    Nothing past the marked point happens.

    H is not in the repository it is a new hypothetical basis for my next
    paper.

    You haven’t mentioned how H differs from HHH.

    H is starting from scratch discarding all the preconceptions
    and is understood to be a C level analysis that disregards
    any and all of the x86 level analysis. That is the only difference.

    I did this because the x86 level proved to be too difficult
    for my reviewers and the C level proved to be an equally
    unequivocal specification.

    This is the new specification that replaces the prior
    specifcation that proved to be too terse.

    int D()
    {
    int Halt_Status = H(D);
    if (Halt_Status)
    HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
    }

    The function H is a simulating termination analyzer:
    (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern: abort simulation and
    return 0.
    (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement: return 1.

    When given a function P, it literally simulates each step of executing
    P() to see whether that simulated execution ever reaches a return
    statement. Now let H simulate D. Based only on the outcome of that
    literal simulation (not on reasoning about what should happen), what
    result should H(D) produce?

    It doesn't matter what result H(D) produces as D will do the opposite thus
    H is wrong.

    Nothing above tells what you claim to be proven true.
