The notions of a low and high sets were introduced, I think by Soare, in the context of the dense structure of degrees of those sets which are neither r.e. neither recursive. My question is:

Why are all examples of "natural" decision problems (the spectral gap problem for example) reducible to the halting language and none are low or high?
