<Sipser approved abstract>
MIT Professor Michael Sipser has agreed that the following verbatim 
paragraph is correct (he has not agreed to anything else in this paper):

If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its input D until H 
correctly determines that its simulated D would never stop running 
unless aborted then H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report 
that D specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
</Sipser approved abstract>

to this paper:

*Rebutting the Sipser Halting Problem Proof*
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/364302709_Rebutting_the_Sipser_Halting_Problem_Proof

The proof that the simulation of D by H is correct and that this 
correctly simulated D would never stop running unless aborted is on page 
3 of the above paper. People that fail to comprehend the technical 
details of page 3 are unqualified to assess the correctness of page 3.

The technical prerequisites for page 3 are expert knowledge of the C 
programming language, knowledge of x86 assembly language and how the C 
calling conventions are implemented in x86 assembly language.

Page 4 shows the application of a simulating halt decider to the Peter 
Linz proof proving that the "impossible" input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to the embedded 
copy of Linz H contained within Linz Ĥ is correctly construed as 
specifying non-halting sequence of configurations.
