A simulation of N instructions of DDD by HHH according to the

Nope, it is just the correct PARTIAL emulation of the first N
instructions of DDD, and not of all of DDD,

That is what I said dufuss.

You were trying to label an incomplete/partial/aborted simulation as
correct.

Nope, if a HHH returns to its caller,

how *HHH* returns

You're misunderstanding the scenario?  If your simulated HHH aborts its
simulation [line 5 above],
then the outer level H would have aborted its identical simulation
earlier.  You know that, right?

Of course. I made it only to illustrate one step in the paradoxical
reasoning, as long as we're calling programs that do or don't abort
the same.

It is like I always pointed out. The outer HHH cannot
wait for the inner ones to abort because it would be
waiting forever.

Exactly. And when it aborts, it aborts too soon, one cycle before the simulated HHH would abort and halt.

 Mike corrected you on this. You are wrong.

For the record, I did no such thing and Fred is correct.
And stop misquoting me.  You lack the intelligence to understand what other posters are saying, so I suggest you simply stop trying to quote them, just to be safe.
Mike.
