   after all, you said that   
      
      
   <*Halting Problem Proof ERROR*>   
   Requires Ĥ.embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to report on the   
   direct execution of Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ and thus not   
   ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ correctly simulated by Ĥ.embedded_H.   
      
   No Turing Machine decider can ever report on the   
   behavior of anything that is not an input encoded   
   as a finite string.   
      
   Ĥ is not a finite string input to Ĥ.embedded_H   
   ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ are finite string inputs to Ĥ.embedded_H   
      
      
      
   I.E. the decider can only report on things presented to it as finite   
   strings.   
      
   The DEFINITION of the notation ⟨Ĥ⟩ is that it *IS* the finite string   
   representation of Ĥ, and thus Ĥ.embedded_H  *HAS* been given the finite   
   string represetation of Ĥ and thus is allowed to try to report on it,   
      
   Thus the computation "Ĥ.embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩" is asking the decider   
   Ĥ.embedded_H to decide on the behavior of the direct execution of the   
   machine Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ which has been encoded as ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to it.   
      
      
   Since you input contains LIES, the rest of the conclusions for the AI   
   are meaningless.   
      
   Sorry, all you are doing is proving your Natural Stupidity that is just   
   smart enough to make an AI lie, but they will sometimes do that even   
   when just given truths.   
      
   AIs are NOT a good test of truth,
