Alphabet: fapp : [o * o] --> o lam : [o -> o] --> o Rules: fapp(lam(f), x) => f x This AFS is converted to an AFSM simply by replacing all free variables by meta-variables (with arity 0). This system is non-terminating, as demonstrated by the following reduction: fapp(lam(/\x.fapp(x, x)), lam(/\y.fapp(y, y))) => (/\x.fapp(x, x)) lam(/\y.fapp(y, y)) =>_beta fapp(lam(/\x.fapp(x, x)), lam(/\y.fapp(y, y))) That is, a term reduces to itself.
