    Credit goes to you for finding the loophole in Carol's original
    question: Can anyone correctly answer “no” to this question?

    Carol can correctly answer that question with any word that is
    synonymous with "no".

    Here is the one where the loophole is closed: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?

    The fact that anyone besides Carol can correctly answer that
    question with a NO and Carol cannot possibly correctly answer
    that question proves that it is a different question when posed
    to Carol than when posed to anyone else.

    Which is IRRELEVENT to the Halting Question, as it is a purely
    objective question.

    The behavior of the input is INDEPENDENT of the decider looking at it.

    Note, a given H^ is built on a given H, and no other, but can be given
    to any decider to answer, and the correct answer will be the same
    irrespective of you ask. Some will give the right answer, and some will
    give the wrong answer. The fact that that H is in the latter doesn't
    make the question subjective.

    The only way to make the Halting Question subjective is to try to
    redefine it so the input changes with who you ask, but it doesn't.

    The changing H^ to match the H only happens in the Meta, where we prove
    that we can find an H^ that any H will get wrong, but each of those are
    SEPERATE Halting question (not all one question) and each of those
    seperate questions have a correct answer.


    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy ∞ // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn   // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt

    Carol's question posed to Carol <is> isomorphic to input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩
    to every Ĥ.H shown above. The fact that some other TM such as H1
    (that is not contradicted) can determine a correct answer proves
    that Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ is a different question >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Nope.

    The Question doesn't refer to H at all.


    The input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ posed to Ĥ.H
    is isomorphic to this question posed to Carol: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?

    Nope. and that LIE is a source of a lot of your ERRORS. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Carol is a volitional being.

    When we hypothesize that Carol is the name of an AI machine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything remains the same.

    Nope.

    Once Carol become deterministic, then the whole thing changes. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    The only reason that:
    Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt? posed to Ĥ.H
    cannot be correctly answered is that the specific Ĥ.H is contradicted.

    The only reason that:
    Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question? posed to Carol
    cannot be correctly answered is that the specific Carol is contradicted.


    Nope.

    You aren't showing any ERRORS I made but just asserting your FALSE >>>>>>>>>>>> claims again.

    Inability to show WHY my description was wrong just proves you have no basis.


    You are just demonstrating that you don't understand how logic works.

    It seems you think this is just some abstract philosophy where anything
    goes and rhetoric rules.


    *You have provided zero correct reasoning of how*
    *Carol's question posed to Carol*
    *is not contradicted just like*
    *Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt? posed to Ĥ.H is contradicted*


    Yes, I have.

    YOU have provided ZERO reasoning how they are.

    Dos H^ (H^) Halt? even when posed to H^.H has an answer!


    When posed to each entity (Carol/Ĥ.H)
    their respective question (a)/(b):
    (a) Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question? >>>>>>>>> (b) Does Ĥ  halt?
    lacks a correct answer because this answer is contradicted.

    (b) has a correct answer, which is "yes"


    When Ĥ gives that answer it is contradicted by Ĥ,
    thus it is the wrong answer.

    What does "When Ĥ gives that answer" mean?
    The possible answers that Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ gives are:
    (a) Ĥ.Hqy then loop  (always does the opposite of what it says).
    (b) Ĥ.Hqn then halt  (always does the opposite of what it says).

    Ĥ is a program which can only do what it is programmed, and it is >>>>>> programmed to answer "no" even though the correct answer is "yes". >>>>>>


    Nut (a) isn't AN ANSWER, as it isn't given to any machine that uses it. >>>>
    You don't seem to understand what answer is.

    And, H^ is not defined to apply any semantic to its return, so you
    can't assume any.

    H is defined to give an answer, but all H's will give the wrong answer >>>> for the H^ built from it.

    *Only because every answer that they give is contradicted*

    So, you adit there *IS* a correct answer, just that no H can give it.


    That is the same incorrect excuse that the original 2004
    author of Carol's question: Daryl McCullough still gives.

    For years I repeated the Daryl McCullough version: Jack's
    question as Bill's question forgetting who wrote it.

    It is not the case that Ĥ.H or Carol are prevented from
    answering by being gagged as you suggest.

    It is that every answer they do provide is contradicted
    thus making a correct answer a logical impossibility.
    "logical impossibility" were words provided to me by
    professor Hehner.

    These words replaced my reference to baking an angel
    food case using only house brick for ingredients. This
    is actually possible when someone rearranges the atoms
    of the bricks as Professor Hehner pointed out.


    Carol's Question posed to Carol:
    Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?
    and
    Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt? posed to Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩

    lack a correct answer because this answer is contradicted.
    *Incorrect questions lack correct answers*



    So, you don't understand that: "Does this input Hat?" has a correct answer. >>

    You continue to fail to take into account that the discourse
    context of who as asked changes the meaning of the question.

    If T(I) halts it halts, no matter whom you ask, even if
    someone may answer "no".

    That who is asked changes the meaning of the question
    is proven by the fact that the same correct answer that
    others provide is incorrect for Carol and Ĥ.H and the
    wording of this question is not changed.

    A halting question has the same meaning, no matter whom it is asked.
    If someone interpreters it differently, that is juat a wrong interpretation.

    That is the same incorrect excuse that the original 2004

    For years I repeated the Daryl McCullough version: Jack's
    question as Bill's question forgetting who wrote it.

    It is not the case that Ĥ.H or Carol are prevented from
    answering by being gagged as you suggest.

    It is that every answer they do provide is contradicted
    thus making a correct answer a logical impossibility.
    "logical impossibility" were words provided to me by
    professor Hehner.

    These words replaced my reference to baking an angel
    food case using only house brick for ingredients. This
    is actually possible when someone rearranges the atoms
    of the bricks as Professor Hehner pointed out.

    and
    Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt? posed to Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩

    lack a correct answer because this answer is contradicted.
    *Incorrect questions lack correct answers*



    So, you don't understand that: "Does this input Hat?" has a correct answer.


    You continue to fail to take into account that the discourse
    context of who as asked changes the meaning of the question.

    If T(I) halts it halts, no matter whom you ask, even if
    someone may answer "no".

    That who is asked changes the meaning of the question
    is proven by the fact that the same correct answer that
    others provide is incorrect for Carol and Ĥ.H and the
    wording of this question is not changed.

    A halting question has the same meaning, no matter whom it is asked.
    If someone interpreters it differently, that is juat a wrong interpretation. >>

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt

    When posed to each entity (Carol/Ĥ.H) their respective question (a)/(b):
    (a) Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?
    (b) Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt?
    lacks a correct answer because this answer is contradicted.

    Every answer you have given or will give can be contradicted by
    someone (and many already are). Does this mean that every question
    to you lacks a correct answer?

    Credit goes to you for finding the loophole in Carol's original
    question: Can anyone correctly answer “no” to this question?

    Carol can correctly answer that question with any word that is
    synonymous with "no".

    Here is the one where the loophole is closed: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?

    The fact that anyone besides Carol can correctly answer that
    question with a NO and Carol cannot possibly correctly answer
    that question proves that it is a different question when posed
    to Carol than when posed to anyone else. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Which is IRRELEVENT to the Halting Question, as it is a purely
    objective question.

    The behavior of the input is INDEPENDENT of the decider looking at it.

    Note, a given H^ is built on a given H, and no other, but can be given
    to any decider to answer, and the correct answer will be the same
    irrespective of you ask. Some will give the right answer, and some will
    give the wrong answer. The fact that that H is in the latter doesn't
    make the question subjective.

    That what you just said is counter-factual may be too difficult you
    too understand. Try to explain how when Carol answers "no" this is
    incorrect whereas when anyone else answers "no" this is correct.

    That the first sentence is not counter-factual is obvious. Whether
    the second one is may require more profound understanding.

    Credit goes to you for finding the loophole in Carol's original
    question: Can anyone correctly answer “no” to this question?

    Carol can correctly answer that question with any word that is
    synonymous with "no".

    Here is the one where the loophole is closed: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?

    The fact that anyone besides Carol can correctly answer that
    question with a NO and Carol cannot possibly correctly answer
    that question proves that it is a different question when posed
    to Carol than when posed to anyone else. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Which is IRRELEVENT to the Halting Question, as it is a purely
    objective question.

    The behavior of the input is INDEPENDENT of the decider looking at it.

    Note, a given H^ is built on a given H, and no other, but can be given
    to any decider to answer, and the correct answer will be the same
    irrespective of you ask. Some will give the right answer, and some will
    give the wrong answer. The fact that that H is in the latter doesn't
    make the question subjective.

    The only way to make the Halting Question subjective is to try to
    redefine it so the input changes with who you ask, but it doesn't.

    The changing H^ to match the H only happens in the Meta, where we prove
    that we can find an H^ that any H will get wrong, but each of those are
    SEPERATE Halting question (not all one question) and each of those
    seperate questions have a correct answer. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy ∞ // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn   // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt

    Carol's question posed to Carol <is> isomorphic to input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩
    to every Ĥ.H shown above. The fact that some other TM such as H1
    (that is not contradicted) can determine a correct answer proves
    that Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ is a different question >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Nope.

    The Question doesn't refer to H at all. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    The input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ posed to Ĥ.H >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> is isomorphic to this question posed to Carol: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?

    Carol is a volitional being.

    Nope.

    Once Carol become deterministic, then the whole thing changes.


    The only reason that:
    Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt? posed to Ĥ.H
    cannot be correctly answered is that the specific Ĥ.H is contradicted.

    The only reason that:
    Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question? posed to Carol
    cannot be correctly answered is that the specific Carol is contradicted.


    Nope.

    You aren't showing any ERRORS I made but just asserting your FALSE
    claims again.

    Inability to show WHY my description was wrong just proves you have no basis.


    You are just demonstrating that you don't understand how logic works.

    It seems you think this is just some abstract philosophy where anything

    When Ĥ gives that answer it is contradicted by Ĥ,
    thus it is the wrong answer.

    What does "When Ĥ gives that answer" mean?
    The possible answers that Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ gives are:

    Nut (a) isn't AN ANSWER, as it isn't given to any machine that uses it.

    *Only because every answer that they give is contradicted*

    So, you adit there *IS* a correct answer, just that no H can give it. >>>>>>

    That is the same incorrect excuse that the original 2004
    author of Carol's question: Daryl McCullough still gives.

    For years I repeated the Daryl McCullough version: Jack's
    question as Bill's question forgetting who wrote it.

    It is not the case that Ĥ.H or Carol are prevented from
    answering by being gagged as you suggest.

    It is that every answer they do provide is contradicted
    thus making a correct answer a logical impossibility.
    "logical impossibility" were words provided to me by
    professor Hehner.

    These words replaced my reference to baking an angel
    food case using only house brick for ingredients. This
    is actually possible when someone rearranges the atoms
    of the bricks as Professor Hehner pointed out.


    Carol's Question posed to Carol:
    Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?
    and
    Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt? posed to Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩

    lack a correct answer because this answer is contradicted.
    *Incorrect questions lack correct answers*



    So, you don't understand that: "Does this input Hat?" has a correct answer.


    You continue to fail to take into account that the discourse
    context of who as asked changes the meaning of the question.

    If T(I) halts it halts, no matter whom you ask, even if
    someone may answer "no".

    That who is asked changes the meaning of the question
    is proven by the fact that the same correct answer that
    others provide is incorrect for Carol and Ĥ.H and the
    wording of this question is not changed.

    A halting question has the same meaning, no matter whom it is asked.
    If someone interpreters it differently, that is juat a wrong interpretation.


    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy ∞ // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn   // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt

    When posed to each entity (Carol/Ĥ.H) their respective question (a)/(b): >>> (a) Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?
    (b) Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt?
    lacks a correct answer because this answer is contradicted.
    *Incorrect questions do not lack answers they lack correct answers*

    *THIS CANNOT BE CORRECTLY IGNORED*
    *The discourse context of who is asked is the determining factor*
    *of whether the very same answer to the same word-for-word question*
    *is correct or incorrect*


    But the question, "Does the machine this input describes Halt when
    run?" doesn't depend on who you ask. (Unless your input isn't actually
    a Computation)

    Your "Carol" question is about Carol being able to answer, so it
    naturally depend on Carol.

    THe Halting Question doesn't mention the decider in any way, so doesn't.

    Yes, the particular question include a copy of one decider, but that
    doesn't refer to that decider in any specific way, so doesn't make the
    question change.

    The question is the same: Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt?
    The answer is the same (assuming a simulating halt decider): YES.
    For H1 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ this answer is CORRECT // waits for more execution traces
    For H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ this answer is INCORRECT

    Thus the same question has a different meaning depending on who is asked.

    The meaning of the question is the same for both. If H interpretes
    the qurestion differently then H interpretes it incodrrectly.

    question: Can anyone correctly answer “no” to this question?

    Carol can correctly answer that question with any word that is
    synonymous with "no".

    Here is the one where the loophole is closed: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?

    The fact that anyone besides Carol can correctly answer that
    question with a NO and Carol cannot possibly correctly answer
    that question proves that it is a different question when posed
    to Carol than when posed to anyone else. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Which is IRRELEVENT to the Halting Question, as it is a purely
    objective question.

    The behavior of the input is INDEPENDENT of the decider looking at it.

    Note, a given H^ is built on a given H, and no other, but can be given
    to any decider to answer, and the correct answer will be the same
    irrespective of you ask. Some will give the right answer, and some will
    give the wrong answer. The fact that that H is in the latter doesn't
    make the question subjective.

    The only way to make the Halting Question subjective is to try to
    redefine it so the input changes with who you ask, but it doesn't.

    The changing H^ to match the H only happens in the Meta, where we prove
    that we can find an H^ that any H will get wrong, but each of those are
    SEPERATE Halting question (not all one question) and each of those
    seperate questions have a correct answer. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy ∞ // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn   // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt

    Carol's question posed to Carol <is> isomorphic to input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩
    to every Ĥ.H shown above. The fact that some other TM such as H1
    (that is not contradicted) can determine a correct answer proves
    that Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ is a different question >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Nope.

    The Question doesn't refer to H at all. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    The input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ posed to Ĥ.H >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> is isomorphic to this question posed to Carol: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?

    Nope. and that LIE is a source of a lot of your ERRORS. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Carol is a volitional being.

    When we hypothesize that Carol is the name of an AI machine
    everything remains the same.

    Nope.

    Once Carol become deterministic, then the whole thing changes.


    The only reason that:
    Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt? posed to Ĥ.H
    cannot be correctly answered is that the specific Ĥ.H is contradicted.

    The only reason that:
    Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question? posed to Carol
    cannot be correctly answered is that the specific Carol is contradicted.


    Nope.

    You aren't showing any ERRORS I made but just asserting your FALSE
    claims again.

    Inability to show WHY my description was wrong just proves you have no basis.


    You are just demonstrating that you don't understand how logic works.

    It seems you think this is just some abstract philosophy where anything
    goes and rhetoric rules.


    *You have provided zero correct reasoning of how* >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *Carol's question posed to Carol*
    *is not contradicted just like*
    *Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt? posed to Ĥ.H is contradicted* >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Yes, I have.

    YOU have provided ZERO reasoning how they are. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Dos H^ (H^) Halt? even when posed to H^.H has an answer! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    When posed to each entity (Carol/Ĥ.H)
    their respective question (a)/(b):

    lacks a correct answer because this answer is contradicted. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    (b) has a correct answer, which is "yes"


    When Ĥ gives that answer it is contradicted by Ĥ,
    thus it is the wrong answer.

    What does "When Ĥ gives that answer" mean?
    The possible answers that Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ gives are: >>>>>>>>>>> (a) Ĥ.Hqy then loop  (always does the opposite of what it says). >>>>>>>>>>> (b) Ĥ.Hqn then halt  (always does the opposite of what it says). >>>>>>>>>>>

    Nut (a) isn't AN ANSWER, as it isn't given to any machine that uses it.

    You don't seem to understand what answer is.

    And, H^ is not defined to apply any semantic to its return, so you >>>>>>>>>> can't assume any.

    H is defined to give an answer, but all H's will give the wrong answer
    for the H^ built from it.

    *Only because every answer that they give is contradicted*

    So, you adit there *IS* a correct answer, just that no H can give it. >>>>>>>>

    That is the same incorrect excuse that the original 2004
    author of Carol's question: Daryl McCullough still gives.

    For years I repeated the Daryl McCullough version: Jack's
    question as Bill's question forgetting who wrote it.

    It is not the case that Ĥ.H or Carol are prevented from
    answering by being gagged as you suggest.

    It is that every answer they do provide is contradicted
    thus making a correct answer a logical impossibility.
    "logical impossibility" were words provided to me by
    professor Hehner.

    These words replaced my reference to baking an angel
    food case using only house brick for ingredients. This
    is actually possible when someone rearranges the atoms
    of the bricks as Professor Hehner pointed out.


    Carol's Question posed to Carol:
    Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question? >>>>>>>>> and
    Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt? posed to Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩

    lack a correct answer because this answer is contradicted.
    *Incorrect questions lack correct answers*



    So, you don't understand that: "Does this input Hat?" has a correct answer.


    You continue to fail to take into account that the discourse
    context of who as asked changes the meaning of the question.

    If T(I) halts it halts, no matter whom you ask, even if
    someone may answer "no".

    That who is asked changes the meaning of the question
    is proven by the fact that the same correct answer that
    others provide is incorrect for Carol and Ĥ.H and the
    wording of this question is not changed.

    A halting question has the same meaning, no matter whom it is asked. >>>>>> If someone interpreters it differently, that is juat a wrong interpretation.


    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy ∞ // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn   // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt

    When posed to each entity (Carol/Ĥ.H) their respective question (a)/(b): >>>>> (a) Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question?
    (b) Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt?
    lacks a correct answer because this answer is contradicted.
    *Incorrect questions do not lack answers they lack correct answers*

    *THIS CANNOT BE CORRECTLY IGNORED*
    *The discourse context of who is asked is the determining factor*
    *of whether the very same answer to the same word-for-word question* >>>>> *is correct or incorrect*


    But the question, "Does the machine this input describes Halt when
    run?" doesn't depend on who you ask. (Unless your input isn't actually >>>> a Computation)

    Your "Carol" question is about Carol being able to answer, so it
    naturally depend on Carol.

    THe Halting Question doesn't mention the decider in any way, so doesn't. >>>>
    Yes, the particular question include a copy of one decider, but that
    doesn't refer to that decider in any specific way, so doesn't make the >>>> question change.

    The question is the same: Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halt?
    The answer is the same (assuming a simulating halt decider): YES.
    For H1 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ this answer is CORRECT  // waits for more execution traces
    For H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ this answer is INCORRECT

    Wrong, it's correct in both cases because Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts in all cases.
    When H1 says YES it is right.
    When H says YES it is wrong.

    When H answers the same way as H1 to the same question then both are
    right or both are wrong. However, you have already said that H does
    not answer YES to this particular question.

    Does not matter if that never happens.

    That would be a different D. The facts that Hah(Dah,Dah) returns TRUE
    and Dah gets stuck at line 05 do not prove that Han(Dan,Dan) returns
    TRUE and Dan gets stuck at line 05.

    *D is always the exact same finite string of machine code bytes*

    That does not mean that it is the same function. It is the same
    onlu if the complete execution trace is the same for every x.

    Note that what happen during the execution may depend on the
    state of the processor when the function is called. In particular,
    if you call a C function from a non-C program you must make sure
    that the calling sequence meets the requirements of your C
    implementation.

    *D is always the exact same finite string of machine code bytes*


    The argument to a halting decider must be a self-contained program and
    the input to that program. The same finite string must always have the
    same behaviour.

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy ∞ // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt

    is self-contained yet still refers to an infinite set of encoding of H
    such that the answer Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ is always contradicted.

    No, it doesn't. Ĥ does not refer to any encoding of H. It contains one
    copy of H starting at Ĥ.Hq0, no more.
