Chaitin's constant is not a single number. Rather, for any Turing-complete subset of any computable language, Chaitin's constant is the measure of the subset; it's the probability that a randomly-chosen member of the computable language is also an element of that subset.

Not fixed enough. There's implementation-dependent stuff in brainfuck which affects the constant. Consider the program +[+]. Does it halt? It depends on cell size and value wrapping. It may halt with one brainfuck interpreter and loop forever in another. --Blashyrkh (talk) 13:04, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
