    This (and four other LLM systems review)
    is the culmination of Halting Problem my work so far.

    *My actual work is on the philosophy of self-evident truth*

    In epistemology (theory of knowledge), a self-evident
    proposition is a proposition that is known to be true
    by understanding its meaning without proof https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-evidence

    with special emphasis on the pathological self reference of:
    (a) The Liar Paradox
    (b) The Halting problem proofs
    (c) The Tarski Undefinability Theorem
    (d) Gödel's 1931 incompleteness theorem
    "We are therefore confronted with a proposition
    which asserts its own unprovability." Gödel 1931:39-41

    Gödel, Kurt 1931. On Formally Undecidable Propositions
    of Principia Mathematica And Related Systems I, page 39-41.

    I focus on the Halting Problem proofs because computer
    science has the most unequivocal system of specification.

    I created Minimal Type Theory to provide the means
    for detecting cycles in the directed graphs of the
    evaluation sequence of formal expressions of language

    G := ∃X ~Provable(X, G) // Written in Minimal Type Theory
    Automatically translated into a Directed Graph
    by the MTT compiler

    [01] G (02)(04)
    [02] THERE_EXISTS (03)
    [03] X
    [04] NOT (05)
    [05] Provable (03)(01) // cycle indicates
    // infinite evaluation loop

    Gödel sentence. Available from: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350789898_Prolog_detects_and_rejects_pathological_self_reference_in_the_Godel_sentence
