HHH emulates this DD.

You don't understand this simple entanglement.

  If the influence is that it does not complete the simulation, but aborts it, then the programmer should understand that the simulated simulation has the same behaviour, causing halting behaviour.

We have only been talking abort normal termination of a
C function for several weeks. Perhaps you have no
idea what "normal termination" means.

Aborting a program with halting behaviour

We have not been talking about halting for a long
time. This term has proven to be far too vague.
Normal termination of a C function means reaching
its "return" instruction. Zero vagueness.

 does not change it into non- halting. It is childish to claim that when you close your eyes, things do not happen.

You can't even keep track of what we are talking about.
