   bruh, ur agreeing with the halting problem:   
      
   one cannot take the string describing the machine, and use it to compute   
   whether the machine described halts   
      
   the only difference between ur claim here and the proofs is the why   
      
   --   
   a burnt out swe investigating into why our tooling doesn't involve   
   basic semantic proofs like halting analysis   
      
   please excuse my pseudo-pyscript,
