 Any input that must be aborted to prevent the non

behavior or it would never need to be aborted.

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

Any input that must be aborted to prevent the non
termination of HHH necessarily specifies non-halting
behavior or it would never need to be aborted.
 Disagreeing with the above is analogous to disagreeing
with arithmetic.

 That the input is aborted does not mean that the input must 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.

 No, it is not. Both "need to be" and "must be" are different from "is".
The correct asxiom is "If the program can be executed to its halting in
a finite time then the program specifies a halting behaviour."
 

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.

 Nothing that contains the word "necessitates" is a fact, either.
Perhaps you should learn some philosophy.

 DDD emulated by HHH according to the semantic meaning of
its x86 instructions never stops running unless aborted.

 That Professor Sipser does not express any agreement with anything
about the syntax of facts is not relevant to our (or any) discussion
about syntax of facts.

 int main { DDD(); } calls HHH(DDD) that must abort the
emulation of its input or HHH, emulated DDD and executed DDD
never stop running.

If HHH can detect that a part of the code to be emulated ie HHH itself it
may skip the emulation of itself and continue from the return. The knowledge
that HHH always terminates can be coded in HHH. Therefore the abortion is
not necessary.
