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.

As I already said, there is not room for "can". That means there is
no room for "cannot", either. The x86 semantics of the unshown code
determines unambigously what happens.

No DDD instance of each HHH/DDD pair of the infinite set of
every HHH/DDD pair ever reaches past its own machine address of
0000216b and halts thus proving that every HHH is correct to
reject its input DDD as non-halting.

You should not say "another way" before you have one way. What you

That string does not specify what the call to an address outside of the

 It need not do that. It specifies the address of HHH and the empirical
behavior of DDD correctly emulated by HHH shows this behavior.
 Also it is stipulated that HHH is an infinite set of x86 emulators
that correctly emulate 1,2,3...∞ instructions of DDD.

It is self-evident that a simulator cannot simulate an infinite set.
So, you are talking about an infinite set of simulations, each of which is incorrect, because each of them abort one cycle too soon.
So, the simulation invariant is: The simulation is incorrect.
An infinite amount of evidence that the simulation is incorrect is sufficient proof that the simulation is incorrect.

 *THIS IS SELF EVIDENT THUS DISAGREEMENT IS INCORRECT*
DDD emulated by any pure function HHH according to the
semantic meaning of its x86 instructions never stops
running unless aborted.

But HHH is programmed to abort after N cyles, so the 'unless abort' is misleading. The simulated HHH is programmed exactly the same way, so it is incorrect to abort it, when only N-1 cycles have been simulated.
It is *self-evident* that the simulation of an halting function is incorrect, unless simulated up to the end.
DDD is a misleading and unneeded complication. It is easy to eliminate DDD:
        int main() {
          return HHH(main);
        }
This has the same problem. This proves that the problem is not in DDD, but in HHH, which halts when it aborts the simulation, but it decides that the simulation of itself does not halt.
HHH is unable to decide about finite recursions.
void Finite_Recursion (int N) {
   if (N > 0) Finite_Recursion (N - 1);
}
It decides after N recursions that there is an infinite recursion, which is incorrect.
Your HHH is programmed to abort the simulation after N cycles of recursive simulations. Therefore, it is incorrect to abort the simulation of HHH when the simulated HHH has performed only N-1 cycles, because that changes the behaviour of HHH.
Since the simulated HHH always runs one cycle behind the simulating HHH, it is clear that HHH can never simulate enough cycles for a correct simulation, as is required by the x86 language.
Therefore, the simulation is incorrect according to the criteria you stipulated.
The conclusion is simple:
HHH cannot possibly simulate itself correctly.
No matter how much you want it to be correct, or how many times you repeat that it is correct, it does not change the fact that such a simulation is incorrect, because it is unable to reach the end.
Your own claim that the simulated HHH does not reach its end confirms it. The trace you have shown also proves that HHH cannot reach the end of its own simulation. So, your own claims prove that it is true that HHH cannot possibly simulate itself up to the end, which makes the simulation incorrect.
Sipser would agree that this incorrect simulation cannot be used to detect a non-halting behaviour.
