That is why I made the isomorphic x86utm system.
By failing to have such a concrete system all kinds
of false assumptions cannot be refuted.

The behavior of DDD emulated by HHH** <is> different
than the behavior of the directly executed DDD**
**according to the semantics of the x86 language

HHH is required to report on the behavior tat its finite
string input specifies even when this requires HHH
to emulate itself emulating DDD.

DDD never halts unless it reaches its own final
halt state. The fact that the executed HHH halts
has nothing to do with this.

HHH is not allowed to report on the computation that
itself is contained within.

Except for the case of pathological self-reference the
behavior of the directly executed machine M is always
the same as the correctly simulated finite string ⟨M⟩.

That no one has noticed that they can differ does not
create an axiom where they are not allowed to differ.

No one noticed that they differ only because everyone
rejected the idea of a simulating halt decider out-of-hand
without review.
