Polynomial counter bounds for configuration-graph writers #

The STCON writer and the fair-coin table writer enumerate the same polynomial compact box. configurationCounter_bounds gives a common bound for the loop counters, original input length, and ternary symbol/count scratch register in terms of the length of the framed input.

Main results #

The polynomial counter bound dominates the compact box plus one, the input length, and two. The statement includes exponent zero and the empty original word.

With the polynomial horizon Turing.polyClock d n, the full clocked compact box plus one is bounded by a fixed power of 2 * (n + 1), including at the empty input and zero exponents.
