Context
The source model makes persistent branch sharing explicit: several output slots may select one preceding source stack and apply different simultaneous updates.
Hypotheses and scope
- The number of slots is fixed and positive, and the source alphabet, stack alphabet, and control are finite at the published boundary.
- One input symbol is consumed per transition, all assignments are simultaneous, and acceptance depends only on finite control.
Proof or evidence
Lean formalizes source configurations and runs, the depth-two observation functions, distance and SELF constraints, initialization, one-step preservation, all-prefix induction, exact control and stack correspondence, and Boolean language equality including epsilon.
Verification notes
The all-prefix proof was independently decomposed into exact top observation, one-step root-sharing preservation, invariant preservation, and list induction. Initialization, epsilon readout, simultaneous source selection, finite-control acceptance, formal endpoints, the two-slot calibration, and proof-hole scan were checked against the pinned source.
Limitations
- The theorem does not construct a source-selecting machine from an arbitrary PDA or its bounded frontier.
- It assumes rather than derives a stationary finite-control slot allocator, including any equality-sensitive deduplication policy.
- Finiteness and positive degree remain explicit obligations at the LMR-to-PEG boundary.
Notes
Lean 4.30.0 checks the source configuration/run semantics, depth-two observation functions, distance and SELF constraints, simulation initialization, one-step preservation, all-prefix induction, exact control/stack correspondence, and equality of Boolean readout. A two-slot calibration derives [7] and [8] from the same preceding source slot in one round. The theorem does not construct such a machine from a bounded PDA frontier. A stationary finite-control slot allocator, including any equality-sensitive deduplication, remains an explicit hypothesis. Finiteness of the carriers and positive degree are external obligations at the published LMR boundary. This opens no M34 and does not edit the paused EPAL publication.
