      [continued from previous message]              It does not matter who first used the term here.       ...       >> Anyway, any claim that a problem contradict something is       >> a category error because the meanings of "problem" and       >> "contradict" are not compatible.       >       > When the halting problem contradicts the definition       > of a Turing machine decider              A contradiction means that all claims of some set cannot be true. It       is a category error to apply the term "contradiction" to non-claims.       Examples of non-claims are problem and definition. An example of       category error is "the halting problem contradicts the definition of       a Turing machine decider".              --       Mikko              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
