Not interested;  sorry.  I was concerned only to point out that
the idea of a "simulating halt decider", or any similar phrase, was not
new in 2004, but has been well-known for many [at least 60] years.  If
you choose to waste your remaining time on this planet trying to do the
impossible, go ahead.  I shan't be joining you, so this will be my last
contribution to the debate unless something interesting crops up.  "DD"
and "HHH" and similar aren't in the least bit interesting to me;  I'm
astonished that others are so fascinated, but that's up to them.
