No, it does not. The input is DD specifides exactly the same sequence
of steps as DD. HHH just answers about a different sequence of steps
instead of the the seqeunce specified by its input.

H should simulate its actual input D that calls the aborting H, not a

refers to the same HHH that DD calls yet
this hypothetical HHH does not abort.

You cannot possibly show the exact execution trace where DD is correctly
emulated by HHH and this emulated DD reaches past its own machine
address [0000213c].

 HHH(DD) does return.

And thus so does the HHH(DD) that DD calls.

     If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its

 HHH only need simulate DD until it correctly determines
*simulated D would never stop running unless aborted*
This refers to a hypothetical HHH/DD pair where HHH never aborts.
 

Right, that a correct simulation of D would never stop running,
That includes using the fact that H does what it does, and the input is what it is.
And thus NOT the hypothetical HHH/DD pair, but the hypothetical HHH looking at the actual DD which still calls the origianl HHH
You just don't understand what (correct) simulation means in the field, or what a program actually is.
And, your whole system has an improper intertwining of the TWO programs that are mentioned (H and D).
Please point out anywhere in the proof where he implies that H or D are NOT actual complete programs, it is sort of a requirement as Turing Machies always are complete, that is part of their beauty, you can't make a non-computation/program Turing Machine.
Sorry, you really are showing that you are THAT Stupid.
