It's interesting how some of them halt after a while and some of them don't. I wonder if one could figure out which ones do and which ones don't?

None of them halt, since no halting state is ever introduced into these canvas dwelling TMs :-(

I think GP is actually asking whether we can determine if one enters a steady state, i.e. tape no longer changes.

It was a (not particularly funny) joke.

I thought it was great :)

It was fine. The combination of difficulty detecting humor or sarcasm, a need to geek-preen, and limited filter can sometimes result in unfriendly or unwelcoming comments.

These are FSMs though, as the tape is finite.
