The emulation stops, and the emulating behavor of HHH stops, but not the 
behavior of the input.

You don't seem to understand that fact, perhaps because you confuse 
Truth with Knowledge.

Emulation doesn't create or define the behavior of the input, that 
existed at the moment the program prepresented by the input was created.

Emulation REVEALS that behvior to the emulator. The only behavior it 
creates is that of the emulator, not the emulated.

You seem to not understand that property of programs, perhaps because 
you don't understand determinism, which requires a good understanding of 
what Truth is.
