Yes.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a#(b(b(a(x1)))) a#(b(b(x1))) (3)
a#(b(b(a(x1)))) a#(b(a(b(b(x1))))) (4)
a#(b(b(a(x1)))) a#(a(b(a(b(b(x1)))))) (5)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
