1. Up to that abort point, UTM(DDD) and HHH(DDD) conduct an
absolutely identical simulation. The only difference is
that the simulation continues under UTM, and is abandoned
under HHH.

2. This is not a difference attributable to DDD.  DDD is the same in
both cases. Not continuing the simulation fo DDD doesn't redefine what
DDD is. It is not possible to redefine what DDD is; it is the
agreed-upon procedure above.
