No, you proved that the halting function is not computable, which is 
exactly the claim of the Halting Theorem that you are trying to disprove.

That an actual algorithmic H can't correctly handle the problem is 
exactly what the Halting Problem is about.

Note, MOST deciders are working on problems that aren't directly stated 
by their literal inputs, but by something the input represents, not is.

ANY time a Turing Machine is being asked a problem about math, is one 
such case as the tape is a string of symbols, not "numbers". Yes, it is 
a representation of the numbers, but it is JUST a representation of the 
number, not the number itself.

By your logic, it is impossible to ask a Turing Machine if a "Number" is 
even, only if the number of symbols on a tape is even or the string of 
symbols on the tape is a representation of an even number.

This is EXACTLY the same as asking if the reprentation on the tape 
represents a Halting Computation.

But the mapping isn't that defined by the Halting problem, so it doesn't 
say anything about that mapping.


You seem to be thinking of the Halting Problem as an exam question given 
by a teacher to their students, a mere theoretical concept to just try 
to solve.

You don't understand that the criteria of the Halting Problem has actual 
utility, and came about out of basic problems trying to decide if 
certain things are "solvable". Changing the critera means you aren't 
actually asking the question that needs to be answered, so is a 
worthless result.
