   When the halting problem requires a halt decider   
   to report on the behavior of a Turing machine this   
   is always a category error.   
      
   The corrected halting problem requires a Turing   
   machine decider to report in the behavior that   
   its finite string input specifies.

   "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"   
   reliably computable.   
      
   This required establishing a new foundation
