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 Narrowing at position: [0]
        LENGTH(cons(x0, n__zeros))[ ]ⁿ[ ] → LENGTH(zeros)[ ]ⁿ[ ]
            by Narrowing at position: [0]
