   *Reinterpretation of undecidability*   
   The example of P and H demonstrates that what is   
   often called “undecidable” is better understood as   
   ill-posed with respect to computable semantics.   
   When the specification is constrained to properties   
   detectable via finite simulation and finite pattern   
   recognition, computation proceeds normally and   
   correctly. Undecidability only appears when the   
   specification overreaches that boundary.

   The paper that I linked uses H(P) not HHH(DD).   
      
   To see that it totally proves my point   
   you have to actually look at it.

              My 28 year goal has been to make
       "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
       reliably computable.

              This required establishing a new foundation
