No, it does not. The input is DD specifides exactly the same sequence
of steps as DD. HHH just answers about a different sequence of steps
instead of the the seqeunce specified by its input.

H should simulate its actual input D that calls the aborting H, not a
hypothetical version of D that calls a pure simulator.

refers to the same HHH that DD calls yet this hypothetical HHH does not
abort.

Then it is not the same HHH.

You cannot possibly show the exact execution trace where DD is
correctly emulated by HHH and this emulated DD reaches past its own
machine address [0000213c].

Duh, no simulator can simulate itself correctly. But HHH1 can simulate
DD/HHH.

HHH does simulate itself correctly yet must create a separate process
context for each recursive emulation.
Each process context has its own stack and set of virtual registers.

No, HHH simulates only one program.

  A lie, as you have admitted otherwise on the record:
 

AS I HAVE SAID HUNDREDS OF TIMES AND YOU DISHONESTLY IGNORE
Correct emulation is defined as DD is emulated by
HHH according to the rules of the x86 language.
