That doesn't make sense.

The statement is that the proof of Halting being uncomputable can be 
stated in terms of just the "algorithm" independent of the mechanizm the 
system uses to perform it, assume just that the system is at least as 
powerful as a Turing Machine. Being more powerful means it can compute 
any algorithm specifiable to a Turing machine.

I Point out that for a Turing Machine, the algorithm ends up being 
directly embodied in the computation machine, but this detail doesn't 
need to be assumed in the proof.

I guess you are just too stupid to understand the critiques I was giving 
you. Part of your problem is you keep on writing abstract functions that 
you claim will do something that can't be done.

When writing an algorithm, you don't get to just assume a task can be 
done. You can refer to a previously developed algorithm, not to one that 
hasn't be defined in algorithm terms (in other words, you need to show 
HOW not just the results it gets)

Which are NOT computationally equivalent, unless gd_haltsA(machineB, x) 
doesn't returns HALTS.

"Not halting" *IS* a mapping.

So, you are defining that a precondition on your gd_haltsA(machineB, x) 
does not return HALTS, but "Reducable" which is NOT a correct answer to 
the halting question.

But, that is incorrect for any machine gd_haltsA(y, x) that can return 
HALTS for a given machine y that is of a paradoxical equivalenet form.

But, you first need to prove that you can do that, and that requires you 
to assume other non-computable results are computable.

The problem is you are confusing the ghost machines with the paradox 
machines.

The paradox machines are defined in a way that for ANY machine you care 
to create, we can create its paradox machine, that it will get wrong. 
These machines have definite behavior, which will just be the opposite 
of what "their" decider says about them.

The ghost machines are machines that no always-correct partial decider 
can decide on.

No, you ASSUME you can. The problem is your enumeration doesn't take 
countable steps, but hits the k^N barrier. We can not effecitvely 
enumerate the reals, and you need to do the equivalent of that to do 
your operation.

But we can only enumerate the halting machines, not effectively 
enumerate them.

Choose your position. Are your machines just Turing Machines equivalent, 
or are they more powerful.

Syntax can't create ability that wasn't there.

Because your errors are in the details that you refuse to look at.

And refusal to look at the details of what you talk about, but just 
foolishly assuming what you want, just dooms your work to be a fallacy.

No you don't, as a computation can't control the context it is used in, 
and thus, since that context is what goes down, is a part of the input 
that can't be controlled.
