Original question and givens

Use complete epsilon-NFA states=[s24, m24, f24, e124, e224, d24], alphabet=[a24, b24], start=s24, final_states=[f24], transitions=[[s24, null, m24], [s24, null, d24], [m24, a24, m24], [m24, b24, f24], [f24, null, e124], [e124, null, e224]]. Each transition is [from,input symbol or null,to], with null consuming no input. States/labels and transitions must qualify, and subsets are unique carrier subsets sorted lexicographically. Empty alphabet/final sets and empty subset states are allowed. Supplied full input=[b24]. Give (input, DFA_prefix_subsets, direct_NFA_prefix_subsets, prefix_invariant, accepted, certificate, finite_tests_language_equivalence_claim, boundary).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source operation=subsetdfa-full-word-trace-invariant;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[input, DFA_prefix_subsets, direct_NFA_prefix_subsets, prefix_invariant, accepted, certificate, finite_tests_language_equivalence_claim, boundary]

Conditions: none

Keep the source snapshot while listing ordered fields without JavaScript.Radius uses its original mode to select6 or11 fields without padding;distinguish nonclaims from actual negations.

After

final set normalized UTF16=[f24];states nonempty,alphabet/finals/relation MAYEMPTY;DUPLICATE triples rejected in THIS model

Conditions: none

This model differs from the earlier NFA node:transition triples are unique and finals are sorted.Subsets must be actual carrier subsets;do not import old duplicate/final-order conventions.

After

prefix_invariant=Yes;accepted=Yes;base is EPS closure of start;for ANY prefix,append one symbol move then finite EPS suffix to obtain EXACTLY all next reachable states

Conditions: none

General equivalence uses arbitrary-prefix induction with both inclusions:every DFA move has an NFA path witness,and any NFA path for the next prefix decomposes into prior prefix,symbol edge and EPS suffix.Intersection with finals then corresponds to a full accepting run.The fixed No only withholds general equivalence from finite word tests alone;it negates neither this invariant/acceptance nor the theorem.
