+The following is a low-level description of a Turing machine that will write
+the Fibonacci sequence (represented in binary, separated by $) without halting.
+
+A Turing machine is a 7-tuple T = (Q,Σ,Γ,δ,qI,qA,qR) where:
+- Q is the set of states; non-empty and finite
+- Σ is the input alphabet; non-empty and finite
+- Γ is the tape alphabet; non-empty and finite
+- δ is the transition function: δ(Q, Γ) -> (Q, Γ, {L, R})
+- qI ∈ Q is the initial state
+- qA ∈ Q is the accept state
+- qR ∈ Q is the reject state
+
+- Q: {
+  sa, sb, sc, sd,
+  aa, ab, ac,
+  aaa, aab, aac, aad, aae, aaf,
+  aba, abb, abc, abd, abe, abf, abg, abh,
+  ba, bb, bc,
+  baa, bab, bac, bad, bae, baf,
+  bba, bbb, bbc, bbd, bbe, bbf,
+  ca, cb, cc, cd, ce, cf, cg, ch, ci
+}
+- Σ: not relevant as we entirely disregard the input to begin with.
+- Γ: {_, $, X, 0, 1, 0*, 1*} (_ means the blank symbol)
+- δ: described below. a note on syntax:
+  - no entry in the output parameter means do not write a character to the tape.
+  - similarly, no entry in the position parameter means do not move the tape head.
+  - numerous "possible" transition functions are not stated. those are thought by the author to be inaccessible in normal operation of this machine (and if they are, it is probably a bug).
+- qI: the initial state is ca.
+- qA: the machine does not accept.
+- qR: the machine does not reject.
+
