   H simulates D   
   that calls H(D) to simulate D   
   that calls H(D) to simulate D   
   that calls H(D) to simulate D   
   that calls H(D) to simulate D   
   that calls H(D) to simulate D   
   until H sees this repeating pattern.   
      
   When simulating halt decider H is reporting on the   
   behavior that its input specifies then H is correct   
   to reject D as non-halting.   
      
   Deciders only compute a mapping from their actual   
   inputs. Computing the mapping from non-inputs is   
   outside of the scope of Turing machines.
