... and, note, NOT of the C-compiled-to-x86 language which, after years
of Olcott's insistence that everyone painstakingly analyze his x86
traces (or else accept that they have no argument) all of a sudden, it
is the case now that "essentially nobody" understands x86, presumably
including Olcott himself.

This is because in the C-to-x86 project, it was shown that
DD simulated by HHH and decided as 0, but left behind a continuable
simulation that can be stepped further toward halting.

Well, that /cannot/ be right! So let's dodge it by declaring that
there is something wrong, and nobody understands why due to x86
being hard, and disavow the whole thng ... now it's all about the
(higher level, not compiled) semantics of the C programming language.

Conveniently, no Olcott project for simulating wth pure C semantics
exists that anyone can download and work with; it's just handwavy talk.

However, I showed a detailed manual trace of a simple test case showing
that when a H decides to abort an interpretation of D after three steps
and return 0, that interpretation can be resumed and shown to terminate;
I showed the detailed traces of D traced by H (down to a second
simulation level starting up), as well as the completion of the
abandoned simulation that can easily be carried out by the framework.

That foreshadows exactly what will happen in the unlikely event
Olcott gets his ducks lined up and actually cobs together a C
interpretation project capable of hosting a simulation tower.

If he publishes the code, someone will come along and implement
the continuaton of abandoned simulatons.
