I I found an interesting math result, but now I see a contradiction

AI Thread Summary
A user presented a claim that the halting problem is essentially solvable but later identified a contradiction in their reasoning. They referenced an article discussing this claim and acknowledged an error in their understanding. Another participant criticized the reliance on faith rather than scientific evidence in the argument, emphasizing that the forum is focused on scientific discourse. The discussion concluded with a reminder of the forum's guidelines regarding the nature of acceptable content. The thread was subsequently closed by a moderator.

TL;DR Summary
I found an interesting math result ("halting problem is essentially solvable") yesterday, but now I see a contradiction (it follows "halting problem is solvable"). Participate in finding my error.

Here is my short yesterday article (with links to other yesterday articles):

I've found an error myself:

In the linked article [Unacceptable reference redacted by the Mentors] I describe the error in bold font.

The linked article nevertheless had another valid very interesting result that replaces the paradigm that mathematics is theorem proving by another paradigm.

You have a new release of mathematics.

I glanced at the article, and found that it referenced your prior article on using Peano Arithmetic to avoid Godel's incompleteness result ##-## the only 'support' in that article for your contention was 'faith'; not science. Please understand that PF is a set of forums for science; not for exploring faith-based ideas about scientific and mathematical matters. Please read the guidelines, and if you have questions or concerns about any of them, please PM one of the Mentors.

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
