Except your decider can only handle trivial uninteresting cases: if you
wish to make progress on this then prove your decider works with a
non-trivial case which includes branching logic predicated on arbitrary
program input that is unknown a priori to the simulation starting; but
before you even do that prove your decider works with a non-trivial
case with branching logic predicated on arbitrary program input that
*is* known a priori.

I also note that you repeatedly refuse to address my point regarding how
x86 mov instructions can read/write from/to memory mapped I/O
rather than RAM so the result of the mov instruction cannot be known a
priori. The halting program concerns computing devices and a computing
device which cannot do I/O is next to useless, much like your decider
(until you actually prove otherwise which I have a feeling is never
going to happen as you appear to be stuck in a loop).
