      From: janburse@fastmail.fm              You bisimilarity is broken              It shows halting not as a decidable property.       If you have M1 ~ M2, and M2 is still not decidable       but has the same notion of termination nevertheless,              means logically you didn't really make any error,       only you showed nothing. Not much was gained.              I guess you need to start all over agan.              olcott schrieb:       > Title: A Structural Analysis of the Standard Halting Problem Proof       >       > Author: PL Olcott       >       > Abstract:       > This paper presents a formal critique of the standard proof of the       > undecidability of the Halting Problem.
