   That DD simulated by HHH never stops running   
   unless aborted by HHH proves that the input   
   to HHH(DD) specifies non halting behavior.   
      
   The caller of a function is never an argument to   
   this same function. The DD executed in main that   
   calls HHH(DD) is not the same DD as the one that   
   HHH simulates.

   My 28 year goal has been to make   
   "true on the basis of meaning" computable.   
      
   This required establishing a new foundation   
   for correct reasoning.
