(a) If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its input D until H
correctly determines that its simulated D could not possibly reach its
own "return" statement in a finite number of simulated steps then:

(b) H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.

When it is understood that (b) is a necessary consequence of (a) and we
can see that (a) has been met then we understand that H(D,D) has
correctly determined the halt state of its input.

001 int D(int (*x)())
002 {
003   int Halt_Status = H(x, x);
004   if (Halt_Status)
005     HERE: goto HERE;
006   return Halt_Status;
007 }
008
009 int main()
010 {
011   Output("Input_Halts = ", H(D,D));
012   Output("Input_Halts = ", D(D));
013 }

*Simulating halt deciders applied to the halting theorem*
The above is fully operational code in the x86utm operating system.

Because H correctly detects that D correctly simulated by H would
continue to call H(D,D) never reaching its own "return" statement H
aborts it simulation of D and returns 0 to main() on line 011.

Because H correctly detects that D correctly simulated by H would
continue to call H(D,D) never reaching its own "return" statement H
aborts it simulation of D and returns 0 to the executed D on line 003.

straw man
An intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is
easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.

Every recent rebuttal uses the strawman deception to change the subject
away from: { D correctly simulated by H } or denies that (b) is a
necessary consequence of (a).
