One should not that "D simulated by H" is not the same as
"simulation of D by H". The message below seems to be more
about the latter than the former. In any case, it is more
about the properties of H than about the properties of D.

D specifies what is essentially infinite recursion to H.
Several people agreed that D simulated by H cannot possibly
reach past its own line 03 no matter what H does.

Nope, it is only that if H fails to be a decider.

You admit that people see that as being a claim about the Halting Problem, and thus the implied definitons of the terms apply.
This is obvious from your twenty year context of the arguement.
If you want to disconnect your recent statements from your past context, you need to make an EXPLICIT repudiation that this is where you are going to try to go, and that you accept that you can't just blindly connect things back there just because of similar words.
Then, you are going to need to FORMALLY define the meaning of your words that you are using. What are the restrictions on the "C Function" that is trying to make the decision, and what defines "behavior"?
What are the restrictions on the "C Function" to be processed? This is particularrly important as it appears that you allow that function to have "unbound" references to things that are not part of it (like H).
What exactly do you men by "Simulation"? In particular, what does it mean to correctly simulate a part of the input that isn't actually part
of the input (like the call to H)?
Then lastly, why should we care? If you can't put it into the framework of an established problem, why should people even care about what you are doing?
It is clear that you long term goal is to get back to the Halting Problem and what it implies about the non-provability of some truths and the inability to alway know if a statement is true.
You are just setting yourself up for failure, as every time you try to move this "problem" closer to that, you are going to invalidate some of the assumption built into your proof, and it then needs to be redone. Of course, your idea is probably that you can get people to forget the definitions the earlier parts were built under, after you re-stipulate meanings over and over, and thus shouldn't be able to reach past the definition change, but you will.

 We are only concerned with the behavior of a pair of C functions.
Unless I require that reviewers proceed through every slight nuance
of details of my reasoning they simply ignore my words and leap to
the conclusion that I must be wrong.
Because, we know that you are, because you WILL try to link it back to your previous claims.
You have shown that you just don't understand the meaning of the words that you use.

 *It will be increasingly more clear that your rebuttals are baseless*
*It will be increasingly more clear that your rebuttals are baseless*

No, it is increasingly clear that you are totally ignorant of the topic that you claimed to be working on.
It is increasingly clear that you just have no ground to base your claims on.
If they had a base, you could start from the side next to what is actually known and proven, and work from that side. The fact that you can't, just means that your logic is most likely invalid.

 
Since you claim H to be a decider, D can not have infinite recursion, because H must return in finite time.

Yes, we get two different, and contradictory, sets of results depending on which facts we look at. The cause of this is the principle of explosion, that somewhere in our setup we have a false premise, and that turns out to be that there can exist an H that can correctly determine the halting status of its input, or in particular, the input built by this formula.

This system enables one C function to execute another C function
in debug step mode. When H simulates D it creates a separate process
context for D with its own memory, stack and virtual registers. H
is able to simulate D simulating itself, thus the only limit to
recursive simulations is RAM.

Is it dead obvious to everyone here when examining the execution
trace of lines 14 and 06 above that D correctly simulated by H cannot
possibly terminate normally by reaching its own line 09?
