Writes the maximum 1s then halts (Σ=6). A finite state machine plus an infinite tape — the abstract computer that defines what is computable at all.

Reading this result: This 3-state busy beaver writes the maximum possible six 1s onto a blank tape before halting — the champion for its size, and a vivid reminder that even tiny machines can be hard to predict.
