      [continued from previous message]              both ChatGPT and Claude AI applied this same term.              They did this on the basis that the halting problem       required a halt decider to report on behavior that       is different than the behavior that its actual input       actually specifies.              They were able to directly assess this behavior       themselves by actually performing a simulation of DD by       HHH according to the semantics of the x86 language.              > 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              Turing machine deciders only compute a mapping from       their [finite string] inputs to an accept or reject       state on the basis that this [finite string] input       specifies or fails to specify a semantic or syntactic       property.                     --       Copyright 2025 Olcott              My 28 year goal has been to make       "true on the basis of meaning" computable.              This required establishing a new foundation       for correct reasoning.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
