And, since the HHH that DDD calls will abort is emulation, it WILL return to DDD and it will return also.

Nope. YOU don't understand the meaning of the terms, perhaps because you don't understand what REALITY is.

The "Behavior of the Input" comes from the input alone, and doesn't depend on the emulator doing anything.

Static strings do not become dynamic processes unless
and until they are simulated.

 And THAT behavior is of the simulator.
 Static Strings for Behavior Questions need to represent something that HAS Behavior, which is a program, and the behavior in question will be when that program is run.
 

Therefore when a interpreter interprets source-code
then this source-code remains a static text string
that cannot possibly be debugged dynamically because
it is just sitting there doing nothing.
