It has always been a mathematical mapping from finite
strings to behaviors. That people do not comprehend this
shows the shallowness of the depth of the learned-by-rote
(lack of) understanding.

Yes, it is a mapping of the string to the behavior, and that mapping is DEFINED to be the halting behavior of the program the string describes.

No this is incorrect. The input finite string specifies
(not merely describes) non halting behavior to its decider.

No, since the definition of "Halting Behavior" is the behavior of the progran being run.

It may seem that way to people that have learned-by-rote

A termination analyzer computes the mapping from finite
strings to the actual behavior that these finite strings
specify. That this is not dead obvious to everyone here
merely proves that learned-by-rote does not involve any
actual comprehension.

And the behavior the finite string specifies is the behavior of running the program.

That is verifiably factually incorrect.
The running program has a different execution trace
than the behavior that DD specifies to HHH.

If so, then it proves the failure of the simulation. The simulation aborts too soon on unsound grounds, one cycle before the normal termination of the program.

DD simulated by HHH cannot possibly terminate normally
is a verified fact.

Which proves that HHH fails to make a correct decision about DD's halting behaviour. All other methods (direct execution, simulation by a world class simulator, etc.) show that DD halts. But HHH fails to see it. Everyone with sufficient understanding of programming sees that HHH is not correctly programmed when it aborts one cycle before the simulation would end normally.

You lack the ability to do the execution trace

Your first problem is that function "DD" isn't a "program" by itself, but only becomes one when you include as part of it the code for HHH. And thus, the specific HHH that exists at this exact point IS HHH, and it can not be changed.
It is this same way for every halting problem instance.
It is an easily verified fact that DD cannot possibly reach
its own "if" statement when-so-ever HHH is a simulating
termination analyzer.
The only reason that the halting problem proof has never
been refuted before is that everyone always rejected
simulation as a basis out-of-hand without review. They
simply did not bother to think things all-the-way through.
