returns 7 for sum(3,2) because you incorrectly understand how these

What else is it missing that the processor uses to execute it?

No, DD halts (when executed directly). HHH is not a halt decider, not even
for DD only.

People here stupidly assume that the outputs are not required to
correspond to the inputs.

But the direct execution of DD is computable from its description.

But neither the "direct execution" or the "simulation by HHH" are "inputs" to HHH. What is the input is the representation of the program to be decided on.

When HHH computes halting for DD is is only allowed
to apply the finite string transformations specified
by the x86 language to the machine code of DD.

The input to HHH(DD) does specify the recursive emulation

Yes, the input specifies FINITE recusive PARTIAL emulation, as the HHH that DD calls will emulate only a few instructions of DD and then return,

When the finite string transformation rules of the
x86 language are applied to the input to HHH(DD)
THIS DD CANNOT POSSIBLY REACH ITS FINAL HALT STATE
not even after an infinite number of emulated steps.

Sure it does, just after the point that HHH gives up on those transformation and aborts its (now incorrect) emulation of the input.

The directly executed DD has zero recursive invocations.
DD emulated by HHH has one recursive invocation.

Did you know that zero does not equal one?

But the direct execution DOES have a recursiove invocation, as DD calls HHH(DD) that emulated DD, just like the directly exeucted HHH will emulate DD calling HHH(DD).

I will say that more accurately.
The call from the directly executed DD returns.

The call from DD emulated by HHH to HHH(DD)
(according to the finite string transformation

Indeed, HHH is programmed such that it fails to reach the end

When any HHH emulates DD according to the finite
string transformation rules specified by the x86
language (the line of demarcation between correct
and incorrect emulation) no emulated DD can possibly
reach its final halt state and halt.
