Which is a definition in PHILOSOPHY, not FORMAL LOGIC.

You are working in the wrong field.

Right, you can stipulate for THIS discussion, that when you use this
term 'y' it mans 'x'. What you can't do is then apply ANYTHING you have
'said' about that term 'y' to other areas, as you weren't talking about
that other y.

Otherwise:

I STIPULATE THAT Peter Olcott is an IDIOT and doesn't know a thing about
logic.

My proof is then done. You are an idiot.

You don't get to 'stipulate' what is the meaning of truth or of core
concepts in a field and have anything you say after that have any impact
on the field. All you have done is 'proven' that if Computation Theory
was redefined to mean something other than what it actually means, you
can prove that halting might be decidable. That doesn't affect what the
REAL Computation Theory says.

THAT is just fallacious.

FAIL.

You are just PROVING that nothing you have said has ANY real meaning to
the world of logic and mathematics as it only applies in your made up world.
