let's take a look:

In line 1137, we compute a flag:
u32 Root = Init_Halts_HH(&Aborted, &execution_trace, &decoded, &code_end,
(u32)P, &master_state, &slave_state, &slave_stack);
In line 918, we find it basically checks for the magic number
**execution_trace==0x90909090. What is this unexplained value?

We then pass the saved flag in line 1143:
if (Decide_Halting_HH(&Aborted, &execution_trace, &decoded,
code_end, End_Of_Code, &master_state, &slave_state, &slave_stack, Root)),
defined in line 1030.
Then we get a switch:
1059    if (Root)  // Master UTM halt decider
Line 1070 is then conditionally skipped:
Needs_To_Be_Aborted_HH((Decoded_Line_Of_Code*)**execution_trace);
defined in line 1012, which (on a jmp or call instruction) calls
u32 Needs_To_Be_Aborted_Trace_HH(Decoded_Line_Of_Code* execution_trace,
                                  Decoded_Line_Of_Code *current)
in line 964, where the abort logic lives. (It basically triggers
on a call or jump to itself.)

So we only abort depending on the address of the execution trace.
This makes no sense. Why is that?

HHH is infallibly correct to report that this DD emulated
by HHH (not any other DD in the whole freaking universe)
is not-terminating.

 No, HHH doesn't see the actual behavior define by the x86 processor, as it aborts its simulaiton before it gets there. You just don't know what "correct" means,
 

If you cannot provide the correct first fifteen steps of
DD correctly emulated by HHH to show exactly how I am wrong
then everyone that understands these things will understand
that YOUR REBUTTAL HAS NO BASIS.
I am writing this for my posthumous reviewers.
