Liz,
No, that doesn't make Reality subject to the halting problem. The
halting problem is when a computer program is trying to reach some
independently postulated result and may or may not be able to reach
it.
Reality doesn't have any problem like this. It just computes the
logical results of the evolution of the current information state of
the universe. There are no independently postulated states that
aren't directly computed by reality which reality then attempts to
reach (prove).
This contradicts both comp and QM.

Reality is analogous to a running software program. Godel's Theorem
does not apply. A human could speculate as to whether any
particular state of Reality could ever arise computationally and it
might be impossible to determine that, but again that has nothing
to do with the actual operation of Reality,since it is only a
particular internal mental model of that reality.
Wouldn't that make reality susceptible to the halting problem?
