Busy beaver work: an 8-state machine running the BB(7) champion's program with 36 digits (sigma = 12*(2^^37 3)+59, machine-checked in busycoq), analysis in Ligocki's notation

About the project

A collection of busy beaver results with machine-checked Coq proofs: record-holding BB(8), BB(10), BB(12) machines and a 335-state machine that halts iff ZFC is inconsistent.

Useful for
  • Verify the Coq proof of halting and exact score for the BB(10) machine
  • Run the independent simulator to re-check the BB(10) analysis rules
  • Study how the 335-state machine relates to ZFC consistency

1.5 Quiet Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 13, 2026, 17:53 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

025October 4, 2026October 13, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-13 (UTC), 15:55–17:48: 2 → 3 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 9 days old and already has 3 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Hacker News: “BB(10) > Graham's Number” — 57 points, 5 h ago.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
