If H^ is not a computation, then H isn't either.

You are just proving that you don't understand what this topic is about.

It has been shown that you can convert ANY Turing Machine to a 
representation, and the input to H is defined as a Representation of a 
Turing Machine.

If you arguement is that you can't decide on the behavior of a Turing 
Machine just from a representation of it as a computation, then you are 
just agreeing that the Halting Problem IS impossible to "Compute" even 
if you don't understand that is what you are saying.
