Ben clearly agrees that the above criteria have been met,
yet feels that professor Sipser was tricked into agreeing
that this means that:

The biggest problem is your H/P interlocking program pair is something outside the normal scope of Computation theory.

The way you have built your Deicder/Decider combination isn't actualy within the definition of normal Computaiton Theory, as that would have Decider as a totally independent program from the program it is deciding on.

Your H and D aren't that sort of thing because they are interwined into a single memory space, and even share code.

This makes some things possible to do about the pair that can not be done if they were independent programs, like H being able to detect that D calls itself (but not copies of itself, which is why you don't allow those copies, as that breasks your lie).

Ever heard of string comparison?
H can detect that D calls copies of itself.
That merely makes the details more complex.

When you consider that the input is antagonistic, it can also intentionally make alterations that do not change the outward behavior, but do change the byte code.

Another of the big effect of thins, is that the way you defined it, D actually does have access to the decider that is going to decide it (if we follow your rule and name the decider H). This can turn what used to be an independent fully defined program P into a dependent program template.

The key issue is that by my basis structure that applies equally
to DD correctly simulated by HH as it applies to ⟨Ĥ⟩ correctly
simulated by embedded_H is that the paradoxical decision point
cannot be reached. This converts the "impossible" problem into a
difficult one.

Nope. Your basic structure can not be converted back into a pair of Turing Machihes, showing it isn't based on actual Computations.

Undet THAT condition, Ben agreed that yoUr H could conclude that no version of H could simulate the version of D that uses it, to its final state. Since P is a template, and not a program, it doesn't have the normal Objective definition of behavior, and thus your subjective one might need to be used, even with its problems.

But your criteria isn't a legal critieria. The "Behavior" of the input must be an objective property of just that input, and thus can not be something that depends on the decider looking at it.

It must depend on the decider looking at it or we are required
to ignore the actual fact that DDD does call HHH in recursive
simulation. We are certainly not allowed to ignore any actual
facts. If you can't get that then it seems we may be done talking.

  Why do you say that? Yes, it males the problem harder (in fact in some cases impossible) but that is the rule.
 You seem to have a problem with the simple fact that some maps are just imposisble to compute.
 But that MUST be true as there is an order of infinity more maps than possible deciders, so most maps must not be computable.
 It CAN'T depend on the decider,

It must depend on the decider because that is an aspect
that the execution trace of DDD correctly emulated by
HHH specifies at machine address 0000217a.
