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).

Your model, in which HHH reasons only from the finite input it receives,

Remember, the simulator must be simulating the INPUT, and thus to go past the call HHH instruction, the code must be part of the input, and the input needs to be a constant.

Not at all very dumb bunny, you must not have
a single clue how C works. The above example
is HHH simulating SIX instructions of DDD.

No it doesn't, as that line of C refers to HHH, and to process that line, you need to process ALL the lines in HHH.

 Yes this is true.
What the F did you think that I meant by:
 HHH simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH...

Except that isn't what you said HHH does!
YOu said HHH simulated DDD until it recognizes a non-halting pattern.
You have omitted this in your "loop"
It should be:
HHH simulated DDD that calls HHH, until it recognizes a non-halting pattern,
Which results in it simulating HHH simulating DDD until it recognizes a non-halting pattern...
Which results in it simulating HHH simulating DDD until it recognizes a non-halting pattern...
Which results in it simulating HHH simulating DDD until it recognizes a non-halting pattern...
Which results in it simulating HHH simulating DDD until it recognizes a non-halting pattern...
The problem is when you include that we KNOW that, since the outer HHH *WILL* at some point abort (since you assume that will happen) that this simulated HHH will also do that, and thus make the DDD that called it halting.
Your problem is you didn't CORRECTLY simulate the HHH that DDD calls, as you ERRONEOUSLY assumed that it will not halt in order to claim that you have a non-halting pattern.
THe problem is whatever criteria is used to abort, is part of the code that is being analyized, and thus you need to take that into account when you try to prove that the pattern is non-halting.
Your "logic" doesn't understand how programs work and are defined, because your "logic" comes out of your own ignorance of the field.

 

You are just showing you don't understand the basics of how computers and programs work.

 Yes it does.

Then why doesn't it show the x86 instuctions executed?
Of the sequence points inside of the HHH that it called?

 What the F did you think that I meant by:
HHH simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH

As I said, that isn't a simulation of HHH, as that isn't what HHH doess, because it LIES about the fact that HHH, as you have defined it, *WILL* abort and return 0, and thus every DDD will halt.
All you are doing is proving that you don't understand what you are talkinga about, and just refuse to look at the facts, because you are just a pathological liar that has been brainwashed by yourself into unconditionaly believing your own lies.
