Your problem is you keep on ILEGALLY changing the input in your argument because you have misdefined what the input is.

It seems that you do not understand x86 language. The input is not a string of bytes, but an address (00002163). This points to the starting of the code of DDD. But a simulation needs a program, not a function calling undefined other functions. Therefore, all functions called by DDD (such as HHH) are included in the code to simulate.

You are talking about the behavior specified by that finite
string. When you say that a finite string *is not* a finite
string you are disagreeing with the law of identity.

It is the fact that DDD calls HHH(DDD) in recursive emulation
that makes it impossible for DDD correctly emulated by HHH to halt.

Everyone disagrees with this entirely on the basis of the strawman

different behavior.

In other words the fact that the directly executed DDD halts
because the HHH(DDD) that it calls has already aborted its
simulation proves these these two different instances of DDD
are in different process states.

Using non-standard extensions of the language may indeed permit that
unless the program is loaded to a read-only memory. The compiler is
designed so that ordinary programs can be loaded to read-only memory.
Some operating systems prevent programs from modifying themselves as
if the program were in a read-only memory, and typical compilers
compile so that the program can be run under such operating systems.

The bottom line is that an actual TM can modify its own code
while it is running when it has access to its own TM description
and it is only simulated by a UTM. In this case it can modify
itself so that its input is no longer contradictory.

 An actual Turing machine cannot change itself. A machine that can change
itself is not a Turing machine.
 If you are interested in self-modifying machines you may want to study LOTOS.
 

When a Self-Modifying Turing Machine can change itself to become
any other Turing Machine then it can eliminate the pathological
relationship to its input.

 It never was a Turing machine.
 

A self modifying TM is merely a TM description that is
simulated by a UTM and has access to itself on the UTM
tape.
This same idea can be implemented as an emulated x86 program
that knows its own machine address. Self-modifying code is
not a new idea. Applying this to TMs is a new idea.
Everyone here is acting like unconventional new ideas are
impossible because they are unconventional and new.
That is simply not the way that reality actually works. If
that was the way that reality works then technology would
never progress.
