(12) NonLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By Theorem 8 [NONLOOP] we deduce infiniteness of the QDP.
We apply the theorem with m = 1, b = 0,
σ' = [ ], and μ' = [x0 / s(x0)] on the rule
FROM(s(x0))[ ]n[ ] → FROM(s(x0))[ ]n[x0 / s(x0)]
This rule is correct for the QDP as the following derivation shows:

intermediate steps: Equivalent (Simplify mu) - Instantiate mu - Instantiation
FROM(X)[ ]n[ ] → FROM(s(X))[ ]n[ ]
    by OriginalRule from TRS P

(13) NO
