   That is great. It has taken my 22 years to get my   
   intuitions formalized as first principles.   
      
   I now have LLMs that understand that I refuted   
   the halting problem in ten pages of dialogue.

   that people will understand that I am correct just   
   before they have any idea what I am talking about.
