Skelet machine #1 is infinite Updated +Created
Non formal proof with a program March 2023: www.sligocki.com/2023/03/13/skelet-1-infinite.html Awesome article that describes the proof procedure.
The proof uses Turing machine acceleration to show that Skelet machine #1 is a Translated cycler Turing machine with humongous cycle paramters:
  • start between 50-200 M steps, not calculated precisely on the original post
  • period: ~8 billion steps
