Nothing says it has to be TM.

This does not work because all computable functions
that implement termination analyzers must compute
the mapping from their input finite string according
to the behavior that it specifies. In my concrete
examples DDD must be simulated by HHH according to the
rules of the x86 language.

The ultimate definition of a correct simulation
is a simulation according to the definition of
the simulation language.

And one is not free to halt the simulation and ignore the halting behaviour specified in the remainder of the input, because it is against the rules of the simulation language.

 Show me how DDD correctly simulated by HHH
reaches its own "ret" instruction.
What HHH should do, is what HHH1 does. But HHH cannot do that, because it has a bug that makes it to abort the simulation before it can see that the input specifies a halting program.
In fact, no HHH can simulate itself. Therefore the question to show a correct HHH is invalid. Is that too difficult to understand?
I cannot correct your HHH, because your HHH does what *you* coded. I cannot change *your* code. It is *your* task to remove errors in the code, not mine. I only tell you, that you spoil your time with it, because no such HHH exists.
HHH should be based on facts, not on dreams. If no such HHH exists, then dreaming about one does not help.

 You won't do this because you know that you
are a damned liar.
 
As usual, ad hominem attacks are use to hide the fact that there is no counter argument.
