Theorem · arbitrary-arity quotient transfer

FPRD-SH-T11

Boolean products preserve componentwise left quotients

Exact statement

Let ∥ψ\Vert_\psi be an arbitrary-arity memoryless Boolean product of NFAs, and let EiE_i be a left-invariant equivalence on component AiA_i. The coordinatewise product equivalence E=∏iEiE=\prod_iE_i is left-invariant on ∥ψ(A1,…,An)\Vert_\psi(A_1,\ldots,A_n), and ∥ψ(A1,…,An)/E≅∥ψ(A1/E1,…,An/En)\Vert_\psi(A_1,\ldots,A_n)/E\cong\Vert_\psi(A_1/E_1,\ldots,A_n/E_n).

Context

The 2026 Boolean-product framework permits arbitrary arity and a separate allowed participant-set policy for every letter. Its public abstract emphasizes right-invariant reductions; reversal and a direct predecessor proof supply the left-handed transfer used here.

Hypotheses and scope

  • Event support is memoryless: admissibility depends only on the current letter and participant set.
  • Each component equivalence is left-invariant, including saturation of its initial set.

Proof or evidence

For one fixed participant set, advancing coordinates use the component predecessor-profile equalities; stuttering coordinates remain inside the same component blocks. This proves product left invariance. The same support witness proves that quotienting commutes exactly with the product construction.

Verification notes

The source checker covers 8,192 transition/policy/partition cases. An independent implementation reconfirms all 5,408 predecessor-compatible cases and additionally checks 56,448 saturated initial-set pairs and 86,528 final-set pairs.

Limitations

  • This is likely a classical reversal consequence or framework synthesis; no novelty or priority claim is made.
  • It concerns the product of component automata, not automatically the natural prefix automaton of a Boolean-product expression.
