Context
A new scaffold node may point only to itself or into the previous top's reachable component. This chronological restriction forces a total reachability order from every current top.
Definitions
- Weakly acyclic means that the only directed cycles are self-loops.
- A port action on the ordered figure is regressive when for every state .
- A monoid is -trivial when Green's -classes are singletons.
Hypotheses and scope
- Legally generated chronological scaffolds for the forward direction.
- Finite, rooted, labelled, behaviorally reduced reachability-chain port graphs for the converse.
Proof or evidence
Creation time proves weak acyclicity; induction on appended nodes proves total reachability. Conversely, build states from least to greatest and name every strict successor by a port word from the previous top. Pointwise regressiveness collapses any Green-R pair. The replayed checker reconstructed 21,368 accessible chain graphs and verified R-triviality for 3,585 generated figure monoids.
Verification notes
The proof, converse distance bound, and Green-relation argument were rechecked; the complete-domain checker was rerun successfully.
Limitations
- The navigation alphabet is the internal port alphabet of one finite figure, not the streamed input alphabet.
- The theorem does not make the recognized language regular or R-trivial.
- No braid, free-tree-monoid, or novelty claim is made.
Notes
The navigation alphabet is the internal port alphabet of one finite historical figure, not the streamed input alphabet, so the claim does not make the recognized language regular or R-trivial. The result does not identify a particular port monoid with a free tree monoid and makes no braid or novelty claim.
