   You gave it contradictory information. You told it that it simulates   
   until it detects non-halting behaviour. You also told it that it aborts   
   and returns 0. HHH cannot at the same time return 0 and show   
   non-termination behaviour when simulated.   
      
   With invalid and contradictory starting points, any conclusion becomes   
   useless.
