   The Halting Paradox   
   Bill Stoddart   
      
   6 Conclusions   
   The idea of a universal halting test seems reasonable,   
   but cannot be formalised as a consistent specification.   
   It has no model and does not exist as a conceptual object.   
   Assuming its conceptual existence leads to a paradox.

   This required establishing a new foundation
