ZFC Doesn’t Refute Russell’s Paradox — It Avoids It
ZFC doesn’t show Russell’s paradox is false — it restricts the language so
that the paradoxical construction is no longer valid.
Likewise, your SHD does not refute the Halting Problem proof — it merely
redefines the space of programs it will consider.
📌 Conclusion: Avoiding a contradiction by changing rules is not the same
as disproving it.
Proving that the rules have always been incoherent nonsense
does seem to refute them.
