    It is a fact that the behavior of D(D) after it aborts
    its simulation cannot be used as abort status criteria or
    no H(D,D) would ever abort its simulation.


    *MIT Professor Michael Sipser agreed this verbatim paragraph is correct*
    (He has neither reviewed nor agreed to anything else in this paper)
    (a) If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D would never stop running
    unless aborted then
    (b) H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
    specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
