    yeah i ran into the same problem,

    simulating the recursion with an action after the detection feeds back
    into making the detection invalid...

    it's a rather weird measurement paradox, like the measurement of the
    fact of infinite recursion gets invalidate by actions taken after the measurement itself happened

    how do we frame this as a certain contradiction?

    rick tried to dismiss it with the claim the simulating the machine with
    an external detector isn't the same as just running the machine...

    Not at all. It is perfectly correct within the whole PTS perspective.

    fact of infinite recursion gets invalidate by actions taken after the measurement itself happened


    No "paradox" has ever been anything besides undetected
    semantic incoherence. By dividing semantics from syntax
    (after the syllogism) using model theory this incoherence
    became invisible.

    how do we frame this as a certain contradiction?

    Technical experts in math, computation, logic and
    semantics view alternative foundations as blasphemy.

    But that is in error as the "well-founded justification tree" of a
    program is it execution path.

    The only way for DD to not have one, is for HHH to not generate one, and
    thus not be a program.

    There is nothing semantically unsound about a program doing the opposite
    of what another program, included as a subprogram, reports.

    That just makes the other program incorrect.

    If HHH is a actual program, and returns "FALSE" as it is asserting that
    it is not true that the DD described to it halts, as it thinks it is
    "not well founded" makes DD welll founded in behavior as it halts.

    Remember, the question of a halt decider is does its input represent a
    halting program or not. If the input is not a program, then it must
    respond false (as would a "proof-theoretic halt prover if the behavior
    is not well founded). There is no allowed answer for "not a valid input"
    as ALL inputs are "valid", and the only answer for inputs that are not representations of halting programs, even if this is because they are
    not actually representations of programs, is false/reject. There is not
    third answer allowed.

    And if HHH(DD) returns false, then DD() halts, and this *IS* a
    well-founded justification of the behavior of DD.

    The ONLY way that "false" is a correct answer is if DD isn't a program,
    which means that HHH can't be a program (as DD is definitely formed as a program from any HHH that is a program) and since halt deciders are
    required to be programs, you are just admitting that lied, or at least
    just don't understand what you are talking about.

    It seems, BOTH are true, as you pathologically lie out of a refusal to
    learn the meaning of what you talk about.

    Your problem is that with "machines" you can't make a decider that can't
    be incorporated into a valid input.

    There is a fundamental limitation of computation once this "recursion"
    becomes possible.

    Even with Oracle machines, as a level-N Oracle machine would need to be
    able to be given a level-H Oracle input, which we can show it can't handle.

    A level-N Oracle machine can only handle inputs based on at most
    level-N-1 Oracle machines.

    By this, A Maximal Power Computation (the Level-0 Oracle) can't handle a
    full maximal power computation input, and thus can't decide for *ALL*
    machine inputs.

    The moment that one switches from the notion of a halt
    decider to the fully coherent notion of a proof theoretic
    halting prover the halting problem counter-example input
    is rejected as not specifying a well-founded justification
    tree, thus a semantically incoherent input.

    The only other category of what is mistakenly called undecidable
    input are things that are outside of the body of knowledge such

    the problem is if u run the DD()

    As a proof theoretic halt prover DD is absolutely

    semantics.

    yeah i ran into the same problem,

    simulating the recursion with an action after the detection feeds >>>>>> back into making the detection invalid...

    it's a rather weird measurement paradox, like the measurement of
    the fact of infinite recursion gets invalidate by actions taken
    after the measurement itself happened

    how do we frame this as a certain contradiction?

    rick tried to dismiss it with the claim the simulating the machine >>>>>> with an external detector isn't the same as just running the
    machine...


    Your problem is that with "machines" you can't make a decider that
    can't be incorporated into a valid input.

    There is a fundamental limitation of computation once this
    "recursion" becomes possible.

    Even with Oracle machines, as a level-N Oracle machine would need
    to be able to be given a level-H Oracle input, which we can show it >>>>> can't handle.

    A level-N Oracle machine can only handle inputs based on at most
    level-N-1 Oracle machines.

    By this, A Maximal Power Computation (the Level-0 Oracle) can't
    handle a full maximal power computation input, and thus can't
    decide for *ALL* machine inputs.

    how do u know this isn't a fault of the theory in failing to express
    this computation?


    The moment that one switches from the notion of a halt
    decider to the fully coherent notion of a proof theoretic
    halting prover the halting problem counter-example input
    is rejected as not specifying a well-founded justification
    tree, thus a semantically incoherent input.

    the problem is if u run the DD()
    That you just ignored proof theoretic semantics and
    cannot possibly grasp what I said correctly.

    As a proof theoretic halt prover DD is absolutely
    and positively rejected. You cannot see this until
    you first totally understand all of proof theoretic
    semantics.

    It like like I say "to bake a cake..." and you say
    that I used the hammer and screw driver incorrectly


    is DD() executable or not???

    As far as a proof theoretic halt prover goes
    that question is the same as asking do you
    need a screwdriver or a hammer to bake an

    DD as bad input. That's all there is to it in
    proof theoretic semantics.

    In PTS it is the inference steps themselves

    simulating the recursion with an action after the detection feeds

    Your problem is that with "machines" you can't make a decider that
    can't be incorporated into a valid input.

    There is a fundamental limitation of computation once this "recursion"
    becomes possible.

    Even with Oracle machines, as a level-N Oracle machine would need to
    be able to be given a level-H Oracle input, which we can show it can't

    A level-N Oracle machine can only handle inputs based on at most

    By this, A Maximal Power Computation (the Level-0 Oracle) can't handle

    how do u know this isn't a fault of the theory in failing to express
    this computation?


    Because it has been logically proven.

    Unless you want to presume that logic is inherently flawed, as we can
    not trust any proof, the assumption of things proven impossible just
    isn't allowed.

    Your world seems to be based on the assumption that magical unicorns
    exist that can allow you to do what has been proven to be impossible,
    and thus you live in a fantasy world.

    The moment that one switches from the notion of a halt
    decider to the fully coherent notion of a proof theoretic
    halting prover the halting problem counter-example input
    is rejected as not specifying a well-founded justification
    tree, thus a semantically incoherent input.

    But a "Prove Theoretic Halting Prover" isn't a thing. Note, "Programs"
    don't specifiy "justification trees" but sequences of behavior.

    All you are doing is proving that you don't know what a "decider" is,
    all you are doing is proving that your "Decider" HHH can't actually be a "Program" and thus can't be a "Decider" since it doesn't form a
    difinitive path of operations when given a specific input.

    Thus, you claim that your HHH is a decider is a LIE, or your claim that
    it is correct in its decision is a LIE.

    Since you provide the code for HHH, and thus is IS a program, you just
    show you don't understand how "Logic" works, or what it means for a
    statment to be "True" as you think an incorrect answer can be correct.


    The only other category of what is mistakenly called undecidable
    input are things that are outside of the body of knowledge such
    as the truth value of the Goldbach conjecture.

    The problem is that "Knowledge" and "Truth" are different things, and
    your categorical confusion of them just shows you don't understand the difference, or what you are actually talking about.

    Yes, the halting problem show that some FACTS about the world of
    Mathematics will forever be outside our "Body of Knowledge" as no proof
    of them can possibly exist to make them Knowledge. That is what "Undecidability" means.

    The fact that Halting is "Undecidable" means that there exist some machine/input compbinations that we can NEVER know if they will
    ultimately halt or not.

    This IS a fundamental limit to the power of computations, and to
    knowledge, not just some improperly stated question.

    All of every kind of "paradox" has always only been only
    been undiscovered incoherence.


    Nope, and you claim just shows your ignorance and stupidity.

    So, does HHH have a well-founded justification tree for its answer?

    If so, why doesn't DD, which uses that EXACT SAME CODE not have one?

    Your problem is you LIE that HHH is actually a decider, which requires

    Until you understand the basics of the rules of computations, all your comments are just ignorant pathological lies.

    Your problem is that with "machines" you can't make a decider

    The moment that one switches from the notion of a halt
    decider to the fully coherent notion of a proof theoretic
    halting prover the halting problem counter-example input
    is rejected as not specifying a well-founded justification
    tree, thus a semantically incoherent input.

    the problem is if u run the DD()
    That you just ignored proof theoretic semantics and
    cannot possibly grasp what I said correctly.

    As a proof theoretic halt prover DD is absolutely

    you first totally understand all of proof theoretic
    semantics.

    It like like I say "to bake a cake..." and you say
    that I used the hammer and screw driver incorrectly


    is DD() executable or not???


    As far as a proof theoretic halt prover goes
    that question is the same as asking do you
    need a screwdriver or a hammer to bake an
    angel food cake. HHH just correctly rejects
    DD as bad input. That's all there is to it in
    proof theoretic semantics.

    In PTS it is the inference steps themselves

    As far as a proof theoretic halt prover goes that
    question is as relevant to HHH/DD as asking should
    HHH have mustard on its pizza?


    But, what is the actual question that HHH is answering?

    If it isn't based on the actual HALTING property of the machine DD, it
    is just irrelevent.

    And it is clear that DD will PROVABLY halt if HHH returns says that it
    is not true that DD halts.

    It only loops if HHH says that DD actually halts.

    And thus, there is nothing not-well-founded about its halting. HHH
    trying to say it doesn't halt because its doesn't form a well-founded justification tree (what ever that means for the behavior of a program) established a proof that DD halts, and thus there *IS* a well-founded justification tree that DD halts, and thus HHH was WRONG.

    Any attempt to talk about HHH in that case returning something else is
    an admittion that your HHH never was a program in the first place, and
    thuys your whole premise was a lie, because we started here with a
    stipulation that THIS HHH returns false because it thinks its input has
    no well-founded justification tree about halting, which turns out to exist.

    Sorry, you are just caught in your lies, just like you are caught in the
    lies about never being arrested for possession of child porn.

    Because it has been logically proven.

    Unless you want to presume that logic is inherently flawed, as we can
    not trust any proof, the assumption of things proven impossible just
    isn't allowed.

    Your world seems to be based on the assumption that magical unicorns
    exist that can allow you to do what has been proven to be impossible,
    and thus you live in a fantasy world.

    for any given partial halting recognizer one can demonstrate an machine
    that with semantics that ought to result in a true return, but that the recognizer cannot answer truthfully true to...

    but for every one of those machines we've proven what the machine does,
    and that the partial halting recognizer must response false because it
    cannot answer truthfully true...

    which is fine as such a response within it's specification, but the
    failure to answer truthful true is _not_ because the machine's semantics
    is fundamentally undecidable, it's only "undecidable" from the
    perspective of that specific partial recognizer...

    the question i'm left with is what algo did we use to compute that if
    it's truly uncomputable?

    you might say we did an analysis that transcends any kind of single
    algo, but i kinda doubt that???

    The moment that one switches from the notion of a halt
    decider to the fully coherent notion of a proof theoretic
    halting prover the halting problem counter-example input
    is rejected as not specifying a well-founded justification
    tree, thus a semantically incoherent input.

    the problem is if u run the DD()
    That you just ignored proof theoretic semantics and
    cannot possibly grasp what I said correctly.

    As a proof theoretic halt prover DD is absolutely
    and positively rejected. You cannot see this until
    you first totally understand all of proof theoretic
    semantics.

    It like like I say "to bake a cake..." and you say
    that I used the hammer and screw driver incorrectly


    is DD() executable or not???


    As far as a proof theoretic halt prover goes
    that question is the same as asking do you
    need a screwdriver or a hammer to bake an
    angel food cake. HHH just correctly rejects
    DD as bad input. That's all there is to it in
    proof theoretic semantics.

    In PTS it is the inference steps themselves
    that derive ALL of the semantic meaning of DD.


    "is DD() a valid executable machine or not" is a true/false
    question, and your response did not answer that question polcott


    As far as a proof theoretic halt prover goes that
    question is as relevant to HHH/DD as asking should
    HHH have mustard on its pizza?


    regardless of whether it's relevant, ur not answering the question:


    The question proves that your understanding is
    incorrect. Being incorrectly understood is the
    opposite of my goal.

    ofc my understanding is likely incorrect,

    i'm literally asking the question to further my understanding of what
    you are proposing, as my intuition dictates ... which is really the only
    way i know how to learn things like this. i'm sorry.

    are you going to answer it or not:

    is DD() a valid executable machine or not?


    "is DD() a valid executable machine or not?" is a true/false question,

    what is the answer polcott???

    yeah i ran into the same problem,

    simulating the recursion with an action after the detection feeds
    back into making the detection invalid...

    it's a rather weird measurement paradox, like the measurement of

    rick tried to dismiss it with the claim the simulating the machine

    Your problem is that with "machines" you can't make a decider that
    can't be incorporated into a valid input.

    There is a fundamental limitation of computation once this
    "recursion" becomes possible.

    Even with Oracle machines, as a level-N Oracle machine would need to
    be able to be given a level-H Oracle input, which we can show it
    can't handle.

    A level-N Oracle machine can only handle inputs based on at most
    level-N-1 Oracle machines.

    By this, A Maximal Power Computation (the Level-0 Oracle) can't
    handle a full maximal power computation input, and thus can't decide
    for *ALL* machine inputs.

    how do u know this isn't a fault of the theory in failing to express
    this computation?


    Because it has been logically proven.

    Unless you want to presume that logic is inherently flawed, as we can
    not trust any proof, the assumption of things proven impossible just
    isn't allowed.

    Your world seems to be based on the assumption that magical unicorns
    exist that can allow you to do what has been proven to be impossible,
    and thus you live in a fantasy world.

    for any given partial halting recognizer one can demonstrate an machine
    that with semantics that ought to result in a true return, but that the recognizer cannot answer truthfully true to...

    And who cares about a new PARTIAL recognizer for a problem with many
    partial recognizer solutions.

    Note, it isn't "cannot" but "does not" as cannot expresses the concept
    that the machine has a "choice", which it doesn't. The given code for
    the decider has a predetermined fixed answer that it will give for any
    imput.


    but for every one of those machines we've proven what the machine does,
    and that the partial halting recognizer must response false because it cannot answer truthfully true...

    So, that just proves that there can not be a COMPLETE recognizer.


    which is fine as such a response within it's specification, but the
    failure to answer truthful true is _not_ because the machine's semantics
    is fundamentally undecidable, it's only "undecidable" from the
    perspective of that specific partial recognizer...

    Which, as I have pointed out, means that a machine that ALWAYS responds
    false will also meet your specification, as a machine that responds
    false "cannot" get the correct answer for any halting machines, just as
    the decider above couldn't get the right answer for the machine built to
    foil it.

    Your criteria is just that the pattern of steps used by the algorithm
    give the wrong answer for this input. The Olcottian logic of watch the
    input change if you change the decider is just based on lying, as the
    input is a FIXED value in asking the problem, and being an actual
    program and its description, is fully fixed and not dependent on
    something outside of it.


    the question i'm left with is what algo did we use to compute that if
    it's truly uncomputable?

    But the question about the particular machine in this case wasn't uncomputable. The term "Uncomputable" means that there isn't a single
    machine that truthfull answers for *ALL* possible inputs.


    you might say we did an analysis that transcends any kind of single
    algo, but i kinda doubt that???


    No, but we can say your problem is you don't understand the meaning of
    the problem.

    You must become a PTS expert to know anything about

    is correct to reject its DD input as semantically
    incoherent.

    All "paradox" has only ever been hidden incoherence.

    The semantics of the program is determined by the C standard to the

    HHH uses C as the basis if it inference steps.

    You have not yet shown that you can do anything useful or funny or
    otherwise interesting with PTS.


    On that basis of total ignorance of PTS it may
    seem that way.

    In other words, your HHH isn't actuallly a program and thus your whole arguement is a LIE, or

    HHH is just incorrect about its own behavior.

    After all, HHH *ASSUMES* that HHH will not abort its simulation, and
    thus makes a conclusion about the results that is based on a false premise.

    All you are doing is promoting that LYING is valid logic.

    The fact that one attempt doesn't find the well-founded justification
    treee doesn't mean that one doesn't exist, and in fact, you even admit
    that the alternate program HHH1, that doesn't abort at that point finds
    the well-founded justification tree, and thus PROVES that HHH is
    INCORRECT in its assessment, which means that you have porven that your
    own logic is flawed, but refuse to accept your own evidence.

    This just shows how ignorant and stupid you are, and that you don't care
    about what is actually true, as you are just a pathological liar.

    Sorry, but that is the truth that you are proving about yourself.

    Your question proves that you are stupidly incorrect.

    No, your evading it shows you know youy can't answer or you are
    admitting you are just a pathological liar.

    The problem is that if you admit that DD is a valid executable machine,
    that means that HHH must also be a properly defined executable machine,
    and thus HHH(DD) as a defined path of execution that creates a
    well-defined justification tree to the fact that DD will halt since your HHH(DD) returns 0 by your stipulations.

    IF you admit that DD isn't a valid executable machine, then you admit
    that your whole case is just a category error, as the halting problem
    has as its domain of inputs, the representation of valid executables,
    and it also shows that HHH must not be a valid executable machine, as
    there is nothing in the code of DD that makes it not a valid executable machine except if HHH isn't one. And if HHH isn't a valid executable
    machine, it CAN'T be the required decider, as deciders must be valid executable machines.

    Thus, you are just demonstarting that you are an ignorant liar that has
    been caught in your lies and trying to evade.


    is DD() a valid executable machine?

    Unless you becomes an expert at proof theoretic semantics
    you cannot possibly ever know. Until then it is like

    Not quite. There is one thing I can know anyway: it does not solve

    Your question proves that you are stupidly incorrect.

    what am i incorrect about???


    Unless you becomes an expert at proof theoretic semantics
    you cannot possibly ever know. Until then it is like
    trying to explain modern virology to someone convinced
    that disease is caused by evil spirits and have made up
    their mind on this and closed it.

    i'm sorry asking whether DD is a valid executable machine is akin >>>>>> to ascribing disease to spirits???

    bro it's a true/false question in regards to the objective nature >>>>>> of DD.

    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*

    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*

    It is like I ask you to read the exact words
    that text says and you take that to mean to say
    what you want the words to mean that has nothing
    to do with exactly what they actually say.

    regurgitating words isn't the same thing as understanding polcott.
    That is why you must become an expert in proof theoretic
    semantics before you will understand me. Changing the

    how is asking about the executable nature of DD changing the subject?


    A proof theoretic ANYTHING prover does not give a
    rat's ass about anything else in the universe besides
    its own sequence of inference steps.



    In other words, your "Proof Theoretic something" is admittedly just a
    strawman as it isn't concerned about halting.

    Your problem is you have talked yourself into a corner.

    If you admit that DD is a valid executable machine, then by your claim
    that HHH returns "false" as it doesn't meet the decision requirements,
    then DD actually HAS a well-founded justification tree to its halting,
    the complete simulation of that machine, something your HHH doesn't do.

    But, if you admit that DD isn't a valid executable machine, it can be
    shown that means that neither is HHH (as otherwise it must be by the properites of machine construction) and thus HHH can't be the decider
    you claim, as deciders must be valid executable machines.

    THus, your only available "answer" is deflection from the TRUTH that you
    have just been an ignorant pathological liar with nothing to support you
    bogus claims.

    Part of your problem is you don't actually understand what you are
    talking about, because you have forced yourself to be intentionally
    ignorant out of fear that the truth might brainwash you out of believing
    your own lies.

    No, YOU have been nothing but incoherent.

    The problem is your PTS interpretation means you can't ask the question

    As has been pointed out, DD halting *IS* based on a well-founded
    justification tree, just not one that your HHH can find.

    That makes all your work just based on stupid lies.

    when ur proof theoretic whatever prover analyzes DD it concludes the

    It has always been nuts to think that an input
    that does the opposite of whatever value a halt
    decider returns is a valid input. Ordinary
    unadulterated proof theoretic semantics already
    has the complete and perfect foundational basis
    to reject these inputs as semantically incoherent.

    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs. It thus belongs to inferentialism (a term
    coined by Brandom, see his 1994; 2000) according to

    this facts aren't incongruent with each other, both facts can be true.

    it's still not answering my question...


    Your question proves that you are stupidly incorrect.

    what am i incorrect about???


    Unless you becomes an expert at proof theoretic semantics
    you cannot possibly ever know. Until then it is like
    trying to explain modern virology to someone convinced
    that disease is caused by evil spirits and have made up
    their mind on this and closed it.

    i'm sorry asking whether DD is a valid executable machine is
    akin to ascribing disease to spirits???

    bro it's a true/false question in regards to the objective
    nature of DD.

    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*
    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*
    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*

    It is like I ask you to read the exact words
    that text says and you take that to mean to say
    what you want the words to mean that has nothing
    to do with exactly what they actually say.

    regurgitating words isn't the same thing as understanding polcott.
    That is why you must become an expert in proof theoretic
    semantics before you will understand me. Changing the
    subject REALLY WILL NOT HELP !!!


    how is asking about the executable nature of DD changing the subject?


    A proof theoretic ANYTHING prover does not give a
    rat's ass about anything else in the universe besides
    its own sequence of inference steps.


    look i'll so beating around the bush:

    DD is a valid executable machine. when run DD halts, and that is fact.
    do u not agree???


    It has always been nuts to think that an input
    that does the opposite of whatever value a halt
    decider returns is a valid input. Ordinary
    unadulterated proof theoretic semantics already
    has the complete and perfect foundational basis
    to reject these inputs as semantically incoherent.

    1.2 Inferentialism, intuitionism, anti-realism
    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,
    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs. It thus belongs to inferentialism (a term
    coined by Brandom, see his 1994; 2000) according to
    which inferences and the rules of inference establish
    the meaning of expressions Schroeder-Heister, Peter,
    2024 "Proof-Theoretic Semantics"

    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/proof-theoretic-semantics/ #InfeIntuAntiReal

    so you do agree DD halts when executed??? or not???


    when ur proof theoretic whatever prover analyzes DD it concludes the
    input is invalid, and that is always a fact. i can agree with this.

    this facts aren't incongruent with each other, both facts can be true.
    DD can be a halting machine that is also invalid input in regards to
    your proof theoretic whatever prover.

    do u not agree???

    IT WAS MODELED AFTER THE LIAR PARADOX.
    It also seems completely psychotic that even the
    Liar Paradox has not been OFFICIALLY ruled to
    have always been incoherent nonsense AFTER 2000 YEARS.

    % This sentence is not true.
    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).
    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    The above unequivocally proves that the Liar
    Paradox exactly and precisely within the framework
    of Proof Theoretic Semantics is semantically
    incoherent.

    circular analytical paradox _is_ possible


    THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF BAD DATA TO BE REJECTED.
    Proof Theoretic Semantics does this very cleanly
    it rejects all such inputs as semantically incoherent.

    except DD _is_ a valid machine, that _does_ halt, no???


    IT WAS MODELED AFTER THE LIAR PARADOX.
    It also seems completely psychotic that even the
    Liar Paradox has not been OFFICIALLY ruled to
    have always been incoherent nonsense AFTER 2000 YEARS.

    So you think, because you don't understand what the theory actualy says.

    Yes, some general philosophers can't define how to handle it, because
    they can't agree on the rules to use.

    Real logitians just understand that the liar's paradox is a statement
    without a truth value.


    % This sentence is not true.
    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).
    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    The above unequivocally proves that the Liar
    Paradox exactly and precisely within the framework
    of Proof Theoretic Semantics is semantically
    incoherent.


    No, it doesm't, but you are too stupid to understand it.

    THe problem is "Prolog" isn't a powerful enough system to actually
    handle the logic.

    Yes, the liar's paradox *IS* not well-founded, even in a proof-theoretic system, but Prologs determination doesn't prove it.

    Part of your problem is you don't know what a proof actually is.

    it's still not answering my question...


    Your question proves that you are stupidly incorrect.

    what am i incorrect about???


    Unless you becomes an expert at proof theoretic semantics
    you cannot possibly ever know. Until then it is like
    trying to explain modern virology to someone convinced
    that disease is caused by evil spirits and have made up
    their mind on this and closed it.

    i'm sorry asking whether DD is a valid executable machine is
    akin to ascribing disease to spirits???

    bro it's a true/false question in regards to the objective
    nature of DD.

    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*
    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*
    *THAT IS NOT HOW PROOF THEORETIC SEMANTICS WORKS*

    It is like I ask you to read the exact words
    that text says and you take that to mean to say
    what you want the words to mean that has nothing
    to do with exactly what they actually say.

    regurgitating words isn't the same thing as understanding polcott.
    That is why you must become an expert in proof theoretic
    semantics before you will understand me. Changing the
    subject REALLY WILL NOT HELP !!!


    how is asking about the executable nature of DD changing the subject?


    A proof theoretic ANYTHING prover does not give a
    rat's ass about anything else in the universe besides
    its own sequence of inference steps.


    look i'll so beating around the bush:

    DD is a valid executable machine. when run DD halts, and that is fact.
    do u not agree???


    It has always been nuts to think that an input
    that does the opposite of whatever value a halt
    decider returns is a valid input. Ordinary
    unadulterated proof theoretic semantics already
    has the complete and perfect foundational basis
    to reject these inputs as semantically incoherent.

    Why?

    Note, the input isn't about "any" halt decider, but the ONE SPECIFIC one
    that it includes the copy of.

    Your problem is you don't understand what a PROGRAM is, and think that
    it can somehow "reference" something not in it.

    Thus, YOUR idea of DD, as refering to "whatever" machine we want to call
    HHH just isn't a valid program, at leadst not until a specific machine
    is specified to be that HHH.

    So, all you have done is proven that you stupidly have been working of
    your own lie as to what the problem you were looking at actually was,
    because you INTENTIALLY made yourself ignorant of it out of the fear
    that "the truth" would brainwash you.


    1.2 Inferentialism, intuitionism, anti-realism
    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,
    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs. It thus belongs to inferentialism (a term
    coined by Brandom, see his 1994; 2000) according to
    which inferences and the rules of inference establish
    the meaning of expressions Schroeder-Heister, Peter,
    2024 "Proof-Theoretic Semantics"

    Which has NOTHING to do with Formal Systems, but is part of the
    arguements of general Philosophers arguing about what rules we should be
    using to think about the real world.

    You don't seem to understand, that in a formal system, all those
    questions go away, as the first step of a formal system is to define
    which methods are "valid" in that system, and thus your concept of
    "changing" a system to use Proof-Theoretic Semantics, when that isn't
    the semantics the system was built on is admitting that you are just a
    liar, adn aren't doing what you are claiming, and you need to determine
    what your new system actually looks like, if it is even possible to do so.

    You are just showing you are too stupid to understand this.


    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/proof-theoretic-semantics/ #InfeIntuAntiReal

    when ur proof theoretic whatever prover analyzes DD it concludes the
    input is invalid, and that is always a fact. i can agree with this.

    this facts aren't incongruent with each other, both facts can be true.
    DD can be a halting machine that is also invalid input in regards to
    your proof theoretic whatever prover.

    do u not agree???

    right but that machine DD _does_ halt...


    Sew UR nuts.

    i'm nuts for suggesting that a halting machine halts???


    Everyone has been nuts to require a machine to
    report on an input that was intentionally designed
    to do the opposite of whatever it reports.

    but it's not "intentional", it just happens to be part of the total

    IT WAS MODELED AFTER THE LIAR PARADOX.

    it happens to fit that form much of the time, but decidability problems

    across all circle-free machines. and without certain fixes, the problem
    arises when the diagonal machine is deciding on itself as circle-free...
    this was not an intention constructional, but an artifact of
    self-references within turing machine logic,

    they just _are_ a possible construction within all permutations of
    turing machine definitions

    It also seems completely psychotic that even the

    Proof Theoretic Semantics inherently does this for
    every aspect of any input that does not have a
    finite back-chained sequence of inference steps
    to valid closure.

    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number
    of steps. With PTS these inference steps are
    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed

    so you do agree DD halts when executed??? or not???


    At this point that question becomes pure trolling
    with zero honest dialogue intent.

    It has ALWAYS been 100% TOTALLY NUTS to not reject
    an input that does the opposite of whatever its
    decider reports.

    Proof theoretic semantics provides the complete
    foundational basis for this rejection to be
    accomplished algorithmically.


    right but that machine DD _does_ halt...


    Sew UR nuts.

    i'm nuts for suggesting that a halting machine halts???


    Everyone has been nuts to require a machine to
    report on an input that was intentionally designed
    to do the opposite of whatever it reports.

    but it's not "intentional", it just happens to be part of the total
    possible ways a machine can be constructed,

    specifically because the possibility for machines referencing
    themselves (proven by kleene's second recursion theorem):

    because machines can self-reference their own result, this kind of
    circular analytical paradox _is_ possible


    THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF BAD DATA TO BE REJECTED.
    Proof Theoretic Semantics does this very cleanly
    it rejects all such inputs as semantically incoherent.

    except DD _is_ a valid machine, that _does_ halt, no???


    IT WAS MODELED AFTER THE LIAR PARADOX.

    it happens to fit that form much of the time, but decidability
    problems within computing are _not_ intentionally modeled after the
    liar's paradox...

    turing when he stumbled on the first undecidable situation within
    computing was not considering the liar's paradox or even godel's
    incompleteness directly. he was considering cantor's diagonal formed
    across all circle-free machines. and without certain fixes, the
    problem arises when the diagonal machine is deciding on itself as
    circle-free... this was not an intention constructional, but an
    artifact of self- references within turing machine logic,

    they just _are_ a possible construction within all permutations of
    turing machine definitions

    It also seems completely psychotic that even the
    Liar Paradox has not been OFFICIALLY ruled to
    have always been incoherent nonsense AFTER 2000 YEARS.

    % This sentence is not true.
    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).
    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    The above unequivocally proves that the Liar
    Paradox exactly and precisely within the framework
    of Proof Theoretic Semantics is semantically
    incoherent.


    i agree something fishy is going on, but we cannot just declare a
    machine that certainly halts as incoherent input to a halting prover
    (without some further explanation of how the truth of it being halting
    is ascertained)


    Unless UR nuts (or so indoctrinated to drink the
    Kool-Aid of the conventional view that you can't
    think clearly) you would realize that *NOT REJECTING*
    an input that does the opposite of whatever value
    its decider returns *HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY NUTS*

    Proof Theoretic Semantics inherently does this for
    every aspect of any input that does not have a
    finite back-chained sequence of inference steps
    to valid closure.

    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number
    of steps. With PTS these inference steps are
    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed
    to be considered.


    i don't need to insult you to point out the fact DD is a valid machine
    that halts when executed,

    why do u think u need to insult me back when i point that out?

    Everyone has been nuts to require a machine to
    report on an input that was intentionally designed
    to do the opposite of whatever it reports.

    but it's not "intentional", it just happens to be part of the
    total possible ways a machine can be constructed,

    specifically because the possibility for machines referencing
    themselves (proven by kleene's second recursion theorem):

    because machines can self-reference their own result, this kind >>>>>>> of circular analytical paradox _is_ possible


    THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF BAD DATA TO BE REJECTED.
    Proof Theoretic Semantics does this very cleanly
    it rejects all such inputs as semantically incoherent.

    except DD _is_ a valid machine, that _does_ halt, no???


    IT WAS MODELED AFTER THE LIAR PARADOX.

    it happens to fit that form much of the time, but decidability
    problems within computing are _not_ intentionally modeled after the >>>>> liar's paradox...

    turing when he stumbled on the first undecidable situation within
    computing was not considering the liar's paradox or even godel's
    incompleteness directly. he was considering cantor's diagonal
    formed across all circle-free machines. and without certain fixes,
    the problem arises when the diagonal machine is deciding on itself
    as circle-free... this was not an intention constructional, but an
    artifact of self- references within turing machine logic,

    they just _are_ a possible construction within all permutations of
    turing machine definitions

    It also seems completely psychotic that even the
    Liar Paradox has not been OFFICIALLY ruled to
    have always been incoherent nonsense AFTER 2000 YEARS.

    % This sentence is not true.
    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).
    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    The above unequivocally proves that the Liar
    Paradox exactly and precisely within the framework
    of Proof Theoretic Semantics is semantically
    incoherent.


    i agree something fishy is going on, but we cannot just declare a
    machine that certainly halts as incoherent input to a halting
    prover (without some further explanation of how the truth of it
    being halting is ascertained)


    Unless UR nuts (or so indoctrinated to drink the
    Kool-Aid of the conventional view that you can't
    think clearly) you would realize that *NOT REJECTING*
    an input that does the opposite of whatever value
    its decider returns *HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY NUTS*

    Proof Theoretic Semantics inherently does this for
    every aspect of any input that does not have a
    finite back-chained sequence of inference steps
    to valid closure.

    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number
    of steps. With PTS these inference steps are
    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed
    to be considered.


    i don't need to insult you to point out the fact DD is a valid
    machine that halts when executed,

    why do u think u need to insult me back when i point that out?


    You keep changing the subject away from the
    fact that DD has always been a bad input to
    any halt decider.

    i thought we agreed an HHH1 which is not named in DD could correctly
    decide on it...


    Just because a bunch of knuckleheads have not
    construed it as a bad input provides zero
    actual evidence that it was not a bad input
    all along.


    right, but DD still halts, and the prover failed to prove that


    This makes me ponder on my fuzzer. You know...

    Not quite. There is one thing I can know anyway: it does not solve >>>>>> the halting problem.

    Tarski Undefinability, Gödel 1931 Incompleteness and

    Everything derived from axioms and postulates with truth preserving

    Gödel doesn't do that. His definition of true sneaks
    off somewhere else into a meta-math model.

    How is a definition of "true" relevant to Gödel's incomleteness
    theorem?

    The first incompleteness theorem states that in
    any consistent formal system F within which a
    certain amount of arithmetic can be carried out,
    there are statements of the language of F which
    can neither be proved nor disproved in F. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/goedel-incompleteness/

    That's right. You did no not use the word "true" above so its definition
    is irrelevant to the first incompletness theorem.

    No, YOU are NUTS for making claims that don't have support.

    WHy can't a program use a decider and do the opposite of what it says?

    It seems you don't understand the basics of what programs can do.


    Proof Theoretic Semantics inherently does this for
    every aspect of any input that does not have a
    finite back-chained sequence of inference steps
    to valid closure.

    But, your problem is that you don't undertstand what you are talking about,

    Your input, the program DD which usees a specific program HHH does have
    a well-founded justification tree for its halting, since that HHH
    returns the result that it doesn't. There is nothing logically wrong
    with that behavior. (THere IS a logical error in that HHH).





    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number
    of steps. With PTS these inference steps are
    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed
    to be considered.


    So?

    Since that isn't the definition of Halting, or what your HHH actually
    does (since it aborts part way) means your "logic" is just based on lies.

    The actual correct simulation of DD, by an actual correct simulator
    shows that it halts.

    The fact that you keep on claiming that you HHH, which only PARTIALLY simulates does a "correct simulation acccording to the sematics of the C programming language" shows that you are just a pathological liar.

    Because, to do that, the code of HHH must be included, and thus you have
    only a single HHH that you can talk about, the one whose code you
    provided with DD. And the fact that that code includes the abort is the
    whole reason that DD halts.

    You are just showing you dont know the meaning of the words, and are
    either so totally disabled that you can't learn them, or so immoral that
    you refuse to because you know the definitions would make you wrong.

    I guess the problem is that the "Godel Number" operator, that doesn't

    Thus, all you have proven is that you can't do math.

    Unless UR nuts (or so indoctrinated to drink the
    Kool-Aid of the conventional view that you can't
    think clearly) you would realize that *NOT REJECTING*
    an input that does the opposite of whatever value
    its decider returns *HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY NUTS*

    Proof Theoretic Semantics inherently does this for
    every aspect of any input that does not have a
    finite back-chained sequence of inference steps
    to valid closure.

    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number
    of steps. With PTS these inference steps are
    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed
    to be considered.


    i don't need to insult you to point out the fact DD is a valid
    machine that halts when executed,

    why do u think u need to insult me back when i point that out?


    You keep changing the subject away from the
    fact that DD has always been a bad input to
    any halt decider.

    i thought we agreed an HHH1 which is not named in DD could
    correctly decide on it...

    yes i know that, truth can be defined relative to a reference point.
    same is true in physical too,

    but u keep repeating on and on about bad input instead of explaining
    both perspectives at the same time


    I don't allocate equal weight to falsehoods.
    The HP counter-example input has always been
    bad and the only reason this is not universally
    understood is that sheeple herd together in
    the conventional views.

    no, turing's diagonal counter-example, the _original_ problem, is not a trivial program that produces no output.

    it actually performs a computation and deciding on that computation is
    an issue.


    Any input that does the opposite of whatever value its
    decider returns should have been rejected as bad input
    is dead obvious.

    I am not sure how far back PTS has generically
    rejected every expression that specifies cycles
    in the directed graph of inference steps it may
    be as far back as 1930.

    The key relevant thing is that ALL PTS experts
    now universally agree that such expressions
    lack any semantic meaning because all PTS
    experts universally agree that ALL semantic
    meaning ONLY comes from finite sequences of
    inference steps.

    This article was written by the guy that coined
    the term "proof theoretic semantics"

    1.2 Inferentialism, intuitionism, anti-realism
    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,
    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs.

    It thus belongs to inferentialism (a term coined by
    Brandom, see his 1994; 2000) according to which
    inferences and the rules of inference establish the
    meaning of expressions...

    Unless the other paragraphs below are over-your-head
    they provide the crucial foundational basis for how I
    have been correct all along:

    In analytic philosophy, anti-realism is the position
    that the truth of a statement rests on its demonstrability
    through internal logic mechanisms...
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-realism

    All that "anti-realism" is really saying is that truth
    is computable even though the compositional meaning of
    "anti-realism" says something like a psychotic break
    from reality.

    1.2 Inferentialism, intuitionism, anti-realism
    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,
    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs.

    It thus belongs to inferentialism (a term coined by
    Brandom, see his 1994; 2000) according to which
    inferences and the rules of inference establish the
    meaning of expressions...

    incoherent.

    Unless UR nuts (or so indoctrinated to drink the
    Kool-Aid of the conventional view that you can't
    think clearly) you would realize that *NOT REJECTING*
    an input that does the opposite of whatever value
    its decider returns *HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY NUTS*

    Proof Theoretic Semantics inherently does this for
    every aspect of any input that does not have a
    finite back-chained sequence of inference steps
    to valid closure.

    DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
    the C programming language cannot possibly reach
    its own return instruction in any finite number
    of steps. With PTS these inference steps are
    THE WHOLE GAME. Absolutely nothing else is allowed
    to be considered.


    i don't need to insult you to point out the fact DD is a valid >>>>>>>>>> machine that halts when executed,

    why do u think u need to insult me back when i point that out? >>>>>>>>>>

    You keep changing the subject away from the
    fact that DD has always been a bad input to
    any halt decider.

    i thought we agreed an HHH1 which is not named in DD could
    correctly decide on it...


    Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this (yes/no) question?
    E C R Hehner. Objective and Subjective Specifications
    WST Workshop on Termination, Oxford.  2018 July 18.
    See https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hehner/OSS.pdf

    yes i know that, truth can be defined relative to a reference
    point. same is true in physical too,

    but u keep repeating on and on about bad input instead of
    explaining both perspectives at the same time


    I don't allocate equal weight to falsehoods.
    The HP counter-example input has always been
    bad and the only reason this is not universally
    understood is that sheeple herd together in
    the conventional views.

    no, turing's diagonal counter-example, the _original_ problem, is
    not a trivial program that produces no output.

    it actually performs a computation and deciding on that computation
    is an issue.


    Any input that does the opposite of whatever value its
    decider returns should have been rejected as bad input
    is dead obvious.

    the computation doesn't _try_ to contradict itself, it necessarily
    does it as an artifact of it's construction of applying the decider to
    all input...


    It is isomorphic to the Liar Paradox and the sheeple

    is it not "isomorhpic" to the liar's paradox, it an infinitely running computation that tests the entire enumeration of machines, and in doing
    so stumbles on trying to decide on itself as either a circular or
    circle-free machine, both of which are infinitely running results.

    the liar's paradox does no such thing even remotely

    the circle-free paradox is not an intentional construction to deceive a decider ... it just is a result of trying to universally apply a
    true/false circle-free decider to all machines, causing the decider to
    fail on deciding itself.

    of humanity never figured that out because the would
    rather herd together than know the truth.


    I am not sure how far back PTS has generically
    rejected every expression that specifies cycles
    in the directed graph of inference steps it may
    be as far back as 1930.

    The key relevant thing is that ALL PTS experts
    now universally agree that such expressions
    lack any semantic meaning because all PTS
    experts universally agree that ALL semantic
    meaning ONLY comes from finite sequences of
    inference steps.

    what the difference between a "finite sequence of inference steps" and
    a computation???


    What is wrong with a payroll system that gets
    stuck in an infinite loop so that no one ever
    gets paid? (same thing)

    Unless the other paragraphs below are over-your-head
    they provide the crucial foundational basis for how I
    have been correct all along:

    In analytic philosophy, anti-realism is the position
    that the truth of a statement rests on its demonstrability
    through internal logic mechanisms... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-realism

    All that "anti-realism" is really saying is that truth
    is computable even though the compositional meaning of
    "anti-realism" says something like a psychotic break
    from reality.

    the term "proof theoretic semantics"

    1.2 Inferentialism, intuitionism, anti-realism
    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,

    function LoopIfYouSayItHalts (bool YouSayItHalts):
    if YouSayItHalts () then
    while true do {}
    else
    return false;

    Does this program Halt?

    (Your (YES or NO) answer is to be considered
    translated to Boolean as the function's input
    parameter)

    Are claiming that all of the textbooks about the
    halting problem are a complete misrepresentation this: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf

    My process is to start with the succinct essence of
    enormously difficult analytical problems and then
    spend decades boiling them down to their barest
    possible essence.

    This is the succinct essence that I started with. https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    The barest possible essence is that a proof theoretic
    halt prover H rejects the HP counter-example input
    D as meaningless. In PTS meaning is only acquired
    through a finite sequence of inference steps. Infinite
    sequences are rejected as ungrounded.

    The above uses exactly standard PTS terminology
    to the best of my current ability.

        If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its

    Right, but the *CORRECT* simulation of D will halt, since the H that it
    uses happens to stop simulating it, thus H can not correctly determine
    that D will not halt unless its correct simulatin is halted.

    Your logic is based on assuming false premises are true.


        H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
        specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
    </MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>



    And, since the criteria was not meet, but H aborted anyway, it makes an
    error.

    Your problem is you are confusing the requirements of H with the actual implementation of H. You assume that your H does what it was supposed
    to, but it doesn't (because it CAN'T, as that result is uncomputable)

    "Which H" we are talking about as far as the behavior of D was fixed
    when you built D. That H has a fixed behavior, which is clearly to abort
    and return 0.

    When you talk about "an H" deciding on it, and it doing a correct
    simulation doesn't change what "H" "D" was built on. The deciding H can
    be a different machine, with different behavior, and that could simulate
    the input to the final state, and thus it can not conclude that it can't
    do that. The issue then is you no longer have the equivalence of the
    deciding H from the H that D was built on, as your logic assumes you can change the input and it still be the same input.

    All you have done is proven that the H that D was built on was jus
    INCORRECT to do what it did and abort its simulation.

    Your logic is built on your LIES that the PROGRAM D that H is given can somehow determine what H is deciding on it and change. That Make D
    actually not a program, and your setup is a lie.

    You then equivocate and talk about an infinte set of H/D as if they are
    the one H/D that is given, thus showing you are just lying and
    effectively claiming that 1 is the same as infinity. In actuallity,
    every one of those H are wrong about their D (which are all diffferent
    Ds based on the different Hs) and thus your claim that "H" is correct is
    just an infinite number of LIES.

    Sorry, all you are doing is proving that you don't know how to do logic,
    that you don't know what you are talking about, but are just a
    pathological liar that doesn't care how stupid you are.

    _complete_ misrepresentation??? no that would be a false dichotomy. it's

    but i do recommend carefully reading p247 and reconstructing his problem definition in whatever psuedo-code u choose to understand exactly the
    what he demonstrated.

    i don't think u will polcott, but i'm truly recommending it and then
    trying to apply your logical resolution to it directly.

    i found that doing so helped my advanced my ideas greatly...

    The first incompleteness theorem sentence
    has a cycle in the directed graph of its
    evaluation sequence making it semantically
    incoherent.

    This kind of semantically incoherence is
    foundational in proof theoretic semantics.

    Nice to see that you don't disagree.

    Gödel's G is merely semantically incoherent when
    examined within the foundation of Proof Theoretic
    Semantics.

    As a sentence of natural number arithmetic it only needs be meaningful
    in the sempantics of natural number arithmetic.

    A cycle is detected in the directed graphs of its
    evaluation sequence proving that it does not represent
    a well-founded justification tree.

    From the syntax rules of the first order logic follows that there are
    no cycles in any sentence in the language of the first order Peano
    arithmetic, which is the language of Gödel's sentence. Therefore there
    is no cycle in Gödel's sentence.

    I don't allocate equal weight to falsehoods.
    The HP counter-example input has always been
    bad and the only reason this is not universally
    understood is that sheeple herd together in
    the conventional views.

    no, turing's diagonal counter-example, the _original_ problem, >>>>>>>>> is not a trivial program that produces no output.

    it actually performs a computation and deciding on that
    computation is an issue.


    Any input that does the opposite of whatever value its
    decider returns should have been rejected as bad input
    is dead obvious.

    the computation doesn't _try_ to contradict itself, it
    necessarily does it as an artifact of it's construction of
    applying the decider to all input...


    It is isomorphic to the Liar Paradox and the sheeple

    is it not "isomorhpic" to the liar's paradox, it an infinitely
    running computation that tests the entire enumeration of machines,
    and in doing so stumbles on trying to decide on itself as either a
    circular or circle-free machine, both of which are infinitely
    running results.

    the liar's paradox does no such thing even remotely

    the circle-free paradox is not an intentional construction to
    deceive a decider ... it just is a result of trying to universally
    apply a true/ false circle-free decider to all machines, causing
    the decider to fail on deciding itself.


    I proved the HP input is the same as the Liar Paradox back in 2004

    the circle-free problem found in turing's diagonals are not the same
    thing as the halting problem, peter


    Are claiming that all of the textbooks about the
    halting problem are a complete misrepresentation this:
    https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf

    _complete_ misrepresentation??? no that would be a false dichotomy. it's
    a simpler form of the problem, perhaps even the simplest.

    but i do recommend carefully reading p247 and reconstructing his problem definition in whatever psuedo-code u choose to understand exactly the
    what he demonstrated.

    i don't think u will polcott, but i'm truly recommending it and then
    trying to apply your logical resolution to it directly.

    i found that doing so helped my advanced my ideas greatly...

    My process is to start with the succinct essence of
    enormously difficult analytical problems and then
    spend decades boiling them down to their barest
    possible essence.

    This is the succinct essence that I started with.
    https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    The barest possible essence is that a proof theoretic
    halt prover H rejects the HP counter-example input
    D as meaningless. In PTS meaning is only acquired
    through a finite sequence of inference steps. Infinite
    sequences are rejected as ungrounded.

    The above uses exactly standard PTS terminology
    to the best of my current ability.

    rick managed to do it, can you?



    My process is to start with the succinct essence of
    enormously difficult analytical problems and then
    spend decades boiling them down to their barest
    possible essence.

    This is the succinct essence that I started with.
    https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    The barest possible essence is that a proof theoretic
    halt prover H rejects the HP counter-example input
    D as meaningless. In PTS meaning is only acquired
    through a finite sequence of inference steps. Infinite
    sequences are rejected as ungrounded.

    The above uses exactly standard PTS terminology
    to the best of my current ability.

    Any input that does the opposite of whatever value its

    is dead obvious.

    the computation doesn't _try_ to contradict itself, it
    necessarily does it as an artifact of it's construction of

    It is isomorphic to the Liar Paradox and the sheeple

    the liar's paradox does no such thing even remotely

    the circle-free paradox is not an intentional construction to
    deceive a decider ... it just is a result of trying to
    universally apply a true/ false circle-free decider to all
    machines, causing the decider to fail on deciding itself.


    I proved the HP input is the same as the Liar Paradox back in 2004

    the circle-free problem found in turing's diagonals are not the
    same thing as the halting problem, peter


    Are claiming that all of the textbooks about the
    halting problem are a complete misrepresentation this:
    https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf

    _complete_ misrepresentation??? no that would be a false dichotomy.
    it's a simpler form of the problem, perhaps even the simplest.

    but i do recommend carefully reading p247 and reconstructing his
    problem definition in whatever psuedo-code u choose to understand
    exactly the what he demonstrated.

    i don't think u will polcott, but i'm truly recommending it and then
    trying to apply your logical resolution to it directly.

    i found that doing so helped my advanced my ideas greatly...


    typedef int (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    int DD()
    {
       int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
       if (Halt_Status)

       return Halt_Status;
    }

    peter, that's just copy pasting a halting problem, it's not the problem

    yes, post what his machine does in psuedo-code

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical

    rick managed to do it, can you?


    So you are incapable of showing a MATERIAL difference
    even though you really really believe such a MATERIAL
    difference exists.

    yes, post what his machine does in psuedo-code


    So you do not understand actual real code?

    no i just want u to work thru his logic peter and a psuedo-code
    sketch of what he was getting at, at the level he reasoned ...

    no idea what ur being so resistant, i'm curious as to how your ideas
    might apply but ur refusing to even look into the matter


    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent decades
    on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.

    Semantics.

    As a sentence of natural number arithmetic it only needs be meaningful
    in the sempantics of natural number arithmetic.

    Yes and Proof Theoretic Semantics defines its notion
    of truth only within the finite inference steps of
    the formal system. This means that anything that is
    unprovable in PA is untrue in PA.

    By the rules of PA the sentence G ∨ ¬G where G is Gödel's sentence
    is a theorem.

    It is provable (and actually proven by Gödel( in the metatheory
    that neither G nor ¬G is provable in Peano arithmetic. This follows
    from the way G is constructed.

    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent decades
    on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    And what is "logically impossible" about an input that is the
    representation of a program that calls a specific implementation of a
    Halt Decider and does the opposite of it?

    Do you not belive in "Programs" existing?


    Note, your idea of an infinite set of inputs and deciders all being
    though of as one is what is logically incorrect/impossible, as one and infinity are different things. The set is not "a programs", and thus not
    a valid input.

    It is common understanding that the halting problem
    counter-example is that a halt decider is required
    to report on the behavior of the encoding of a program
    that does the opposite of whatever it reports.

    This is merely impossible, thus does not limit computation
    any more than the inability to answer this question limits
    computation: "What time is it (yes or no)?"

    It turns out that when the actual inference steps are
    performed according to the semantics of the inference
    language in an attempt to prove halting, that this proof
    itself would not terminate. It is very well understood
    in proof theoretic semantics that non-terminating proof
    proof that inputs are meaningless.

    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential,
    as it is inferential activity which manifests itself
    in proofs. ...inferences and the rules of inference
    establish the meaning of expressions.

    int main()
    {
    HHH(DD);
    }

    A halt decider evaluates its input according to its own
    inference rules — the semantics of its language. When
    HHH simulates DD, the simulation cannot terminate.
    That non-termination is what DD means as input to HHH.

    Objecting that DD halts when run directly is switching
    to a different rule system mid-argument. You don't get
    to do that. Meaning is defined by the rules you're
    actually using.

    But for that specific input (which is a program), there *IS* an actual well-founded justifiction tree to the answer, just not one that the

    typedef int (*ptr)();
    int HHH(ptr P);

    int DD()
    {
      int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
      if (Halt_Status)
        HERE: goto HERE;
      return Halt_Status;
    }

    int main()
    {
      HHH(DD);
    }

    A halt decider evaluates its input according to its own
    inference rules — the semantics of its language. When
    HHH simulates DD, the simulation cannot terminate.
    That non-termination is what DD means as input to HHH.

    Right, but it doesn't COMPLETELY evalute the behavior of the input.

    Note, "HHH" needs to be an actual specific instance of the algorithm you
    want to claim.

    It doesn't matter that "HHH"'s simulation doesn't terminate, as you have indicated that it choose to INCORRECTLY presume that the correct
    simulation if THIS SPECIFIC PROGRAM (the one based on the HHH that does
    what you presume, that is abort it simulation) will not halt.

    But the actual correct simulaiton of this input does halt.

    Remember, the behavior is the ACTUAL behavior of the machine described
    by the input, not just what the decider happens to determin about it.

    You fail by not understanding the difference between "Objective" facts,
    that are universally true, and "Subjective" impressions based on what
    the observer can determine.

    The REAL definiton of Halting is an objective property.


    Objecting that DD halts when run directly is switching
    to a different rule system mid-argument. You don't get
    to do that. Meaning is defined by the rules you're
    actually using.


    Nope. After all, that *IS* the behavior specified by the language, when
    you include the actual code for the version of HHH that you are claiming
    to be using, that does what you say.

    The problem is you LIE and imagine two different behaviors for the same
    code, which is just an impossibility.

    Your logic is based on assuming LIES are true, showing you don't
    actually understand how logic works.

    HHH INCORRECTLY assumes that the HHH is sees is diffferent than itself,
    and that that other version will keep on simulating.

    With logic like you use, we could say that if you had a real brain that
    you were using, you should have won a Turing Award, but of course, since
    you have proven that this premise isn't true, and you apparently don't
    have a working brain that can handle acutal logic, is the reason you
    haven't be given such a recognition.

    The "Different rule system" is YOURS, as Halting is properly defined as
    an objective propety,

    But of course, since to you "truth" is just something subjective and not
    well defined, you just ignore real definitions and live a life of lies.

    So you are incapable of showing a MATERIAL difference

    yes, post what his machine does in psuedo-code


    So you do not understand actual real code?

    no i just want u to work thru his logic peter and a psuedo-code
    sketch of what he was getting at, at the level he reasoned ...

    no idea what ur being so resistant, i'm curious as to how your ideas
    might apply but ur refusing to even look into the matter


    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent decades
    on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state transformation
    functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of whether
    DD halt or not?

    whether that answer is provable or computable is a different question

    Actually, a key part of his problem is that HIS 'DD' isn't a machine,
    because his 'HHH' isn't a machine either, but is an infinite sets of
    pairings of machines.

    'DD' is a 'something' that represents this relationship.

    And that means that his arguement is just a category error.

    OR that is ONE version of his arguement.

    Alternatively, 'HHH' is presumed to be a 'machine' whose behavior
    changes based on how it is looked at, almost as if it had free will, but
    of course, that means it isn't really a machine, but just a lie.

    Over all, it is clear he doesn't actually understand what he is talking
    about, because he doesn't understand that he needs to use the definition
    of a term that agrees with the context it is used in, esspecially if it
    is a "term-of-art'.

    So you are incapable of showing a MATERIAL difference

    yes, post what his machine does in psuedo-code


    So you do not understand actual real code?

    no i just want u to work thru his logic peter and a psuedo-code
    sketch of what he was getting at, at the level he reasoned ...

    no idea what ur being so resistant, i'm curious as to how your
    ideas might apply but ur refusing to even look into the matter


    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent
    decades on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state transformation functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of whether
    DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    whether that answer is provable or computable is a different question

    Yes and Proof Theoretic Semantics defines its notion

    the formal system. This means that anything that is
    unprovable in PA is untrue in PA.

    By the rules of PA the sentence G ∨ ¬G where G is Gödel's sentence
    is a theorem.

    It is provable (and actually proven by Gödel( in the metatheory
    that neither G nor ¬G is provable in Peano arithmetic. This follows
    from the way G is constructed.

    Yet switching to a meta-theory is cheating in PTS.

    As PTS is a metatheory, switching to PTS is cheating.

    Use of metatheory is needed in order to answer qeusstions about a
    theory, for example whether G is a theorem of Peano arithmetic, and
    questions about two or more theories, for example whether two theories
    are equivalent.

    When G and ~G cannot be proven directly in PA then in
    the standard conventional PTS G has no meaning in PA.
    Regardless what PTS says, as an arithmetic sentence G has an arithmetic meaning.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent
    decades on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    But the question isb't "impossible", just uncomputable.

    There *IS* a correct answer, it just can't be handled, in general, by a computation.


    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state transformation
    functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of
    whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    But only for that decider.

    Your problem is you don't know what a "fact" is, or what it means to be
    a "truth".

    The fact that YOU are too stupid, and/or ignorant to get an answer
    doesn't mean there isn't one.

    Remember, the quesition isn't based on the decider itself, as that would
    be a subjective question, but is an objective one about the machine the
    input represents.

    Of course, liars don't like objective criteria, because those have
    factual answers that show that they are actually liars,

    Your DD actually halta if your HHH does what you say, and thus you are
    left with a delima.

    Either admit that you are lying that HHH gets the right answer (since it
    says that DD does not halt, but it does halt) or that you are lying that
    HHH is actually a decider meaning it must first be a program with
    definite behavior (That is, always saying that the input DD will halt).

    Your in ability to see this just shows why you are just a pathological liar.



    whether that answer is provable or computable is a different question

    Yes and Proof Theoretic Semantics defines its notion
    of truth only within the finite inference steps of
    the formal system. This means that anything that is
    unprovable in PA is untrue in PA.

    By the rules of PA the sentence G ∨ ¬G where G is Gödel's sentence
    is a theorem.

    It is provable (and actually proven by Gödel( in the metatheory
    that neither G nor ¬G is provable in Peano arithmetic. This follows
    from the way G is constructed.

    Yet switching to a meta-theory is cheating in PTS.

    As PTS is a metatheory, switching to PTS is cheating.

    Use of metatheory is needed in order to answer qeusstions about a
    theory, for example whether G is a theorem of Peano arithmetic, and questions about two or more theories, for example whether two theories
    are equivalent.

    When G and ~G cannot be proven directly in PA then in
    the standard conventional PTS G has no meaning in PA.
    Regardless what PTS says, as an arithmetic sentence G has an arithmetic meaning.


    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential, as
    it is inferential activity which manifests itself in proofs.

    So you are incapable of showing a MATERIAL difference

    yes, post what his machine does in psuedo-code


    So you do not understand actual real code?

    no i just want u to work thru his logic peter and a psuedo-code
    sketch of what he was getting at, at the level he reasoned ...

    no idea what ur being so resistant, i'm curious as to how your
    ideas might apply but ur refusing to even look into the matter


    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent
    decades on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state transformation
    functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of
    whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    because he was trying to define the logic to compute an actual
    computable sequence pete: the direct diagonal across all circle-free
    machines, where the Kth digit of the diagonal is the Kth output digit of
    the Kth circle-free machine ... something u still haven't grasped,
    because u refuse to consider his *actual* argument

    u don't have to read the whole paper pete, just p247 would suffice for
    the core uncomputable paradox he bases the rest of his paper on


    whether that answer is provable or computable is a different question

    So you are incapable of showing a MATERIAL difference
    even though you really really believe such a MATERIAL

    yes, post what his machine does in psuedo-code


    So you do not understand actual real code?

    no i just want u to work thru his logic peter and a psuedo-code >>>>>>> sketch of what he was getting at, at the level he reasoned ...

    no idea what ur being so resistant, i'm curious as to how your
    ideas might apply but ur refusing to even look into the matter


    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent
    decades on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state transformation
    functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts or not >>>
    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of
    whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    because he was trying to define the logic to compute an actual
    computable sequence pete: the direct diagonal across all circle-free machines, where the Kth digit of the diagonal is the Kth output digit of
    the Kth circle-free machine ... something u still haven't grasped,
    because u refuse to consider his *actual* argument


    That turns out to be exactly analogous to the Gödel numbers
    argument where all of the actual inference steps are hidden.
    This only shows that the number is not computable and totally
    hides why it is uncomputable.

    The Linz proof shows how and why in the most concrete
    way (specific state changes) that is also the simplest. https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    HHH/DD shows these inference steps as fully operational code https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
    For three years now.

    <MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>
    If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its
    input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D
    would never stop running unless aborted then

    H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
    specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
    </MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>

    u don't have to read the whole paper pete, just p247 would suffice for
    the core uncomputable paradox he bases the rest of his paper on


    whether that answer is provable or computable is a different question

    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and
    and why they are logical impossible.

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent
    decades on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state transformation
    functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts or
    not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of
    whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    because he was trying to define the logic to compute an actual
    computable sequence pete: the direct diagonal across all circle-free
    machines, where the Kth digit of the diagonal is the Kth output digit
    of the Kth circle-free machine ... something u still haven't grasped,
    because u refuse to consider his *actual* argument


    That turns out to be exactly analogous to the Gödel numbers
    argument where all of the actual inference steps are hidden.
    This only shows that the number is not computable and totally
    hides why it is uncomputable.

    so you agree with turing???


    The Linz proof shows how and why in the most concrete
    way (specific state changes) that is also the simplest. https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    HHH/DD shows these inference steps as fully operational code https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
    For three years now.

        If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its
        input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D
        would never stop running unless aborted then

        H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D

    u don't have to read the whole paper pete, just p247 would suffice for

    whether that answer is provable or computable is a different question

    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent >>>>>>>> decades on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state
    transformation functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts >>>>>> or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of
    whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    because he was trying to define the logic to compute an actual
    computable sequence pete: the direct diagonal across all circle-free
    machines, where the Kth digit of the diagonal is the Kth output
    digit of the Kth circle-free machine ... something u still haven't
    grasped, because u refuse to consider his *actual* argument


    That turns out to be exactly analogous to the Gödel numbers
    argument where all of the actual inference steps are hidden.
    This only shows that the number is not computable and totally
    hides why it is uncomputable.

    so you agree with turing???


    Turing (as I just explained is a cheap copy cat of Gödel).

    calling turing a cheap copy cat of godel is pretty rich since he
    invented the foundational model of computing that the rest of our infrastructure is built off of ... that was a pretty damn functional achievement vs whatever tf godel did.

    i get the math guys all take it up the butt about his supposedly
    ingenious "truth that has no proof", but what a meaningless claim to get
    all excited about

    Modern versions such as Linz don't look so cheap.

    turing's version isn't a contrived issue. it was a result of considering
    the functional problem of being able to compute the limit of computable numbers, and what might happen if we could...

    how does your solution relate to *actual* diagonal problem as presented
    by turing? are you suggesting we just skip machines deemed "invalid
    input"? or something else?



    The Linz proof shows how and why in the most concrete
    way (specific state changes) that is also the simplest.
    https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    HHH/DD shows these inference steps as fully operational code
    https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
    For three years now.

    Introduction to the Theory of Computation 3rd Edition

    <MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>
         If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its
         input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D
         would never stop running unless aborted then

         H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
         specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
    </MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>

    u don't have to read the whole paper pete, just p247 would suffice
    for the core uncomputable paradox he bases the rest of his paper on


    whether that answer is provable or computable is a different question >>>>>>

    false.

    The first incompleteness theorem sentence
    has a cycle in the directed graph of its
    evaluation sequence making it semantically
    incoherent.

    This kind of semantically incoherence is
    foundational in proof theoretic semantics.

    Nice to see that you don't disagree.

    Gödel's G is merely semantically incoherent when
    examined within the foundation of Proof Theoretic
    Semantics.

    As a sentence of natural number arithmetic it only needs be
    meaningful
    in the sempantics of natural number arithmetic.

    Yes and Proof Theoretic Semantics defines its notion
    of truth only within the finite inference steps of
    the formal system. This means that anything that is
    unprovable in PA is untrue in PA.

    By the rules of PA the sentence G ∨ ¬G where G is Gödel's sentence >>>> is a theorem.

    It is provable (and actually proven by Gödel( in the metatheory
    that neither G nor ¬G is provable in Peano arithmetic. This follows
    from the way G is constructed.

    Yet switching to a meta-theory is cheating in PTS.

    As PTS is a metatheory, switching to PTS is cheating.

    Use of metatheory is needed in order to answer qeusstions about a
    theory, for example whether G is a theorem of Peano arithmetic, and
    questions about two or more theories, for example whether two theories
    are equivalent.

    When G and ~G cannot be proven directly in PA then in
    the standard conventional PTS G has no meaning in PA.
    Regardless what PTS says, as an arithmetic sentence G has an arithmetic
    meaning.


    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential, as
    it is inferential activity which manifests itself in proofs.
    ...inferences and the rules of inference establish the
    meaning of expressions.

    Schroeder-Heister, Peter, 2024 "Proof-Theoretic Semantics" https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/proof-theoretic-semantics/ #InfeIntuAntiReal

    Provable(PA, φ) := ∃Γ ⊂ PA(Γ ⊣ φ)
    There exists a finite set Γ of inference steps of PA such that φ
    is back-chained to PA can ALWAYS be resolved in directly in SOL. Has_Meaning_PTS(PA, φ) := Provable(PA, φ)

    The arithmetic semantics assigns meanings to symbols like 0 or + as
    well as tems and formulas. Does proof-theoretic semantics do that?

    It has the fully developed complete basis for rejecting

    Rejecting an input is not useful when an answwer to some question
    about the input is needed.

    OK then that would mean that your own inability
    to answer this question makes you stupid:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"

    Answers or non-answers to questions don't make stupid. They may
    reveal already existing stupidity, though that usually takes
    more than one question. Whoever asks the above question is likely
    to look stupid.

    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state
    transformation functions that define the runtime of the machine

    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it halts >>>>>>> or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of >>>>>>> whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    because he was trying to define the logic to compute an actual
    computable sequence pete: the direct diagonal across all circle-
    free machines, where the Kth digit of the diagonal is the Kth
    output digit of the Kth circle-free machine ... something u still
    haven't grasped, because u refuse to consider his *actual* argument


    That turns out to be exactly analogous to the Gödel numbers
    argument where all of the actual inference steps are hidden.
    This only shows that the number is not computable and totally
    hides why it is uncomputable.

    so you agree with turing???


    Turing (as I just explained is a cheap copy cat of Gödel).

    calling turing a cheap copy cat of godel is pretty rich since he
    invented the foundational model of computing that the rest of our infrastructure is built off of ...  that was a pretty damn functional achievement vs whatever tf godel did.


    On with regards to his https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf
    He is the father of modern computation and deserves the
    away named after his on this basis.

    My other post had all the important stuff that you
    just ignored.

    i get the math guys all take it up the butt about his supposedly
    ingenious "truth that has no proof", but what a meaningless claim to get
    all excited about

    Modern versions such as Linz don't look so cheap.

    turing's version isn't a contrived issue. it was a result of considering
    the functional problem of being able to compute the limit of computable numbers, and what might happen if we could...

    how does your solution relate to *actual* diagonal problem as presented
    by turing? are you suggesting we just skip machines deemed "invalid
    input"? or something else?



    The Linz proof shows how and why in the most concrete
    way (specific state changes) that is also the simplest.

    The first incompleteness theorem sentence
    has a cycle in the directed graph of its
    evaluation sequence making it semantically
    incoherent.

    This kind of semantically incoherence is
    foundational in proof theoretic semantics.

    Nice to see that you don't disagree.

    Gödel's G is merely semantically incoherent when
    examined within the foundation of Proof Theoretic
    Semantics.

    As a sentence of natural number arithmetic it only needs be
    meaningful
    in the sempantics of natural number arithmetic.

    Yes and Proof Theoretic Semantics defines its notion
    of truth only within the finite inference steps of
    the formal system. This means that anything that is
    unprovable in PA is untrue in PA.

    By the rules of PA the sentence G ∨ ¬G where G is Gödel's sentence >>>>> is a theorem.

    It is provable (and actually proven by Gödel( in the metatheory

    Yet switching to a meta-theory is cheating in PTS.

    As PTS is a metatheory, switching to PTS is cheating.

    Use of metatheory is needed in order to answer qeusstions about a
    theory, for example whether G is a theorem of Peano arithmetic, and
    questions about two or more theories, for example whether two theories
    are equivalent.

    When G and ~G cannot be proven directly in PA then in
    the standard conventional PTS G has no meaning in PA.
    Regardless what PTS says, as an arithmetic sentence G has an arithmetic
    meaning.


    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential, as
    it is inferential activity which manifests itself in proofs.
    ...inferences and the rules of inference establish the

    Has_Meaning_PTS(PA, φ) := Provable(PA, φ)

    The arithmetic semantics assigns meanings to symbols like 0 or + as

    How is proof-theoretic semantics better than the usual concept of
    provability?

    It has the fully developed complete basis for rejecting
    semantically incoherent inputs.

    Rejecting an input is not useful when an answwer to some question
    about the input is needed.

    OK then that would mean that your own inability
    to answer this question makes you stupid:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"

    Answers or non-answers to questions don't make stupid. They may
    reveal already existing stupidity, though that usually takes
    more than one question. Whoever asks the above question is likely
    to look stupid.


    The problem with "undecidability" is that it requires
    correct answers to incorrect questions. When we toss
    out the inputs whose inference steps within the semantics
    of the inference language do not specify a well-founded
    justification tree, then we reject this input as
    not-well-formed.

    I refuse to "look into" any logical impossibilities
    and instead try to effectively communicate how and

    Can you understand that "looking into" logical
    impossibilities is necessarily fruitless?

    ok so you actually agree with consensus??? what have you spent >>>>>>>>>> decades on then bro??? lol

    jeez this is so tiring


    The answer to the question:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"
    also does not limit computation in any way at all.
    Logical impossible inputs are incorrect questions.


    that's a false analogy bro


    All impossible questions are exactly equally impossible

    DD _is_ a machine, specifically a finite set of state
    transformation functions that define the runtime of the machine >>>>>>>>
    consequentially, DD _has_ a semantic property of whether it
    halts or not

    it is then necessarily _valid_ to ask the true/false question of >>>>>>>> whether DD halt or not?


    It is absolutely impossible when the input does the
    opposite of whatever HHH reports. Why did Turing not
    see this in the first five minutes?

    because he was trying to define the logic to compute an actual
    computable sequence pete: the direct diagonal across all circle-
    free machines, where the Kth digit of the diagonal is the Kth
    output digit of the Kth circle-free machine ... something u still >>>>>> haven't grasped, because u refuse to consider his *actual* argument >>>>>>

    That turns out to be exactly analogous to the Gödel numbers
    argument where all of the actual inference steps are hidden.
    This only shows that the number is not computable and totally
    hides why it is uncomputable.

    so you agree with turing???


    Turing (as I just explained is a cheap copy cat of Gödel).

    calling turing a cheap copy cat of godel is pretty rich since he
    invented the foundational model of computing that the rest of our
    infrastructure is built off of ...  that was a pretty damn functional
    achievement vs whatever tf godel did.


    On with regards to his https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf
    He is the father of modern computation and deserves the
    away named after his on this basis.

    My other post had all the important stuff that you
    just ignored.

    i'm sorry how this answer for what to do about "invalid input" while
    computing the diagonal???


    i get the math guys all take it up the butt about his supposedly
    ingenious "truth that has no proof", but what a meaningless claim to
    get all excited about

    Modern versions such as Linz don't look so cheap.

    turing's version isn't a contrived issue. it was a result of
    considering the functional problem of being able to compute the limit
    of computable numbers, and what might happen if we could...

    how does your solution relate to *actual* diagonal problem as
    presented by turing? are you suggesting we just skip machines deemed
    "invalid input"? or something else?



    The Linz proof shows how and why in the most concrete
    way (specific state changes) that is also the simplest.
    https://www.liarparadox.org/Peter_Linz_HP_317-320.pdf

    HHH/DD shows these inference steps as fully operational code
    https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
    For three years now.

    Only when the convoluted mess of the diagonal is translated
    into is simplified essence of the Linz proof can the notion
    of "invalid input" be understood. Likewise for Gödel's convoluted
    mess until it is translated into this simplification:

    F ⊢ GF ↔ ¬ProvF(⌜GF⌝) https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/goedel-incompleteness/#FirIncTheCom

    Olcott's Minimal Type Theory
    G ↔ ¬Prov_PA(⌜G⌝)
    Directed Graph of evaluation sequence
    00 ↔ 01 02
    01 G
    02 ¬ 03
    03 Prov_PA 04
    04 Gödel_Number_of 01 // cycle

    Within the above directed graph of its evaluation sequence.

    BEGIN:(Gödel 1931:39-41)
    We are therefore confronted with a proposition which asserts its own unprovability. 15

    Only when the convoluted mess of the diagonal is translated

    the diagonal isn't a convoluted mess polcott, all we're doing is

    - enumerating out the machines (by iterating over the natural numbers)
    - testing each possible machine for circle-freeness
    - adding the Kth digit of the Kth circle-free machine to the diagonal

    what do we do for machines which test "invalid input"?

    It had a severe typo on its last line.
    That you do not know what it means is
    no measure what-so-ever that it has no meaning.

    KnownTrue := Γ∃ ⊂ PA(Γ ⊣ φ)

    That's not what you wrote above (you've added the quantifier ∃), and it still doesn't mean anything coherent.

    You're apparently defining some constant called "KnownTrue" to mean that 'there exists Γ' is a proper subset of some undefined set called PA(Γ ⊣ φ)

    "There exists Γ" isn't the sort of thing that can be a proper subset of something else. It's q quantifier which expects a formula as an
    argument, not an operators like ⊂.

    You *might* be trying to say something along the lines of

    KnownTrue(φ) := Γ∃ PA(Γ ⊣ φ)

    but that's not what you wrote. And you've left it up to the reader to determine what PA is supposed to refer to. I am assuming you might
    intend PA(Γ ⊣ φ) to mean something along the lines of φ is provable from Γ in Peano Arithmetic, but you need to actually state that.

    KnownFalse := ∃Γ ⊂ PA(Γ ⊣ ¬φ)

    Same problem as with the previous

    Unknown(PA, φ)  := ¬KnownTrue(PA, φ) ∧ ¬KnownFalse(PA, φ)

    Which isn't at all what you wrote originally.

    i'm sorry how this answer for what to do about "invalid input" while
    computing the diagonal???


    Only when the convoluted mess of the diagonal is translated

    the diagonal isn't a convoluted mess polcott, all we're doing is

    - enumerating out the machines (by iterating over the natural numbers)
    - testing each possible machine for circle-freeness
    - adding the Kth digit of the Kth circle-free machine to the diagonal

    what do we do for machines which test "invalid input"?


    This one is the clearest diagonal proof https://www.liarparadox.org/Sipser_165_167.pdf

    All diagonal proofs always totally ignore WHY halting
    is undecidable and only prove THAT halting is undecidable.

    That is like firing a guy for not showing up for

    The first incompleteness theorem sentence
    has a cycle in the directed graph of its

    incoherent.

    This kind of semantically incoherence is
    foundational in proof theoretic semantics.

    Nice to see that you don't disagree.

    Gödel's G is merely semantically incoherent when
    examined within the foundation of Proof Theoretic
    Semantics.

    As a sentence of natural number arithmetic it only needs be
    meaningful
    in the sempantics of natural number arithmetic.

    Yes and Proof Theoretic Semantics defines its notion
    of truth only within the finite inference steps of
    the formal system. This means that anything that is
    unprovable in PA is untrue in PA.

    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential, as it
    is inferential activity which manifests itself in proofs.
    ...inferences and the rules of inference establish the meaning
    of expressions

    How is proof-theoretic semantics better than the usual concept of
    provability?

    It has the fully developed complete basis for rejecting
    semantically incoherent inputs.

    Rejecting an input is not useful when an answwer to some question
    about the input is needed.

    OK then that would mean that your own inability
    to answer this question makes you stupid:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"

    Answers or non-answers to questions don't make stupid. They may
    reveal already existing stupidity, though that usually takes
    more than one question. Whoever asks the above question is likely
    to look stupid.


    The problem with "undecidability" is that it requires
    correct answers to incorrect questions. When we toss
    out the inputs whose inference steps within the semantics
    of the inference language do not specify a well-founded
    justification tree, then we reject this input as
    not-well-formed.


    What's a well-founded justification tree
    of a well-founded justification tree?



    Methinks it's better to just leave this alone.

    It had a severe typo on its last line.
    That you do not know what it means is

    That's not what you wrote above (you've added the quantifier ∃), and >>>> it still doesn't mean anything coherent.

    You're apparently defining some constant called "KnownTrue" to mean
    that 'there exists Γ' is a proper subset of some undefined set
    called PA(Γ ⊣ φ)

    "There exists Γ" isn't the sort of thing that can be a proper subset >>>> of something else. It's q quantifier which expects a formula as an
    argument, not an operators like ⊂.

    You *might* be trying to say something along the lines of

    KnownTrue(φ) := Γ∃ PA(Γ ⊣ φ)

    but that's not what you wrote. And you've left it up to the reader
    to determine what PA is supposed to refer to. I am assuming you
    might intend PA(Γ ⊣ φ) to mean something along the lines of φ is >>>> provable from Γ in Peano Arithmetic, but you need to actually state
    that.

    KnownFalse := ∃Γ ⊂ PA(Γ ⊣ ¬φ)


    KnownTrue(PA, φ) := ∃Γ ⊂ PA(Γ ⊣ φ)

    There exists a sequence of inference steps in PA
    such that a back-chained sequence of these steps
    reaches the axioms of PA.

    The point is that you always insist on writing things as formulae when
    more often than not you mangle them into something unintelligible.

    You simply don't know how to write formulae and you be better off to
    simply stop doing so until you actually become competent at it. You're
    much better off simply writing what you mean in clear English and
    dispensing with all the formalism.

    And what you have above still makes no sense. why is there a ⊂ there?
    You can't follow ∃Γ with a ⊂.

    On reflection, I wonder if you might be trying to say:

    KnownTrue(PA, φ) := ∃Γ ⊣ φ((Γ ⊂ PA) ∧ (Γ ⊣ φ))

    The above is not a quote from me. Please do not attribute it to me. You

    i'm sorry how this answer for what to do about "invalid input" while
    computing the diagonal???


    Only when the convoluted mess of the diagonal is translated

    the diagonal isn't a convoluted mess polcott, all we're doing is

    - enumerating out the machines (by iterating over the natural numbers)
    - testing each possible machine for circle-freeness
    - adding the Kth digit of the Kth circle-free machine to the diagonal

    what do we do for machines which test "invalid input"?


    This one is the clearest diagonal proof https://www.liarparadox.org/Sipser_165_167.pdf

    All diagonal proofs always totally ignore WHY halting
    is undecidable and only prove THAT halting is undecidable.

    again, that's kind of an arbitrary diagonal ...

    turing's diagonal is attempting to do something functional across all circle-free machines, names the Kth digit of the Kth machine.

    if we accept ur resolution which is that the diagonal is "invalid input"
    to a circle-free decider, then what is the diagonal supposed to do when
    that's encountered?

    just skip the machine and not put it on the diagonal?

    It's quite agreeable that anything that can be formalized in symbolic
    notation may be formalized in sufficiently un-ambiguous natural
    language. One example account of this is the Herbrand semantics,
    which basically intends to relay that any account of formalism has
    any number of accounts in natural language. I'm a bit against the
    Montague semantics, since it's more the flakier Berkeley school, so
    it's often exploiting the empty set and the like with material
    implication, so I'd generally rather see a description according to
    the Herbrand semantics.

    About issues of un-decide-ability beyond "in-sufficient information",
    i.e., how people pass the SAT with the process of elimination and
    the like or "logic", then there are "quantifier ambiguity" and then
    the "impredicativity" to get sorted out, while "syncategorematical"
    is quite a dense term here as about quantifier ambiguity and
    impredicativity.

    It might help to start with familiarization with the little language
    of mathematical proof like "there exists" and "such that" and though
    usually not to be getting right into "without loss of generality",
    then about something like Proclus' account of Euclid for the "quod
    erat demonstrandum" and "quod erat fasciendum". For most of 2000
    years those would be expected to be known.

    Ultimately my system must fully formalize natural language and
    Montague Grammar sure did extend Rudolf Carnap Meaning Postulates
    much farther. Alternatively there is the CycL language of the
    Cyc project.

    About issues of un-decide-ability beyond "in-sufficient information",
    i.e., how people pass the SAT with the process of elimination and
    the like or "logic", then there are "quantifier ambiguity" and then
    the "impredicativity" to get sorted out, while "syncategorematical"
    is quite a dense term here as about quantifier ambiguity and
    impredicativity.


    Simply Incoherent
    Russell's paradox is a famous example of an impredicative construction—namely the set of all sets that do not contain themselves.
    The paradox is that such a set cannot exist: If it were to exist, the
    question could be asked whether it contains itself or not—if it does
    then by definition it should not, and if it does not then by definition
    it should.

    It might help to start with familiarization with the little language
    of mathematical proof like "there exists" and "such that" and though
    usually not to be getting right into "without loss of generality",
    then about something like Proclus' account of Euclid for the "quod
    erat demonstrandum" and "quod erat fasciendum". For most of 2000
    years those would be expected to be known.

    As a sentence of natural number arithmetic it only needs be

    Yes and Proof Theoretic Semantics defines its notion

    How is proof-theoretic semantics better than the usual concept of

    It has the fully developed complete basis for rejecting

    Rejecting an input is not useful when an answwer to some question
    about the input is needed.

    OK then that would mean that your own inability
    to answer this question makes you stupid:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"

    Answers or non-answers to questions don't make stupid. They may
    reveal already existing stupidity, though that usually takes
    more than one question. Whoever asks the above question is likely
    to look stupid.

    The problem with "undecidability" is that it requires
    correct answers to incorrect questions.

    No, it isn't. It does not require any answers to any questions.
    It is merely a name of the phenomeon that in some systems there

    Sometimes it is not known whether some syntactically correct sentence

    So there does not currently exist any current

    I'm saying you should stop *worrying* about how to say it
    symbolically (since you always make a mess of it)

    If I only say it with words math people will dismiss it as

    People aren't going to dismiss it for using words rather than

    So far you have not managed to state anything in a way that remotely
    resembles mathematical rigor; You've just perfected the art of writing
    syntactically ill-formed "formulae" which are largely gibberish.

    If you're really determined to write things in formulae, you should
    first take a course or two in introductory logic where you might
    actually learn how logical notation works.

    Nice to see you don't disagree.


    You only say that when you ignoire4 what I said.
    The above quote says unprovable means nonsensical
    thus not undecidable.

    Sometimes it is not known whether some syntactically correct sentence
    is a theorem or the negation of a theorem or neither. If you can't
    ask the question you will never find out.

    Self-contradiction inserts cycles in the directed
    graph of resolution sequences of expressions.

    Which of A ∨ (¬A ∨ B), A ∧ (¬A ∨ B), and A ∧ (¬A ∧ B) has cycles in
    its evaluation graph?


    I don't see any cycles.

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    This required establishing a new foundation

    The first incompleteness theorem sentence
    has a cycle in the directed graph of its
    evaluation sequence making it semantically
    incoherent.

    This kind of semantically incoherence is
    foundational in proof theoretic semantics.

    Nice to see that you don't disagree.

    Gödel's G is merely semantically incoherent when
    examined within the foundation of Proof Theoretic

    Yes and Proof Theoretic Semantics defines its notion
    of truth only within the finite inference steps of
    the formal system. This means that anything that is
    unprovable in PA is untrue in PA.

    Proof-theoretic semantics is inherently inferential, as it >>>>>>>>>>> is inferential activity which manifests itself in proofs. >>>>>>>>>>> ...inferences and the rules of inference establish the meaning >>>>>>>>>>> of expressions

    OK then that would mean that your own inability
    to answer this question makes you stupid:
    "What time is it (yes or no)?"

    Answers or non-answers to questions don't make stupid. They may
    reveal already existing stupidity, though that usually takes
    more than one question. Whoever asks the above question is likely
    to look stupid.

    The problem with "undecidability" is that it requires
    correct answers to incorrect questions.

    No, it isn't. It does not require any answers to any questions.
    It is merely a name of the phenomeon that in some systems there
    are syntactically correct sentences that are neither theorems
    nor negations of theorems.

    syntactically correct AND semantically incoherent
    usually through self-contradiction.

    If a syntactically corret sentence is semantically incorrect you
    are using either wrong syntax or wrong semantics. You should
    keep what serves your purposes and change what doesn't.

    Colorless green ideas sleep furiously was composed by
    Noam Chomsky in his 1957 book Syntactic Structures as
    an example of a sentence that is grammatically well-formed,
    but semantically nonsensical.

    That is possible in a natural langaage, and needs to be in order to
    keep the language fexible enough for various human needs. Formal
    languages are designed for more restricted purposes where rigidity
    serves better than flexibility. For those purposes it is usally
    better to design the syntax of the language so that there is an
    interpretation where every syntactically correct sentence makes
    sense. For example, every sentence of the first order Peano arithmetic
    makes sense when interpreted in the arithmetic of natural numbers.

    When DD is simulated by proof theoretic halt prover

    tree. The only inputs left out are semantically unsound.

    This cannot possibly be sufficiently understood until
    one first becomes a truth theoretic semantics expert.

    Maybe you can¨t undderstand it sufficiently. Others can.

    The sentence A ∧ (¬A ∧ B) is self-contradictory. WHere are the sycles
