Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy ∞ // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts
Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt

When this is executed in an Olcott machine then
Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <Ĥ> is a different computation than H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <H>

No matter how Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ screws itself up this can have no
effect on H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩.

The Olcott machine H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <H> can see that it does not
call itself in recursive simulation.

The Olcott machine Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <Ĥ> can see that it calls
itself in recursive simulation unless it discards this
ability. In either case it cannot fool H, it either halts
or fails to halt.

D simulated by H cannot possibly halt even if we simplify it to this:

void D(void (*x)())
{ H(x, x);
}

Perhaps you didn't understand the question. How is a machine broken if
it always gives the right answer?

Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts

An Olcott machine Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <Ĥ> could trivially determine
that it is calling itself in recursive simulation.

and Olcott machine H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <H> could trivially determine
that it is NOT calling itself in recursive simulation.

This is true even when the embedded portion of H is
identical to <H>.

WHY?

The Master UTM will not change the usage at H^.H, because that is just
an internal state of the Machine H^

At that point we have the IDENTICAL set of transitions (with just an
equivalence mapping of state numbers) as H will have, and the EXACT same
input as H

As will the machine at H^.H, since the description it thinks it is
doesn't match the machine that gets called.

But that isn't what H^.H gets called with.

The code between H^.q0 and H^.H removes the <H^> and replaces it with
<H>, so the copy of H at H^.H can't tell the difference.

You don't seem to understand what a Turing Machine CAN do.

Nope, only if H actually does (or attempts to do) a complete simulation.

If H actually aborts its simulation and return 0, then a CORRECT
simulation of the input to H will halt.

So, you are stuck, because Computations are based on deterministic
algorithms. Either H's algorithm WILL continue to simulate through every
thing it sees in its simulation of D, and then neither machine will
halt, so H doesn't answer and is wrong.

Or H gives up and decides it needs to stop to give an answer, but then,
not seeing what D will do, is forced to "Guess", (and will always guess
this input the same way) and when we actually run D, it gets to see how
H guesses, and makes it wrong.

You keep on presuming that the H in D will be somehow different then the
H that is deciding on it, which is just a LIE.

The ONLY thing that the master UTM does differently is append
the TMD to the TMD's own tape.

it is stipulated by the definition of Olcott machines
Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <Ĥ> // last element is <Ĥ> (not H)
H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <H> // last element is <H> (not Ĥ)
That the last element of the input to Ĥ.H and H <is> different.

A simply string comparison of the finite strings
⟨Ĥ⟩ and <Ĥ> proves that they are the same.

Olcott machines always append the TMD to the end of the tape
of this TMD.

This means that they are an actual input to every TMD that
does not ignore them.

Ĥ cannot possibly do this because it has no access to nor

My point is that the infinite loop has no effect what-so-ever on

input such as either version of D.

Not at all. Olcott machines can do something that no Turing machine
can possibly do correctly determine that they themselves are called
in recursive simulation.

This same extra input that H(D,D) and H1(D,D) has is what enables
them to correctly compute different values.

I presume nothing and proved that Olcott machines have a power
that Turing machines do not have. They can (just like H and H1)
correctly determine when they themselves are called in recursive
simulation.

Right, so it gives H and H^ that input.

H^ can erase that input and replace it.

Nope.

H^.H isn't a "Olcott Machine" it is a sub-machine of H^

Your Master UTM can't touch the tape here or it totally breaks the system.

It can only add the description at the beginning, as it doesn't know
what state in that machine are "sub-machines" and what are just parts of
the machine running.

You don't seem to understand much about Turing machines.

I seem to remember you bailed out after like the first part of the first
lesson.

So H^ STARTS with <H^> at the end. The Tape, BY DEFINITION, is writable.

That is sort of one problem with your x86UTM, its "tape" equivalent was
Read Only since it was executable code space.

Of course it know about the ONE H that it is on a mission to make wrong.

So that H, and only that H gets confonded.

You sure seem dumb about that.

Right, but the fact that D uses a copy of H does. H CAN'T just simulate
the input to the decision point, as if that is what is coded, it runs
forever. (YOu have shown that).

So, it MUST abort its simulation at some point in its execution trace,
which is BEFORE the simulated machine has shown H what this copy of
itself will do.

Nope.

Correct Simulation of the input (not by the decider) ALWAYS has a
definite behavior for any definite machine.

The paradox occurs when trying to DESIGN H, so you don't even HAVE an H
to ask about until you come up with an (incorrect) resolution of the
Paradox.

Nope. Since H^ can LIE to the copy of H at H^.H, that H can't tell if it
is actually simulating a copy of the machine it is part of.

Right, a TOP LEVEL H can detect if it is given the exact same
description of itself. SInce D has an H with a different description
(since the states have been remaped to arbitrary new state number) H can
no tell the D is using a copy of H.

The copy of H used by D, can be given the Description of a top level H,
instead of the description of H^, and so it can't tell that it is
getting into the recursive loop.

Thus, none of the H's will EVER abort their simulation.

You already know that there is no such thing as sub-machines of
Turing machines. Turing machines have a set of states and a tape.
They have no sub-machines.

The master UTM is merely an ordinary UTM that always appends
the slaves TMD to the slaves tape. That is all that there is
to the master UTM.

An ordinary UTM writes the input to the slaves tape.
The master UTM of Olcott machines simply adds one more step to this.

The master UTM is merely an ordinary UTM that always appends
the slaves TMD to the slaves tape. That is all that there is
to the master UTM.

You can't point out an errors because there are no errors.
You keep saying things at least slightly incorrectly like
sub-machines of Turing machines, there is no such thing.

I have no idea what you are saying yet the only category that

A "Sub-Machine" of a Turing Machine is where you put a copy of another
Turing Machine into the state space of the overall/parent machine,

When the machine H^ reaches the state H^.H, then it encounters the EXACT
sequence of states (after the eqivalence mapping generated when
inserting them H's q0 -> H^.Hqo and so on)

It is called a sub-machine because it acts largely as if that Turing
Machihe "called" the equivalent Turing Machine as a subroutine, only the
machine code was expanded "inline".

Right, so it can't change the tape when H^ enters state H^.H and then
runs the exact sequence of steps if the machine H with the exact same

Right.

Right. so it can't interfere with H^ "lying" to the copy of H that it
has at H^.H to make it think it is the top level machine running.

Sure there is.

You are just too dumb to understand.

In fact, if you actually try to do work with Turing Machines, the
concept of sub-machines is important to manage the complexity.

Yes, the actual encoding of the Turing Machine doesn't indicate that a
submachine exist at a location, except maybe the state names (which get
lost when you "compile" them into numbers) but often at the design level
they show up in the names.

Why do you think the state is called H^.Hq0, that is the q0 state of the
H sub-machine of the Turing Machine H^.

There is no way that any conventional Turing machine can tell
that the states of another Turing machine are embedded withing it.

Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <Ĥ> immediately detects that is about to simulate a
copy of itself with a copy of its own input thus immediately
detects recursive simulation just like H(D,D).

H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <H> immediately detects that is NOT about to simulate a
copy of itself with a copy of its own input thus immediately
rejects recursive simulation just like H1(D,D).

It doesn't need to "KNOW", but it HAS THEM there.

It was DESIGNED that way, so the programmer knows what he did.

I think your brain popped a gasket somewhere and is frantically trying
to make sense of the world that is crashind down around you.

As the machine address of one machine is not the same as the other
they interprete "I" differently. Therefore they interpreter the
question differently, i.e., as different qurestions.

My C functions H(D,D) and H1(D,D) can tell if they have been
called in recursive simulation.

Olcott machines provide this same feature to Turing Machines.
The master UTM appends the TMD to the end of the simulated
machine's own tape.

Olcott machines are simply reconfigured Turing machines where
the master UTM appends the TMD to the simulated machines own tape.

Let's first determine that Olcott machines refute
the uncomputability of the Peter Linz ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩.

Because my cancer came back in less than 24 months that
means I don't have time for endless divergence.

The copy of
H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <H>
is not
Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <Ĥ>

it is actually
Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <H>

this is easily done by deleting <Ĥ> from the tape and inserting <H>

Peter Linz Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ is a Turing machine. The exact same proof does not work
for Olcott machines because they are different. A different proof proves
that Olcott machines cannot compute the halting problem. I have already
told you this proof (but not in great detail).

Because my cancer came back too quickly (in less than 24 months)
I can't afford the time to diverge from Linz until I have closure
on Linz. I am on year 4.2 of a 50% five year mortality rate.

Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <Ĥ> ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn
therefore
H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <H> ⊢* H.qy

I am working on the computability of the halting problem
(the exact same TMD / input pairs) by a slightly augmented
notion of Turing machines as elaborated below:

Olcott machines are entirely comprised of a UTM + TMD and one
extra step that any UTM could perform, append the TMD to the end
of its own tape.

Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy ∞ // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts
Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt

Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <Ĥ> ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn
therefore
H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ <H> ⊢* H.qy

Olcott machines take Turing Machine Descriptions.
Thus an Olcott machine does compute halting for
the Linz H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩.

You are the one diverging here.

Here is the closure on Linz: It does not apply to Olcott machines
because it is only a proof about Turing machines. For Olcott machines
you need a different proof.
