Do you know what recursion is?
(If you don't that would explain a lot)

As usual irrelevant claims without evidence. No rebuttal.

HHH has a bug that makes that it does not recognise the halting behaviour of the program specified in the input.

Even a beginner can see that the input is a pointer to code, including the code to abort and halt. But HHH is programmed to ignore the conditional branch instructions, when simulating itself, so it thinks that there is an infinite loop when there are only a finite number of recursions.
But Olcott does not understand that not all recursions are infinite.

The failure of HHH is an incorrect measure for the halting behaviour specified in the input.
That you do not understand this explains your invalid claims.
The halting behaviour of the input can be analysed by several other methods and they show that HHH is incorrect in its analysis.

There is no need to report about another Turing Machine.

The conventional halting problem proof incorrectly requires this.
void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}
int main()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   DDD();
}
When the input to HHH(DDD) is correctly simulated
by HHH then HHH correctly rejects this input as
specifying non-halting behavior.
The directly executed DDD() halts yet is not and cannot
be an input to HHH, thus it outside of the domain of HHH.

 It only needs to report about its input. In this case the input includes the abort code and in this way specifies a halting program.

You keep getting confused about the program under test here.
If HHH was the program under test the the internals of HHH
would be relevant.
Since DDD is the program under test and HHH remains a pure
simulator of DDD until HHH correctly determines that DDD
correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly reach its own
simulated "return" statement final halt state, the internals
of HHH cease to be relevant.

If the simulator is unable to see that, that does not change the specification, but only demonstrates the failure of the simulator.
