   Then you admit your string was wrong for the question that P was   
   supposed to make, and thus you LIED that you followed the proof.

   Yes, but to be a HALT deciders, that mapping needs to match the HALT   
   function, which is whether the machine so described halts when run, or   
   equivalently, if UTM applied to that input will halt. (NOT a non-UTM   
   decider, and since H's transform doesn't match the behavior of the   
   machine the input was said to represent, it isn't a UTM)

   It may be the best it can do, but it isn't sufficient.   
      
   Just like if asked someone about the sum of seven and eight, but they   
   only do arithmatic on their fingers, so they answer "many", the answer   
   gotten isn't correct.   
      
   >

   > input actually specifies   
      
   Nope, that behavior comes from its definition.   
      
   Either you admit you LIED that your input was proper for the quesiton,   
   or that you LIED that H correctly analyized the string.   
      
   P was SUPPOSED to be asking H about the behavior of P when run,   
      
   If the string you gave was correct for that, H's only correct answer   
   would be halting.   
      
   If the string you specifies a non-halting computation, then it couldn't   
   have been a specifing the behavior of P when run.   
      
   You just don't know what you are talking about.   
      
   >

   It may be the only method for H, but isn't the definition of the property.   
      
   All you are doing is PROVING you don't understand the basic concepts of   
   the problem, like what a Program is, what Behavior is, What a   
   Representation is, or even what Truth is.   
      
   Sorry, but you are just proving your utter stupidity and inability to   
   learn basic facts.
