We stipulate that the only measure of a correct emulation is the
semantics of the x86 programming language.
When N steps of DDD are emulated by HHH according to the semantics
of the x86 language then N steps are emulated correctly.
When we examine the infinite set of every HHH/DDD pair such that:
HHH₁ one step of DDD is correctly emulated by HHH.
HHH₂ two steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.
...
HHH∞ The emulation of DDD by HHH never stops running.
The above specifies the infinite set of every HHH/DDD pair where 1
to infinity steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.

You should use the indices here, too, e.g., "where 1 to infinity
steps of DDD₁ are correctly emulated by HHH₃" or whatever you mean.

DDD is the exact same fixed constant finite string that always calls
HHH at the same fixed constant machine address.

If the function called by DDD is not part of the input then the input
does not specify a behaviour and the question whether DDD halts is
ill-posed.

We don't care about whether HHH halts. We know that HHH halts or fails
to meet its design spec.
We are only seeing if DDD correctly emulated by HHH can can possibly
reach its own final state.

HHH does not see even that. It only sees whther that it does not
emulate DDD to its final state.

No. HHH is not judging whether or not itself is a correct emulator. The
semantics of the x86 instructions that emulates prove that its emulation
is correct.

You have been saying for a while that HHH returns what it would report
on its input DDD. Glad to see you come around.

Only because DDD calls HHH(DDD) in recursive emulation it is impossible
for DDD correctly emulated by HHH to reach past its own machine address
of 0000216b.

It is not impossible. The simulated HHH aborts just the same and returns
to DDD.

But we can see more, in particuar that DDD() halts if HHH(DDD) does.

It is still a fact that HHH(DDD) was required to abort its emulation.

Just no.

Anyway, if the function DDD calls is not a part of the input then the
question whether DDD halts is not well-posed and can only be ansered
with a conditional.

We are analyzing whether or not DDD halts.
We are NOT analyzing whether or not HHH halts.

Whether DDD halts depends entirely on HHH, because DDD does nothing
else but call it.
