(12) NonLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By Theorem 8 [NONLOOP] we deduce infiniteness of the QDP.
We apply the theorem with m = 1, b = 1,
σ' = [ ], and μ' = [ ] on the rule
F(true, cons(a, zr1))[zr1 / cons(a, zr1)]n[zr1 / nil] → F(true, cons(a, cons(a, zr1)))[zr1 / cons(a, zr1)]n[zr1 / nil]
This rule is correct for the QDP as the following derivation shows:
