   I will also add, that since you have dropped your requirements on HHH   
   (or are seeming to try to divorse yourself from previous assumptions)   
   there are MANY HHH that can complete the emulation, they just fail to be   
   "pure functions".   
      
   And once you define HHH to need to be a "pure function", you hit the   
   impass that your are trying to define DDD by a DIFFERENT definition of a   
   "Program" which is what emulation is normally defined to be on, as your   
   DDD is missing code that is needed to actually make it a program.   
      
   All this adds up to showing that you don't really understand the basics   
   of the field you are talking about, as you keep on making "rookie" errors.
