There is no way that DDD simulated by HHH (according
to the semantics of the C programming language)
can possibly reach its own "return" statement final
halt state.

I don't say that the decider needs to simulate the input to completion, but that it needs to be able to actually PROVE that if this exact input WAS given to a correct simultor (which won't be itself, since it isn't doing the complete simulation) will run for an unbounded number of steps.

And HHH does not do that. The input specifies a halting program, because it includes the abort code. But HHH gives up before it reaches that part of the specification and the final halt state.

 I have corrected you on this too many times.
You have sufficiently proven that you are dishonest
or incompetent.
 *This code proves that you are wrong*
https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm/blob/master/Halt7.c
That you are too F-ing stupid to see this is less
than no rebuttal at all.
 

No, that code proves that HHH, as defined, always aborts its simulation of DDD and returns 0, and thus DDD always represents a halting program and thus HHH is always wrong,
And, that you are so stupid you can't see that.
