   That is correct, but what you cannot say is that specific stateful   
   procedures in that leaky simulation correspond to pure recursive   
   functions in the theory of computation. (And, therefore, to   
   individual Turing Machines.)   
      
   You can build a model of your leaky sandbox in whch you identify   
   what the Turing Machines or functions are.   
      
   (Once you do that, it would probably make sense for your claims about   
   halting to revolve around that.)

   Olcott's leaky Halt7.obj/x86utm_exe sandbox /cannot/ be   
   characterized in such a way we refer to the stateful C procedure   
   HHH as a recursive primitive function.
