+# NFA Infrastructure for Regular Grammars
+
+This infrastructure provides a token-based NFA (Nondeterministic Finite Automaton) system for compiling and matching regular grammars.
+
+## Overview
+
+The NFA infrastructure consists of three main components:
+
+1. **NFA Types** (`nfa.ts`) - Core data structures for representing NFAs
+2. **NFA Compiler** (`nfaCompiler.ts`) - Compiles grammars to NFAs
+3. **NFA Interpreter** (`nfaInterpreter.ts`) - Runs NFAs against token sequences for debugging
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Token-based**: Works with tokens (words/symbols) as atomic units, not characters
+- **Debugging support**: Interpret NFAs directly to trace execution
+- **Grammar combination**: Combine multiple NFAs using sequence or choice operations
+- **Variable capture**: Capture wildcard matches and numbers into variables
+- **Extensible**: Foundation for DFA compilation (future work)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Example: Compile and Match
+
+```typescript
+import { Grammar } from "./grammarTypes.js";
+import { compileGrammarToNFA } from "./nfaCompiler.js";
+import { matchNFA } from "./nfaInterpreter.js";
+
+// Define a grammar
+const grammar: Grammar = {
+  rules: [
+    {
+      parts: [
+        { type: "string", value: ["hello"] },
+        { type: "wildcard", variable: "name", typeName: "string" },
+      ],
+    },
+  ],
+};
+
+// Compile to NFA
+const nfa = compileGrammarToNFA(grammar, "greeting");
+
+// Match against tokens
+const result = matchNFA(nfa, ["hello", "Alice"]);
+
+console.log(result.matched); // true
+console.log(result.captures.get("name")); // "Alice"
+```
+
+### Grammar with Alternatives
+
+```typescript
+const grammar: Grammar = {
+  rules: [
+    {
+      parts: [{ type: "string", value: ["hello"] }],
+    },
+    {
+      parts: [{ type: "string", value: ["hi"] }],
+    },
+  ],
+};
+
+const nfa = compileGrammarToNFA(grammar, "greeting");
+
+matchNFA(nfa, ["hello"]); // { matched: true, ... }
+matchNFA(nfa, ["hi"]); // { matched: true, ... }
+matchNFA(nfa, ["bye"]); // { matched: false, ... }
+```
+
+### Grammar with Sequence
+
+```typescript
+const grammar: Grammar = {
+  rules: [
+    {
+      parts: [
+        { type: "string", value: ["start"] },
+        { type: "wildcard", variable: "command", typeName: "string" },
+        { type: "string", value: ["end"] },
+      ],
+    },
+  ],
+};
+```
+
+### Optional Parts
+
+```typescript
+const grammar: Grammar = {
+  rules: [
+    {
+      parts: [
+        { type: "string", value: ["hello"] },
+        {
+          type: "wildcard",
+          variable: "name",
+          typeName: "string",
+          optional: true, // Can be skipped
+        },
+      ],
+    },
+  ],
+};
+
+const nfa = compileGrammarToNFA(grammar);
+
+matchNFA(nfa, ["hello", "Alice"]); // matches, captures name="Alice"
+matchNFA(nfa, ["hello"]); // also matches, no capture
+```
+
+### Combining NFAs
+
+```typescript
+import { combineNFAs } from "./nfa.js";
+
+const nfa1 = compileGrammarToNFA(grammar1);
+const nfa2 = compileGrammarToNFA(grammar2);
+
+// Sequence: match nfa1 then nfa2
+const sequential = combineNFAs(nfa1, nfa2, "sequence");
+
+// Choice: match either nfa1 or nfa2
+const alternative = combineNFAs(nfa1, nfa2, "choice");
+```
+
+### Debugging with NFA Interpreter
+
+```typescript
+import { matchNFA, printNFA, printMatchResult } from "./nfaInterpreter.js";
+
+const nfa = compileGrammarToNFA(grammar, "my-grammar");
+
+// Print NFA structure
+console.log(printNFA(nfa));
+/* Output:
+NFA: my-grammar
+  Start state: 0
+  Accepting states: [2]
+  States (3):
+    State 0:
+      ε -> 1
+    State 1:
+      [hello] -> 2
+    State 2 [ACCEPT]:
+      (no transitions)
+*/
+
+// Match with debugging enabled
+const result = matchNFA(nfa, ["hello"], true);
+console.log(printMatchResult(result, ["hello"]));
+/* Output:
+Match result: SUCCESS
+Tokens consumed: 1/1
+Visited states: [0, 1, 2]
+*/
+```
+
+### Number Matching
+
+```typescript
+const grammar: Grammar = {
+  rules: [
+    {
+      parts: [
+        { type: "string", value: ["count"] },
+        { type: "number", variable: "n" },
+      ],
+    },
+  ],
+};
+
+const nfa = compileGrammarToNFA(grammar);
+
+const result = matchNFA(nfa, ["count", "42"]);
+console.log(result.matched); // true
+console.log(result.captures.get("n")); // 42 (as number)
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### NFA Structure
+
+An NFA consists of:
+
+- **States**: Nodes in the automaton with unique IDs
+- **Transitions**: Edges between states, can be:
+  - `token`: Match specific token(s)
+  - `epsilon`: Free transition (no input consumed)
+  - `wildcard`: Match any token (for variables)
+- **Start state**: Where matching begins
+- **Accepting states**: States where matching succeeds
+
+### Compilation Strategy
+
+The compiler converts grammar rules to NFAs using these patterns:
+
+1. **String parts** → Token transitions
+2. **Wildcards** → Wildcard transitions with variable capture
+3. **Numbers** → Wildcard transitions with type constraint
+4. **Rule alternatives** → Epsilon branches from start state
+5. **Sequences** → Chain states with transitions
+6. **Optional parts** → Add epsilon bypass transition
+
+### Token-Based Matching
+
+Unlike character-based regex engines, this NFA works at the token level:
+
+- Input is an array of strings (tokens)
+- Each transition consumes one token (except epsilon)
+- Wildcards match exactly one token
+- More efficient for natural language processing
+
+## Proposed Structure: Start → Preamble Command Postamble
+
+The NFA infrastructure is designed to support the regular grammar pattern discussed in your transcription:
+
+```
+start → preamble command postamble
+```
+
+Where:
+
+- `preamble` and `postamble` are optional boilerplate (politeness, greetings)
+- `command` is the core action
+- Everything is regular (no recursive nesting)
+
+### Example Implementation
+
+```typescript
+const grammar: Grammar = {
+  rules: [
+    {
+      parts: [
+        // Optional preamble
+        {
+          type: "rules",
+          optional: true,
+          rules: [
+            { parts: [{ type: "string", value: ["please"] }] },
+            { parts: [{ type: "string", value: ["kindly"] }] },
+          ],
+        },
+        // Core command
+        {
+          type: "wildcard",
+          variable: "command",
+          typeName: "string",
+        },
+        // Optional postamble
+        {
+          type: "rules",
+          optional: true,
+          rules: [
+            { parts: [{ type: "string", value: ["thanks"] }] },
+            { parts: [{ type: "string", value: ["thank you"] }] },
+          ],
+        },
+      ],
+    },
+  ],
+};
+```
+
+This matches:
+
+- "schedule meeting" (just command)
+- "please schedule meeting" (preamble + command)
+- "schedule meeting thanks" (command + postamble)
+- "please schedule meeting thank you" (preamble + command + postamble)
+
+## Future Work
+
+### DFA Compilation
+
+The next step is to implement NFA → DFA conversion:
+
+```typescript
+// Future API
+import { compileToDFA } from "./dfaCompiler.js";
+
+const nfa = compileGrammarToNFA(grammar);
+const dfa = compileToDFA(nfa); // Subset construction algorithm
+
+// DFA matching is faster (deterministic, no backtracking)
+const result = matchDFA(dfa, tokens);
+```
+
+### Grammar Merging
+
+For combining generated rules with existing grammars:
+
+```typescript
+// Future API
+import { mergeGrammars } from "./grammarMerger.js";
+
+const baseGrammar = loadGrammar("base.agr");
+const generatedRules = generateFromExample(example);
+
+const merged = mergeGrammars(baseGrammar, generatedRules);
+const nfa = compileGrammarToNFA(merged);
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the test suite:
+
+```bash
+cd packages/actionGrammar
+npm test -- nfa.spec
+```
+
+Tests cover:
+
+- NFA builder operations
+- Grammar compilation
+- Alternatives, sequences, optionals
+- Wildcard and number matching
+- NFA combination
+- Debug printing
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Why Token-Based?
+
+1. **Natural language focus**: Tokens (words) are the semantic units
+2. **No character-level complexity**: No need for character classes, Unicode handling
+3. **Efficient matching**: Fewer transitions than character-based
+4. **Easy integration**: Works directly with tokenized input
+
+### Why Separate from Existing Grammar System?
+
+The existing `grammarMatcher.ts` is optimized for the current use case. This new NFA infrastructure provides:
+
+1. **Theoretical foundation**: Standard NFA/DFA algorithms
+2. **Debugging tools**: Inspect and trace automaton execution
+3. **Extensibility**: Easy to add DFA compilation, optimization
+4. **Grammar composition**: Formal operations for combining grammars
+
+Both systems can coexist:
+
+- Use NFA infrastructure for grammar development and debugging
+- Compile to existing matcher for production performance
+- Or replace existing matcher with DFA compiler (future)
