There is no way that DDD simulated by HHH (according
to the semantics of the C programming language)
can possibly reach its own "return" statement final
halt state.

I don't say that the decider needs to simulate the input to completion, but that it needs to be able to actually PROVE that if this exact input WAS given to a correct simultor (which won't be itself, since it isn't doing the complete simulation) will run for an unbounded number of steps.

 Unless you can quote some respectable author your prohibitions are
meaningless.
 

To people that never had any actual understanding and
can only parrot textbooks. They need to see this things
in other textbooks.
It is common knowledge that Turing Machine Halt Deciders
can only take finite string encodings of Turing Machines
as inputs. Thus anything that it not a finite string is
outside of the domain of Turing Machine Halt Deciders.
People have always know the first sentence of that and
never bothered to derive the second sentence from the first.

Most people here don't get that because they have no
actual depth of understanding. They can only parrot
the words of textbooks.

 Do you even understand what the word "allowed" means?
 

Outside of the domain is a more precise way of saying it.
