running time) you get into the uncountable.

    Again, your problem is you don't understand about infinity.

    Sloppier_H computes enough from the circular machines to need an
    uncountable number of steps to complete, and thus the diagonal as
    described isn't a computable number, only the diagonal of the PARTIAL enumeration of the machine that it gets to the output of is.





    Thus, your diagonal is just another of your Unicorns.


    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running all
    machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal.

    that's fine, the sloppier_H diagonal does not care...

    Sure it does, because otherwise it isn't a diagonal.


    but all the computable numbers _should_ reach the diagonal, because >>>>> they _all_ produce an infinite sequence...

    Right, and that diagonal never include the results of the properly
    built anti_sloppier_H.

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H is exactly the same code as sloppier_H
    (including the number checked) except it outputs the reversed digit.

    Thus, if sloppier_H continues to run and produce output, so does
    anti_sloppier_H


    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation,
    given we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't happen >>>>
    Right, but it misses some, like anti_sloppier_H.

    which means the fact some are missed is an independent facet of the
    enumeration

    But, then the enumeration CAN'T BE COMPLETE.

    the enumeration is it produced from _IS COMPLETE_

    No it isn't.

    The enumeratio of MACHINES that it starts from is complete.

    The enumeration that the diagonal is defined to be computed of is not,
    as you claim it need to get to a machine for every computable number.



    The problem is that the progress that sloppier-H makes gets slower and
    slower as the infinite number of circular machines get added to the
    set of machines being simulated to find the one that makes the next
    digit, and thus the number of steps that sloppier-H needs to perform
    grows, and that sum becomes a divergent sum that doesn't converge, and
    thus it never actually gets to anti-sloppier-H.

    i'm aware of the problem that given an enumeration which certainly
    includes _all_ computable sequences, we cannot seem to actually form a diagonal with that which includes _all_ computable sequences

    We can PRODUCE such a diagonal, but not computationally.


    therefor even if given an enumeration which includes _only_ _all_
    computable numbers, we should not expect to be able to use that to
    produce a diagonal which includes _all_ computable sequences...

    What are you considering the difference between a "Computable Number"
    and a "Computable Sequence"?

    Note, we can PRODUCE an enumeration of all computable numbers, under the
    axiom of choice, but we can not GIVE that to a machine, as that
    enumeration isn't finite or computable,


    no?




    And without all the numbers, it isn't COMPLETE, and thus uninteresting. >>>
    not all machines even produce output, so ofc trying to compute a
    diagonal across all machines can include all machines ...

    Right, which is why we CAN compute an enumeration of all machines but
    not the diagonal generated by them.


    but all computable numbers do have outputs for all K, so they should
    be includable in attempting to compute a diagonal across all machines

    The problem is that you are NOT making an enumeration of ALL machines,
    but only machines that reach the diagonal when sorted by your criteria.

    Where we sort the machines this way, we create a super-set of the

    superset??? to create this we enumerated out and simulate _all_ machine, there is _no_ superset of that (which consists of only machines)...

    Sure there is, as you keep on changing the ORDER of the machines as you investigate.


    machines, and thus get to an uncountable infinity, so we can't enumerate

    BRO, what are you talking about???

    You don't understand an uncountable infinity?


    machine enumeration _ONLY_ form countable infinities, forming an
    uncountable infinity with machines is diagonalizing them which is a _contradiction_

    Right, WHEN YOU ENUMERATE THEM, and don't suffle them.

    Your code keeps on updating the "set of machines" it is looking at,
    which gets enough different sets to reach something of the same
    cardinaltiy of the power set.


    it.

    Of course, uncountable infinities doen't follow the logic that you
    want to try to think with.

    BRO, LOOK WHAT UR WRITING!

    you've gone off the fucking deep end claiming that machines, which are bijectable with natural nubmers, form _uncountable infinities_ ...
    that's a _contradiction_ dude!

    Right, the MACHINES are bijectable, but you don't just simply process them.

    After all, the set of the mappings of the Natural Numbers to 0 or 1 is
    an uncountable set.



    my god, this fucking group???

    what the fuck are you all smoking???

    IT seems YOU are the one smoking something, as you refuse to understand
    the problems you are trying to just ignore.


    why are others just letting u making wild-ass claims like that???

    ... the whole _point_ of §8 from /on computable numbers/ is that we _cannot_ be able to prove machines produce an uncountable infinity ...

    Where do you get that from?

    The point is that we can not in finite steps decide if a given machine
    is circular or not,

    And we can not produce a machine that computationally enumerates the compuational numbers or the non-circular machines.

    Where do you see him talking about anything about "countability".



    While the sum of the number of steps needed to get to the Kth output
    of anti-sloppier-H is finite, when you multiply each element by the
    number of machines included by sloppier-H to compute that, the sum
    doesn't converge, thus your "enumeration" puts anti-sloppier-H at an
    uncountable value in the enumeration even though the machine itself is
    circle-free.





    It seems you have a fundamental problem about thinking through the >>>>>> requirements, as "requirements" are just optional ideas to you.



    clearly being able to enumerate a set of machines, does _not_
    then imply one can certainly construct a diagonal across the
    computable numbers within that set

    Because the determination that a given machine create a computable >>>>>> number is an uncomputable operation.

    What is so hard about that?

    that determination is _still_ not involved with the sloppier_H
    computation that i proposed

    And it never reaches ALL the numbers, because it keeps on pushing
    off when to get to anti_sloppier_H.

    Since sloppier_H never puts a digit of anti_sloppier_H on the
    diagonal, anti_sloppier_H doesn't need to figure out what its
    diagonal digit is.





    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about.

    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K" isn't >>>>>>>> a VALUE output, but the id number of the row being output, and >>>>>>>> the digit on that row being outputed.

    Your just implied that every row makes it to the diagonal, as >>>>>>>> sloppier_H can generate the diagonal, which means that
    anti_sloppier_H can't be in that enumeration, and thus
    anti_sloppier_H can't get "stuck" on it trying to get there.

    For sloppier_H to work, the Kth row need to compute at least K >>>>>>>> digits, and thus any machine like turing's original H that looks >>>>>>>> to see what it does can't be on the diagonal.

    You fix the issue for sloppier_H with your reference to a
    special number, but anti_sloppier_H won't do that, so sloppier_H >>>>>>>> will never put it on the diagonal

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H uses the same "special self-reference" >>>>>>>> number as sloppier_H, NOT its own, and thus it WILL get the
    anti- diagonal that is the opposite of sloppier_H, and won't get >>>>>>>> hung up on itself, since neither did sloppier_H get hung up on >>>>>>>> anti_sloppier_H.

    Otherwise, you are just showing that you just refuse to follow >>>>>>>> instructions, possible because you are just mentally unable to >>>>>>>> do accurate work because "correct" isn't a word you understand. >>>>>>>
    y do u think i disagree with any of that?

    So, you agree with the statement that you just refuse to follow
    instructions because you are mentally unable to do accurate work
    becuae "correct" isn't a word you understand?

    At least you know that you are that stupid, you just don't
    understand what that impies.

    lol, talk about bad faith discussion dick

    But you agreed to it, at least in implication.

    Or, are you just admitting you are just a liar.

    my god dick, what is with the endless childish word games 🥱🥱🥱

    It seems that is just all you can do, since you don't understand how
    to do actual logic, but just want to use fallacies.

    i'm sorry u fallacy wot now?

    Your logic is just based on fallacies.

    Things like assuming the conclusion, or ignoring the facts.





    After all, you ARE proving you don't understand what a requirement is.

    this is exploring the bounds of theory mate, not engineering a system

    But, you forget that you need to actually PROVE what you claim.

    Try to prove that your enumeration is complete.

    Because machines that are eventually circular get into your mix, you
    can not show that you compute "fast" enough to get to any particuar
    machine, as there are an infinite number of machines that can get to
    their kth output before this one, (even if they eventually become
    circular and stop outputing).

    Ultimately, the problem is that the sorting that your "enumeration" is
    based on creates a super-set of the Natural Numbers, which is
    uncountable, so you can't get to all the elements of that set.

    oh my god bro ... see you've gone down a fucking road bro. machines
    _cannot_ produce an uncountable infinity. avoiding that was _why_ turing pursued proving the H paradox in the first place!

    Right, they can not actually produce it, but if the algorith would
    generate it they just will not finish.


    yet here you are trying to shut my down by casually claiming actually machines form uncountable infinities now???

    SETS of machines can.

    I guess your ignorance is approaching infinity.


    _that was what turing was trying to avoiding in the first place_ !!!

    No, he was pointing out that we can not get a result that depends on an uncountable infinity.

    I can easily write a program that "when it completes" would have
    produced and uncountable infinite set, it just can't ever get that far.

    The fact you don't understand this is part of your problem.











    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Just like your K < K claim, since that diagonal computation >>>>>>>>>>> apparently reached the diagonal in one view to create it, but >>>>>>>>>>> also can't reach it to compute it.

    i'm sorry are you having trouble understanding

    (a) why anti_sloppier_H will _never_ output a K within
    sloppier_H?

    even if (b) anti_sloppier_H _is_ a computable number?

    do u disagree with either (a) or (b)???

    cause if so, we should talk about that

    The problem is that since you have admitted that your
    enumaration that sloppier_H is incomplete, it is uninteresting. >>>>>>>>
    i think it's _very_ interesting that despite have a method to >>>>>>>> enumerate _all_ machines, which includes _all_ computable
    numbers, it's still not possible to put all the computable
    numbers within that set on a diagonal:

    Right, because you can't create the "diagonal" for all machines, >>>>>>> as it

    you _can_ enumerate them...

    Yes, but that enumeration doesn't create a "diagonal".

    There isn't a kth digit output by the kth machine for all machines
    in that enumeration.

    which is fine, it skips machines that don't have output to put on
    the diagonal ...

    But, it turns out, this means that its enumerations isn't complete

    but it's produced entirely just by simulating what _is_ a complete
    enumeration of _all_ machines ...

    Rigth, but it simulates some circular machines, and thus wastes too much time to finish its task of simulating the non-circular machines far
    enough to get the diagonal.


    why didn't all the computable numbers, which have an output for _all_
    K therefore allowing them to reach any diagonal of the output total
    number matrix make it onto the computed diagonal???

    As I said, because it spent too much time simulating circular maxhines,

    that is _not_ what is happening here,

    even if we ( _hypothetically_ ) started with a full enumeration of
    _just_ computable numbers, so no time was "wasted", it still wouldn't be
    able to produce the diagonal via dovetailing ...

    the _same_ problem would exist

    (note that _particular_ problem wouldn't exist with RTMs)


    which puts off the completion of the enumeration past the limits of finiteness.

    It dies getting stuck in its strawmen,




    but computable numbers should all have outputs to put on the
    diagonal, yet we cannot compute that,

    Yes, but apparently anti-sloppier-H isn't there.

    yes, paradoxically so ...

    So you AGREE that it is mising.

    Since anti-sloppier-H and sloppier-H are circularity equivalent, that
    means either sloppier-H misses a computational number, or it is circular
    and doesn't actually compute the full diagonal.




    this doesn't require specifically selection for them, they should
    have outputs regardless of whether we select for them, and that
    should be the outcome of simulating them

    But unfortunately doesn't actually work, as it keeps pushing off
    anti- sloppier-H, which while actually computable, beomes to "slow"
    to reach the top of the list.

    at least u understand the problem here

    Yes, I do.

    But apparently you don't, because you don't actually understand the requirements.




    therefore, regardless of whether we can enumerate a set of
    computable numbers or not, they cannot all be computably put on a
    diagonal

    But, you don't haven't enumerated the complete set of computable
    numbers, and a diagonal of it, as anti-sloppier-H outputs its Kth
    digits in a finite number of steps if sloppier-H outputs its Kth
    digit in a finite number of steps, so both are generating computable
    numbers or not together, but anti-sloppier-H isn't in your enumeration.

    the question is: are u able to admit this is a problem? or just
    continually accept the paradoxical as valid because ur already so used
    to promoting the current consensus as valid?

    It is a RESOLVED problem, because your enumeration just isn't complete.

    IT is YOU that can't see the actual problem, because you are just
    ignorant of the basics of the theory you are trying to talk about.

    Your problem is you just assume you understand what you machine does, because you apparently don't understand how to handle things that can be infinite, because you like to assume they just do what you want.

    the answer is: not yet apparently







    if i were talking to someone capable of doing more than upholding a
    bandwagon this would be an interesting fact

    But not a fact, as it has a flaw in that you assume rules that apply
    to finite sets apply to infinite sets.

    the property i'm really banking on is their countability vs being
    uncountable

    But since you get into the power-set (but letting your machine resort
    them by length of running time) you get into the uncountable.

    Again, your problem is you don't understand about infinity.

    Sloppier_H computes enough from the circular machines to need an
    uncountable number of steps to complete, and thus the diagonal as

    *infinite not uncountable... the steps of any actual computation are necessarily countable,

    and circular machine do not impede dovetailing algo, that is a bizarre response and and just forgetful of the fact circular machines also do
    not impede using dovetailing to enumerate out halting machines

    described isn't a computable number, only the diagonal of the PARTIAL enumeration of the machine that it gets to the output of is.





    Thus, your diagonal is just another of your Unicorns.


    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running all >>>>>>> machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal.

    that's fine, the sloppier_H diagonal does not care...

    Sure it does, because otherwise it isn't a diagonal.


    but all the computable numbers _should_ reach the diagonal,
    because they _all_ produce an infinite sequence...

    Right, and that diagonal never include the results of the properly
    built anti_sloppier_H.

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H is exactly the same code as sloppier_H
    (including the number checked) except it outputs the reversed digit. >>>>>
    Thus, if sloppier_H continues to run and produce output, so does
    anti_sloppier_H


    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation,
    given we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't happen >>>>>
    Right, but it misses some, like anti_sloppier_H.

    which means the fact some are missed is an independent facet of the
    enumeration

    But, then the enumeration CAN'T BE COMPLETE.

    the enumeration is it produced from _IS COMPLETE_

    No it isn't.

    The enumeratio of MACHINES that it starts from is complete.

    yes it starts with a full enumeration of all machines, including all computable numbers, and is still unable to produce a diagonal that
    includes all computable numbers despite them all having enough digits to
    be on the diagonal


    The enumeration that the diagonal is defined to be computed of is not,
    as you claim it need to get to a machine for every computable number.



    The problem is that the progress that sloppier-H makes gets slower
    and slower as the infinite number of circular machines get added to
    the set of machines being simulated to find the one that makes the
    next digit, and thus the number of steps that sloppier-H needs to
    perform grows, and that sum becomes a divergent sum that doesn't
    converge, and thus it never actually gets to anti-sloppier-H.

    i'm aware of the problem that given an enumeration which certainly
    includes _all_ computable sequences, we cannot seem to actually form a
    diagonal with that which includes _all_ computable sequences

    We can PRODUCE such a diagonal, but not computationally.

    if u can't write me down the diagonal, i can't agree u "PRODUCED" it



    therefor even if given an enumeration which includes _only_ _all_
    computable numbers, we should not expect to be able to use that to
    produce a diagonal which includes _all_ computable sequences...

    What are you considering the difference between a "Computable Number"
    and a "Computable Sequence"?

    | A sequence is said to be computable if it can be computed
    | by a circle-free machine. A number is computable if it
    | differs by an integer from the number computed by a
    | circle-free machine


    Note, we can PRODUCE an enumeration of all computable numbers, under the

    u can "DEFINE" it i guess, i can't agree u can actually PRODUCE it as
    show me a production of it ... as u can't actually write it down without
    a method to compute it

    i'm pretty whatever about the axiom of choice

    axiom of choice, but we can not GIVE that to a machine, as that
    enumeration isn't finite or computable,


    no?




    And without all the numbers, it isn't COMPLETE, and thus
    uninteresting.

    not all machines even produce output, so ofc trying to compute a
    diagonal across all machines can include all machines ...

    Right, which is why we CAN compute an enumeration of all machines but
    not the diagonal generated by them.


    but all computable numbers do have outputs for all K, so they should
    be includable in attempting to compute a diagonal across all machines

    The problem is that you are NOT making an enumeration of ALL
    machines, but only machines that reach the diagonal when sorted by
    your criteria.

    Where we sort the machines this way, we create a super-set of the

    superset??? to create this we enumerated out and simulate _all_
    machine, there is _no_ superset of that (which consists of only
    machines)...

    Sure there is, as you keep on changing the ORDER of the machines as you investigate.


    machines, and thus get to an uncountable infinity, so we can't enumerate

    BRO, what are you talking about???

    You don't understand an uncountable infinity?

    honestly bro u just fucking backing urself into a corner by completely misapplying basic number theory



    machine enumeration _ONLY_ form countable infinities, forming an
    uncountable infinity with machines is diagonalizing them which is a
    _contradiction_

    Right, WHEN YOU ENUMERATE THEM, and don't suffle them.

    Your code keeps on updating the "set of machines" it is looking at,

    each set of machines it looks at, for any given cycle, is _finite_, as
    each cycle of the dovetailing algo is and must be _finite_ ...

    you cannot create an uncountable set of sets using only finite length
    sets of finite objects (like machines/natural number), richard

    this is basic number theory

    and _no_ just because each machine may produce an infinite set of output
    does not turing this into an uncountable situation... like any given computable sequence, the entire output set is equatable with the /finite length/ machine that produced it, so therefor sets of output sets will
    not produce countability issues anymore than sets of the machines which produce them will

    which gets enough different sets to reach something of the same
    cardinaltiy of the power set.


    it.

    Of course, uncountable infinities doen't follow the logic that you
    want to try to think with.

    BRO, LOOK WHAT UR WRITING!

    you've gone off the fucking deep end claiming that machines, which are
    bijectable with natural nubmers, form _uncountable infinities_ ...
    that's a _contradiction_ dude!

    Right, the MACHINES are bijectable, but you don't just simply process them.

    After all, the set of the mappings of the Natural Numbers to 0 or 1 is
    an uncountable set.

    the set of *all* mappings sure, but not necessarily all subsets of that, obviously...

    the set of all computable mappings obviously isn't uncountable




    my god, this fucking group???

    what the fuck are you all smoking???

    IT seems YOU are the one smoking something, as you refuse to understand
    the problems you are trying to just ignore.


    why are others just letting u making wild-ass claims like that???

    ... the whole _point_ of §8 from /on computable numbers/ is that we
    _cannot_ be able to prove machines produce an uncountable infinity ...

    Where do you get that from?

    The point is that we can not in finite steps decide if a given machine
    is circular or not,

    And we can not produce a machine that computationally enumerates the compuational numbers or the non-circular machines.

    Where do you see him talking about anything about "countability".

    literally the first sentence of §8:

    | It may be thought that arguments which prove that the
    | real numbers are not enumerable would also prove that
    | the computable numbers and sequences cannot be enumerable

    the whole point of the H paradox was to prevent a diagonalization proof
    on computable numbers that would show them to be not enumerable, more
    commonly now known as uncountable ...

    so you casually throwing uncountability in regards to computing a
    _single set_ of machines is just mindbogglingly detached from even
    turing's proof, which is crazy because ur trying to defend his proof bro,

    _and fucking nonsense like this is exactly why i'm pursuing this research_

    the fucking tards that have been handling this thus far are incredibly
    lacking in their critical thinking and coherency faculties, and have now
    ended up attacking me with the very same ideas turing was trying to keep
    from being applied to computable numbers, _IN THE FIRST PLACE_




    While the sum of the number of steps needed to get to the Kth output
    of anti-sloppier-H is finite, when you multiply each element by the
    number of machines included by sloppier-H to compute that, the sum
    doesn't converge, thus your "enumeration" puts anti-sloppier-H at an
    uncountable value in the enumeration even though the machine itself
    is circle-free.





    It seems you have a fundamental problem about thinking through
    the requirements, as "requirements" are just optional ideas to you. >>>>>>>


    clearly being able to enumerate a set of machines, does _not_ >>>>>>>> then imply one can certainly construct a diagonal across the
    computable numbers within that set

    Because the determination that a given machine create a
    computable number is an uncomputable operation.

    What is so hard about that?

    that determination is _still_ not involved with the sloppier_H
    computation that i proposed

    And it never reaches ALL the numbers, because it keeps on pushing
    off when to get to anti_sloppier_H.

    Since sloppier_H never puts a digit of anti_sloppier_H on the
    diagonal, anti_sloppier_H doesn't need to figure out what its
    diagonal digit is.





    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about. >>>>>>>>>
    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K"
    isn't a VALUE output, but the id number of the row being
    output, and the digit on that row being outputed.

    Your just implied that every row makes it to the diagonal, as >>>>>>>>> sloppier_H can generate the diagonal, which means that
    anti_sloppier_H can't be in that enumeration, and thus
    anti_sloppier_H can't get "stuck" on it trying to get there. >>>>>>>>>
    For sloppier_H to work, the Kth row need to compute at least K >>>>>>>>> digits, and thus any machine like turing's original H that
    looks to see what it does can't be on the diagonal.

    You fix the issue for sloppier_H with your reference to a
    special number, but anti_sloppier_H won't do that, so
    sloppier_H will never put it on the diagonal

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H uses the same "special self-
    reference" number as sloppier_H, NOT its own, and thus it WILL >>>>>>>>> get the anti- diagonal that is the opposite of sloppier_H, and >>>>>>>>> won't get hung up on itself, since neither did sloppier_H get >>>>>>>>> hung up on anti_sloppier_H.

    Otherwise, you are just showing that you just refuse to follow >>>>>>>>> instructions, possible because you are just mentally unable to >>>>>>>>> do accurate work because "correct" isn't a word you understand. >>>>>>>>
    y do u think i disagree with any of that?

    So, you agree with the statement that you just refuse to follow >>>>>>> instructions because you are mentally unable to do accurate work >>>>>>> becuae "correct" isn't a word you understand?

    At least you know that you are that stupid, you just don't
    understand what that impies.

    lol, talk about bad faith discussion dick

    But you agreed to it, at least in implication.

    Or, are you just admitting you are just a liar.

    my god dick, what is with the endless childish word games 🥱🥱🥱

    It seems that is just all you can do, since you don't understand how
    to do actual logic, but just want to use fallacies.

    i'm sorry u fallacy wot now?

    Your logic is just based on fallacies.

    Things like assuming the conclusion, or ignoring the facts.





    After all, you ARE proving you don't understand what a requirement is. >>>>
    this is exploring the bounds of theory mate, not engineering a system

    But, you forget that you need to actually PROVE what you claim.

    Try to prove that your enumeration is complete.

    Because machines that are eventually circular get into your mix, you
    can not show that you compute "fast" enough to get to any particuar
    machine, as there are an infinite number of machines that can get to
    their kth output before this one, (even if they eventually become
    circular and stop outputing).

    Ultimately, the problem is that the sorting that your "enumeration"
    is based on creates a super-set of the Natural Numbers, which is
    uncountable, so you can't get to all the elements of that set.

    oh my god bro ... see you've gone down a fucking road bro. machines
    _cannot_ produce an uncountable infinity. avoiding that was _why_
    turing pursued proving the H paradox in the first place!

    Right, they can not actually produce it, but if the algorith would
    generate it they just will not finish.


    yet here you are trying to shut my down by casually claiming actually
    machines form uncountable infinities now???

    SETS of machines can.

    no, an infinite set of infinite sets of machines can be uncountable,

    but just an infinite set of machines cannot be uncountable, richard

    the set of computable numbers is _not_ uncountable

    nothing here is trying to compute an uncountable set

    u bringing up uncountablity is just u ramming in a pathetic excuse for
    us failing to study this further for almost a century now...


    I guess your ignorance is approaching infinity.


    _that was what turing was trying to avoiding in the first place_ !!!

    No, he was pointing out that we can not get a result that depends on an uncountable infinity.

    I can easily write a program that "when it completes" would have
    produced and uncountable infinite set, it just can't ever get that far.

    The fact you don't understand this is part of your problem.











    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life.

    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    i'm sorry are you having trouble understanding

    (a) why anti_sloppier_H will _never_ output a K within
    sloppier_H?

    even if (b) anti_sloppier_H _is_ a computable number?

    do u disagree with either (a) or (b)???

    cause if so, we should talk about that

    The problem is that since you have admitted that your
    enumaration that sloppier_H is incomplete, it is uninteresting. >>>>>>>>>
    i think it's _very_ interesting that despite have a method to >>>>>>>>> enumerate _all_ machines, which includes _all_ computable
    numbers, it's still not possible to put all the computable
    numbers within that set on a diagonal:

    Right, because you can't create the "diagonal" for all machines, >>>>>>>> as it

    you _can_ enumerate them...

    Yes, but that enumeration doesn't create a "diagonal".

    There isn't a kth digit output by the kth machine for all machines >>>>>> in that enumeration.

    which is fine, it skips machines that don't have output to put on
    the diagonal ...

    But, it turns out, this means that its enumerations isn't complete

    but it's produced entirely just by simulating what _is_ a complete
    enumeration of _all_ machines ...

    Rigth, but it simulates some circular machines, and thus wastes too
    much time to finish its task of simulating the non-circular machines
    far enough to get the diagonal.


    why didn't all the computable numbers, which have an output for _all_
    K therefore allowing them to reach any diagonal of the output total
    number matrix make it onto the computed diagonal???

    As I said, because it spent too much time simulating circular maxhines,

    that is _not_ what is happening here,

    even if we ( _hypothetically_ ) started with a full enumeration of
    _just_ computable numbers, so no time was "wasted", it still wouldn't be able to produce the diagonal via dovetailing ...

    the _same_ problem would exist

    (note that _particular_ problem wouldn't exist with RTMs)


    which puts off the completion of the enumeration past the limits of
    finiteness.

    It dies getting stuck in its strawmen,




    but computable numbers should all have outputs to put on the
    diagonal, yet we cannot compute that,

    Yes, but apparently anti-sloppier-H isn't there.

    yes, paradoxically so ...

    So you AGREE that it is mising.

    Since anti-sloppier-H and sloppier-H are circularity equivalent, that
    means either sloppier-H misses a computational number, or it is
    circular and doesn't actually compute the full diagonal.




    this doesn't require specifically selection for them, they should
    have outputs regardless of whether we select for them, and that
    should be the outcome of simulating them

    But unfortunately doesn't actually work, as it keeps pushing off
    anti- sloppier-H, which while actually computable, beomes to "slow"
    to reach the top of the list.

    at least u understand the problem here

    Yes, I do.

    But apparently you don't, because you don't actually understand the
    requirements.




    therefore, regardless of whether we can enumerate a set of
    computable numbers or not, they cannot all be computably put on a
    diagonal

    But, you don't haven't enumerated the complete set of computable
    numbers, and a diagonal of it, as anti-sloppier-H outputs its Kth
    digits in a finite number of steps if sloppier-H outputs its Kth
    digit in a finite number of steps, so both are generating computable
    numbers or not together, but anti-sloppier-H isn't in your enumeration. >>>
    the question is: are u able to admit this is a problem? or just
    continually accept the paradoxical as valid because ur already so
    used to promoting the current consensus as valid?

    It is a RESOLVED problem, because your enumeration just isn't complete.

    IT is YOU that can't see the actual problem, because you are just
    ignorant of the basics of the theory you are trying to talk about.

    Your problem is you just assume you understand what you machine does,
    because you apparently don't understand how to handle things that can
    be infinite, because you like to assume they just do what you want.

    the answer is: not yet apparently







    if i were talking to someone capable of doing more than upholding a >>>>> bandwagon this would be an interesting fact

    But not a fact, as it has a flaw in that you assume rules that apply
    to finite sets apply to infinite sets.

    the property i'm really banking on is their countability vs being
    uncountable

    But since you get into the power-set (but letting your machine resort
    them by length of running time) you get into the uncountable.

    Again, your problem is you don't understand about infinity.

    Sloppier_H computes enough from the circular machines to need an
    uncountable number of steps to complete, and thus the diagonal as

    *infinite not uncountable... the steps of any actual computation are necessarily countable,

    and circular machine do not impede dovetailing algo, that is a bizarre response and and just forgetful of the fact circular machines also do
    not impede using dovetailing to enumerate out halting machines

    admittedly halting machines cannot entirely express this paradox because halting machines cannot compute across an infinite set of machines, and
    this paradox requires that facet in order to contradict _all_ possible machines...

    non-halting machines can, and basically the consensus just gave up at
    the recognition of this... problem 🤷🤷🤷

    my opinion is that ur failure rick to really understand the true
    relationship of countability to machines *and therefore their output
    sets* is highly related to the incomplete view of undecidability u also
    hold. i see that decidability problems, especially in regards to the
    behaviors of machine, can be limited and/or constrained /by the inherent limited countable nature of machines/ and /therefore their output sets
    as well/


    described isn't a computable number, only the diagonal of the PARTIAL
    enumeration of the machine that it gets to the output of is.





    Thus, your diagonal is just another of your Unicorns.


    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running all >>>>>>>> machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal.

    that's fine, the sloppier_H diagonal does not care...

    Sure it does, because otherwise it isn't a diagonal.


    but all the computable numbers _should_ reach the diagonal,
    because they _all_ produce an infinite sequence...

    Right, and that diagonal never include the results of the properly >>>>>> built anti_sloppier_H.

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H is exactly the same code as sloppier_H
    (including the number checked) except it outputs the reversed digit. >>>>>>
    Thus, if sloppier_H continues to run and produce output, so does
    anti_sloppier_H


    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation,
    given we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't
    happen

    Right, but it misses some, like anti_sloppier_H.

    which means the fact some are missed is an independent facet of the >>>>> enumeration

    But, then the enumeration CAN'T BE COMPLETE.

    the enumeration is it produced from _IS COMPLETE_

    No it isn't.

    The enumeratio of MACHINES that it starts from is complete.

    yes it starts with a full enumeration of all machines, including all computable numbers, and is still unable to produce a diagonal that
    includes all computable numbers despite them all having enough digits to
    be on the diagonal


    The enumeration that the diagonal is defined to be computed of is not,
    as you claim it need to get to a machine for every computable number.



    The problem is that the progress that sloppier-H makes gets slower
    and slower as the infinite number of circular machines get added to
    the set of machines being simulated to find the one that makes the
    next digit, and thus the number of steps that sloppier-H needs to
    perform grows, and that sum becomes a divergent sum that doesn't
    converge, and thus it never actually gets to anti-sloppier-H.

    i'm aware of the problem that given an enumeration which certainly
    includes _all_ computable sequences, we cannot seem to actually form
    a diagonal with that which includes _all_ computable sequences

    We can PRODUCE such a diagonal, but not computationally.

    if u can't write me down the diagonal, i can't agree u "PRODUCED" it



    therefor even if given an enumeration which includes _only_ _all_
    computable numbers, we should not expect to be able to use that to
    produce a diagonal which includes _all_ computable sequences...

    What are you considering the difference between a "Computable Number"
    and a "Computable Sequence"?

    | A sequence is said to be computable if it can be computed
    | by a circle-free machine. A number is computable if it
    | differs by an integer from the number computed by a
    | circle-free machine


    Note, we can PRODUCE an enumeration of all computable numbers, under the

    u can "DEFINE" it i guess, i can't agree u can actually PRODUCE it as
    show me a production of it ... as u can't actually write it down without
    a method to compute it

    i'm pretty whatever about the axiom of choice

    axiom of choice, but we can not GIVE that to a machine, as that
    enumeration isn't finite or computable,


    no?




    And without all the numbers, it isn't COMPLETE, and thus
    uninteresting.

    not all machines even produce output, so ofc trying to compute a
    diagonal across all machines can include all machines ...

    Right, which is why we CAN compute an enumeration of all machines
    but not the diagonal generated by them.


    but all computable numbers do have outputs for all K, so they
    should be includable in attempting to compute a diagonal across all >>>>> machines

    The problem is that you are NOT making an enumeration of ALL
    machines, but only machines that reach the diagonal when sorted by
    your criteria.

    Where we sort the machines this way, we create a super-set of the

    superset??? to create this we enumerated out and simulate _all_
    machine, there is _no_ superset of that (which consists of only
    machines)...

    Sure there is, as you keep on changing the ORDER of the machines as
    you investigate.


    machines, and thus get to an uncountable infinity, so we can't
    enumerate

    BRO, what are you talking about???

    You don't understand an uncountable infinity?

    honestly bro u just fucking backing urself into a corner by completely misapplying basic number theory



    machine enumeration _ONLY_ form countable infinities, forming an
    uncountable infinity with machines is diagonalizing them which is a
    _contradiction_

    Right, WHEN YOU ENUMERATE THEM, and don't suffle them.

    Your code keeps on updating the "set of machines" it is looking at,

    each set of machines it looks at, for any given cycle, is _finite_, as
    each cycle of the dovetailing algo is and must be _finite_ ...

    you cannot create an uncountable set of sets using only finite length
    sets of finite objects (like machines/natural number), richard

    this is basic number theory

    and _no_ just because each machine may produce an infinite set of output does not turing this into an uncountable situation... like any given computable sequence, the entire output set is equatable with the /finite length/ machine that produced it, so therefor sets of output sets will
    not produce countability issues anymore than sets of the machines which produce them will

    which gets enough different sets to reach something of the same
    cardinaltiy of the power set.


    it.

    Of course, uncountable infinities doen't follow the logic that you
    want to try to think with.

    BRO, LOOK WHAT UR WRITING!

    you've gone off the fucking deep end claiming that machines, which
    are bijectable with natural nubmers, form _uncountable
    infinities_ ... that's a _contradiction_ dude!

    Right, the MACHINES are bijectable, but you don't just simply process
    them.

    After all, the set of the mappings of the Natural Numbers to 0 or 1 is
    an uncountable set.

    the set of *all* mappings sure, but not necessarily all subsets of that, obviously...

    the set of all computable mappings obviously isn't uncountable




    my god, this fucking group???

    what the fuck are you all smoking???

    IT seems YOU are the one smoking something, as you refuse to
    understand the problems you are trying to just ignore.


    why are others just letting u making wild-ass claims like that???

    ... the whole _point_ of §8 from /on computable numbers/ is that we
    _cannot_ be able to prove machines produce an uncountable infinity ...

    Where do you get that from?

    The point is that we can not in finite steps decide if a given machine
    is circular or not,

    And we can not produce a machine that computationally enumerates the
    compuational numbers or the non-circular machines.

    Where do you see him talking about anything about "countability".

    literally the first sentence of §8:

    | It may be thought that arguments which prove that the
    | real numbers are not enumerable would also prove that
    | the computable numbers and sequences cannot be enumerable

    the whole point of the H paradox was to prevent a diagonalization proof
    on computable numbers that would show them to be not enumerable, more commonly now known as uncountable ...

    so you casually throwing uncountability in regards to computing a
    _single set_ of machines is just mindbogglingly detached from even
    turing's proof, which is crazy because ur trying to defend his proof bro,

    _and fucking nonsense like this is exactly why i'm pursuing this research_

    the fucking tards that have been handling this thus far are incredibly lacking in their critical thinking and coherency faculties, and have now ended up attacking me with the very same ideas turing was trying to keep from being applied to computable numbers, _IN THE FIRST PLACE_




    While the sum of the number of steps needed to get to the Kth output
    of anti-sloppier-H is finite, when you multiply each element by the
    number of machines included by sloppier-H to compute that, the sum
    doesn't converge, thus your "enumeration" puts anti-sloppier-H at an
    uncountable value in the enumeration even though the machine itself
    is circle-free.





    It seems you have a fundamental problem about thinking through >>>>>>>> the requirements, as "requirements" are just optional ideas to you. >>>>>>>>


    clearly being able to enumerate a set of machines, does _not_ >>>>>>>>> then imply one can certainly construct a diagonal across the >>>>>>>>> computable numbers within that set

    Because the determination that a given machine create a
    computable number is an uncomputable operation.

    What is so hard about that?

    that determination is _still_ not involved with the sloppier_H
    computation that i proposed

    And it never reaches ALL the numbers, because it keeps on pushing >>>>>> off when to get to anti_sloppier_H.

    Since sloppier_H never puts a digit of anti_sloppier_H on the
    diagonal, anti_sloppier_H doesn't need to figure out what its
    diagonal digit is.





    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about. >>>>>>>>>>
    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K" >>>>>>>>>> isn't a VALUE output, but the id number of the row being

    It seems that is just all you can do, since you don't understand how

    Your logic is just based on fallacies.

    Things like assuming the conclusion, or ignoring the facts.





    After all, you ARE proving you don't understand what a requirement >>>>>> is.

    this is exploring the bounds of theory mate, not engineering a system >>>>
    But, you forget that you need to actually PROVE what you claim.

    Try to prove that your enumeration is complete.

    Because machines that are eventually circular get into your mix, you
    can not show that you compute "fast" enough to get to any particuar
    machine, as there are an infinite number of machines that can get to
    their kth output before this one, (even if they eventually become
    circular and stop outputing).

    Ultimately, the problem is that the sorting that your "enumeration"
    is based on creates a super-set of the Natural Numbers, which is
    uncountable, so you can't get to all the elements of that set.

    oh my god bro ... see you've gone down a fucking road bro. machines
    _cannot_ produce an uncountable infinity. avoiding that was _why_
    turing pursued proving the H paradox in the first place!

    Right, they can not actually produce it, but if the algorith would
    generate it they just will not finish.


    yet here you are trying to shut my down by casually claiming actually
    machines form uncountable infinities now???

    no, an infinite set of infinite sets of machines can be uncountable,

    but just an infinite set of machines cannot be uncountable, richard

    the set of computable numbers is _not_ uncountable

    nothing here is trying to compute an uncountable set

    u bringing up uncountablity is just u ramming in a pathetic excuse for

    I guess your ignorance is approaching infinity.


    _that was what turing was trying to avoiding in the first place_ !!!

    No, he was pointing out that we can not get a result that depends on
    an uncountable infinity.

    I can easily write a program that "when it completes" would have
    produced and uncountable infinite set, it just can't ever get that far.

    The fact you don't understand this is part of your problem.

    But since you get into the power-set (but letting your machine resort

    Again, your problem is you don't understand about infinity.

    Sloppier_H computes enough from the circular machines to need an

    *infinite not uncountable... the steps of any actual computation are
    necessarily countable,

    and circular machine do not impede dovetailing algo, that is a bizarre
    response and and just forgetful of the fact circular machines also do
    not impede using dovetailing to enumerate out halting machines

    admittedly halting machines cannot entirely express this paradox because halting machines cannot compute across an infinite set of machines, and
    this paradox requires that facet in order to contradict _all_ possible machines...

    non-halting machines can, and basically the consensus just gave up at
    the recognition of this... problem 🤷🤷🤷

    my opinion is that ur failure rick to really understand the true relationship of countability to machines *and therefore their output
    sets* is highly related to the incomplete view of undecidability u also hold. i see that decidability problems, especially in regards to the behaviors of machine, can be limited and/or constrained /by the inherent limited countable nature of machines/ and /therefore their output sets
    as well/

    Your problem is you just don't understand what you are talking about.

    It seems you think that countable sets must be computable, but they are not.

    Your logic is based on, as you just explained, your opinion, but that
    isn't what real logic is based on.

    Your world seems to just continue to go back to your concept that if you
    can imagine it, it might be true, and thus you can build logic assuming
    it to be true.

    This isn't how truth is determined, and just makes your world just a
    fantasy without reality.

    But you aren't allowed to hypothisize about the impossible, except to

    This is the fatal fallacy in all your logic.

    Of course if you start with a broken system where 1 == 0, you can prove
    all sorts of nonsense. Your world is just one that has exploded by the contradictions you assume are allowed.



    the _same_ problem would exist

    (note that _particular_ problem wouldn't exist with RTMs)

    Sure it would, you just are trying to define RTMs so that wrong answers
    can be right.



    which puts off the completion of the enumeration past the limits of
    finiteness.

    It dies getting stuck in its strawmen,




    but computable numbers should all have outputs to put on the
    diagonal, yet we cannot compute that,

    Yes, but apparently anti-sloppier-H isn't there.

    yes, paradoxically so ...

    So you AGREE that it is mising.

    Since anti-sloppier-H and sloppier-H are circularity equivalent, that
    means either sloppier-H misses a computational number, or it is
    circular and doesn't actually compute the full diagonal.




    this doesn't require specifically selection for them, they should
    have outputs regardless of whether we select for them, and that
    should be the outcome of simulating them

    But unfortunately doesn't actually work, as it keeps pushing off
    anti- sloppier-H, which while actually computable, beomes to "slow"
    to reach the top of the list.

    at least u understand the problem here

    Yes, I do.

    But apparently you don't, because you don't actually understand the
    requirements.




    therefore, regardless of whether we can enumerate a set of
    computable numbers or not, they cannot all be computably put on a
    diagonal

    But, you don't haven't enumerated the complete set of computable
    numbers, and a diagonal of it, as anti-sloppier-H outputs its Kth
    digits in a finite number of steps if sloppier-H outputs its Kth
    digit in a finite number of steps, so both are generating computable
    numbers or not together, but anti-sloppier-H isn't in your enumeration. >>>
    the question is: are u able to admit this is a problem? or just
    continually accept the paradoxical as valid because ur already so
    used to promoting the current consensus as valid?

    It is a RESOLVED problem, because your enumeration just isn't complete.

    IT is YOU that can't see the actual problem, because you are just
    ignorant of the basics of the theory you are trying to talk about.

    Your problem is you just assume you understand what you machine does,
    because you apparently don't understand how to handle things that can
    be infinite, because you like to assume they just do what you want.

    the answer is: not yet apparently

    And that is the problem, you don't understand the basics of logic, and
    thus everything you do is just based on assuming the absurd.

    Sloppier_H computes enough from the circular machines to need an

    And NEVER reaches its stated goal, even in that contable infinite number
    of steps.


    and circular machine do not impede dovetailing algo, that is a bizarre response and and just forgetful of the fact circular machines also do
    not impede using dovetailing to enumerate out halting machines

    Sure they do, as they push off the time needed to simulate the
    non-circulare machines until it never happens.


    described isn't a computable number, only the diagonal of the PARTIAL
    enumeration of the machine that it gets to the output of is.





    Thus, your diagonal is just another of your Unicorns.


    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running all >>>>>>>> machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal.

    that's fine, the sloppier_H diagonal does not care...

    Sure it does, because otherwise it isn't a diagonal.


    but all the computable numbers _should_ reach the diagonal,
    because they _all_ produce an infinite sequence...

    Right, and that diagonal never include the results of the properly >>>>>> built anti_sloppier_H.

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H is exactly the same code as sloppier_H
    (including the number checked) except it outputs the reversed digit. >>>>>>
    Thus, if sloppier_H continues to run and produce output, so does
    anti_sloppier_H


    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation,
    given we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't
    happen

    Right, but it misses some, like anti_sloppier_H.

    which means the fact some are missed is an independent facet of the >>>>> enumeration

    But, then the enumeration CAN'T BE COMPLETE.

    the enumeration is it produced from _IS COMPLETE_

    No it isn't.

    The enumeratio of MACHINES that it starts from is complete.

    yes it starts with a full enumeration of all machines, including all computable numbers, and is still unable to produce a diagonal that
    includes all computable numbers despite them all having enough digits to
    be on the diagonal

    Because determining which machines are non-circular is non-computatable,
    in it spends too much time simulating machines that will never produce a result.

    The problem is that if a given non-circular machine (m) takes N(k) steps
    to compute its kth digit, it won't be used to simulate that digit for
    output unless there are less than k machines in process that have
    reached that point in the m+N(k) machines that are in the running.

    There exists enough circular machines fast enough, and some non-circular machines slow enough, that the non-circular machine never gets output.

    Try to prove otherwise!

    After all, I have shown a machine that is in that situtation, at least
    if your sloppier-H actually produces a computable number becausse it is non-circular (my anti-sloppier-H). It produces its k'th digit in exactly
    the same number of steps as the sloppier-H it was modeled after, but
    clearly never gets output, because it is always beaten to the line by
    other machines.



    The enumeration that the diagonal is defined to be computed of is not,
    as you claim it need to get to a machine for every computable number.



    The problem is that the progress that sloppier-H makes gets slower
    and slower as the infinite number of circular machines get added to
    the set of machines being simulated to find the one that makes the
    next digit, and thus the number of steps that sloppier-H needs to
    perform grows, and that sum becomes a divergent sum that doesn't
    converge, and thus it never actually gets to anti-sloppier-H.

    i'm aware of the problem that given an enumeration which certainly
    includes _all_ computable sequences, we cannot seem to actually form
    a diagonal with that which includes _all_ computable sequences

    We can PRODUCE such a diagonal, but not computationally.

    if u can't write me down the diagonal, i can't agree u "PRODUCED" it

    Then you dom't understand what the words mean and how the axiom of
    choice works.

    Since the diagonal in infinite in length, it can't be written down, so
    to you logic, it can't exist.




    therefor even if given an enumeration which includes _only_ _all_
    computable numbers, we should not expect to be able to use that to
    produce a diagonal which includes _all_ computable sequences...

    What are you considering the difference between a "Computable Number"
    and a "Computable Sequence"?

    | A sequence is said to be computable if it can be computed
    | by a circle-free machine. A number is computable if it
    | differs by an integer from the number computed by a
    | circle-free machine

    Where do you get that definition of a computable number, that it DIFFERS
    from a number computed by a circle-free machine?



    Note, we can PRODUCE an enumeration of all computable numbers, under the

    u can "DEFINE" it i guess, i can't agree u can actually PRODUCE it as
    show me a production of it ... as u can't actually write it down without
    a method to compute it

    Which shows the hole in your logic.



    i'm pretty whatever about the axiom of choice


    It seems you are pretty "whatever" abput logical thinking in general.


    axiom of choice, but we can not GIVE that to a machine, as that
    enumeration isn't finite or computable,


    no?




    And without all the numbers, it isn't COMPLETE, and thus
    uninteresting.

    not all machines even produce output, so ofc trying to compute a
    diagonal across all machines can include all machines ...

    Right, which is why we CAN compute an enumeration of all machines
    but not the diagonal generated by them.


    but all computable numbers do have outputs for all K, so they
    should be includable in attempting to compute a diagonal across all >>>>> machines

    The problem is that you are NOT making an enumeration of ALL
    machines, but only machines that reach the diagonal when sorted by
    your criteria.

    Where we sort the machines this way, we create a super-set of the

    superset??? to create this we enumerated out and simulate _all_
    machine, there is _no_ superset of that (which consists of only
    machines)...

    Sure there is, as you keep on changing the ORDER of the machines as
    you investigate.


    machines, and thus get to an uncountable infinity, so we can't
    enumerate

    BRO, what are you talking about???

    You don't understand an uncountable infinity?

    honestly bro u just fucking backing urself into a corner by completely misapplying basic number theory

    Try to show me wrong.




    machine enumeration _ONLY_ form countable infinities, forming an
    uncountable infinity with machines is diagonalizing them which is a
    _contradiction_

    Right, WHEN YOU ENUMERATE THEM, and don't suffle them.

    Your code keeps on updating the "set of machines" it is looking at,

    each set of machines it looks at, for any given cycle, is _finite_, as
    each cycle of the dovetailing algo is and must be _finite_ ...

    you cannot create an uncountable set of sets using only finite length
    sets of finite objects (like machines/natural number), richard

    But the set your goal is trying to compute IS, and that is why you can
    never produce it.


    this is basic number theory

    No, you are just showing why you can't count the uncountable infinity.

    That exact same arguement occurs in any attempt to enumerate an
    uncountable infinity, you always only have a finite set of things under consideration at the time, you just never get to anywhere near the end.


    and _no_ just because each machine may produce an infinite set of output does not turing this into an uncountable situation... like any given computable sequence, the entire output set is equatable with the /finite length/ machine that produced it, so therefor sets of output sets will
    not produce countability issues anymore than sets of the machines which produce them will

    Because countable infinity can be counted.

    If we have an O(1) method of finding the "next" machine in sequence, we
    can compute the number of steps needed to find the Kth digit of the Nth number, and it will be finite.

    Because YOUR method of computing the diagonal doesn't follow that
    method, since your selecting isn't O(1), it turns out that to compute
    how many steps it takes to do that same thing by our method is no longer
    a bounded number and thus you haven't actually enumerated the system.


    which gets enough different sets to reach something of the same
    cardinaltiy of the power set.


    it.

    Of course, uncountable infinities doen't follow the logic that you
    want to try to think with.

    BRO, LOOK WHAT UR WRITING!

    you've gone off the fucking deep end claiming that machines, which
    are bijectable with natural nubmers, form _uncountable
    infinities_ ... that's a _contradiction_ dude!

    Right, the MACHINES are bijectable, but you don't just simply process
    them.

    After all, the set of the mappings of the Natural Numbers to 0 or 1 is
    an uncountable set.

    the set of *all* mappings sure, but not necessarily all subsets of that, obviously...

    Not ALL, but some. Your problem is you need to try to show that the one
    you are working with isn't one of them, while I have shown it is by the existance of anti-sloppier-H, which is a computable number not in the
    set (that is defined to need to include it) if the subset you are trying
    to generate wasn't.


    the set of all computable mappings obviously isn't uncountable

    Right, but that isn't the set you are working with.





    my god, this fucking group???

    what the fuck are you all smoking???

    IT seems YOU are the one smoking something, as you refuse to
    understand the problems you are trying to just ignore.


    why are others just letting u making wild-ass claims like that???

    ... the whole _point_ of §8 from /on computable numbers/ is that we
    _cannot_ be able to prove machines produce an uncountable infinity ...

    Where do you get that from?

    The point is that we can not in finite steps decide if a given machine
    is circular or not,

    And we can not produce a machine that computationally enumerates the
    compuational numbers or the non-circular machines.

    Where do you see him talking about anything about "countability".

    literally the first sentence of §8:

    | It may be thought that arguments which prove that the
    | real numbers are not enumerable would also prove that
    | the computable numbers and sequences cannot be enumerable

    Which shows that he isn't using a counting arguement, because he is
    showing that isn't applicable.

    Note, you have to watch out on the meaning of the words, as Turing uses "enumerable" here to mean what we now call effectively enumerable, to
    mean an enumeration that is computable.

    By THAT definition, the computable numbers are not enumerable, even
    though they can by put into a bijection with the Natural Numbers, and
    are thus a countable infinity.


    the whole point of the H paradox was to prevent a diagonalization proof
    on computable numbers that would show them to be not enumerable, more commonly now known as uncountable ...

    Which is a wrong statement as I just explained.

    There are only a countable number of machines, and just by bi-jection
    they must be enumerable by your definition, but that enumeration is not
    what we now call effective, so isn't what Turing was calling enumerable.


    so you casually throwing uncountability in regards to computing a
    _single set_ of machines is just mindbogglingly detached from even
    turing's proof, which is crazy because ur trying to defend his proof bro,

    Because in his language, enumerating and being countable are different
    things.


    _and fucking nonsense like this is exactly why i'm pursuing this research_

    And the "fucking nonsense" is based on you just failing to learn what
    things mean in their context.


    the fucking tards that have been handling this thus far are incredibly lacking in their critical thinking and coherency faculties, and have now ended up attacking me with the very same ideas turing was trying to keep from being applied to computable numbers, _IN THE FIRST PLACE_

    No, YOU lack the critical thinking ability to understand what is being discussed, as you don't understand the need to understand the language
    as it is being used.

    The fact that your logic depends on the need to assume false statements
    just shows how fucked up your brain is. Of course, you don't see the
    falseness of the statements, as you just don't understand what they
    actually mean because you don't understand the language being used.

    You blaim the great minds of being stupid because they aren't using
    words the way you want them to be, but the way they were defined at the
    time they wrote their papers.





    While the sum of the number of steps needed to get to the Kth output
    of anti-sloppier-H is finite, when you multiply each element by the
    number of machines included by sloppier-H to compute that, the sum
    doesn't converge, thus your "enumeration" puts anti-sloppier-H at an
    uncountable value in the enumeration even though the machine itself
    is circle-free.

    Because the determination that a given machine create a
    computable number is an uncomputable operation.

    What is so hard about that?

    that determination is _still_ not involved with the sloppier_H
    computation that i proposed

    And it never reaches ALL the numbers, because it keeps on pushing >>>>>> off when to get to anti_sloppier_H.

    Since sloppier_H never puts a digit of anti_sloppier_H on the
    diagonal, anti_sloppier_H doesn't need to figure out what its

    But, you forget that you need to actually PROVE what you claim.

    Try to prove that your enumeration is complete.

    Because machines that are eventually circular get into your mix, you
    can not show that you compute "fast" enough to get to any particuar
    machine, as there are an infinite number of machines that can get to
    their kth output before this one, (even if they eventually become
    circular and stop outputing).

    Ultimately, the problem is that the sorting that your "enumeration"
    is based on creates a super-set of the Natural Numbers, which is
    uncountable, so you can't get to all the elements of that set.

    oh my god bro ... see you've gone down a fucking road bro. machines
    _cannot_ produce an uncountable infinity. avoiding that was _why_
    turing pursued proving the H paradox in the first place!

    Right, they can not actually produce it, but if the algorith would
    generate it they just will not finish.


    yet here you are trying to shut my down by casually claiming actually
    machines form uncountable infinities now???

    SETS of machines can.

    no, an infinite set of infinite sets of machines can be uncountable,

    but just an infinite set of machines cannot be uncountable, richard

    Right,


    the set of computable numbers is _not_ uncountable

    Right.


    nothing here is trying to compute an uncountable set

    Right, but computable is a proper subset of countable.

    When we look at the space being examined by your computation, it is
    looking at VARIOUS sets of machines. And this set that is built
    INTERNALLY, if expaded to its definition, would be uncountable.

    Thus, the EXTERNAL set of the problem might be countable, but the
    INTERNAL space being examined goes uncountable, and thus the comutation
    can't complete, even given countable infinite time.


    u bringing up uncountablity is just u ramming in a pathetic excuse for
    us failing to study this further for almost a century now...

    And the problem is that if the path only generated a countable number of possibilities, you could compute it.



    I guess your ignorance is approaching infinity.


    _that was what turing was trying to avoiding in the first place_ !!!

    No, he was pointing out that we can not get a result that depends on
    an uncountable infinity.

    I can easily write a program that "when it completes" would have
    produced and uncountable infinite set, it just can't ever get that far.

    The fact you don't understand this is part of your problem.

    Sure it is.

    it's not richard



    even if we ( _hypothetically_ ) started with a full enumeration of

    But you aren't allowed to hypothisize about the impossible, except to
    prove it impossible.

    who's stopping me? you?? 🤣🤣🤣


    This is the fatal fallacy in all your logic.

    Of course if you start with a broken system where 1 == 0, you can prove
    all sorts of nonsense. Your world is just one that has exploded by the contradictions you assume are allowed.

    what? richard, the _same_ problem manifests with trying to dovetail
    _all_ machines as that with _just_ computable numbers ...

    it has nothing to do with supposed impossibility of effectively
    enumerating computable numbers, there's no connection ur just throwing arguments at the wall in total denial




    the _same_ problem would exist

    (note that _particular_ problem wouldn't exist with RTMs)

    Sure it would, you just are trying to define RTMs so that wrong answers
    can be right.



    which puts off the completion of the enumeration past the limits of
    finiteness.

    It dies getting stuck in its strawmen,




    but computable numbers should all have outputs to put on the
    diagonal, yet we cannot compute that,

    Yes, but apparently anti-sloppier-H isn't there.

    yes, paradoxically so ...

    So you AGREE that it is mising.

    Since anti-sloppier-H and sloppier-H are circularity equivalent, that
    means either sloppier-H misses a computational number, or it is
    circular and doesn't actually compute the full diagonal.




    this doesn't require specifically selection for them, they should >>>>>> have outputs regardless of whether we select for them, and that
    should be the outcome of simulating them

    But unfortunately doesn't actually work, as it keeps pushing off
    anti- sloppier-H, which while actually computable, beomes to "slow" >>>>> to reach the top of the list.

    at least u understand the problem here

    Yes, I do.

    But apparently you don't, because you don't actually understand the
    requirements.




    therefore, regardless of whether we can enumerate a set of
    computable numbers or not, they cannot all be computably put on a >>>>>> diagonal

    But, you don't haven't enumerated the complete set of computable
    numbers, and a diagonal of it, as anti-sloppier-H outputs its Kth
    digits in a finite number of steps if sloppier-H outputs its Kth
    digit in a finite number of steps, so both are generating
    computable numbers or not together, but anti-sloppier-H isn't in
    your enumeration.

    the question is: are u able to admit this is a problem? or just
    continually accept the paradoxical as valid because ur already so
    used to promoting the current consensus as valid?

    It is a RESOLVED problem, because your enumeration just isn't complete.

    IT is YOU that can't see the actual problem, because you are just
    ignorant of the basics of the theory you are trying to talk about.

    Your problem is you just assume you understand what you machine does,
    because you apparently don't understand how to handle things that can
    be infinite, because you like to assume they just do what you want.

    the answer is: not yet apparently

    And that is the problem, you don't understand the basics of logic, and
    thus everything you do is just based on assuming the absurd.









    if i were talking to someone capable of doing more than upholding >>>>>> a bandwagon this would be an interesting fact

    But not a fact, as it has a flaw in that you assume rules that
    apply to finite sets apply to infinite sets.

    the property i'm really banking on is their countability vs being
    uncountable

    But since you get into the power-set (but letting your machine resort
    them by length of running time) you get into the uncountable.

    Again, your problem is you don't understand about infinity.

    Sloppier_H computes enough from the circular machines to need an
    uncountable number of steps to complete, and thus the diagonal as

    *infinite not uncountable... the steps of any actual computation are
    necessarily countable,

    And NEVER reaches its stated goal, even in that contable infinite number
    of steps.

    bro, if u think we've diagonalized _all_ machines and demonstrated an uncountable infinite being involved ....

    _that is exactly what turing was trying to prevent in §8_



    and circular machine do not impede dovetailing algo, that is a bizarre
    response and and just forgetful of the fact circular machines also do
    not impede using dovetailing to enumerate out halting machines

    Sure they do, as they push off the time needed to simulate the non- circulare machines until it never happens.

    no, anti_sloppier_H is defined to only produce an output for some K
    *after* sloppier_H produces an output for that K. even if
    anti_sloppier_H skipped everything but computable sequences,
    anti_sloppier_H still could never produce some K *after* sloppier_H does...



    described isn't a computable number, only the diagonal of the PARTIAL
    enumeration of the machine that it gets to the output of is.





    Thus, your diagonal is just another of your Unicorns.


    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running >>>>>>>>> all machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal. >>>>>>>>
    that's fine, the sloppier_H diagonal does not care...

    Sure it does, because otherwise it isn't a diagonal.


    but all the computable numbers _should_ reach the diagonal,
    because they _all_ produce an infinite sequence...

    Right, and that diagonal never include the results of the
    properly built anti_sloppier_H.

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H is exactly the same code as sloppier_H >>>>>>> (including the number checked) except it outputs the reversed digit. >>>>>>>
    Thus, if sloppier_H continues to run and produce output, so does >>>>>>> anti_sloppier_H


    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation, >>>>>>>> given we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't >>>>>>>> happen

    Right, but it misses some, like anti_sloppier_H.

    which means the fact some are missed is an independent facet of
    the enumeration

    But, then the enumeration CAN'T BE COMPLETE.

    the enumeration is it produced from _IS COMPLETE_

    No it isn't.

    The enumeratio of MACHINES that it starts from is complete.

    yes it starts with a full enumeration of all machines, including all
    computable numbers, and is still unable to produce a diagonal that
    includes all computable numbers despite them all having enough digits
    to be on the diagonal

    Because determining which machines are non-circular is non-computatable,
    in it spends too much time simulating machines that will never produce a result.

    ...this doesn't decide what machines are non-circular, as it will mix in circular machines onto the diagonal...

    ur just making up wild claims rick


    The problem is that if a given non-circular machine (m) takes N(k) steps
    to compute its kth digit, it won't be used to simulate that digit for
    output unless there are less than k machines in process that have
    reached that point in the m+N(k) machines that are in the running.

    There exists enough circular machines fast enough, and some non-circular machines slow enough, that the non-circular machine never gets output.

    Try to prove otherwise!

    no, anti_sloppier_H is defined to only produce an output for some K
    *after* sloppier_H produces an output for that K. even if
    anti_sloppier_H skipped everything but computable sequences,
    anti_sloppier_H still could never produce some K *after* sloppier_H does...


    After all, I have shown a machine that is in that situtation, at least
    if your sloppier-H actually produces a computable number becausse it is non-circular (my anti-sloppier-H). It produces its k'th digit in exactly
    the same number of steps as the sloppier-H it was modeled after, but

    no richard, for each cycle it must simulate all of sloppier_H + extra
    steps for anti_sloppier_H

    clearly never gets output, because it is always beaten to the line by
    other machines.



    The enumeration that the diagonal is defined to be computed of is
    not, as you claim it need to get to a machine for every computable
    number.



    The problem is that the progress that sloppier-H makes gets slower
    and slower as the infinite number of circular machines get added to >>>>> the set of machines being simulated to find the one that makes the
    next digit, and thus the number of steps that sloppier-H needs to
    perform grows, and that sum becomes a divergent sum that doesn't
    converge, and thus it never actually gets to anti-sloppier-H.

    i'm aware of the problem that given an enumeration which certainly
    includes _all_ computable sequences, we cannot seem to actually form
    a diagonal with that which includes _all_ computable sequences

    We can PRODUCE such a diagonal, but not computationally.

    if u can't write me down the diagonal, i can't agree u "PRODUCED" it

    Then you dom't understand what the words mean and how the axiom of
    choice works.

    that's fine. u keep boasting about producing something that results in
    no actual product and i'll just keep staring blankly at how stupid a
    claim that is


    Since the diagonal in infinite in length, it can't be written down, so
    to you logic, it can't exist.

    you can't write down any amount of it, as u have no method to





    therefor even if given an enumeration which includes _only_ _all_
    computable numbers, we should not expect to be able to use that to
    produce a diagonal which includes _all_ computable sequences...

    What are you considering the difference between a "Computable Number"
    and a "Computable Sequence"?

    | A sequence is said to be computable if it can be computed
    | by a circle-free machine. A number is computable if it
    | differs by an integer from the number computed by a
    | circle-free machine

    Where do you get that definition of a computable number, that it DIFFERS from a number computed by a circle-free machine?

    the same source i always quote: /on computable numbers/ richard




    Note, we can PRODUCE an enumeration of all computable numbers, under the >>
    u can "DEFINE" it i guess, i can't agree u can actually PRODUCE it as
    show me a production of it ... as u can't actually write it down
    without a method to compute it

    Which shows the hole in your logic.

    what hole is that?




    i'm pretty whatever about the axiom of choice


    It seems you are pretty "whatever" abput logical thinking in general.


    axiom of choice, but we can not GIVE that to a machine, as that
    enumeration isn't finite or computable,


    no?




    And without all the numbers, it isn't COMPLETE, and thus
    uninteresting.

    not all machines even produce output, so ofc trying to compute a
    diagonal across all machines can include all machines ...

    Right, which is why we CAN compute an enumeration of all machines
    but not the diagonal generated by them.


    but all computable numbers do have outputs for all K, so they
    should be includable in attempting to compute a diagonal across
    all machines

    The problem is that you are NOT making an enumeration of ALL
    machines, but only machines that reach the diagonal when sorted by
    your criteria.

    Where we sort the machines this way, we create a super-set of the

    superset??? to create this we enumerated out and simulate _all_
    machine, there is _no_ superset of that (which consists of only
    machines)...

    Sure there is, as you keep on changing the ORDER of the machines as
    you investigate.


    machines, and thus get to an uncountable infinity, so we can't
    enumerate

    BRO, what are you talking about???

    You don't understand an uncountable infinity?

    honestly bro u just fucking backing urself into a corner by completely
    misapplying basic number theory

    Try to show me wrong.

    oh my fucking god bro... ur gunna double down on this??? classic rick...





    machine enumeration _ONLY_ form countable infinities, forming an
    uncountable infinity with machines is diagonalizing them which is a
    _contradiction_

    Right, WHEN YOU ENUMERATE THEM, and don't suffle them.

    Your code keeps on updating the "set of machines" it is looking at,

    each set of machines it looks at, for any given cycle, is _finite_, as
    each cycle of the dovetailing algo is and must be _finite_ ...

    you cannot create an uncountable set of sets using only finite length
    sets of finite objects (like machines/natural number), richard

    But the set your goal is trying to compute IS, and that is why you can
    never produce it.


    this is basic number theory

    No, you are just showing why you can't count the uncountable infinity.

    That exact same arguement occurs in any attempt to enumerate an
    uncountable infinity, you always only have a finite set of things under

    are you suggesting that we've diagonalized the set of all output sets,
    showing it to be an uncountable infinity?

    consideration at the time, you just never get to anywhere near the end.


    and _no_ just because each machine may produce an infinite set of
    output does not turing this into an uncountable situation... like any
    given computable sequence, the entire output set is equatable with
    the /finite length/ machine that produced it, so therefor sets of
    output sets will not produce countability issues anymore than sets of
    the machines which produce them will

    Because countable infinity can be counted.

    bro, are you literally contradicting urself one sentence down by
    agreeing that the set of all output sets is a countable infinity???


    If we have an O(1) method of finding the "next" machine in sequence, we

    this has nothing to do with big O and certainly does not need to be O(1) 🤣🤣🤣

    can compute the number of steps needed to find the Kth digit of the Nth number, and it will be finite.

    Because YOUR method of computing the diagonal doesn't follow that
    method, since your selecting isn't O(1), it turns out that to compute
    how many steps it takes to do that same thing by our method is no longer
    a bounded number and thus you haven't actually enumerated the system.

    huh this brings up another question in my mind:

    can we enumerate _all_ the output from _all_ the machines???



    which gets enough different sets to reach something of the same
    cardinaltiy of the power set.


    it.

    Of course, uncountable infinities doen't follow the logic that you
    want to try to think with.

    BRO, LOOK WHAT UR WRITING!

    you've gone off the fucking deep end claiming that machines, which
    are bijectable with natural nubmers, form _uncountable
    infinities_ ... that's a _contradiction_ dude!

    Right, the MACHINES are bijectable, but you don't just simply process
    them.

    After all, the set of the mappings of the Natural Numbers to 0 or 1
    is an uncountable set.

    the set of *all* mappings sure, but not necessarily all subsets of
    that, obviously...

    Not ALL, but some. Your problem is you need to try to show that the one
    you are working with isn't one of them, while I have shown it is by the existance of anti-sloppier-H, which is a computable number not in the
    set (that is defined to need to include it) if the subset you are trying
    to generate wasn't.


    the set of all computable mappings obviously isn't uncountable

    Right, but that isn't the set you are working with.

    uhhh... yes it is? i'm only working with the outputs of machines, and if
    it was output by a machine obviously it was a computable mapping...






    my god, this fucking group???

    what the fuck are you all smoking???

    IT seems YOU are the one smoking something, as you refuse to
    understand the problems you are trying to just ignore.


    why are others just letting u making wild-ass claims like that???

    ... the whole _point_ of §8 from /on computable numbers/ is that we
    _cannot_ be able to prove machines produce an uncountable infinity ...

    Where do you get that from?

    The point is that we can not in finite steps decide if a given
    machine is circular or not,

    And we can not produce a machine that computationally enumerates the
    compuational numbers or the non-circular machines.

    Where do you see him talking about anything about "countability".

    literally the first sentence of §8:

    | It may be thought that arguments which prove that the
    | real numbers are not enumerable would also prove that
    | the computable numbers and sequences cannot be enumerable

    Which shows that he isn't using a counting arguement, because he is
    showing that isn't applicable.

    Note, you have to watch out on the meaning of the words, as Turing uses "enumerable" here to mean what we now call effectively enumerable, to
    mean an enumeration that is computable.

    no, it is specifically mentioning "arguments which prove that real
    numbers are not enumerable" which is a reference to cantor's
    diagonlization argument proving real numbers aren't enumerable/countable
    vs natural numbers


    By THAT definition, the computable numbers are not enumerable, even

    it's not by "THAT" definition. turing refers to "THAT" as "computability":

    | In a recent paper Alonzo Church has introduced an idea of
    | "effective calculability", which is equivalent to my "computability",
    | but is very differently defined. Church also reaches similar
    | conclusions about the Entscheidungsproblem. The proof of equivalence
    | between "computability" and "effective calculability" is outlined in
    | an appendix to the present paper


    though they can by put into a bijection with the Natural Numbers, and
    are thus a countable infinity.


    the whole point of the H paradox was to prevent a diagonalization
    proof on computable numbers that would show them to be not enumerable,
    more commonly now known as uncountable ...

    Which is a wrong statement as I just explained.

    There are only a countable number of machines, and just by bi-jection
    they must be enumerable by your definition, but that enumeration is not
    what we now call effective, so isn't what Turing was calling enumerable.


    so you casually throwing uncountability in regards to computing a
    _single set_ of machines is just mindbogglingly detached from even
    turing's proof, which is crazy because ur trying to defend his proof bro,

    Because in his language, enumerating and being countable are different things.

    no they aren't



    _and fucking nonsense like this is exactly why i'm pursuing this
    research_

    And the "fucking nonsense" is based on you just failing to learn what
    things mean in their context.


    the fucking tards that have been handling this thus far are incredibly
    lacking in their critical thinking and coherency faculties, and have
    now ended up attacking me with the very same ideas turing was trying
    to keep from being applied to computable numbers, _IN THE FIRST PLACE_

    No, YOU lack the critical thinking ability to understand what is being discussed, as you don't understand the need to understand the language
    as it is being used.

    The fact that your logic depends on the need to assume false statements
    just shows how fucked up your brain is. Of course, you don't see the falseness of the statements, as you just don't understand what they
    actually mean because you don't understand the language being used.

    You blaim the great minds of being stupid because they aren't using
    words the way you want them to be, but the way they were defined at the
    time they wrote their papers.





    While the sum of the number of steps needed to get to the Kth
    output of anti-sloppier-H is finite, when you multiply each element >>>>> by the number of machines included by sloppier-H to compute that,
    the sum doesn't converge, thus your "enumeration" puts anti-

    Since sloppier_H never puts a digit of anti_sloppier_H on the

    Things like assuming the conclusion, or ignoring the facts.





    After all, you ARE proving you don't understand what a

    this is exploring the bounds of theory mate, not engineering a system >>>>>
    But, you forget that you need to actually PROVE what you claim.

    Try to prove that your enumeration is complete.

    Because machines that are eventually circular get into your mix,
    you can not show that you compute "fast" enough to get to any
    particuar machine, as there are an infinite number of machines that >>>>> can get to their kth output before this one, (even if they

    Ultimately, the problem is that the sorting that your "enumeration" >>>>> is based on creates a super-set of the Natural Numbers, which is
    uncountable, so you can't get to all the elements of that set.

    oh my god bro ... see you've gone down a fucking road bro. machines
    _cannot_ produce an uncountable infinity. avoiding that was _why_
    turing pursued proving the H paradox in the first place!

    Right, they can not actually produce it, but if the algorith would
    generate it they just will not finish.


    yet here you are trying to shut my down by casually claiming
    actually machines form uncountable infinities now???

    SETS of machines can.

    no, an infinite set of infinite sets of machines can be uncountable,

    but just an infinite set of machines cannot be uncountable, richard

    Right,


    the set of computable numbers is _not_ uncountable

    Right.


    nothing here is trying to compute an uncountable set

    Right, but computable is a proper subset of countable.

    When we look at the space being examined by your computation, it is
    looking at VARIOUS sets of machines. And this set that is built
    INTERNALLY, if expaded to its definition, would be uncountable.

    Thus, the EXTERNAL set of the problem might be countable, but the
    INTERNAL space being examined goes uncountable, and thus the comutation can't complete, even given countable infinite time.

    no idea what you mean by INTERNALLY uncountable and EXTERNALLY countable
    in regards to the any particular set of machines or their output...



    u bringing up uncountablity is just u ramming in a pathetic excuse for
    us failing to study this further for almost a century now...

    And the problem is that if the path only generated a countable number of possibilities, you could compute it.

    what are you talking about??? there are only a countable number of
    machines that could be added to the diagonal...

    are you suggesting there is a uncountable subset of machines???




    I guess your ignorance is approaching infinity.


    _that was what turing was trying to avoiding in the first place_ !!!

    No, he was pointing out that we can not get a result that depends on
    an uncountable infinity.

    I can easily write a program that "when it completes" would have
    produced and uncountable infinite set, it just can't ever get that far.

    The fact you don't understand this is part of your problem.

    even if we ( _hypothetically_ ) started with a full enumeration of

    be able to produce the diagonal via dovetailing ...

    But you aren't allowed to hypothisize about the impossible, except to
    prove it impossible.

    who's stopping me? you?? 🤣🤣🤣


    This is the fatal fallacy in all your logic.

    Of course if you start with a broken system where 1 == 0, you can
    prove all sorts of nonsense. Your world is just one that has exploded
    by the contradictions you assume are allowed.

    what? richard, the _same_ problem manifests with trying to dovetail
    _all_ machines as that with _just_ computable numbers ...

    it has nothing to do with supposed impossibility of effectively
    enumerating computable numbers, there's no connection ur just throwing arguments at the wall in total denial




    the _same_ problem would exist

    (note that _particular_ problem wouldn't exist with RTMs)

    Sure it would, you just are trying to define RTMs so that wrong
    answers can be right.



    which puts off the completion of the enumeration past the limits of
    finiteness.

    It dies getting stuck in its strawmen,




    but computable numbers should all have outputs to put on the
    diagonal, yet we cannot compute that,

    Yes, but apparently anti-sloppier-H isn't there.

    yes, paradoxically so ...

    So you AGREE that it is mising.

    Since anti-sloppier-H and sloppier-H are circularity equivalent,
    that means either sloppier-H misses a computational number, or it is
    circular and doesn't actually compute the full diagonal.




    this doesn't require specifically selection for them, they should >>>>>>> have outputs regardless of whether we select for them, and that >>>>>>> should be the outcome of simulating them

    But unfortunately doesn't actually work, as it keeps pushing off
    anti- sloppier-H, which while actually computable, beomes to
    "slow" to reach the top of the list.

    at least u understand the problem here

    Yes, I do.

    But apparently you don't, because you don't actually understand the
    requirements.




    therefore, regardless of whether we can enumerate a set of
    computable numbers or not, they cannot all be computably put on a >>>>>>> diagonal

    But, you don't haven't enumerated the complete set of computable
    numbers, and a diagonal of it, as anti-sloppier-H outputs its Kth >>>>>> digits in a finite number of steps if sloppier-H outputs its Kth
    digit in a finite number of steps, so both are generating
    computable numbers or not together, but anti-sloppier-H isn't in
    your enumeration.

    the question is: are u able to admit this is a problem? or just
    continually accept the paradoxical as valid because ur already so
    used to promoting the current consensus as valid?

    It is a RESOLVED problem, because your enumeration just isn't complete. >>>>
    IT is YOU that can't see the actual problem, because you are just
    ignorant of the basics of the theory you are trying to talk about.

    Your problem is you just assume you understand what you machine
    does, because you apparently don't understand how to handle things
    that can be infinite, because you like to assume they just do what
    you want.

    the answer is: not yet apparently

    And that is the problem, you don't understand the basics of logic, and
    thus everything you do is just based on assuming the absurd.









    if i were talking to someone capable of doing more than upholding >>>>>>> a bandwagon this would be an interesting fact

    But not a fact, as it has a flaw in that you assume rules that
    apply to finite sets apply to infinite sets.

    the property i'm really banking on is their countability vs being
    uncountable

    But since you get into the power-set (but letting your machine
    resort them by length of running time) you get into the uncountable.

    Again, your problem is you don't understand about infinity.

    Sloppier_H computes enough from the circular machines to need an
    uncountable number of steps to complete, and thus the diagonal as

    *infinite not uncountable... the steps of any actual computation are
    necessarily countable,

    And NEVER reaches its stated goal, even in that contable infinite
    number of steps.

    bro, if u think we've diagonalized _all_ machines and demonstrated an uncountable infinite being involved ....

    _that is exactly what turing was trying to prevent in §8_



    and circular machine do not impede dovetailing algo, that is a
    bizarre response and and just forgetful of the fact circular machines
    also do not impede using dovetailing to enumerate out halting machines

    Sure they do, as they push off the time needed to simulate the non-
    circulare machines until it never happens.

    no, anti_sloppier_H is defined to only produce an output for some K
    *after* sloppier_H produces an output for that K. even if
    anti_sloppier_H skipped everything but computable sequences,
    anti_sloppier_H still could never produce some K *after* sloppier_H does...



    described isn't a computable number, only the diagonal of the
    PARTIAL enumeration of the machine that it gets to the output of is.





    Thus, your diagonal is just another of your Unicorns.


    doesn't exist, as if you try to generate the grid of running >>>>>>>>>> all machines as enumerated doesh't always reach the diagonal. >>>>>>>>>
    that's fine, the sloppier_H diagonal does not care...

    Sure it does, because otherwise it isn't a diagonal.


    but all the computable numbers _should_ reach the diagonal, >>>>>>>>> because they _all_ produce an infinite sequence...

    Right, and that diagonal never include the results of the
    properly built anti_sloppier_H.

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H is exactly the same code as sloppier_H >>>>>>>> (including the number checked) except it outputs the reversed >>>>>>>> digit.

    Thus, if sloppier_H continues to run and produce output, so does >>>>>>>> anti_sloppier_H


    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation, >>>>>>>>> given we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't >>>>>>>>> happen

    Right, but it misses some, like anti_sloppier_H.

    which means the fact some are missed is an independent facet of >>>>>>> the enumeration

    But, then the enumeration CAN'T BE COMPLETE.

    the enumeration is it produced from _IS COMPLETE_

    No it isn't.

    The enumeratio of MACHINES that it starts from is complete.

    yes it starts with a full enumeration of all machines, including all
    computable numbers, and is still unable to produce a diagonal that
    includes all computable numbers despite them all having enough digits
    to be on the diagonal

    Because determining which machines are non-circular is non-
    computatable, in it spends too much time simulating machines that will
    never produce a result.

    ...this doesn't decide what machines are non-circular, as it will mix in circular machines onto the diagonal...

    ur just making up wild claims rick


    The problem is that if a given non-circular machine (m) takes N(k)
    steps to compute its kth digit, it won't be used to simulate that
    digit for output unless there are less than k machines in process that
    have reached that point in the m+N(k) machines that are in the running.

    There exists enough circular machines fast enough, and some non-
    circular machines slow enough, that the non-circular machine never
    gets output.

    Try to prove otherwise!

    no, anti_sloppier_H is defined to only produce an output for some K
    *after* sloppier_H produces an output for that K. even if
    anti_sloppier_H skipped everything but computable sequences,
    anti_sloppier_H still could never produce some K *after* sloppier_H does...


    After all, I have shown a machine that is in that situtation, at least
    if your sloppier-H actually produces a computable number becausse it
    is non-circular (my anti-sloppier-H). It produces its k'th digit in
    exactly the same number of steps as the sloppier-H it was modeled
    after, but

    no richard, for each cycle it must simulate all of sloppier_H + extra
    steps for anti_sloppier_H

    clearly never gets output, because it is always beaten to the line by
    other machines.



    The enumeration that the diagonal is defined to be computed of is
    not, as you claim it need to get to a machine for every computable
    number.



    The problem is that the progress that sloppier-H makes gets slower >>>>>> and slower as the infinite number of circular machines get added
    to the set of machines being simulated to find the one that makes >>>>>> the next digit, and thus the number of steps that sloppier-H needs >>>>>> to perform grows, and that sum becomes a divergent sum that
    doesn't converge, and thus it never actually gets to anti-sloppier-H. >>>>>
    i'm aware of the problem that given an enumeration which certainly
    includes _all_ computable sequences, we cannot seem to actually
    form a diagonal with that which includes _all_ computable sequences

    We can PRODUCE such a diagonal, but not computationally.

    if u can't write me down the diagonal, i can't agree u "PRODUCED" it

    Then you dom't understand what the words mean and how the axiom of
    choice works.

    that's fine. u keep boasting about producing something that results in
    no actual product and i'll just keep staring blankly at how stupid a
    claim that is


    Since the diagonal in infinite in length, it can't be written down, so
    to you logic, it can't exist.

    you can't write down any amount of it, as u have no method to





    therefor even if given an enumeration which includes _only_ _all_
    computable numbers, we should not expect to be able to use that to
    produce a diagonal which includes _all_ computable sequences...

    What are you considering the difference between a "Computable
    Number" and a "Computable Sequence"?

    | A sequence is said to be computable if it can be computed
    | by a circle-free machine. A number is computable if it
    | differs by an integer from the number computed by a
    | circle-free machine

    Where do you get that definition of a computable number, that it
    DIFFERS from a number computed by a circle-free machine?

    the same source i always quote: /on computable numbers/ richard


    He says earlier that:
    According to my definition, a number is computable if its decimal can be written down by a machine.

    and:

    We have said that the computable numbers are those whose decimals are calculable by finite means.

    and:

    Some of the symbols written down will form the sequence of figures which
    is the decimal of the real number which is being computed.

    and:

    The real number whose expression as a binary decimal is
    obtained by prefacing this sequence by a decimal point is called the
    number computed by the machine.

    All of these show that he means that what he is talking about as a
    computable number is a numbers whose representation can be generated as
    a computable sequence.

    He seems to be refering to the idea her that if 0.abcdefghighklmopqurstuvwxyz... is a computable number from directly interpreting a computable sequence then 1.abcdefghighklmopqurstuvwxyz...
    and 2.abcdefghighklmopqurstuvwxyz... and so on would also be computable numbers.

    Thus, we can split a "computable numbers" into a finite length integer
    part and then an infinite length fractional part.

    Thus, a set of all computable numbers WILL include all computable
    sequences (many times) as the fractional part of all the numbers.






    Note, we can PRODUCE an enumeration of all computable numbers, under
    the

    u can "DEFINE" it i guess, i can't agree u can actually PRODUCE it as
    show me a production of it ... as u can't actually write it down
    without a method to compute it

    Which shows the hole in your logic.

    what hole is that?

    You dpn't understand what the words mean. Production doesn't mean
    writing, as in fact, you can't write ANY of the computable numbers, as
    they are BY DEFINITION infinitely long.





    i'm pretty whatever about the axiom of choice


    It seems you are pretty "whatever" abput logical thinking in general.


    axiom of choice, but we can not GIVE that to a machine, as that
    enumeration isn't finite or computable,


    no?




    And without all the numbers, it isn't COMPLETE, and thus
    uninteresting.

    not all machines even produce output, so ofc trying to compute a >>>>>>> diagonal across all machines can include all machines ...

    Right, which is why we CAN compute an enumeration of all machines >>>>>> but not the diagonal generated by them.


    but all computable numbers do have outputs for all K, so they
    should be includable in attempting to compute a diagonal across >>>>>>> all machines

    The problem is that you are NOT making an enumeration of ALL
    machines, but only machines that reach the diagonal when sorted by >>>>>> your criteria.

    Where we sort the machines this way, we create a super-set of the

    superset??? to create this we enumerated out and simulate _all_
    machine, there is _no_ superset of that (which consists of only
    machines)...

    Sure there is, as you keep on changing the ORDER of the machines as
    you investigate.


    machines, and thus get to an uncountable infinity, so we can't
    enumerate

    BRO, what are you talking about???

    You don't understand an uncountable infinity?

    honestly bro u just fucking backing urself into a corner by
    completely misapplying basic number theory

    Try to show me wrong.

    oh my fucking god bro... ur gunna double down on this??? classic rick...

    So, you admit you can't.

    Your problem is you just don't understand how logic work.






    machine enumeration _ONLY_ form countable infinities, forming an
    uncountable infinity with machines is diagonalizing them which is a >>>>> _contradiction_

    Right, WHEN YOU ENUMERATE THEM, and don't suffle them.

    Your code keeps on updating the "set of machines" it is looking at,

    each set of machines it looks at, for any given cycle, is _finite_,
    as each cycle of the dovetailing algo is and must be _finite_ ...

    you cannot create an uncountable set of sets using only finite length
    sets of finite objects (like machines/natural number), richard

    But the set your goal is trying to compute IS, and that is why you can
    never produce it.


    this is basic number theory

    No, you are just showing why you can't count the uncountable infinity.

    That exact same arguement occurs in any attempt to enumerate an
    uncountable infinity, you always only have a finite set of things under

    are you suggesting that we've diagonalized the set of all output sets, showing it to be an uncountable infinity?

    No, the problem is that to talk about the "diagonal" you have to talk
    about what it is the diagonal OF, and if you try to say that the listing includes ALL computable numbers, you are wrong.

    You can claim to write a program that enumerate all real numbers using
    some pattern, and try to claim that it WILL eventually reach all
    thenumbers, even though it is an uncountable infinity, and your machine
    might continue to spit out digits, so by your argument the reals are countable.

    The problem is that for an actual computable enumeration, we can pick
    ANY member of the list, and find the FINITE value which is the position
    in the enumeration, but you can't do that with yours.

    The problem with the enumeration that sloppier_H works on that value
    can't be computed except by finding your machine in the list.


    consideration at the time, you just never get to anywhere near the end.


    and _no_ just because each machine may produce an infinite set of
    output does not turing this into an uncountable situation... like any
    given computable sequence, the entire output set is equatable with
    the /finite length/ machine that produced it, so therefor sets of
    output sets will not produce countability issues anymore than sets of
    the machines which produce them will

    Because countable infinity can be counted.

    bro, are you literally contradicting urself one sentence down by
    agreeing that the set of all output sets is a countable infinity???

    What is the contradiction?

    When we COUNT (and not via computing) we can use the axiom of chioce to generate the list, and then count them.

    When we try to effectively enumerate them, we need to computationally
    find each element, which takes too long.

    You don't seem to understand the difference between Countable, and
    computable, which is like the difference between the moderen definition
    of enumerate, and effectively enumerate.



    If we have an O(1) method of finding the "next" machine in sequence, we

    this has nothing to do with big O and certainly does not need to be O(1) 🤣🤣🤣

    Sure it does, but somewhat indirectly. The problem is that when we are
    dealing with infinite output, a method based on an O(1) algorithm for enumeration might converge, while slower methods might not.


    can compute the number of steps needed to find the Kth digit of the
    Nth number, and it will be finite.

    Because YOUR method of computing the diagonal doesn't follow that
    method, since your selecting isn't O(1), it turns out that to compute
    how many steps it takes to do that same thing by our method is no
    longer a bounded number and thus you haven't actually enumerated the
    system.

    huh this brings up another question in my mind:

    can we enumerate _all_ the output from _all_ the machines???

    Nope. The problem is while we can effectively enumerate all the
    machines, we can not effective compute the kth digit output by an
    arbitrary machine, as it might not get that far (if it becomes
    circular), and we can't universally determine that fact.

    And you can't use your intertwining system, as that would fix the order
    of the enumeration as soon as you start to output a given machine, and
    thus you can't delay it later. And, you can't hold off until a given
    machine "finishes" as this class of machine never "finishes" but just continually outputs numbers.




    which gets enough different sets to reach something of the same
    cardinaltiy of the power set.


    it.

    Of course, uncountable infinities doen't follow the logic that you >>>>>> want to try to think with.

    BRO, LOOK WHAT UR WRITING!

    you've gone off the fucking deep end claiming that machines, which
    are bijectable with natural nubmers, form _uncountable
    infinities_ ... that's a _contradiction_ dude!

    Right, the MACHINES are bijectable, but you don't just simply
    process them.

    After all, the set of the mappings of the Natural Numbers to 0 or 1
    is an uncountable set.

    the set of *all* mappings sure, but not necessarily all subsets of
    that, obviously...

    Not ALL, but some. Your problem is you need to try to show that the
    one you are working with isn't one of them, while I have shown it is
    by the existance of anti-sloppier-H, which is a computable number not
    in the set (that is defined to need to include it) if the subset you
    are trying to generate wasn't.


    the set of all computable mappings obviously isn't uncountable

    Right, but that isn't the set you are working with.

    uhhh... yes it is? i'm only working with the outputs of machines, and if
    it was output by a machine obviously it was a computable mapping...

    But you said your defined set included ALL computable numbers, but your
    actual set doesn't.

    If you admit that your set doesn't include all computable numbers, it is
    no longer actually related to the problem of effectively enumerating the computable numbers.







    my god, this fucking group???

    what the fuck are you all smoking???

    IT seems YOU are the one smoking something, as you refuse to
    understand the problems you are trying to just ignore.


    why are others just letting u making wild-ass claims like that???

    ... the whole _point_ of §8 from /on computable numbers/ is that we >>>>> _cannot_ be able to prove machines produce an uncountable infinity ... >>>>
    Where do you get that from?

    The point is that we can not in finite steps decide if a given
    machine is circular or not,

    And we can not produce a machine that computationally enumerates the
    compuational numbers or the non-circular machines.

    Where do you see him talking about anything about "countability".

    literally the first sentence of §8:

    | It may be thought that arguments which prove that the
    | real numbers are not enumerable would also prove that
    | the computable numbers and sequences cannot be enumerable

    Which shows that he isn't using a counting arguement, because he is
    showing that isn't applicable.

    Note, you have to watch out on the meaning of the words, as Turing
    uses "enumerable" here to mean what we now call effectively
    enumerable, to mean an enumeration that is computable.

    no, it is specifically mentioning "arguments which prove that real
    numbers are not enumerable" which is a reference to cantor's
    diagonlization argument proving real numbers aren't enumerable/countable
    vs natural numbers


    Yes, sometimes he uses it that way, but he also uses it with (sometimes implied) qualification by terms like "by finite means" or similar words,
    and it is THIS version that he points can't be done.


    By THAT definition, the computable numbers are not enumerable, even

    it's not by "THAT" definition. turing refers to "THAT" as "computability":

     | In a recent paper Alonzo Church has introduced an idea of
     | "effective calculability", which is equivalent to my "computability",
     | but is very differently defined. Church also reaches similar
     | conclusions about the Entscheidungsproblem. The proof of equivalence
     | between "computability" and "effective calculability" is outlined in
     | an appendix to the present paper


    But then he talks about:
    It would be true if we could enumerate the computable sequences by
    finite means,

    (In talking about how to compute the diagonal from the enumeration)


    Note, he points out that the computable numbers *ARE* "enumerable" but
    not enumeratable by finite means, and in the rest of the paper he is
    talking about this, computing such an enumeration by "finite means" (or equivalently by a program)

    So, he never says that the computable numbers can't be "enumerated" in
    the general sense, only that they can't be enumerated by finite means,
    which allows for the diagonal to not be computable.



    though they can by put into a bijection with the Natural Numbers, and
    are thus a countable infinity.


    the whole point of the H paradox was to prevent a diagonalization
    proof on computable numbers that would show them to be not
    enumerable, more commonly now known as uncountable ...

    Which is a wrong statement as I just explained.

    There are only a countable number of machines, and just by bi-jection
    they must be enumerable by your definition, but that enumeration is
    not what we now call effective, so isn't what Turing was calling
    enumerable.


    so you casually throwing uncountability in regards to computing a
    _single set_ of machines is just mindbogglingly detached from even
    turing's proof, which is crazy because ur trying to defend his proof
    bro,

    Because in his language, enumerating and being countable are different
    things.

    no they aren't

    They are when the implication is by finite means, or by a program.






    _and fucking nonsense like this is exactly why i'm pursuing this
    research_

    And the "fucking nonsense" is based on you just failing to learn what
    things mean in their context.


    the fucking tards that have been handling this thus far are
    incredibly lacking in their critical thinking and coherency
    faculties, and have now ended up attacking me with the very same
    ideas turing was trying to keep from being applied to computable
    numbers, _IN THE FIRST PLACE_

    No, YOU lack the critical thinking ability to understand what is being
    discussed, as you don't understand the need to understand the language
    as it is being used.

    The fact that your logic depends on the need to assume false
    statements just shows how fucked up your brain is. Of course, you
    don't see the falseness of the statements, as you just don't
    understand what they actually mean because you don't understand the
    language being used.

    You blaim the great minds of being stupid because they aren't using
    words the way you want them to be, but the way they were defined at
    the time they wrote their papers.





    While the sum of the number of steps needed to get to the Kth
    output of anti-sloppier-H is finite, when you multiply each
    element by the number of machines included by sloppier-H to
    compute that, the sum doesn't converge, thus your "enumeration"
    puts anti- sloppier-H at an uncountable value in the enumeration
    even though the machine itself is circle-free.

    i'm sorry u fallacy wot now?

    Your logic is just based on fallacies.

    Things like assuming the conclusion, or ignoring the facts.





    After all, you ARE proving you don't understand what a
    requirement is.

    this is exploring the bounds of theory mate, not engineering a
    system

    But, you forget that you need to actually PROVE what you claim.

    Try to prove that your enumeration is complete.

    Because machines that are eventually circular get into your mix,
    you can not show that you compute "fast" enough to get to any
    particuar machine, as there are an infinite number of machines
    that can get to their kth output before this one, (even if they
    eventually become circular and stop outputing).

    Ultimately, the problem is that the sorting that your
    "enumeration" is based on creates a super-set of the Natural
    Numbers, which is uncountable, so you can't get to all the
    elements of that set.

    oh my god bro ... see you've gone down a fucking road bro. machines >>>>> _cannot_ produce an uncountable infinity. avoiding that was _why_
    turing pursued proving the H paradox in the first place!

    Right, they can not actually produce it, but if the algorith would
    generate it they just will not finish.


    yet here you are trying to shut my down by casually claiming
    actually machines form uncountable infinities now???

    SETS of machines can.

    no, an infinite set of infinite sets of machines can be uncountable,

    but just an infinite set of machines cannot be uncountable, richard

    Right,


    the set of computable numbers is _not_ uncountable

    Right.


    nothing here is trying to compute an uncountable set

    Right, but computable is a proper subset of countable.

    When we look at the space being examined by your computation, it is
    looking at VARIOUS sets of machines. And this set that is built
    INTERNALLY, if expaded to its definition, would be uncountable.

    Thus, the EXTERNAL set of the problem might be countable, but the
    INTERNAL space being examined goes uncountable, and thus the
    comutation can't complete, even given countable infinite time.

    no idea what you mean by INTERNALLY uncountable and EXTERNALLY countable
    in regards to the any particular set of machines or their output...

    The set of machines in the definition of the program is a countable
    infinite set.

    But, in the processing of that set, the program tries to compute results
    based on different assortments of these sets, and in doing so, creates
    an uncountable subset of the power-set of that set.

    This happens in your program as there is no upper bound to the number
    machines that are being simulated in parrallel to a given machine, not
    even as a function of a given machines number, or the digit number being looked at.




    u bringing up uncountablity is just u ramming in a pathetic excuse
    for us failing to study this further for almost a century now...

    And the problem is that if the path only generated a countable number
    of possibilities, you could compute it.

    what are you talking about??? there are only a countable number of
    machines that could be added to the diagonal...

    Right, but since for each digit produced, there isn't a bound for the
    number of steps needed to compute it, the number of steps needed to
    "compute" the results is unbounded, and thus the results are not computable.

    Bounded * countable infinite -> countable infinite

    Unbounded * countable infinite -> uncountable infinite.


    are you suggesting there is a uncountable subset of machines???

    YES.

    The power-set, the set of all possible subsets of the machines, is uncountable.

    There are sub-sets of that power-set that are also uncountable.

    Since, to evaluate each digit of the results can require an unbounded
    number of machines to be looked at to get that digit, you end up needing
    to evaluate an uncountable number of subsets of machines, which makes
    your result take uncountable number of steps, and thus not actually computable.

    Your problem is you aren't looking at *A* subset of machines, but a set
    of subsets of machines, and THAT can be uncountable in number.





    I guess your ignorance is approaching infinity.


    _that was what turing was trying to avoiding in the first place_ !!!

    No, he was pointing out that we can not get a result that depends on
    an uncountable infinity.

    I can easily write a program that "when it completes" would have
    produced and uncountable infinite set, it just can't ever get that far. >>>>

    yes, paradoxically so ...

    So you AGREE that it is mising.

    Since anti-sloppier-H and sloppier-H are circularity equivalent,
    that means either sloppier-H misses a computational number, or it
    is circular and doesn't actually compute the full diagonal.

    It is a RESOLVED problem, because your enumeration just isn't

    IT is YOU that can't see the actual problem, because you are just

    Your problem is you just assume you understand what you machine
    does, because you apparently don't understand how to handle things
    that can be infinite, because you like to assume they just do what
    you want.

    the answer is: not yet apparently

    And that is the problem, you don't understand the basics of logic,
    and thus everything you do is just based on assuming the absurd.









    if i were talking to someone capable of doing more than
    upholding a bandwagon this would be an interesting fact

    But not a fact, as it has a flaw in that you assume rules that
    apply to finite sets apply to infinite sets.

    the property i'm really banking on is their countability vs being >>>>>> uncountable

    But since you get into the power-set (but letting your machine
    resort them by length of running time) you get into the uncountable. >>>>>
    Again, your problem is you don't understand about infinity.

    Sloppier_H computes enough from the circular machines to need an
    uncountable number of steps to complete, and thus the diagonal as

    *infinite not uncountable... the steps of any actual computation are
    necessarily countable,

    And NEVER reaches its stated goal, even in that contable infinite
    number of steps.

    bro, if u think we've diagonalized _all_ machines and demonstrated an
    uncountable infinite being involved ....

    _that is exactly what turing was trying to prevent in §8_



    and circular machine do not impede dovetailing algo, that is a
    bizarre response and and just forgetful of the fact circular
    machines also do not impede using dovetailing to enumerate out
    halting machines

    Sure they do, as they push off the time needed to simulate the non-
    circulare machines until it never happens.

    no, anti_sloppier_H is defined to only produce an output for some K
    *after* sloppier_H produces an output for that K. even if
    anti_sloppier_H skipped everything but computable sequences,
    anti_sloppier_H still could never produce some K *after* sloppier_H
    does...



    described isn't a computable number, only the diagonal of the

    Thus, your diagonal is just another of your Unicorns.

    Sure it does, because otherwise it isn't a diagonal.

    Right, and that diagonal never include the results of the
    properly built anti_sloppier_H.

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H is exactly the same code as
    sloppier_H (including the number checked) except it outputs the >>>>>>>>> reversed digit.

    so they _should_ end up on the attempted diagonal computation, >>>>>>>>>> given we're simulating all of them in parallel, but that can't >>>>>>>>>> happen

    Right, but it misses some, like anti_sloppier_H.

    which means the fact some are missed is an independent facet of >>>>>>>> the enumeration

    But, then the enumeration CAN'T BE COMPLETE.

    the enumeration is it produced from _IS COMPLETE_

    No it isn't.

    The enumeratio of MACHINES that it starts from is complete.

    yes it starts with a full enumeration of all machines, including all
    computable numbers, and is still unable to produce a diagonal that
    includes all computable numbers despite them all having enough
    digits to be on the diagonal

    Because determining which machines are non-circular is non-
    computatable, in it spends too much time simulating machines that
    will never produce a result.

    ...this doesn't decide what machines are non-circular, as it will mix
    in circular machines onto the diagonal...

    ur just making up wild claims rick


    The problem is that if a given non-circular machine (m) takes N(k)
    steps to compute its kth digit, it won't be used to simulate that
    digit for output unless there are less than k machines in process
    that have reached that point in the m+N(k) machines that are in the
    running.

    There exists enough circular machines fast enough, and some non-
    circular machines slow enough, that the non-circular machine never
    gets output.

    Try to prove otherwise!

    no, anti_sloppier_H is defined to only produce an output for some K
    *after* sloppier_H produces an output for that K. even if
    anti_sloppier_H skipped everything but computable sequences,
    anti_sloppier_H still could never produce some K *after* sloppier_H
    does...


    After all, I have shown a machine that is in that situtation, at
    least if your sloppier-H actually produces a computable number
    becausse it is non-circular (my anti-sloppier-H). It produces its
    k'th digit in exactly the same number of steps as the sloppier-H it
    was modeled after, but

    no richard, for each cycle it must simulate all of sloppier_H + extra
    steps for anti_sloppier_H

    clearly never gets output, because it is always beaten to the line by
    other machines.



    The enumeration that the diagonal is defined to be computed of is
    not, as you claim it need to get to a machine for every computable
    number.



    The problem is that the progress that sloppier-H makes gets
    slower and slower as the infinite number of circular machines get >>>>>>> added to the set of machines being simulated to find the one that >>>>>>> makes the next digit, and thus the number of steps that sloppier- >>>>>>> H needs to perform grows, and that sum becomes a divergent sum
    that doesn't converge, and thus it never actually gets to anti- >>>>>>> sloppier-H.

    i'm aware of the problem that given an enumeration which certainly >>>>>> includes _all_ computable sequences, we cannot seem to actually
    form a diagonal with that which includes _all_ computable sequences >>>>>
    We can PRODUCE such a diagonal, but not computationally.

    if u can't write me down the diagonal, i can't agree u "PRODUCED" it

    Then you dom't understand what the words mean and how the axiom of
    choice works.

    that's fine. u keep boasting about producing something that results in
    no actual product and i'll just keep staring blankly at how stupid a
    claim that is


    Since the diagonal in infinite in length, it can't be written down,
    so to you logic, it can't exist.

    you can't write down any amount of it, as u have no method to





    therefor even if given an enumeration which includes _only_ _all_ >>>>>> computable numbers, we should not expect to be able to use that to >>>>>> produce a diagonal which includes _all_ computable sequences...

    What are you considering the difference between a "Computable
    Number" and a "Computable Sequence"?

    | A sequence is said to be computable if it can be computed
    | by a circle-free machine. A number is computable if it
    | differs by an integer from the number computed by a
    | circle-free machine

    Where do you get that definition of a computable number, that it
    DIFFERS from a number computed by a circle-free machine?

    the same source i always quote: /on computable numbers/ richard


    He says earlier that:
    According to my definition, a number is computable if its decimal can be written down by a machine.

    and:

    We have said that the computable numbers are those whose decimals are calculable by finite means.

    and:

    Some of the symbols written down will form the sequence of figures which
    is the decimal of the real number which is being computed.

    and:

    The real number whose expression as a binary decimal is
    obtained by prefacing this sequence by a decimal point is called the
    number computed by the machine.

    All of these show that he means that what he is talking about as a computable number is a numbers whose representation can be generated as
    a computable sequence.

    He seems to be refering to the idea her that if 0.abcdefghighklmopqurstuvwxyz... is a computable number from directly interpreting a computable sequence then 1.abcdefghighklmopqurstuvwxyz...
    and 2.abcdefghighklmopqurstuvwxyz... and so on would also be computable numbers.

    Thus, we can split a "computable numbers" into a finite length integer
    part and then an infinite length fractional part.

    Thus, a set of all computable numbers WILL include all computable
    sequences (many times) as the fractional part of all the numbers.






    Note, we can PRODUCE an enumeration of all computable numbers,
    under the

    u can "DEFINE" it i guess, i can't agree u can actually PRODUCE it
    as show me a production of it ... as u can't actually write it down
    without a method to compute it

    Which shows the hole in your logic.

    what hole is that?

    You dpn't understand what the words mean. Production doesn't mean
    writing, as in fact, you can't write ANY of the computable numbers, as

    wrong

    they are BY DEFINITION infinitely long.

    you can't write down pi ehh dick??? not that capable eh???

    i certainly can. i can in fact write down pi to _any_ degree of finite precision you might desire, in finite time, since the computation that produces the number is infinitely precise.

    you can *produce* a computable number to any degree of precision based
    on how much time you want to spend






    i'm pretty whatever about the axiom of choice


    It seems you are pretty "whatever" abput logical thinking in general.


    axiom of choice, but we can not GIVE that to a machine, as that
    enumeration isn't finite or computable,


    no?




    And without all the numbers, it isn't COMPLETE, and thus
    uninteresting.

    Try to show me wrong.

    oh my fucking god bro... ur gunna double down on this??? classic rick...

    So, you admit you can't.

    Your problem is you just don't understand how logic work.

    i can't wait to work with people who are less of total cunt than you







    machine enumeration _ONLY_ form countable infinities, forming an
    uncountable infinity with machines is diagonalizing them which is >>>>>> a _contradiction_

    Right, WHEN YOU ENUMERATE THEM, and don't suffle them.

    Your code keeps on updating the "set of machines" it is looking at,

    each set of machines it looks at, for any given cycle, is _finite_,
    as each cycle of the dovetailing algo is and must be _finite_ ...

    you cannot create an uncountable set of sets using only finite
    length sets of finite objects (like machines/natural number), richard

    But the set your goal is trying to compute IS, and that is why you
    can never produce it.


    this is basic number theory

    No, you are just showing why you can't count the uncountable infinity.

    That exact same arguement occurs in any attempt to enumerate an
    uncountable infinity, you always only have a finite set of things under

    are you suggesting that we've diagonalized the set of all output sets,
    showing it to be an uncountable infinity?

    No, the problem is that to talk about the "diagonal" you have to talk
    about what it is the diagonal OF, and if you try to say that the listing includes ALL computable numbers, you are wrong.

    there can't be "uncountably" many machines in a set of machines ... that uncountability can only happen if trying to enumerate various infinite
    sets of machines ... nothing is trying to do that, rick

    if i tried to enumerate all possible infinite sets of machines you might
    have a fucking point, but i'm not fucking doing that rick,

    i'm trying to compute just a *set of machine*, _not_ a set of sets of machines...


    You can claim to write a program that enumerate all real numbers using
    some pattern, and try to claim that it WILL eventually reach all
    thenumbers, even though it is an uncountable infinity, and your machine might continue to spit out digits, so by your argument the reals are countable.

    The problem is that for an actual computable enumeration, we can pick
    ANY member of the list, and find the FINITE value which is the position
    in the enumeration, but you can't do that with yours.

    The problem with the enumeration that sloppier_H works on that value
    can't be computed except by finding your machine in the list.


    consideration at the time, you just never get to anywhere near the end.


    and _no_ just because each machine may produce an infinite set of
    output does not turing this into an uncountable situation... like
    any given computable sequence, the entire output set is equatable
    with the /finite length/ machine that produced it, so therefor sets
    of output sets will not produce countability issues anymore than
    sets of the machines which produce them will

    Because countable infinity can be counted.

    bro, are you literally contradicting urself one sentence down by
    agreeing that the set of all output sets is a countable infinity???

    What is the contradiction?

    When we COUNT (and not via computing) we can use the axiom of chioce to generate the list, and then count them.

    When we try to effectively enumerate them, we need to computationally
    find each element, which takes too long.

    You don't seem to understand the difference between Countable, and computable, which is like the difference between the moderen definition
    of enumerate, and effectively enumerate.



    If we have an O(1) method of finding the "next" machine in sequence, we

    this has nothing to do with big O and certainly does not need to be
    O(1) 🤣🤣🤣

    Sure it does, but somewhat indirectly. The problem is that when we are

    wrong

    dealing with infinite output, a method based on an O(1) algorithm for enumeration might converge, while slower methods might not.


    can compute the number of steps needed to find the Kth digit of the
    Nth number, and it will be finite.

    Because YOUR method of computing the diagonal doesn't follow that
    method, since your selecting isn't O(1), it turns out that to compute
    how many steps it takes to do that same thing by our method is no
    longer a bounded number and thus you haven't actually enumerated the
    system.

    huh this brings up another question in my mind:

    can we enumerate _all_ the output from _all_ the machines???

    Nope. The problem is while we can effectively enumerate all the

    it's just so amazing how persistently unhelpful you are,

    because we certainly can enumerate _all_ out from _all_ machines:

    for the first cycle we will run the first machine one step. for the
    second cycle we will run the first and second machines for one step. for
    the third cycle will run the first three, and so on. anytime an output
    is generated after any step (written to an F-cell), we will immediately
    add it to the output of the dovetailing process thereby concatenating
    all the output, of all machines into a single output

    you can try writing something that contradicts this, but you can't
    actually do it (i tried)

    the set of *all* output from *all* machines is 100% computably enumerable...

    with sloppier_H i'm only trying to add a single digit from every output possible across in a form of diagonal, that's the part that can't be done

    if you're trying to suggest this diagonal is "uncountable" (totally
    fucking absurd)m, that diagonal is only a selected subset of this fully enumerated set of _all_ output from _all machine, so ur trying to
    suggest an uncountable "diagonal" set is a "subset" of the countable set
    of _all_ output ...

    i'm getting really tired of digging thru ur crap rick, this whole
    process sucks tbh. at least i have a goal, no idea wtf ur wasting ur
    life on tbh

    machines, we can not effective compute the kth digit output by an
    arbitrary machine, as it might not get that far (if it becomes
    circular), and we can't universally determine that fact.

    And you can't use your intertwining system, as that would fix the order
    of the enumeration as soon as you start to output a given machine, and
    thus you can't delay it later. And, you can't hold off until a given
    machine "finishes" as this class of machine never "finishes" but just continually outputs numbers.




    which gets enough different sets to reach something of the same
    cardinaltiy of the power set.


    it.

    Of course, uncountable infinities doen't follow the logic that
    you want to try to think with.

    BRO, LOOK WHAT UR WRITING!

    you've gone off the fucking deep end claiming that machines, which >>>>>> are bijectable with natural nubmers, form _uncountable
    infinities_ ... that's a _contradiction_ dude!

    Right, the MACHINES are bijectable, but you don't just simply
    process them.

    After all, the set of the mappings of the Natural Numbers to 0 or 1 >>>>> is an uncountable set.

    the set of *all* mappings sure, but not necessarily all subsets of
    that, obviously...

    Not ALL, but some. Your problem is you need to try to show that the
    one you are working with isn't one of them, while I have shown it is
    by the existance of anti-sloppier-H, which is a computable number not
    in the set (that is defined to need to include it) if the subset you
    are trying to generate wasn't.


    the set of all computable mappings obviously isn't uncountable

    Right, but that isn't the set you are working with.

    uhhh... yes it is? i'm only working with the outputs of machines, and
    if it was output by a machine obviously it was a computable mapping...

    But you said your defined set included ALL computable numbers, but your actual set doesn't.

    If you admit that your set doesn't include all computable numbers, it is
    no longer actually related to the problem of effectively enumerating the computable numbers.







    my god, this fucking group???

    what the fuck are you all smoking???

    IT seems YOU are the one smoking something, as you refuse to
    understand the problems you are trying to just ignore.


    why are others just letting u making wild-ass claims like that???

    ... the whole _point_ of §8 from /on computable numbers/ is that >>>>>> we _cannot_ be able to prove machines produce an uncountable
    infinity ...

    Where do you get that from?

    The point is that we can not in finite steps decide if a given
    machine is circular or not,

    And we can not produce a machine that computationally enumerates
    the compuational numbers or the non-circular machines.

    Where do you see him talking about anything about "countability".

    literally the first sentence of §8:

    | It may be thought that arguments which prove that the
    | real numbers are not enumerable would also prove that
    | the computable numbers and sequences cannot be enumerable

    Which shows that he isn't using a counting arguement, because he is
    showing that isn't applicable.

    Note, you have to watch out on the meaning of the words, as Turing
    uses "enumerable" here to mean what we now call effectively
    enumerable, to mean an enumeration that is computable.

    no, it is specifically mentioning "arguments which prove that real
    numbers are not enumerable" which is a reference to cantor's
    diagonlization argument proving real numbers aren't enumerable/
    countable vs natural numbers


    Yes, sometimes he uses it that way, but he also uses it with (sometimes implied) qualification by terms like "by finite means" or similar words,
    and it is THIS version that he points can't be done.


    By THAT definition, the computable numbers are not enumerable, even

    it's not by "THAT" definition. turing refers to "THAT" as
    "computability":

      | In a recent paper Alonzo Church has introduced an idea of
      | "effective calculability", which is equivalent to my "computability", >>   | but is very differently defined. Church also reaches similar
      | conclusions about the Entscheidungsproblem. The proof of equivalence >>   | between "computability" and "effective calculability" is outlined in >>   | an appendix to the present paper


    But then he talks about:
    It would be true if we could enumerate the computable sequences by
    finite means,

    (In talking about how to compute the diagonal from the enumeration)


    Note, he points out that the computable numbers *ARE* "enumerable" but
    not enumeratable by finite means, and in the rest of the paper he is
    talking about this, computing such an enumeration by "finite means" (or equivalently by a program)

    So, he never says that the computable numbers can't be "enumerated" in
    the general sense, only that they can't be enumerated by finite means,
    which allows for the diagonal to not be computable.



    though they can by put into a bijection with the Natural Numbers, and
    are thus a countable infinity.


    the whole point of the H paradox was to prevent a diagonalization
    proof on computable numbers that would show them to be not
    enumerable, more commonly now known as uncountable ...

    Which is a wrong statement as I just explained.

    There are only a countable number of machines, and just by bi-jection
    they must be enumerable by your definition, but that enumeration is
    not what we now call effective, so isn't what Turing was calling
    enumerable.


    so you casually throwing uncountability in regards to computing a
    _single set_ of machines is just mindbogglingly detached from even
    turing's proof, which is crazy because ur trying to defend his proof
    bro,

    Because in his language, enumerating and being countable are
    different things.

    no they aren't

    They are when the implication is by finite means, or by a program.





    _and fucking nonsense like this is exactly why i'm pursuing this
    research_

    And the "fucking nonsense" is based on you just failing to learn what
    things mean in their context.


    the fucking tards that have been handling this thus far are
    incredibly lacking in their critical thinking and coherency
    faculties, and have now ended up attacking me with the very same
    ideas turing was trying to keep from being applied to computable
    numbers, _IN THE FIRST PLACE_

    No, YOU lack the critical thinking ability to understand what is
    being discussed, as you don't understand the need to understand the
    language as it is being used.

    The fact that your logic depends on the need to assume false
    statements just shows how fucked up your brain is. Of course, you
    don't see the falseness of the statements, as you just don't
    understand what they actually mean because you don't understand the
    language being used.

    You blaim the great minds of being stupid because they aren't using
    words the way you want them to be, but the way they were defined at
    the time they wrote their papers.





    While the sum of the number of steps needed to get to the Kth
    output of anti-sloppier-H is finite, when you multiply each
    element by the number of machines included by sloppier-H to
    compute that, the sum doesn't converge, thus your "enumeration" >>>>>>> puts anti- sloppier-H at an uncountable value in the enumeration >>>>>>> even though the machine itself is circle-free.





    It seems you have a fundamental problem about thinking
    through the requirements, as "requirements" are just optional >>>>>>>>>>> ideas to you.



    clearly being able to enumerate a set of machines, does >>>>>>>>>>>> _not_ then imply one can certainly construct a diagonal >>>>>>>>>>>> across the computable numbers within that set

    Because the determination that a given machine create a >>>>>>>>>>> computable number is an uncomputable operation.

    What is so hard about that?

    that determination is _still_ not involved with the sloppier_H >>>>>>>>>> computation that i proposed

    And it never reaches ALL the numbers, because it keeps on
    pushing off when to get to anti_sloppier_H.

    Since sloppier_H never puts a digit of anti_sloppier_H on the >>>>>>>>> diagonal, anti_sloppier_H doesn't need to figure out what its >>>>>>>>> diagonal digit is.





    And, it seems you don't understand what I was talking about. >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Apparently you can't even understand the arguement, as "K" >>>>>>>>>>>>> isn't a VALUE output, but the id number of the row being >>>>>>>>>>>>> output, and the digit on that row being outputed.

    Your just implied that every row makes it to the diagonal, >>>>>>>>>>>>> as sloppier_H can generate the diagonal, which means that >>>>>>>>>>>>> anti_sloppier_H can't be in that enumeration, and thus >>>>>>>>>>>>> anti_sloppier_H can't get "stuck" on it trying to get there. >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    For sloppier_H to work, the Kth row need to compute at >>>>>>>>>>>>> least K digits, and thus any machine like turing's original >>>>>>>>>>>>> H that looks to see what it does can't be on the diagonal. >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    You fix the issue for sloppier_H with your reference to a >>>>>>>>>>>>> special number, but anti_sloppier_H won't do that, so >>>>>>>>>>>>> sloppier_H will never put it on the diagonal

    Remember, anti_sloppier_H uses the same "special self- >>>>>>>>>>>>> reference" number as sloppier_H, NOT its own, and thus it >>>>>>>>>>>>> WILL get the anti- diagonal that is the opposite of >>>>>>>>>>>>> sloppier_H, and won't get hung up on itself, since neither >>>>>>>>>>>>> did sloppier_H get hung up on anti_sloppier_H.

    Otherwise, you are just showing that you just refuse to >>>>>>>>>>>>> follow instructions, possible because you are just mentally >>>>>>>>>>>>> unable to do accurate work because "correct" isn't a word >>>>>>>>>>>>> you understand.

    y do u think i disagree with any of that?

    So, you agree with the statement that you just refuse to >>>>>>>>>>> follow instructions because you are mentally unable to do >>>>>>>>>>> accurate work becuae "correct" isn't a word you understand? >>>>>>>>>>>

    lol, talk about bad faith discussion dick

    But you agreed to it, at least in implication.

    Or, are you just admitting you are just a liar.

    my god dick, what is with the endless childish word games 🥱🥱🥱 >>>>>>>
    It seems that is just all you can do, since you don't understand >>>>>>> how to do actual logic, but just want to use fallacies.

    i'm sorry u fallacy wot now?

    Your logic is just based on fallacies.

    Things like assuming the conclusion, or ignoring the facts.





    After all, you ARE proving you don't understand what a
    requirement is.

    this is exploring the bounds of theory mate, not engineering a >>>>>>>> system

    But, you forget that you need to actually PROVE what you claim.

    Try to prove that your enumeration is complete.

    Because machines that are eventually circular get into your mix, >>>>>>> you can not show that you compute "fast" enough to get to any
    particuar machine, as there are an infinite number of machines
    that can get to their kth output before this one, (even if they >>>>>>> eventually become circular and stop outputing).

    Ultimately, the problem is that the sorting that your
    "enumeration" is based on creates a super-set of the Natural
    Numbers, which is uncountable, so you can't get to all the
    elements of that set.

    oh my god bro ... see you've gone down a fucking road bro.
    machines _cannot_ produce an uncountable infinity. avoiding that
    was _why_ turing pursued proving the H paradox in the first place!

    Right, they can not actually produce it, but if the algorith would
    generate it they just will not finish.


    yet here you are trying to shut my down by casually claiming
    actually machines form uncountable infinities now???

    SETS of machines can.

    no, an infinite set of infinite sets of machines can be uncountable,

    but just an infinite set of machines cannot be uncountable, richard

    Right,


    the set of computable numbers is _not_ uncountable

    Right.


    nothing here is trying to compute an uncountable set

    Right, but computable is a proper subset of countable.

    When we look at the space being examined by your computation, it is
    looking at VARIOUS sets of machines. And this set that is built
    INTERNALLY, if expaded to its definition, would be uncountable.

    Thus, the EXTERNAL set of the problem might be countable, but the
    INTERNAL space being examined goes uncountable, and thus the
    comutation can't complete, even given countable infinite time.

    no idea what you mean by INTERNALLY uncountable and EXTERNALLY
    countable in regards to the any particular set of machines or their
    output...

    The set of machines in the definition of the program is a countable
    infinite set.

    But, in the processing of that set, the program tries to compute results based on different assortments of these sets, and in doing so, creates
    an uncountable subset of the power-set of that set.

    total gibberish rick, complete detached from the runtimes of any of the Hs


    This happens in your program as there is no upper bound to the number machines that are being simulated in parrallel to a given machine, not
    even as a function of a given machines number, or the digit number being looked at.




    u bringing up uncountablity is just u ramming in a pathetic excuse
    for us failing to study this further for almost a century now...

    And the problem is that if the path only generated a countable number
    of possibilities, you could compute it.

    what are you talking about??? there are only a countable number of
    machines that could be added to the diagonal...

    Right, but since for each digit produced, there isn't a bound for the
    number of steps needed to compute it, the number of steps needed to "compute" the results is unbounded, and thus the results are not
    computable.

    Bounded * countable infinite -> countable infinite

    Unbounded * countable infinite -> uncountable infinite.


    are you suggesting there is a uncountable subset of machines???

    YES.

    ur such a confused old man, dick. we are only computing *one* set of
    machines with a diagonal, not "subsets of machines" or whatever the fuck gishgallop ur trying to shovel in


    The power-set, the set of all possible subsets of the machines, is uncountable.

    There are sub-sets of that power-set that are also uncountable.

    Since, to evaluate each digit of the results can require an unbounded
    number of machines to be looked at to get that digit, you end up needing
    to evaluate an uncountable number of subsets of machines, which makes
    your result take uncountable number of steps, and thus not actually computable.

    Your problem is you aren't looking at *A* subset of machines, but a set
    of subsets of machines, and THAT can be uncountable in number.





    I guess your ignorance is approaching infinity.


    _that was what turing was trying to avoiding in the first place_ !!! >>>>>
    No, he was pointing out that we can not get a result that depends
    on an uncountable infinity.

    I can easily write a program that "when it completes" would have
    produced and uncountable infinite set, it just can't ever get that
    far.

    The fact you don't understand this is part of your problem.











    In other words, for you 1 = 2 is just a fact of life. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    You need to stop smoking your fairy dust.

    Its ok to not to be able to compute something that >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> doesn't exist (like the diagonal of an enumeration that >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> includes circular machines) so there isn't a diagonal to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> compute.

    That is like the inability to compute an even prime >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> greater than 2 doesn't affect our ability to compute >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> other primes.



    All you are doing is showing your ignorance and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> stupidity.\

    My guess is you are not going to actually answer with a >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> real inconsistance, but just throw out a strawman, and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that is your modus operandi.
