It doesn't matter. There is no consequential difference here between simulating the code in an emulator or running it directly, except perhaps by making it less obvious what's going to happen so you can fool yourself for longer.

Are you trying to trick me into doing your homework?
E: oh I see now, it's worse than that. You already wrote papers about this.. Apparently you're some sort of crank scientist then. You cannot disprove the undecidability of the halting problem, especially not with simple things like "just emulate the code LMAO". The interesting part about the famous undecidability proof is that it doesn't matter how H works, if you take that away you just get something that doesn't work for mundane reasons.

Any competent civil engineer can design a bridge that doesn't fall down. Yet they do.
You said in the OP
"Will D ever reach its own.."
Ever means just that. In no situation in no time period.
Any competent engineer (of any discipline) understands that there is a big difference between one single case and all cases for all time.
The problem that you are looking at has been proven to be impossible.
Any compentent engineer then understands that they must then do the following to achieve what you want.
1. Invalidate the original proof
2. Provide a new proof that it can fail. This by itself might provide the first.
That is mathematics and not software.

Who's 'he', the current editor? Look, if your stated aim to publish there (CAMC), then concentrate your efforts there. It doesn't seem as though 'here' is getting you anywhere.

For some reason I doubt that.
What would happen if everyone here agreed with your conclusion?

Probably not going to happen here, so just cut to the chase. Change the title and submit, possibly adding that professors name somehow in the title.

I claimed nothing about your conclusions one way or another.

You can't force people to care, that's the truth.
