   No I am directly showing the key error of the   
   halting problem. It is very very difficult to   
   to understand. I have been working on this since   
   2004 and I just understood the error this year.

   The input to HHH(DD) specifies a different sequence   
   of steps than the input to HHH1(DD).   
      
   HHH simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)   
   that simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)...   
      
   HHH1 simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)   
   that returns to DD that returns to HHH1.   
      
   The sound basis of this reasoning is the   
   semantics of the C programming language.   
      
   typedef int (*ptr)();   
   int HHH(ptr P);   
   int HHH1(ptr P);   
      
   int DD()   
   {   
    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);   
    if (Halt_Status)   
    HERE: goto HERE;   
    return Halt_Status;   
   }   
      
   int main()   
   {   
    HHH(DD);   
   }

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