I hereby introduce the sNaP, the "signaling Not a Program" exception to be raised in the event a [Strachey 1965] "Impossible Program" is passed to a signaling halt decider. The sNaP is analogous to the sNaN of IEEE 754 floating point to signify the result of a mathematical operation is undefined. As an added bonus "sNaP" is quite catchy. :D Copyright 2022 Mr Flibble
