For any program H that might determine whether programs
halt, a "pathological" program D, called with some input,
can pass its own source and its input to H and then
specifically do the opposite of what H predicts D will do.
No H can exist that handles this case.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem

When you ask a man that has never been married:
Have you stopped beating your wife?
https://groups.google.com/g/sci.lang/c/AO5Vlupeelo/m/nxJy7N2vULwJ

Although there is a mapping from some men to YES/NO
there is no mapping from never married men to YES/NO
thus the question is incorrect for all unmarried men.

Although there is a mapping from some TM/input pairs to YES/NO
there is no mapping from H/D to YES/NO
thus the question is incorrect for H/D

Yes, but the correct answer for the question given to H exists.

Which is a different issue.

Invalid, because it asks about a non-existant person.
Also, because it presumes facts that are not true.

But the question isn't mapping H/D, it is mapping the Machine described
by the input (and its input) to if it reaches a final state, which has
an answer, depend on the specifics of the problem, that needed to have
specifed before you could ever actually ask the question.

You are just LYING about what the question actually is.

It's a different D for every H. A lot of Hs correctly handle Ds for
other Hs.

> When you ask a man that has never been married:
> Have you stopped beating your wife?

the correct answer is no.

> Although there is a mapping from some men to YES/NO

the correct answer is no.

> there is no mapping from H/D to YES/NO
H(D) isn't valid input since H has two inputs.

That affirms a false presupposition thus cannot be correct.

there is no mapping from H(D,D) to YES/NO

There is no mapping from
(a) Specific TM: H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)
(b) Specific unmarried_man to stopped_beating_wife(YES/NO)

There is no mapping from
(a) Specific TM: H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)
(b) Specific unmarried_man to stopped_beating_wife(YES/NO)

(a) and (b) are isomorphic.

That <is> one half of the mapping.
To be isomorphic
mapping from specific_unmarried_man to stopped_beating_wife(YES/NO)
we must have mapping from specific TM: H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)

It now seems to me that you never were lying.
The philosophical foundation of these things is very difficult.

It is when you and others ridiculously disagreed with the dead
obvious totally verified facts of the actual behavior behavior
of H1(D,D) and H(D,D) that gave me sufficient reason to conclude
that you and others were lying.

The actual truth seems to be that you and others were so biased
against my position on that you and others persistently ignored
my proof that I was correct many many dozens of times.

Even when I said show me the error in the execution trace many
many times you and others totally failed.

H(D,D) -> YES

and

H(D,D) -> NO

are two mappings

the mapping is from every unmarried_man to NO.

Which s a lying comment since nothing in the question asks for one.

The question ask for the mapping from D,D to Halts(D,D), which exists.
Remeber, the question is, and only is:

Does the Machine and Input described by the input Halt when run.

Thus, H only gets ivolved when we are CHECKING the answer.

Only in that H doesn't exist, as oesn't the man's wife.

Which is just a Red Herring, because we are NOT asking about what H
does, but about what its input represents and what H needs to do to be
correct.

No, we are biased to the truth.

But the queston isn't about the execution trace, it is the comparison of
the Behavior of the Computation represented by the input (which you
almost NEVER show, because it shows that you lying) and the answer that
the decider gives.

There is no mapping from the specific TM/input pair:
H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)

I always have to have you and Richard point the bugs in my words.
There is no mapping from the specific TM/input pair H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)

The logical law of polar questions
Feb 20, 2015, 11:38:48 AM sci.lang

When posed to a man whom has never been married,
the question: Have you stopped beating your wife?
Is an incorrect polar question because neither yes nor
no is a correct answer.

Yes it always was.

You disagreed with the proven facts.

That is a ridiculously false statement. I always show all of the
details of the simulated D thus conclusively proving that it was
simulated correctly. You always denied these completely proven facts.

Which isn't the mapping the question asks about.

That would be mre like what decider gets the Halting Question right the
pathological input?

Not, Does the input Halt when run?

Look at the wrong question and of course you get the wrong answer.

And repeatedly doing that is just another form of DECEPTION and LYING.

The QUESTION ask for the mapping of D D -> {Halting, Non-Halting}

anything else is just a LIE.

So, you continue to lie about that.

I guess you are just incurably stupid.

Do you still remember the question of the Halting Problem?

How is it about the execution trace of what H or H1 sees?

The question asks NOTHING about that, so you are just proving yourself
stupid.

Nope.

A correctly simulated D, when H(D,D) returns 0 will HALT.

PERIOD.

Any simulation that says otherwise is a LIE.

Be even more precise because this doesn't seem to mean anything.

The same question exists in a hierarchy of generality to specificity.
There is a mapping from D(D) to Halts(D,D).
There is a mapping from H1(D,D) to Halts(D,D)
There is no mapping from H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)

Every step of exactly what they did with D is shown proving the
simulation was correct and you denied this anyway.

YOU ARE JUST BEING STUPID.

The Question, Does the Computation Described by your inpt (in this case
D(D) ) halt when run does NOT ask about a mappig from anything OTHER
than D(D) to Halts (D,D)

H1(D,D) or H(D,D) are NOT "more specific" thatn D(D) when asking about D(D)

And you are just a stupid pathological liar for saying so.

Where on earth do you get that H1 or H are in ANY WAY a "stand-in" for
the behavior of the input they are trying to decide on.

They are the thing being TESTED.

You are just showing your TOTAL and UTTER STUPIDITY here.

Since the question is about the behavior of D(D), that is the ONLY thing
that really matters.

The traces might help us figure outwhy H got the answer wrong, but CAN'T
prove it right, for the ACTUAL QUESTION that you imply is what you are
working on.

You continued claims otherwise, just shows how pathetic your
pathological lies are.

What is a mapping from D(D) to Halts(D,D)? What do those words mean?

This is simply a degree of detail that you choose to ignore.
There is a mapping from H1(D,D) to Halts(D,D)==1
There is no mapping from H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)???

Halts(D,D) is a standard hypothetical function used to denote the the
halting behavior that D(D) actually has. It is a notational convention.

mapping from D(D) to Halts(D,D)
maps the actual behavior of D(D) to its actual halt status.
mapping from H1(D,D) to Halts(D,D)==1 meaning that D(D) halts.

No, Halts(D,D) == 1 means that D(D) Halts.

It doesn't need H1(D,D) to do anything.

H1(D,D) mapping to Halts(D,D) means H1 got that input right.

Even if H1(D,D) didn't map to Halts(D,D), the fact that Halts(D,D) == 1
means D(D) Halted.

Your claim that somehow H or H1 needs to map to Halts just shows your
stupidity, and that you are still a pathological liar.

Which, if true, says that H1 got that answer right

> There is no mapping from H(D,D) to Halts(D,D)???

WHich says that H DIDN'T Get the answer right.

There is no reason something is illogical or invalid just because some
machine got the wrong answer, unless you are talking about the logic of
that machine.

Since H got the wrong answer, there is something wrong with its logic
for that case. Which we see is that it thinks that D(D) calling H(D,D)
means that D(D) will be non-halting, even though H(D,D) will return 0
after a finite time.

Of course there is. Just map the specific TM/input pair H(D,D) to
Halts(D,D). If you want a more comprehensive mapping you may map
other TM/input pairs eother to H(D,D) or to whatever you want.

So you just showed that there IS a mapping:

0 -> 1

That it the mapping of a wrong decider.
