Everyone understands that DDD specifies a halting behaviour if HHH(DDD) does,

behavior or it would never need to be aborted.

Weasel words. This is an axiom:
Input XXX must be aborted to prevent the non-termination of HHH.

 That is not an acceptable axiom. That you are unable to prove that
either XXX is aborted or HHH does not terminate is insufficient
reason to call it an axiom.
 

*Premise* (assumed to be true)
Any input that must be aborted to prevent
the non termination of HHH
*Logically entailed by the above premise*
necessarily specifies non-halting behavior or
it would never need to be aborted.

From the fact that XXX must be aborted we can conclude that XXX must be aborted.

 Nothing that contains the word "must" is a fact.
 

When simulated input X stops running {if and only if}
the simulation of this input X has been aborted this
necessitates that input X specifies non-halting behavior.

I can't see how you were simply not flat out dishonest.

 That you cannot do something without being dishoest does not prevent us.
