A bounded simulation records whether a specified deterministic program has halted, with a specified output, within a given finite number of steps. This is a primitive recursive predicate of the program code, input and time bound. Peano arithmetic can verify genuine finite computation certificates and prove that two different outputs cannot both be the first halting output.
