Question: under what circumstances will this program halt? In terms of Theoretical Computer Science (which works under the assumption that there are no 'hardware issues') it has what would be termed a 'trivial halting problem'. In absence of any 'hardware issues', this program WILL NEVER HALT. I have 'solve the halting problem' for this program. Of course a mechanical way of solving every Halting Problem does not exist. That is Turing's Theorem.
