 I don't trust you not to cheat, of course, but I invite anyone else to feed this code to the OP's decision program and report on the result.
 

sufficiently proves that you
have no basis for *the exact meaning of my specific claim*

 The exact meaning of your specific claim is of no consequence

You can't freaking correctly determine that nitwit unless
you first pay 100% attention to exactly what I said.
Here  is is greatly dumbed down;
DDD correctly emulated by HHH DOES NOT HALT.
Anything more than this is way over your head.

 unless it's attempting to overturn Turing's `On Computable Numbers'. If that's what you're trying to do, then you've certainly got guts because you're trying to square the circle.
 If that's /not/ what you're trying to do, then you need to work on your communication skills.
