Claude AI reviewed the ChatGPT analysis and agreed that it is correct. https://claude.ai/share/95ef2fb7-7d62-4f59-971e-67e7553d6f57

The concept of the Halting Problem being a category error I, Mr Flibble, created several years ago in this very forum.

/Flibble

I remember that is true. Either Claude AI or ChatGPT
thought that the term "category error" is apt to
describe my proof. Your use of the term really did
succinctly specify the issue.

In Each of the following conversations ChatGPT or
Claude AI used the term "category error" to summarize
my proof.

*The Halting Problem is a Category Error* ChatGPT https://www.researchgate.net/publication/396689092_The_Halting_Problem_is_a_Category_Error

*The halting problem is either incoherent or the proof wrong* Claude AI https://www.researchgate.net/publication/396650868_The_halting_problem_is_either_incoherent_or_the_proof_wrong

*The Halting Problem is Incoherent* ChatGPT https://www.researchgate.net/publication/396510896_The_Halting_Problem_is_Incoherent
