Note, you say "unless their simulation is aborted" but your defiition of
H DOES abort its simulation, thus this doesn't occur.

FAIL.

But since H ISN'T a UTM, you can't assume that it is.

FAIL.

What ACTUALLY Happens is

H^.q0 <H^> -> H <H^> <H^>
// Copies its input, State "H" is a state of H^

H <H^> <H^> will then state to simulate its input.
It will simulate H^.q0 <H^> -> H <H^> <H^>

The H that the first H^ went to then aborts its simulation and goes to H^.Qn

That H^ then Halts.

Thus the input is non-halting.

If that copy of H DOESN'T go to H/H^.qn, then NO copy of H will do so
and H never answers.

FAIL.

You can't presume something happening that doesn't actually happen.

You are just proving your ignorance of how logic works.

You have wasted the last 18 years of your life because of your
self-iposed ignorance and buried your reputation under the pile of
idiotic lies you have made.
