   Why the three levels of quotes instead of   
   just plain text that was cut-and-pasted   
   like this cut-and-pasted quoted text?   
      
      Theorem (Domain Invalidity of the Halting Predicate   
      in Reflective Models): In any computational model   
      where programs can call the universal interpreter,   
      the halting predicate HALT(p) is undefined for some   
      syntactically valid p. Hence, the classical definition   
      of the halting problem as a total decision problem   
      over all program texts is semantically incorrect in   
      that model.
