Non-Halting isn't just did reach a final state in some finite number of steps, but that it will NEVER reach a final state even if you process an unbounded number of steps.

You asked about an "unbounded emulation of DDD by HHH" but that isn't possible, as HHH doesn't do that.

So, you agree that HHH1's emulation to the completion shows that the complete emulation of the input to HHH does halt, and thus the correct answer for HHH to give for *THIS* input, which has implicitly included *THIS* HHH as part of it, is that it halts.

Nothing like this.
You continue to fail to understand that halting
requires reaching the "return" instruction final
halt state. DDD emulated by HHH never does this.

But the emulation by HHH isn't the correct measure of DDD reaching its return statement.

Well we did get somewhere on this so that is more progress.
Only reaching the final state is halting.

 And only something that continues to the end shows that, an emulation that aborts doesn't show that the input is non-halting unless it can prove that the unaborted emulation of that EXACT PROGRAM would never halt.

(a) Finite string of x86 machine code DDD +

 Which include the code of the HHH that DDD calls, which you have said is the HHH that aborts and returns the answer.
 

(b) The semantics of the x86 language +

 Which is the defintion of doing *EVERY* instruction, just as presented, and not stopping until you reach a conclusion, something HHH doesn't do, so HHH's emulation doesn't follow this.
 

(c) DDD is calling its own termination analyzer

 Which is irrelevent as it has nothing to do with "x86 langugage semantics", and when taken into account mean that HHH *MUST* return to DDD, and thus DDD MUST halt.
 Thus proving that HHH is wrong, and you are just a liar.
 

∴ HHH is correct to reject its input as non-halting

 Nope, just proves that you fail to understand how to do logic, but believe that lying is an acceptable form of logic.
 

>
*THIS IS THE PART THAT YOU PRETEND TO NOT SEE*
We can only get to the behavior of the directly executed
DDD() by ignoring (b).

 How is that? You seem unable to explain, only make false claims.
 The sementics of the x86 language say that the input does what it does when executed. PERIOD.
 So, your saying that the x86 semantics only show something when you ignore the x86 semantics is just an admission that you are lying.

No contradiciton in that, unlike your claim that HHH can do a partial emulation to predict what it itself would do when it does a complete emulation of the exact same input using the exact same code.

Think of HHH as a "watchdog" that steps in during real
execution to stop DDD() from running forever. But when
HHH simulates DDD(), it's analyzing an "idealized" version
of DDD() where nothing stops the recursion. In the simulation,
DDD() is seen as endlessly recursive, so HHH concludes that
it would not halt without external intervention.

 It is when you OMIT some of it. Only the WHOLE TRUTH is the truth, a partial truth is just a lie.
 

How can the full finite string of x86 machine code
that calls the full finite string of HHH code lie?

You clearly don't understand what a PROGRAM is, and that the PROGRAM DDD must include the code for the HHH that it calls.
 

*I have told you that it does dozens and dozens of times*
HHH emulates itself emulating DDD
HHH emulates itself emulating DDD
HHH emulates itself emulating DDD
HHH emulates itself emulating DDD
HHH emulates itself emulating DDD
I can keep repeating this thousands of times
if that is what it takes for you to see it once.

It isn't analyzing an "idealized" version of its input, it is analyzing the input it is actually given, where DDD calls the existing HHH, not the idealized version of it.

You should know this, and thus all you have done is show that your logic is just based on LIES.

HHH doesn't need to actualy emulate DDD completely, just determine, like HHH1 does, that it will reach the return instruction.

That is not what the machine code of DDD that calls

 Right, so that is part of the input, or it can't be emulated.
 The Machine code of HHH says that it will abort its emulation and return, so that is the only correct result per the x86 language.
 

Are you really so ignorant of these things that you
think that the fact that HHH returns to main() causes
its emulated DDD to reach its own final state?
