THIS IS THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF A HALT DECIDER THAT REFUTES THE HALTING
PROBLEM PROOFS:
When a simulating halt decider rejects all inputs as non-halting
whenever it correctly detects (in a finite number of steps) that its
correct and complete simulation of its input would never reach a final
state of this input that all [these] inputs (including pathological
inputs) are decided correctly.

computation that halts … the Turing machine will halt whenever it enters
a final state. (Linz:1990:234)

This paper has not been updated since I converted H into a pure function
of its inputs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_function
H no longer recursively calls itself, thus local memory is sufficient.

Yes and in the same way when a person that represents them (their
lawyer) commits a crime then the person must go to jail because we must
always maintain the indirect relationship.

The direct relationship where the person did not commit the crime so
they don't go to jail must always be superseded by the indirect
relationship.

A halt decider must compute the mapping from its inputs to an accept or
reject state on the basis of the actual behavior of the actual inputs,
not the behavior of some mere proxy representative.

You do realize that the verb 'represent' means something entirely
different in legal contexts than it does in computer science?

It is the "indirect reference" proxy relationship that is the same that
I am referring to. When the judge orders the client to appear in court
often his proxy will suffice.

And if H(P,P) doesn't ask about what P(P) does, then YOU have committed
perjury that you swear is following the Linz formula.

Remember, H needs to answer about the PROGRAM and INPUT it is given.

P needs to be given the input so that it asks about P applied to that input.

So, if H(P,P) doesn't ask that question, you hace LIED that your P is
the equivalent of Linz H^. Plain and simple.

So, which way are you lying?

Does H(P,P) lie about what its input does since H(P,P) returns 0 and
P(P) Halts, or

Do you lie that you built P wrong, because H(P,P) isn't asking about P(P)?

Right, and the actual behavior of the input that P gives must be the
behavior of the computation P(P), or your P isn't built right.

If you can't ask H about the P(P) for the P built on it, the H just
plain fails the universal requirement of a Halt Decider.
