So we agree that no algorithm exists that can determine for all possible inputs whether the input specifies a program that (according to the semantics of the machine language) halts when directly executed.
Correct?
Correct. We can, however, construct such an algorithm just as long as we can ignore any input we don't like the look of.
The behavior of the direct execution of DD cannot be derived
by applying the finite string transformation rules specified
by the x86 language to the input to HHH(DD). This proves that
this is the wrong behavior to measure.
It is the behavior THAT IS derived by applying the finite
string transformation rules specified by the x86 language
to the input to HHH(DD) proves that THE EMULATED DD NEVER HALTS.
Similarly, we can construct a list that contains all possible real numbers just as long as we can ignore any iffy numbers that smell a funny colour.
