    int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);

   *No it is not the same. Here is how it varies*   
      
   HHH simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)   
   that simulates DD that calls HHH(DD)...   
      
   HHH1 simulates DD that calls HHH(DD) that   
   returns to DD that returns to HHH1.   
      
   The behavior of DD simulated by HHH1 is the   
   same as the behavior of DD() executed from main.   
      
   The sound basis of this reasoning is the   
   semantics of the C programming language.

   My 28 year goal has been to make   
   "true on the basis of meaning" computable.
