Busy Beaver Anonymous 08/19/2023 (Sat) 21:41:11 No. 197
The Busy Beaver function is a function that takes n as a number of states and returns the maximum finite number of ones that a 2-symbol turing machine with that number of states could produce. This pdf (https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/bb.pdf) is the current (as of 2020) state of knowledge on this function. update from 2022: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=6673

Minor correction: the busy beaver actually takes 2 numbers in the form BB(n,m), with n being the number of states and m being the number of symbols. Of course, BB(n,2) is the best studied of these.
