Just came up when talking to a fuckbuddy:
what's the "official" "dialectic materialist" stance on the Halting Problem ?
cc @chaosprime @adornofthagn @palecur ?

this is an entirely cromulent question I am quite seriously interested in. It can't be that there was no diamat work on halting problem since 1936 lol.

i don't keep the slightest track of what diamat discourse is up to, but if we aren't being cute i'd imagine it's something like the fact of undecidability "contradicting" the need for decidability predicting the emergence of practices to provide limited-domain decidability

but there is no negation-of-negation here, because, like, there are domains for which limited-domain decidability will remain undecidable!

the negation's never negated all the way though anyway is it

Well, it's supposed to somehow reconcile with the thesis through its own negation. "synthesis overcomes the previous stages within it, as if returning to the thesis, but to a thesis enriched by the development of the antithesis"

in case of halting problem nothing like that happens, antithesis wins (or maybe thesis, depending on whether one considers the "decidability of halting" or "undecidability of halting" are supposed to be the thesis)

idk, "you can have decidability if certain sacrifices are made" seems reasonably synthetic. it's possible that the more imprecise and inaccurate the thesis was, the more dramatic and dialectical the synthesis is

"you can only achieve any kind of solution in several narrow domains" is IMO less "synthesis" and more "being pushed into reservation by fundamental shittiness of the universe"

i wonder what exciting synthesis of "achieving synthesis" and "being pushed into a reservation by the fundamental shittiness of the universe" will emerge
