False assumption.
A halt decider must compute the mapping that its input
finite string specifies.

It is ridiculously stupid to assume that the fact
that DDD calls its own emulator does not change
its behavior relative to not calling its own emulator.

Why do you have a religious conviction to this stupid
mistake?
