A halt decider is a Turing machine that computes the mapping from
its finite string input to the behavior that this finite string
specifies.
If the finite string machine string machine description specifies
that it cannot possibly reach its own final halt state then this
machine description specifies non-halting behavior.

Which DDD does not.

DDD emulated by HHH cannot possibly reach its final halt state no matter
what HHH does.

But DDD halts, so it „specifies halting behaviour”.
HHH can’t simulate itself.

HHH *tries* to simulate itself, but it fails to reach the end of its simulation of the halting program.

 The source code proves otherwise that you are not bright
enough to understand this code is no rebuttal at all.

No, the source code shows that HHH is NOT a "pure function" and thus not eligible to be a decider OR a pure emulator.
Also, your runs of HHH PROVE that it doesn't reach the end of its simulation of DDD, which has been proven to be a HALTING program.
The full trace of which can be seen in your 200 page trace, when you make the small change on the first 4 lines of the trace, of just the address being emulated (which hold the exact same instructions).
Sorry, you are just proving your absolute stupidity.

 

This is a failure of the simulator, which Olcott uses to claim that the input has changed its behaviour. But it is clear that the behaviour of the program described by the finite string is completely fixed by the semantics of the x86 language and does not change by incorrect simulations.
