The register channel, as an expansion #
DescriptiveComplexity.WideAccept is in NEXPTIME because the wide machine of an
instance is the ordinary machine of an exponential expansion of it
(DescriptiveComplexity.Problems.Wide.Membership): twelve relation symbols,
each defined by a sentence over one or two copies of the address block. The
register channel changes exactly one of the twelve – the input – so this file
adds the sentence it needs, the expansion it names, and the membership that
follows.
The sentence is the segment channel's with one conjunct added: the segment
channel says «the address holds z exactly when z ≤ x», the register channel
says «exactly when z ≤ x and z carries an input symbol». Carrying one is
itself first-order (hasInpG), so the expansion stays what it was, and the two
expansions have the same tags, the same block and the same domain, hence the
same universe.
The sentence the register channel needs #
An element the channel writes for, as a guard: it carries an input symbol.

The initial tape at the register channel: the first address is the
segment some element x cuts among the elements that carry input, the second
point is a symbol y, and y is the input at x.

The expansion of a wide-machine instance at the register channel: the
tags, the block, the domain and eleven of the twelve symbols are
DescriptiveComplexity.wideExp's; the input is the register channel's.

The expanded structure at the register channel. Its universe is wideExp's

the points.

Reading a binary symbol of the register-channel expansion at two points.
Dependency graph
The initial tape of the expanded machine at the register channel: the segment an element cuts among the elements that carry input holds that element's input symbol.
Dependency graph
The wide machine at the register channel is the ordinary machine of the
register-channel expansion, fieldwise: eleven of the twelve symbols are
defined by the same sentences as wideExp's, so their readings are the same
readings, and the twelfth is relMap_inpReg.

The membership #
The register-channel machine is the ordinary machine of its expansion: acceptance of the one is acceptance of the other.
Dependency graph
The register-channel machine is in NEXPTIME, for the reason
DescriptiveComplexity.wideAccept_mem_NEXPTIME gives: its expansion is an
ordinary machine, and DescriptiveComplexity.NTMAccept is in NP. The two
problems are therefore in the same class, and a reduction may choose whichever
channel puts its input where it can reach it.
