Can you? It's been a long time since I studied Turing machines, but if a machine returns to an exact previous full state (of both the machine and the tape), then we know it will not terminate but loop forever; and a machine with a finite tape must return to a previous state in finite time if it doesn't terminate first. So a finite state machine will either terminate or begin to loop in finite time. |
