Recursive Closure Under Kleene Star #

This file proves that recursive languages are closed under Kleene star.

The decider builds a dynamic-programming table for the input word w. The table entry at index j records whether the prefix w.take j belongs to L∗; to fill entry j + 1, it searches all earlier cut positions i and checks whether the left prefix is already accepted and the nonempty block w.drop i |>.take (j + 1 - i) belongs to L.

Recursive languages over finite, primcodable alphabets are closed under Kleene star.
