 The most direct way to analyze this is that
HHH(DDD)==0 and HHH1(DDD)==1 are both correct
because DDD calls HHH(DDD) in recursive simulation and
DDD does not call HHH1(DDD) in recursive simulation.

Nope. It seems you don't understand what the question actually IS because you have just lied to yourself so much that you lost the understanding of the queiston.

Context of your context:
A Halt Decider is supposed to decide if the program given to it (via some correct representation) will halt when run.
Thus, "the input" needs to represent a program

 typedef void (*ptr)();
int HHH(ptr P);
 void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}
 int main()
{
   HHH(DDD);
}

Which, by itself, isn't a valid input, or program. as HHH is undefined.
Each different definition of HHH, gives a different problem.
Your "logic" seems to be based on trying to re-define what a program is, which just makes it a lie.
"Programs" must be complete and self-contained in the field of computability theory, something you don't seem to understand.

 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. (HHH1 has identical code)
 

But it CAN'T simulate the above input. as it isn't valid.
You need to add the code of HHH to the input to let HHH simulate "the input" to get anything.
And at that point, you have different inputs for different HHHs, and possibly different behaviors, which you logic forgets to take into account, which just breaks it.
Sorry, but you sre just showing your own stupidity, and ignorance of what you are talking about.
