   It proves that the input to H(D) specifies   
   non-halting behavior.   
      
   Turing machine deciders only compute a mapping from   
   their [finite string] inputs to an accept or reject   
   state on the basis that this [finite string] input   
   specifies or fails to specify a semantic or syntactic   
   property.   
      
   We stay in the C/C++ groups until we have   
   complete mutual agreement on the C. As soon   
   as that occurs we leave these groups.
