Context
The question is whether Gao's recursive set construction can be represented compositionally as regular languages after the five-dimensional base is generated without a vector table.
Proof or evidence
Gao's set-valued maps unpack into seven code rectangles and nine further closed typed formulas. Structural induction gives exact denotation and imports independence from Gao's lemma.
Verification notes
The base contributes zero, epsilon, and ten generated-language nodes; each of six product steps adds 32 canonical syntax nodes. The 204-node DAG reproduces the published M40 integer exactly.
Limitations
- The independent-set construction and its product proof are Gao's; the contribution is the explicit language-level compiler and resource account.
- The compiler presents a known code and does not improve the current C7 lower bound.
