Context
The cited weak location automaton carries history from the previous synchronization; prefix recursion needs the opposite temporal boundary.
Definitions
- At , reversal preserves the weak word relation because every block between joint events remains one-sided after reversal.
- A joint terminal event resets ; a solo terminal event adds its letter to the corresponding set and is forbidden if the other set already contains it.
Proof or evidence
Reversal converts each final event into the corresponding first event of reversed component words, so the three final-event clauses are exactly the published forward clauses in dual orientation.
Verification notes
The induced unary N/L/R receipt graph was generated independently and used by the exact quotient and determinization checks.
Limitations
- This is an FPRD definition, not a construction attributed to the source authors.
- The public theorem application is currently restricted to unary cyclic starred components.
