But there is no recursive self-reference in the halting problem.
You only get that recursion when you assume that there exists a program that can solve it, which is what shows that there is not computation that can solve the halting problem.
You have just fallen for Peter Olcotts deceptive strawman definition of the halting problem, because you don't really understand what you are talking about.
