The Runtime Complexity (innermost) of the given CpxTRS could be proven to be BOUNDS(O(1), O(n^2)).

Runtime Complexity TRS:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

from(X) → cons(X, n__from(s(X)))
first(0, Z) → nil
first(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) → cons(Y, n__first(X, activate(Z)))
sel(0, cons(X, Z)) → X
sel(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) → sel(X, activate(Z))
from(X) → n__from(X)
first(X1, X2) → n__first(X1, X2)
activate(n__from(X)) → from(X)
activate(n__first(X1, X2)) → first(X1, X2)
activate(X) → X

Found a reduction pair which oriented the following tuples strictly. Hence they can be removed from S.

SEL(s(z0), cons(z1, z2)) → c6(SEL(z0, activate(z2)), ACTIVATE(z2))

We considered the (Usable) Rules:

activate(n__from(z0)) → from(z0)
activate(n__first(z0, z1)) → first(z0, z1)
activate(z0) → z0
first(0, z0) → nil

first(z0, z1) → n__first(z0, z1)
from(z0) → cons(z0, n__from(s(z0)))
from(z0) → n__from(z0)

And the Tuples:

FIRST(s(z0), cons(z1, z2)) → c3(ACTIVATE(z2))
SEL(s(z0), cons(z1, z2)) → c6(SEL(z0, activate(z2)), ACTIVATE(z2))
ACTIVATE(n__first(z0, z1)) → c8(FIRST(z0, z1))

The order we found is given by the following interpretation:
