In if one wants to present ones claims on some significant forum then

In any case you diverged away form the whole point of this thread.
Richard is wrong when he says that there exists an H/D pair such
that D simulated by H ever reaches past its own line 03.

Yes, in the same way that you are wrong.  The above "C code" is garbage;
as already pointed out, it doesn't even compile.  So any talk of
"reaching line 3" or "matching" that "code" is vacuous nonsense.

Olcott is trying to stay at this point for several weeks now, but he does not succeed. The reason probably is, that it is already a few steps too far. First there must be agreement about the words and terms used in what he says. So, we should delay this subject and go back a few steps.
Before we can talk about this, first there must be 100% agreement about:

If needed we can write out the proof for this, starting from the axioms for natural numbers. That proof is well known.

But nobody here knows the proof for your assertion above, that it is a verified fact that it cannot reach past line 03. So, we would like to see that proof. Just the claim that it has been proven is not enough.

Are you honest? Please, give the proof, instead of keeping away from it.

 I have been an expert C/C++ programmer for decades.
If you knew C will enough yourself you would comprehend
that my claim about:

Apparently not, since you assert as obviously true statements which are false.

 Any H/D pair matching the above template where
D(D) is simulated by the same H(D,D) that it calls
cannot possibly reach past its own line 03.
This is a simple software engineering verified fact.

Maybe by your broken logic of unimaginative thinking.

 My grandfather was a diagnostician and pathologist
said: "You can't argue with ignorance".

Which you are proving by being the ignorant one.
And you CAN put out the information that shows the ignorant one is wrong, and proves how ignorant they are.
Note, you have PROVED nothing (except your ignorance), likely because you don't understand the nature of proofs in formal system, because you are just ignorant of how logic actually works.

 

You give the impression that you are clueless about how to prove it. The only evidence you gave, are the personal attacks to people who ask for it, which does not convince anybody.
It is your claim. You have the burden of the proof.
We need to be 100% sure before we can proceed to the next step.
