When the halting problem requires a halt decider
to report on the behavior of a Turing machine
this is always a category error.

The corrected halting problem requires a Turing
machine decider to report in the behavior that
its finite string input specifies.

This analysis in done in the C programming language
so that it is 100% concrete without any key details
being abstracted away.

int DD()
{
int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
if (Halt_Status)
HERE: goto HERE;
return Halt_Status;
}

(a) The key issue is that HHH(DD) does report on the
behavior that its input finite string specifies.

(b) Reporting on anything else is outside of the
scope of Turing Machine Computable functions.


*Detailed analysis shown below*

After many very extensive discussions with LLM
systems there are two principles that prove that
I have correctly refuted the halting problem itself.

(1) Turing Machine based Computable functions
only transform input finite strings into some value
on the basis of a semantic of syntactic property
that this finite string specifies.

(2) the behavior that an input DD specifies to halt
decider HHH is the sequence of steps of DD
simulated by HHH according to the semantics of
the C programming language.

Computable functions are the basic objects of study
in computability theory. Informally, a function is
computable if there is an algorithm that computes
the value of the function for every value of its argument. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_function

DD() executed from main() calls HHH(DD) thus is
not one-and-the-same-thing as an argument to HHH.

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
reliably computable.

This required establishing a new foundation
for correct reasoning.

If you honestly admit you are solving POO Problem, everything is fine.
See my General HP. If the MSet is TM, then the halting decider cannot exist. https://sourceforge.net/projects/cscall/files/MisFiles/ghp.txt/download

It looks you play blind block my other replies again.

My about two paragraphs sums the basis of how
the halting problem itself is flat out incorrect.

Nothing about the halting problem can possibly
be more significant than this.

Can you provide a justification for that claim such as a reference to
(an) accepted definition(s) of "the halting problem" ?

Specifically that it is the "problem" that "requires" the report?
I expect that you discriminate the problem from the question but I'd
really like to see that the conventional distinction draws the line in
the same place you do.

Turing machine deciders compute functions from finite
strings to {accept, reject}.

The halting problem requires that a halt decider
report on the behavior of an actual Turing machine
that is not a finite string input.
