YOU don't understand the rules of the x86 code, or don't care if you are wrong, as NOTHING in the x86 language allows the leaving of the direct exectuion thread and into showing the code the simulator being simulated is simulating. The ONLY correct answer is showing it doing the simulating.

Second, it is NOT the trace you keep on claiming but is the trace that x86UTM makes of running main, with the trace that the levels of HHH do inserted (WITHOUT COMMENT) into the listing, making the trace that HHH generats hard to find.

The length of the wrong trace starts on page 38, so there are only about 160 pages of trace (the rest is an assembly listing of the program, useful to understand the trace, but not part of the trace itself) and there are only 1 to 2 lines from HHH per page, so a trace of just what HHH does would be only about 200-300 LINES long, not 200 pages, and not beyond what many people can handle, especially when you remove the cruft of having to wade through all the other junk that isn't the trace that HHH makes.

There are also clearly functions that are not even correctly listed in the assembly listings, nor traced, that seem to be hooks to make OS calls. That isn't totally unreasonable, but not clearly marked as such.

First, that isn't a trace generated by HHH emulating DDD, but by x86UTM emulating HHH, so your claim is just a type error.

Then when I look at this emulation, we see that HHH *ONLY* emulates those first 4 instructions of HHH and no more,

One thing I do note is that the trace sees conditional jump instructions in the trace, but your "rule" is that there can be no conditional instructions see in the full loop, so something is wrong.

One instruction I see is:
Page 79, simulated the JNZ 00001335 at address 000012f8
Why wasn't this counted as a conditional instruction in the trace?
(That means the recursion isn't unconditional)

PO's rule is that there must be no conditional branch instructions *WITHIN DDD*.  Conditional branch instructions in HHH are simulated, and with suitable compilation options [I think it is the TRACE_USER_CODE_ONLY pre-processing symbol that needs to be undefined] those instructions will also be LOGGED.  Well, you're seeing the result of that on page 79 of the PDF file.
>
Distinction between what is LOGGED (by x86utm.exe), and what goes into the global trace table examined by HHH:   The former is an x86utm ("supervisor?") concept.  The latter is HHH application logic - HHH implements the tests for "non-halting" patterns, and only needs to capture trace entries needed to apply its rules.  For example, since the rules explicitly ignore trace entries from HHH, HHH doesn't need to capture them.  You can see those trace entries in the x86utm LOG, which is why the log is the way to go, when working out what's going on and why.
>
Just to be 100% clear for PO's benefit, when I say HHH "only needs to capture trace entries needed to apply its rules" I am not suggesting those rules are correct - just that from a coding perspective, there's no point in a program capturing data that is irrelevent for it's later processing.  As an example here, PO adds trace entries to his global trace table which are of no interest to any of his rules!  Really, he is only interested in branches, calls, and the likes, but he captures everything DDD does like "mov ebp,esp" or whatever which his rules all ignore...  Not an issue in practice because his trace captures [given other filtering] are tiny.  Might become important for capacity reasons if PO wanted to include HHH entries, but he doesn't.

Now, anyone thinking sensibly at this point is going to ask *WHY* does PO's rule
*exclude conditional branches within HHH* when they are obviously critical to halting?  PO will never explain that.

Which is only correct if HHH actuallly does a complete and correct emulation, or the behavior DDD (but not the emulation of DDD by HHH) will reach that return.
Remember, since you put this into the context of "Halting", that behavior is ONLY indicated by reference to a COMPLETE execution or COMPLETE emulation of the program.
Also remember "DDD" refers to the PROGRAM DDD (since that is what Halting talks about), and thus include the code of HHH, and thus changing the HHH that DDD calls changes DDD, and it is a different input.
Your statement is NOT true, if you allow "correctly emulated" to include partial emulation, and thus by making this assertion, you are stipulating that the only meaning you are making of "correct emulation" is a complete emulation.
But, we also have the fact that you have admitted that you have defied the rules of theory, as you have said that "DDD is only the C function, and not a program", at which point your whole argument is based on a type error, Halting is about PROGRAMS, complete collections of all the instructions used to decide the results, and not the C concept of a function that can use other resources outside of itself.
We alos have the confirmed violation of the decider needing to be a "pure" function, in that HHH uses accesses to global memory to know it if is the outer decier, or is an emulated decider, and changes its behavior based on that. This just proves that you whole claim has been a LIE and should be put in the trash heap.
Of course, you don't understand any of this, as you have made yourself INTENTIONALLY ignorant of how the logic field works, and clearly have no understanding of the actual nature of Formal Logic Systems or Truth.
