When we assume that:
(a) HHH is an x86 emulator that is in the same memory space as DDD.
(b) HHH emulates DDD according to the semantics of the x86 language.

Yes, we see. In fact DDD is not needed at all.

You should also point a link to the equivocation fallacy. You use it

Isomorphism is not equivocation

 The use of HHH for many purposes (a specific program, an unpsecified
memeber of a set of programs, a hypothetical program) is.
 Your first posting looked like you were going to apply equivocation
later in the discussion. Now, after several later messages, it seems
that you want to apply the fallacy of "moving the goal posts" instead.
 

void EEE()
{
   HERE: goto HERE;
   return;
}
HHH correctly predicts what the behavior of EEE would
be if this HHH never aborted its emulation of EEE.
void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}
HHH correctly predicts what the behavior of DDD would
be if this HHH never aborted its emulation of DDD.
