We consider the system 462. Alphabet: a : [] --> o b : [] --> o f : [o * o] --> o mu : [o -> o] --> o s : [o] --> o Rules: f(X, X) => a f(X, s(X)) => b mu(/\x.X(x)) => X(mu(/\y.X(y))) It is easy to see that this system is non-terminating: mu(/\x.g x) => g mu(/\x.g x) |> mu(/\y.g y) That is, a term s reduces to a term t which has a subterm that is an instance of the original term.
