Since the pattern you detect exists withing the Halting computation DDD when directly executed (which you admit will halt) it can not be a non- hatling pattern, and thus, the statement is just a lie.

It would not be correct for HHH(DDD) to report on the behavior of the directly executed DDD(), because that behavior is altered by HHH's own intervention. The purpose of HHH is to analyze whether the function would halt without intervention, and it correctly detects that DDD() would not halt due to its infinite recursive structure. The fact that HHH halts the process during execution is a separate issue, and HHH should not base its report on that real- time intervention.

Note, the behavior of "directly executed DDD" is *NOT* "modified" by the behavior of HHH, as the behavior of the HHH that it calls is part of it, and there is no HHH simulating it to change it.

The directly executed DDD() is merely the first step of
otherwise infinitely recursive emulation that is terminated

 Aren't computable functions supposed to compute the mapping from their inputs? Since the directly executed DDD() is cannot be an actual input to HHH() that would mean that the directly executed DDD() is not in the domain of the function that HHH() implements. Since it is not in this domain then it forms no actual contradiction.
