This is the only topic that I will discuss and any

typedef void (*ptr)();
int HHH(ptr P);
int DD()
{
     int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
     if (Halt_Status)
       HERE: goto HERE;
     return Halt_Status;
}
int main()
{
     HHH(DD);
}
DD  correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly terminate normally.

That claim has already shown to be false. Nothing above shows that
HHH does not return 0. If it does DD also returns 0.

When we are referring to the above DD simulated by HHH and not trying
to get away with changing the subject to some other DD somewhere else

such as one that calls a non-aborting version of HHH

then anyone with sufficient knowledge of C programming knows that no
instance of DD shown above simulated by any corresponding instance of
HHH can possibly terminate normally.

Well, then that corresponding (by what?) HHH isn’t a decider.

I am focusing on the isomorphic notion of a termination analyzer.

 (There are other deciders that are not termination analysers.)
 

A simulating termination analyzer correctly rejects any input that must
be aborted to prevent its own non-termination.

Yes, in particular itself is not such an input, because we *know* that
it halts, because it is a decider. You can’t have your cake and eat it
too.
 

I am not even using the confusing term "halts".
Instead I am using in its place "terminates normally".
DD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly terminate normally.
