Proving that the simulation is incorrect. Because a correct simulation
would not abort a halting program halfway its simulation.

Just for clarity, a correct simulation wouldn't abort a non-halting

 Welcome back.
I stipulate that I am referring to 1 to ∞ steps of correct
emulation according to the semantics of the x86 language.
 This means that when HHH does correctly emulate 1 step
that *it is a correct emulation* of this 1 step,

But not a correct simulation of a program. The x86 language specifies that it is insufficient to interpret only one instruction of a program. For a correct simulation of a halting program, all instructions must be simulated.
Maybe you don't know the x86 language well enough to understand that the behaviour of a program is not defined by the first few instructions.

thus
making everyone that disagrees disagree with a tautology
making them look foolish.

 We stipulate that the only measure of a correct emulation
is the semantics of the x86 programming language. By this
measure when 1 to ∞ steps of DDD are correctly emulated
by each pure function x86 emulator HHH (of the infinite
set of every HHH that can possibly exist) then DDD cannot
possibly reach past its own machine address of 0000216b
and halt.

Which proves that the simulation is incomplete and, therefore, incorrect.
You proved again that HHH cannot possibly simulate itself correctly.
Even when you wish it very very much that it is correct and even if you repeat it a thousand times more, that will not make it correct.
A correct simulation by another simulator shows that the correct simulation is possible, but not by HHH itself.
