When we create a three-valued logic system that has these

Such three valued logic has the problem that a tautology of the
ordinary propositional logic cannot be trusted to be true. For
example, in ordinary logic A ∨ ¬A is always true. This means that
some ordinary proofs of ordinary theorems are no longer valid and
you need to accept the possibility that a theory that is complete
in ordinary logic is incomplete in your logic.

If you think my reasoning is incorrect then point to the error
in my reasoning. Saying that in your opinion I am a bad teacher
is too close to ad hominem because it refers to your opinion of
me and utterly bypasses any of my reasoning.

None-the-less Mathematicians might not have very much understanding
of the link between proof theory and computability.

Sume mathematicians do have very much understanding of that. But that

When I refer to rejecting an invalid input math would seem to construe
this as nonsense, where as computability theory would totally understand.

People working on computability theory do not understand "invalid input"
as "impossible input".

The proof then shows, for any program f that might determine whether
programs halt, that a "pathological" program g, called with some input,
can pass its own source and its input to f and then specifically do the
opposite of what f predicts g will do. No f can exist that handles this
case, thus showing undecidability.

So then they must believe that there exists an H that does correctly
determine the halt status of every input, some inputs are simply
more difficult than others, no inputs are impossible.

That "must" is false as it does not follow from anything.

 

Sure it does. If there are no "impossible" inputs that entails
that all inputs are possible.

 Correct so far. However, whether there are any impossible inputs depends
on the meaning of the word "impossible". If "impossible input" means an
imput that cannot be an input then of course every input is possible.
 

In computability theory and computational complexity theory, an
undecidable problem is a decision problem for which it is proved to be
impossible to construct an algorithm that always leads to a correct yes-
or-no answer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undecidable_problem
Inputs not having an algorithm leading to a correct YES/NO
answer are called impossible inputs.

 When all inputs are possible then
the halting problem proof is wrong.

 That is not true.
