Executable compact configuration graphs #

A fixed finite-state binary nondeterministic multi-tape machine has a compact configuration graph for every radix B: each vertex packs, below B, an input position, control tag, output summary and two ternary stacks plus a head per work tape. The original input word is omitted. When every reachable view fits the radix, the graph is exact; a machine using logarithmic work space fits the radix (n+2)^D for a fixed D, so its graph has polynomially many natural-number vertices. A vertex overflows when one of its steps leaves the radix; a graph in which no reachable vertex overflows already represents every reachable view, whatever the space of the machine.

The local edge routine uses one supplied input symbol, forces blank at the native boundary cells, and otherwise performs deterministic arithmetic in linear workspace in the binary radix, length and vertex IDs. Its ComputableInSpace certificate is for an actual native multi-tape machine. The graph-to-source correctness theorem applies without a source halting assumption.
