Except it doesn't do that.

H needs to be *A* computation, not a "set" of them.

You are just proving your ignorance of what a computation is.

The H that you are claiming gives the right answer is a SINGLE program,
that aborts its simulation after a specific finite number of steps of
its simulation.

P is then defined to use THAT H, and when we look at its actual
behavior, we see that it will use that H, get back the non-halting reply
and Halt.

All your other computation are DIFFERENT computations looking at
DIFFERENT inputs, NONE of those other computation do you give THIS
PARTICULAR input, so none of the results are actually applicable.

You are just showing your IGNORANCE of what you are talking about
because you have self-imposed a non-learning of the field.

You are just showing how idiotic your ideas are.

You have wasted the last 18 years of your life because of the
self-imposed ignorance, and have buried your reputation under the pile
of idiotic lies you have stated.

H(P,P) is wrong to say 0, because the P built on this H will halt when
it computes P(P), BECAUSE H(P,P) returns 0.

FAIL.
