Baire category theory and Hilbert's Tenth Problem inside Q\mathbb{Q}

For a ring R, Hilbert's Tenth Problem HTP(R) is the set of polynomial equations over R, in several variables, with solutions in R. We consider computability of this set for subrings R of the rationals. Applying Baire category theory to these subrings, which naturally form a topological space, relates their sets HTP(R) to the set HTP($\mathbb{Q}$), whose decidability remains an open question. The main result is that, for an arbitrary set C, HTP($\mathbb{Q}$) computes C if and only if the subrings R for which HTP(R) computes C form a nonmeager class. Similar results hold for 1-reducibility, for admitting a Diophantine model of $\mathbb{Z}$, and for existential definability of $\mathbb{Z}$
