But your task is to decide for /any/ program, not just DDD. That, as you are so fond of saying, is 'stipulated', and you can't get out of it. The whole point of the Entscheidungsproblem is its universality. Ignore that, and you have nothing.

HHH is the infinite set of every possible C function
that correctly emulates N steps of its input where
N any finite positive integer.

Proving that HHH[0] ... HHH[N} are unable to correctly complete the simulation.

void Infinite_Loop()
{
   HERE: goto HERE;
   return;
}
void Infinite_Recursion()
{
   Infinite_Recursion();
   return;
}
In the exact same way that HHH cannot complete the
simulation of the above functions.
BECAUSE THEY SPECIFY NON-TERMINATING BEHAVIOR.
