Every C programmer that knows what an x86 emulator is knows
that when H0 emulates the machine language of Infinite_Loop,
Infinite_Recursion, and DDD that it must abort these emulations
so that itself can terminate normally.

When this is construed as non-halting criteria then simulating

non-halting by returning 0 to its caller.

Simulating termination analyzers must report on the behavior
that their finite string input specifies thus H0 must report
that DDD correctly emulated by H0 remains stuck in recursive
simulation.

Richard just said that he affirms that when DDD correctly
simulated by HHH calls HHH(DDD) that this call returns even
though the semantics of the x86 language disagrees.

 What in the sematics of the x86 language, which INCLUDES that ever instruction WILL be followed by the next instruction, says that the HHH that is calld by DDD won't eventually return.
