Sadly that now includes the term "halting problem".  It's defined to be
something you now simply reject.  The term, when used by you, allows a
"halt decider" TM to reject at least one string that encodes a halting
computation.

Given this simple and obvious problem, it's clear that you purpose is
simply to chat with people about stuff.  There can't be any greater
purpose.
