   *Its behavior is completely defined by*   
   (a) The finite string x86 machine code that includes   
        the recursive emulation call from DDD to HHH(DDD).   
      
   (b) The semantics of the x86 language.   
      
   (c) That HHH is an x86 emulator that correctly emulates   
        N steps of DDD.   
      
   *I am not infallible so I may have left out a detail*   
      
   *These facts are deduced from the above facts*   
   (1) The call from DDD to HHH(DDD) when N steps of DDD are   
       correctly emulated by any pure function x86 emulator   
       HHH cannot possibly return.   
      
   (2) (1) means that DDD correctly simulated by HHH would   
        never stop running unless aborted.   
      
   I don't understand why you risk your salvation   
   by trying to get away with such a bald-faced lie.   
      
   Those the believe salvation cannot be lost may   
   correct in the God sees their future behavior thus   
   never granting them salvation in the first place.
