The halting problem is not a part of any theory of computation. It is a question that one maight expect the theory of computation to answer. Note that the halting problem does not specify how Turing machines should be encoded to finite strings. It meresly requires that the solution includes encoding rules so that every Turing machine can be encoded. >> Unless the specificaiton of HHH says otherwise HHH should be able >> to handle every input that can be given to it, > > No halt decider is allowed to report on the computation > that it is contained within for several different reasons > one of them is that computations are not finite strings. The halting problem requires that every Turing machine computation can be given as input. A partial halt decider may fail to answer for some computations. -- Mikko
