How do computations actually work?

 Each computation works differently. It does not matter how it works as
long as there are instructions that fully specify how that computation
shall be performed.
 

All termination analyzers are required to report on the
behavior that their input finite string specifies.
int main()
{
   DD(); // the HHH that DD calls cannot report on the
}       // behavior of its caller. That is just not
         // the way that these things work.
int sum(int x int y) { return x + y; }
computes the sum of its inputs according to the rules of arithmetic.
Does not compute any function
int sum(int x int y) { return 5; }
Does not compute the function of sum correctly.
int sum(int x int y) { x + x; }
