Original question and givens

Use alphabet=[a, b, c] and typed regular-expression AST={"type":"symbol","value":"a"}. Words are arrays of alphabet symbols; distinguish empty language from the language containing the empty word. Enumerate every accepted word of length at most=1. Give (alphabet, canonical_typed_AST, max_length, complete_bounded_language, word_count, bounded_enumeration_complete, epsilon_cycle_scope).

  • G001 — Use alphabet=[a, b, c] and typed regular-expression AST={"type":"symbol","value":"a"}. Words are arrays of alphabet symbols; distinguish empty language from the language containing the empty word. Enumerate every accepted word of length at most=1. Give (alphabet, canonical_typed_AST, max_length, complete_bounded_language, word_count, bounded_enumeration_complete, epsilon_cycle_scope).

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 roles = [regex-bounded-language]

After

derived = [[alphabet, canonical_typed_AST, max_length, complete_bounded_language, word_count, bounded_enumeration_complete, epsilon_cycle_scope]]

Conditions: none

List the complete operation/mode field order without JavaScript or answer-shape inference;Boolean,string,null and an unclaimed result remain distinct.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_fields_without_JS · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [Regex ORIGINAL bounded.ast, [a, b, c], {'type': 'symbol', 'value': 'a'}]

After

derived = [{'type': 'symbol', 'value': 'a'}, {type:"symbol",value:"a"}]

Conditions: none

For EACH node qualify type,exact keys and symbol membership.A union checks raw arity>=2 BEFORE extensional deduplication,so its canonical form may have one child.Concatenation retains order and star retains its child.Do not revalidate canonical output as raw input with a new arity gate.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Regex_EACH_typed_node_exact_keys_symbol_scope_union_set_concat_order · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

source roles = [[a, b, c], 1]

After

derived = [4]

Conditions: none

The bounded universe has sum |alphabet|^k words,including epsilon,and source budget<=4096.This defines complete bounded enumeration,not unbounded equivalence.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Regex_COMPLETE_bounded_word_universe_not_unbounded_equivalence · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

source roles = [Regex ORIGINAL bounded.language, symbol, {'type': 'symbol', 'value': 'a'}, 1]

After

derived = [[[a]]]

Conditions: none

The empty language has no words;epsilon has the single empty word;a symbol has its one token within the queried length bound.Words are token arrays,not reinterpreted character splits.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Regex_atomic_language_EMPTY_versus_EPS_versus_literal_symbol · Uses: G001, S003

Reverse checks

  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check original data,operands,complete scope and premises;finite witnesses,conditional theorem use and formal proof remain distinct.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check original data,operands,complete scope and premises;finite witnesses,conditional theorem use and formal proof remain distinct.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check original data,operands,complete scope and premises;finite witnesses,conditional theorem use and formal proof remain distinct.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check original data,operands,complete scope and premises;finite witnesses,conditional theorem use and formal proof remain distinct.

Result

([a, b, c], {type:"symbol",value:"a"}, 1, [[a]], 1, Yes, epsilon_cycles_terminate_by_extensional_dedup)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
