Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

zeroscons(0, n__zeros)
U11(tt, L) → U12(tt, activate(L))
U12(tt, L) → s(length(activate(L)))
length(nil) → 0
length(cons(N, L)) → U11(tt, activate(L))
zerosn__zeros
activate(n__zeros) → zeros
activate(X) → X

Q is empty.

(1) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(0) = 0   
POL(U11(x1, x2)) = x1 + 2·x2   
POL(U12(x1, x2)) = 2·x1 + 2·x2   
POL(activate(x1)) = x1   
POL(cons(x1, x2)) = 2·x1 + 2·x2   
POL(length(x1)) = 2·x1   
POL(n__zeros) = 0   
POL(nil) = 1   
POL(s(x1)) = x1   
POL(tt) = 0   
POL(zeros) = 0   
With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

length(nil) → 0

(7) 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 / 0] on the rule
LENGTH(cons(0, n__zeros))[ ]n[ ] → LENGTH(cons(0, n__zeros))[ ]n[x0 / 0]
This rule is correct for the QDP as the following derivation shows:

intermediate steps: Equivalent (Simplify mu) - Instantiate mu
LENGTH(cons(x0, n__zeros))[ ]n[ ] → LENGTH(cons(0, n__zeros))[ ]n[ ]
    by Rewrite t
        LENGTH(cons(x0, n__zeros))[ ]n[ ] → LENGTH(activate(activate(zeros)))[ ]n[ ]
            by Narrowing at position: [0,0,0]
                intermediate steps: Instantiation
                LENGTH(cons(x0, x1))[ ]n[ ] → LENGTH(activate(activate(activate(x1))))[ ]n[ ]
                    by Narrowing at position: []
                        intermediate steps: Instantiation
                        LENGTH(cons(N, L))[ ]n[ ] → U111(tt, activate(L))[ ]n[ ]
                            by OriginalRule from TRS P

                        intermediate steps: Instantiation - Instantiation
                        U111(tt, x0)[ ]n[ ] → LENGTH(activate(activate(x0)))[ ]n[ ]
