HHH isn't a UTM, so irrelevantOnly if you toss out the notion of a UTM as BOGUS.Specifies exactly what DD correctly emulated by HHH means.

It also specifies what DD directly executed means, and that's the
behavior we're interested in.
HHH is isomorphic to a UTM and my same reasoning applies to the Linz
proof where H really is a UTM.
UTMs don't abort.
Simulators and emulators also don't abort, yet simulating
/ emulating termination analyzers can be based on them.
Does THE INPUT TO HHH specify a C function that halts?

The kind of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak prevents a
True(X) predicate that could otherwise eviscerate Nazi lies the
moment that are spoken.
We can define a correct True(X) predicate that always succeeds except
for unknowns and untruths, Tarski WAS WRONG !!!
He said that this is impossible and no
counter-examples exists that shows that I am wrong.
Whether you are wrong is not something anyone (other than you)
should
care. It is sufficient to know that you can't be trusted.

I hate to take issue with you because you are so clearly on the
side of truth, justice and the Turing way, but I can't let the
above go unchallenged.
C is Turing-complete. Anything a Turing machine program can do
can therefore be expressed in C, and it is perfectly reasonable
to talk about the behaviour of C functions:
void ihalt(void)
{
return;
}
void idont(void)
{
for(;;);
return;
}
The behaviour of this code could in principle be understood by
a program that reads the source code and works out what it's
supposed to be doing. (We call such programs 'compilers'.)
Compilers are not deciders, of course, but it would not be
beyond the wit of some compilers to report "ihalt function
returns without doing anything" or "idont function has
unreachable code 'return'", and it would certainly be possible
in C to write a decider for C code. It could not be 100%
accurate because Turing, but a lower target could certainly be
met.
Right, but even the C language says that a system needs to at
least issue a diagnostic, and establishes NO definition of
behavior, if the C function D calls another C function H, but no
definition of H has been provided.
Olcott's problem is that he wants to provide it as a "variable"
to D, without admitting that he is doing that, and thus H is
actually part of the "input" to the function. This makes is D not
actually a correct program even by the definition of the C language.

A True(X) predicate is important to prevent Nazis from

The truth predicate as discussed Tarski cannot be espressed as a
definition
and therefore cannot be computed. If you allow unexpressible or
uncomputable
predicates there may be more possibilities.
When I say "expressed using language" I am referring
to elements of the set of empirical knowledge such
as the actual smell of a rose.
"expressed using language" ends the long standing
debate over whether or not analytical truth exists.
Tarski proved that no expressible predicate is the truth predicate.
That is stupid and denies this:
Boolean True("cats are animals") where every unique sense
meaning of the language has its own GUID.
When True(X) only returns TRUE for contiguous sequences
of truth preserving operations on the basis of basic
facts expressed in formalized natural language then
True(X) consistently works correctly for the entire
set of general human knowledge that can be expressed
using language.

There is no expressible or computable predicate that tells wheter
a sentence of the first order group theory is a theory is a theorem
of the theory.
If that is true then its design violates my design principles.
A finite set of axioms and the application of ONLY truth preserving operations to elements of this set of axioms. (A & ~A) ⊨ FALSE
