   (a) Termination Analyzers / Partial Halt Deciders must halt   
   this is a design requirement.   
      
   (b) Every simulating termination analyzer HHH either   
   aborts the simulation of its input or not.   
      
   (c) Within the hypothetical case where HHH does not abort   
   the simulation of its input {HHH, emulated DDD and executed DDD}   
   never stop running.   
      
   This violates the design requirement of (a) therefore HHH must   
   abort the simulation of its input.
