It is not that my theories are wrong it is that they do not correspond
to conventional wisdom because I have corrected the errors in the
philosophical underpinnings of this conventional wisdom. People acting
like sheep say that I am wrong because they are attached to the
conventional wisdom.

When it comes to actually showing any mistake all they have is gibberish
double talk anchored in the fact that they simply do not believe me.

When it is shown that these rules are inconsistent with themselves then
this inconsistency cannot be ignored and must be resolved.

No they are not. You simply do not believe that this repeating pattern
can be recognized by embedded_H even though you yourself already
acknowledged that it is an infinitely repeating pattern.

When Ĥ is applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩
Ĥ copies its input ⟨Ĥ1⟩ to ⟨Ĥ2⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ1⟩ ⟨Ĥ2⟩

Then these steps would keep repeating:
Ĥ1 copies its input ⟨Ĥ2⟩ to ⟨Ĥ3⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ2⟩ ⟨Ĥ3⟩
Ĥ2 copies its input ⟨Ĥ3⟩ to ⟨Ĥ4⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ3⟩ ⟨Ĥ4⟩
Ĥ3 copies its input ⟨Ĥ4⟩ to ⟨Ĥ5⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ4⟩ ⟨Ĥ5⟩...

The fact that embedded_H is applied to a copy of itself reveals
something new that conventional wisdom has never sufficiently accounted
for. No one has ever examined the notion of infinitely nested simulation
applied to the halting problem counter-examples prior to my analysis.

THAT A SIMULATION MUST BE ABORTED TO PREVENT THE INFINITE EXECUTION OF
THIS SIMULATION IS A CORRECT MEASURE THAT THIS INPUT SPECIFIES A
NON-HALTING SEQUENCE OF CONFIGURATIONS.

ALL THAT YOU CAN SAY AS A REBUTTAL TO THAT IS ESSENTIALLY
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH: I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ depends on embedded_H aborting its simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩.
embedded_H cannot depend on anything else aborting its simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩
⟨Ĥ⟩.

(a) You know that these two facts are true.

(b) You know that these two facts derive a different sequence of
configurations.

∴ any claim that these two sequences of configurations must be identical
is disingenuous at best.

If I was simply wrong then Wittgenstein would not have perfectly summed
up my view quoted on page 6 of my paper:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333907915_Proof_that_Wittgenstein_is_correct_about_Godel

Wittgenstein
Austrian-British philosopher who worked primarily in logic, the
philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of
language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Wittgenstein

Wittgenstein understood these things on the basis of their philosophical
foundation rather than the learned-by-rote of logicians and
mathematicians. He understood these things at the deepest philosophical
level. He was very famous in his day for his knowledge of the philosophy
of logic.

If you think that I am incorrect then you would be able to explain the
specific error that Wittgenstein made.

Everyone presented with this challenge simply dodges and asserts that
Wittgenstein did not understand Gödel very well.

Also on page 7 of my paper is Gödel's own words that claim:

"Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar
undecidability proof." In other words his proof has the exact same basis
as the liar paradox, that he refers to as the "liar antinomy".

I explain that the liar paradox is simply not a "truth bearer" because
it is self-contradictory.

Even one of the greatest minds on the subject of the liar paradox Saul
Kripke did not boil it down to this simple essence.

Saul Kripke (1975) Outline of a theory of truth

You never notice that this input never halts whether or not it is
aborted because halting is required to reach a final state.

Because you never notice this when it is reiterated countless times you
must either be a liar or have actual brain damage.

As I have told you at .east fifty times this never occurs:
embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn

whether or not embedded_H aborts its simulation.
You either have brain damage or are a liar.

Like I said point out the specific error that Wittgenstein made (his
view is identical to mine) or admit that you are simply utterly clueless
about the deep analysis of these things, you only know them by rote.

So then what could 'True in Russell's system' mean ???

Note that Haskell Curry is quoted before Wittgenstein has a comparable
notion of what "true in a formal system" means.

Let 𝓣 be such a theory. Then the elementary statements which belong to
𝓣 we shall call the elementary theorems of 𝓣; we also say that these
elementary statements are true for 𝓣. Thus, given 𝓣, an elementary
theorem is an elementary statement which is true...

Olcott's true in a formal system 𝓣 is exactly Curry's elementary
theorems of 𝓣 and statements of 𝓣 derived by applying truth preserving
operations beginning with Curry's elementary theorems of 𝓣 as premises.

When you start with truth and only apply truth preserving operations you
always necessarily end up with truth.

Olcott wants skin in the game for Putin with Give Ukraine cruise missiles that reach Moscow & Stalingrad. So long as Russia has nothing to worry about a Ukraine offense, Putin continues to invade

General Nakasone has Zelos Malum figured out the trajectory of cruise missiles from Ukraine to Moscow and Stalingrad-- so says Kibo Parry Moron, the 30 year stalker.

Kibo saying that his 938 is 12% short of 945 is what the West wants, desires and prays for-- as normal education.

I do use some terminology somewhat inconsistently with its conventional
meaning to overcome [strong linguistic determinism] that makes the ideas
that I need to express otherwise inexpressible.

strong version, or linguistic determinism, says that language determines
thought and that linguistic categories limit and determine cognitive
categories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

The body of analytic truth encompasses all of mathematics and logic and
only excludes knowledge that can only be validated by input from the
sense organs.

The notion of analytic truth is the foundation of all mathematics and
logic.

If one field overloads the term "true" to include expressions of
language that are not true, then it errs.

Analytic truth is nothing more that a semantically connected set of
expressions of language each one known to be true.

If you start with expressions of language that are known to be true
(such as Haskell Curry's elementary theorems) and only apply truth
preserving operations you don't end up with peanut butter.

There is one yet not one that you are aware of.

This is not my idea:
Questions are merely propositions with a missing piece.

In computer science and information science, an ontology encompasses a
representation, formal naming, and definition of the categories,
properties, and relations between the concepts, data, and entities that
substantiate one, many, or all domains of discourse.

A theory T is incomplete if and only if there is some sentence φ such
that (T ⊬ φ) and (T ⊬ ¬φ).

The above simply ignores the case where a syntactically correct
expression of a formal language is unprovable simply because at the
semantic level it is self-contradictory.
