If you understand the x86 language and can't tell how DDD
emulated by HHH differs from DDD emulated by HHH1 by the
following then you are probably lying about understanding
the x86 language.

 We understand it perfectly. HHH cannot possibly simulate itself correctly.

You are too stupid to know that a non-halting computation
cannot be emulated to completion because completion does
not exist.
On this stupid basis you say that because HHH does not simulate
DDD to a completion that does not exist that DDD is simulated
incorrectly. Unlike pure ad hominem rebuttals I point out how
and why what you say is stupidly incorrect.

HH1 does a correct simulation, but HHH does an incomplete and therefore incorrect simulation. The incomplete simulation does not show the full behaviour of DDD.
Since skipping x86 code is against the semantics of the x86 language, it is clear where the error is.

All that you have to know is that HHH and HHH1 are x86 emulators
and that HHH sees that same repeated state (first four lines of DDD)
that anyone knowing the x86 language can see.

Local Halt Decider: Infinite Recursion Detected Simulation Stopped

 This is the error in HHH. HHH is programmed to print after two cycles that there is an infinite recursion, which is not true, after which it aborts and halts, making the simulation incorrect.
 HHH is simply unable to decide about finite recursions.
 void Finite_Recursion (int N) {
   if (N > 0) Finite_Recursion (N - 1);
}
 It decides after N recursions that there is an infinite recursion, which is incorrect. It does not see the difference between an finite and an infinite recursion.

Olcott's psychology is intriguing. At the one hand he is crying for help. He has some ideas which he cannot prove. Therefore he is begging the exports to help him with a proof.
When the experts prove that there are errors in his idea and show him a way to improve his idea, he does not have the mental intelligence to even consider the possibility that there is something incorrect in his ideas. He cannot show any error in their proofs, but he does not want to accept it.
Therefore he uses the excuse that the experts must be lying in order to be able to ignore the proofs that his ideas are wrong.
Then he keeps repeating his proven incorrect ideas, without any evidence, probably hoping that if it is repeated often enough, it will become true.
That is not how logic works.
No matter how much olcott wants it to be correct, or how many times olcott repeats that it is correct, it does not change the fact that these ideas are incorrect.
