A collection of Busy Beaver Champions including Champions for BB-Adjacent functions. Note that for all functions with the input format f(n,m), n denotes the number of states and m denotes the number of symbols of the relevant Busy Beaver domain. Note that for functions with this input format f(n) = f(n,2).
Note: highest ref name in use: 4
State-and-Symbol-Limited Busy Beaver functions
Busy Beaver functions where the programs size is limited by the amount of states and symbols.
