Work Step by Step

Here's a high-level description of a Turing machine that rotates the pattern one cell to the left: 1. **Initialize**: Move the tape head to the right until it reaches the first 1 after the right asterisk (end marker). 2. **Rotate**: Replace the current cell's 1 with 0, move left until you find the next 0, replace it with 1, then move right to the end marker. 3. **Repeat**: Continue this process until the end marker is reached, indicating the rotation is complete. This algorithm ensures the pattern is rotated one cell to the left.
