   *Proof that HHH correctly rejects HHH*   
      
   (a) DD simulated by HHH according to the   
        semantics of the C programming language   
      
   (b) Cannot possibly reach its own "return"   
        statement final halt state   
      
   (c) While being simulated by HHH   
      
   Conclusively proves that behavior that the   
   input to HHH(DD) specifies is non-halting behavior.   
      
   That   
   (a) Turing machine deciders only compute the mapping   
        from their [finite string] inputs   
      
   (b) To an accept or reject state   
      
   (c) On the basis that this [finite string] input specifies   
        or fails to specify a semantic or syntactic property.   
      
   Proves that the halting problem, itself is incorrect   
   when it requires something else.

   "true on the basis of meaning" computable.   
      
   This required establishing a new foundation
