   A proof is ultimately any conclusion derived by   
   applying correct semantic entailment to a   
   self-evidently true basis.   
      
   The semantics of C and the above function are the   
   self-evidently true basis.   
      
   The sequence of steps of DD simulated by HHH according   
   the the semantics of C is the semantic entailment.   
      
   This derives the necessary consequence that DD   
   simulated by HHH would never stop running unless   
   aborted.
