Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by NaTT @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
b#(b(a(b(b(b(x1)))))) b#(b(b(b(a(x1))))) (2)
b#(b(a(b(b(b(x1)))))) b#(a(x1)) (3)
b#(b(a(b(b(b(x1)))))) b#(b(b(a(x1)))) (4)
b#(b(a(b(b(b(x1)))))) b#(b(b(b(b(a(x1)))))) (5)
b#(b(a(b(b(b(x1)))))) b#(b(a(x1))) (6)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
