Original question and givens
Use the complete finite epsilon-NFA: states=[s16, m16, f16, d16], alphabet=[a16, b16], start=s16, final_states=[f16], transitions=[[s16, null, m16], [s16, null, d16], [m16, a16, m16], [m16, b16, f16]]. Transitions are [from,input symbol or null,to]; null is epsilon and consumes no input. States are nonempty because the start belongs to them, but alphabet/final sets and the transition relation may be empty. The relation may be multivalued, not deterministic or total. A configuration is [state,input position]; acceptance requires one finite path consuming the entire input and ending final. Seed states=[s16]. Give (seed_states, epsilon_closure, closure_certificate, certificate).

After
explicit ordered source output fields=[seed_states, epsilon_closure, closure_certificate, certificate]
Conditions: none
Retain the historical interface marker while listing source fields without JavaScript.Tags and No retain their claim scope;source-protocol ordering is not a mathematical proof.
