> Nobody cares about the halting problem from a specific standpoint. If it's algebraically guaranteed to halt, it halts. When it halts is entirely meaningless for purposes of the halting problem. Halting problem from a specific standpoint is a popular area of research. Microsoft Research in particular has been active in this area, and Windows device drivers and other kernel event handlers are analyzed to prove that they will halt in a reasonable amount of time to avoid locking up the OS. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/t2-temporal-property-verification/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/t2-temp...
