The x86utm operating system: https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm enables
one C function to execute another C function in debug step mode.
Simulating Termination analyzer H simulates the x86 machine code of its
input (using libx86emu) in debug step mode until it correctly matches a
correct non-halting behavior pattern proving that its input will never
stop running unless aborted.

D correctly simulated by H cannot possibly reach past its own line 03.

The above execution trace proves that (for every H/D pair of the
infinite set of H/D pairs) each D(D) simulated by the H that this D(D)
calls cannot possibly reach past its own line 03.

When you say "every H/D pair" you should specify which set of pairs
you are talking about. As you don't, your words don't mean anything.

Every H/D pair in the universe where D(D) is simulated by the
same H(D,D) that D(D) calls. This involves 1 to ∞ steps of D
and also includes zero to ∞ recursive simulations where H
H simulates itself simulating D(D).

These H/D pairs can be enumerated by the one to ∞ simulated steps of D and involve zero to ∞ recursive simulations of H simulating itself simulating D(D). Every time Lines 1,2,3 are simulated again defines
one more level of recursive simulation.

Is this the definition of the infinite set of H? We can think of many more simulations that only these.

No-one can possibly show one element of this set where D(D) reaches

If H is a decider of any kind then the D build from it reaches its line
4 as numberd above. Whether the simulation of D by H reaches that line
is another question.

HH is completely broken - it uses a global variable which is allows HH to detect whether it is the outer HH or a nested (simulated) HH.  As a result, the nested HH behaves completely differently to the outer HH - I mean /completely/ differently: it goes through a totally separate "I am called in nested mode" code path!

 The encoding of HH is not the pure function that it needs to be to
be a computable function.
 *Maybe you can settle this*
 The disagreement is entirely over an enormously much simpler thing.
The disagreement is that Richard says that a D simulated by H could
reach past its own line 03 and halt.

Here's the proof:
1. A simulation always produces an identical execution trace to the direct execution.
2. The direct execution reaches past line 03 and halts.
3. Therefore, the simulation reaches past line 03 and halts.
So far, you have only shown things that are not simulations, but you called them "simulations" anyway because you are a liar.
