   All you are communicating is that you have no idea what "prove" means;   
   where the bar is at for proving something.

   Yes, /a/ mapping. There is only one mapping. The mapping is   
   the abstract halting function.   
      
   There are no deciders which compute that mapping, only partial   
   deciders.

   The mapping is a function.  It assigns /one/ value to each   
   domain element.  The finite representation D is a domain element   
   which maps to one truth value.   
      
   Yet you claim that HHH1(DD) == 1 and HHH(DD) == 0 are both   
   right.   
      
   That cannot be; the mapping doesn't support it.   
      
   It cannot be that two deciders are following a different mapping   
   such that both can be correct when they contradict each other.   
      
   The mapping they must be calculating must correspond to the   
   halting function. If the disagree, one of the two is not following   
   the halting functions and is therefore incorrect.
