   Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.∞   
   Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qn   
   (a) Ĥ copies its input ⟨Ĥ⟩   
   (b) Ĥ invokes embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩   
   (c) embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩   
      
   Thus unless you want to be disagreeable at all   
   possible costs you would agree that ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩   
   simulated by embedded_H cannot possibly reach   
   its own simulated final state of ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩ no   
   matter what.
