I guess you idea of Turing Machine is so limited that you think they can't do arithmatic, as you can't actually put a "Number" as the input, only the finite-string encoding of a number, which puts it outside the domain of them.

But it isn't a truism, it is just a stupid lie that ignores that almost everything done with programs is via an "encoding" for the input.

Which is just an admission of your lying strawman, as the question is NOT about the (partial) simulation done by your H / embedded_H, but about the direct execution of the input H^ (H^) as that is what the input to H is encoding.

 Then evdrything in reality is outside the domain of Turing Machines.

That no one bothered to notice this ever before
*DOES NOT MAKE ME WRONG*

 But it hasn't been, and thus you are just wrong.

An actual rebuttal requires proving that Turing machines
can take directly executing Turing machines (that are not
finite string encodings) as inputs.

 But the Turing Machine that is directly executed CAN be represented by a finite string,.
 

In the case of pathological self-reference the
representation has different behavior than the
directly executed machine and halt deciders only
report on the actual behavior actually specified
by their inputs.

Your lack of sufficient technical competence never
has been my mistake. You baselessly claim that I am
wrong yet never show the reasoning that shows that
I am wrong *BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT I AM CORRECT*

Since it CAN be represented as a finite string, it IS in the domain that they can handle,
 

*It has provably different behavior*

To ignore the ability to represent means you ignore their ability to do anything useful.
 

*It has provably different behavior*

I will ask you try to do something useful without representations!!!
  Note, Words are representations.
 Letters and Digits are representations.
 Messages sent over media are representations.
 Saying you can't use representtions means you can basically do NOTHING, and the finite string they work with are just meaningless.
 Just like your life, MEANINGLESS as you lost the key to reality, the understanding of real meaning.
