The above refers to determining that *its input D* "specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations" When people change this to a *non-input D* they are trying to get away with deception. The pathological relationship where DDD calls its own emulator DOES CHANGE THE BEHAVIOR OF DDD. Simply ignoring that this pathological relationship DOES CHANGE THE BEHAVIOR OF DDD is ridiculously stupid. -- Copyright 2024 Olcott "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."
