   If the halting problem itself required a halt   
   decider to report on the behavior that a finite   
   string INPUT specifies then it would not be   
   incorrect.   
      
   int P()   
   {   
      int Halt_Status = H(P);   
      if (Halt_Status)   
        HERE: goto HERE;   
      return Halt_Status;   
   }   
      
   H(P)==0 and H1(P)==1 both report on the behavior   
   that their finite string input specifies.

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

              This required establishing a new foundation
