   DDD correctly emulated by HHH is correct

   We stipulate that the only measure of a correct emulation is the   
   semantics of the x86 programming language.   
      
   _DDD()   
   [00002163] 55         push ebp      ; housekeeping   
   [00002164] 8bec       mov ebp,esp   ; housekeeping   
   [00002166] 6863210000 push 00002163 ; push DDD   
   [0000216b] e853f4ffff call 000015c3 ; call HHH(DDD)   
   [00002170] 83c404     add esp,+04   
   [00002173] 5d         pop ebp   
   [00002174] c3         ret   
   Size in bytes:(0018) [00002174]   
      
   When N steps of DDD are emulated by HHH according to the   
   semantics of the x86 language then N steps are emulated correctly.   
      
   When we examine the infinite set of every HHH/DDD pair such that:   
   HHH₁ one step of DDD is correctly emulated by HHH.   
   HHH₂ two steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.   
   HHH₃ three steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.   
   ...   
   HHH∞ The emulation of DDD by HHH never stops running.   
      
   The above specifies the infinite set of every HHH/DDD pair   
   where 1 to infinity steps of DDD are correctly emulated by HHH.   
      
   No DDD instance of each HHH/DDD pair ever reaches past its   
   own machine address of 0000216b and halts.   
      
   Thus each HHH element of the above infinite set of HHH/DDD   
   pairs is necessarily correct to reject its DDD as non-halting.
