And when it aborts, the simulation is incorrect. When HHH aborts and halts, it is not needed to abort its simulation, because it will halt of its own.

No, you try to get away with saying that a HHH that is coded to abort and halt, will never stop running, only because you are dreaming of *another* HHH that does not abort.

Unless I refer to the infinite set of every possible

 And the problem you ignore is that each HHH is given the DDD that calls itself, and not some other HHH, and thus you can't look at the other

Yet again trying to get away with saying that when every element
of an infinite set cannot reach its return instruction that some
of these elements still reach their return instruction.
My God have mercy on your soul (if you have a soul).
