    If it correctly simulates infinitely many steps, it doesn't terminate.
    Look up "infinite".

    But your task is to decide for /any/ program, not just DDD. That, as
    you are so fond of saying, is 'stipulated', and you can't get out of
    it. The whole point of the Entscheidungsproblem is its universality.
    Ignore that, and you have nothing.



    Given that his code has HHH(DD) returning 0,

    THESE ARE THE WORDS ANYONE THAT DODGES THESE
    WORDS WILL BE TAKEN FOR A LIAR

    void DDD()
    {
    HHH(DDD);
    return;
    }

    DDD correctly simulated by HHH never reaches its
    own "return" instruction and terminates normally
    in any finite or infinite number of correctly
    simulated steps.
