Bell eats counter is an informal class of Turing machines. A typical Turing machine in this class has the following behavior:

  • It has both a bell and a counter on the tape.
  • Increment: when the bouncer in the bell finishes a period, the counter is increased by one.
  • Overflow: when the bouncer in the bell overflows, the bell eats the lowest digit of the counter (the counter is halved), and the bouncer in the bell is reset.

A Rocq proof of a kind of typical behavior doesn't halt.
