ChatGPT 5.0 and Gemini had to be specifically told
to think it all the way through without guessing.

ChatGPT 4.0, Claude AI, and Grok did not have to be
told not to guess. They figured out the
*recursive simulation non-halting behavior pattern*
and that HHH(DD)==0 is correct all on their own without
prompting.

<Rubric>
Rules of Simulation:
- (a) If a non-terminating behavior pattern is detected during
simulation, abort immediately and return 0.
- (b) If the simulated program reaches a return statement without
earlier detection, return 1.
- Priority: (a) always takes precedence over (b).

Procedure:
1. Restate rules before simulation.
2. Simulate step by step using a trace table with columns:
| Step | Code Location | State (variables, call stack) | Event /
Action | Rule Applied |
3. Stop immediately if recursion, infinite loop, or repeating state
occurs → apply (a).
4. If a return is reached first → apply (b).
5. Conclude with:
- Which rule fired first
- The correct return value
6. Optionally, provide:
- (i) Simulation result under rules
- (ii) Actual runtime behavior in C

<Test Program>
typedef int (*ptr)();
int HHH(ptr P);

int DD()
{
int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
if (Halt_Status)
HERE: goto HERE;
return Halt_Status;
}
</Test Program>

<Required Output Format>
1. Restatement of rules
2. Step-by-step execution trace in a table
3. Identification of first rule triggered
4. Final result: return value of HHH(program)
5. Optional: actual C runtime behavior if relevant
</Required Output Format>
