   That is not an error.  That is simply a mapping that you have admitted   
   exists.

   False.  It requires HHH to report on the behavior of the machine   
   described by its input.   
      
   int main {   
      DD()     // this   
      HHH(DD)  // is not the caller of this   
      return 0;   
   }

   Irrelevant.

   in other words, something that uses simulation to compute the following   
   mapping:   
      
      
   Given any algorithm (i.e. a fixed immutable sequence of instructions) X   
   described as  with input Y:   
      
   A solution to the halting problem is an algorithm H that computes the   
   following mapping:   
      
   (,Y) maps to 1 if and only if X(Y) halts when executed directly   
   (,Y) maps to 0 if and only if X(Y) does not halt when executed directly   
      
      
      
      
   > exposed the gap of

   The only false assumption is that the above requirements can be   
   satisfied, which Turing and Linz proved to be false and that you have   
   *explicitly* agreed with.
