   number statisfies a specific (complicated) Primitive Recursive   
   Relationship. A Relationship that can ALWAYS, for ANY number, be   
   evaluated in finite time.   
      
   There is no "diagonalization" in G. You are confusing different proof.   
      
   The question of G is a pure mathematical question, either a number does   
   or does not satisfy it.   
      
   In other words, your "logic" says some questions with factual answers   
   are just wrong.   
      
   In other words, your logic is proven to be self-inconsistant, as   
   statements provably true are considered to be illogical.
