You ask someone (we'll call him "Jack") to give a truthful
yes/no answer to the following question:
Will Jack's answer to this question be no?
Jack can't possibly give a correct yes/no answer to the question.
When the halting problem is construed as requiring a correct yes/no
answer to a self-contradictory question it cannot be solved.
My semantic linguist friends understand that the context of the question
must include who the question is posed to otherwise the same word-for-
word question acquires different semantics.
The input D to H is the same as Jack's question posed to Jack,
has no correct answer because within this context the question is
self-contradictory.
When we ask someone else what Jack's answer will be or we present a
different TM with input D the same word-for-word question (or bytes of
machine description) acquires entirely different semantics and is no
longer self-contradictory.
When we construe the halting problem as determining whether or not an
(a) Input D will halt on its input <or>
(b) Either D will not halt or D has a pathological relationship with H
Then this halting problem cannot be showed to be unsolvable by any of
the conventional halting problem proofs.
