Work-tape placement correctness internals #
This file proves exact step and bounded-reachability commutation for
TM.placeWorkTM. The strongest one-step theorem evolves an arbitrary physical
extra-tape frame by its prescribed idle action. Stable frames and the canonical
parked frame are fixed points of that action.
Exact one-step commutation with an arbitrary extra-tape frame. The source machine takes one step while every physical extra tape takes its idle action.
If every observable extra tape is off the left-end marker, the extra frame is fixed and one placed step commutes through the same embedding.
Bounded reachability commutes exactly while a stable arbitrary frame is preserved around the source work tapes.
The canonical parked frame is fixed by a placed source step.
Bounded reachability commutes through the canonical parked embedding.
The first placed step from the ordinary initial configuration performs the source machine's first step and parks every surrounding blank tape.
Simulation from an ordinary initial configuration. At time zero the placed configuration is its ordinary initial configuration; every positive run ends in the canonical parked embedding of the source configuration.
Work-tape placement preserves deterministic function computation with the same time bound.
