That is incorrect.
If it cannot possibly see the repeating state of its

see that it is non-halting even if -n.embedded_H cannot.
If -n.embedded_H cannot see what we see then H can't either.
This means, assuming that what we can see acturally is there,
that H is not a halt decder, Q.E.D.
H is not the issue it does not have a pathological
relationship to its input.
However, there are possible inputs that heither halt nor repeat
any configuration.

No, it is an inevitable conseqence of how Linz constructed -n.
You can't prove otherwise.

When DD is correctly simulated by HHH and HHH
simulates an instance of itself simulating DD
this and all other simulated HHH instances cannot
possibly return because they remain stuck in
recursive simulation.

Olcott never posts anything that could be reasonably called a "rebuttal".
His usual style is to talk about something else and to pretend that it
