[Olcott 2021 generic halt deciding principle]
Whenever the pure simulation of the input to simulating halt decider
H(x,y) never stops running unless H aborts its simulation H correctly
aborts this simulation and returns 0 for not halting.

Halting problem
In computability theory, the halting problem is the problem of
determining, from a description of an arbitrary computer program and an
input, whether the program will finish running, or continue to run
forever. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem

Now we construct a new Turing machine D with H as a subroutine.
This new TM calls H to determine what M does when the input to M
is its own description ⟨M⟩. Once D has determined this information,
it does the opposite. (Sipser:1997:165)

// Simplified Linz(1990) Ĥ
// and Strachey(1965) P
void P(ptr x)
{
if (H(x, x))
HERE: goto HERE;
}

The pathological feedback loop between the halt decider and its input
that otherwise makes inputs like the above impossible for H(P,P) to
decide has been eliminated.
