What you call "verified facts" are generally nothing of the kind. They
are merely things, often false, you would like to be true.

You will have a get out clause from the vagueness of your language, which

Not at all. HHH does emulate the x86 machine code
of DDD pointed to by P. That is does this according
to the semantics of the x86 language conclusively
proves that this emulation is correct.

That's nauseatingly overstretching things into another lie.  Whatever HHH
might do is far short of sufficient "conclusively to prove" that the
emulation is correct.  To prove that is likely impossible in principle,
that's even assuming you could define "correct" coherently.

 Which isn't a program, you need to include the code for HHH.
 

*Yet again your attention deficit disorder*
I have told you countless times that all of
the machine code for every function is in
the same global memory space of halt7.obj.
I have also told you countless times that HHH
does simulate itself simulating DDD and I
have proven this by this execution trace.
https://liarparadox.org/HHH(DDD)_Full_Trace.pdf
That you don't know how to read an execution
trace does not mean that I have not proven this.
