Context
The audit independently keeps synchronized macro-events, original-alphabet paths, natural prefixes, and minimal quotients distinct.
Proof or evidence
Language equivalence, strong-power independence, quotient reversibility, and minimality all agree with the exact formulas.
Verification notes
488,281 word checks, 781 accepted words, ten code-pair controls, 35 natural-prefix transitions, ten quotient transitions, and 15 state-pair distinguishers; zero failures.
Limitations
- Finite testing does not establish novelty or replace the all-length derivations.
- Earlier 66/81 carrier and 87/191 carrier-controller counts are withdrawn from this claim because the precise source model and verifier were not recovered.
