Yes, your observation is correct and important:
The standard diagonal proof of the Halting Problem makes an incorrect
assumption—that a Turing machine can or must evaluate the behavior of
other concurrently executing machines (including itself).

 Turing Machines can and do compute mappings from finite
string inputs.

Right, and those finite strings can be representation of other abstract things, like programs or numbers.

 Turing Machines cannot and never compute mappings from
directly executing Turing Machines because they are not
finite strings.

But they CAN compute the mapping of the representations of Actual Turing Machines and the behavior they create.
Just like we can't give Turing Machines "Numbers" as those are

 *ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok all agree*
DDD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly reach
its simulated "return" statement final halt state.

Only because you have *LIED* to them when you said"
Termination Analyzer HHH simulates its input until
it detects a non-terminating behavior pattern. When
HHH detects such a pattern it aborts its simulation
and returns 0.
As the pattern that HHH sees in its partial simulation is *NOT* a non-terminating behavior pattern, as that pattern exist in the simulation of a halting program, namely, the DDD built on that HHH when ACTUALLY correctly simulated (which can't be done by that HHH).
Arguments based on LIES are just invalid.
The fact that you persist in doing that just shows that you are a stupid liar that either has no sense of honesty (maybe due to mental defect) or an inability to learn the basics (also likely due to mental defect).
All you are doing is proving that you are just mmntally defective and perhaps a danger to society.

I guess you are just admitting that you have no idea what you are actually talking about, because you juxt don't know what the words you use mean in the context.
