>>]>[A finite TM is translatable into a FSM.

Consider an input tape with a left end marker '<' and right end marker '>'.
Between the markers are the symbols '(' and ')'.

The following Markov machine terminates with 'Y' if the '()' are semi-Dyck,
'N' if not.

	<	->	[p
	p(	->	(p
	(p)	->	p
	[p>	->	Y

	[p)	->	q
	q(	->	q
	q)	->	q
	q>	->	N

	(r>	->	r
	(r	->	r
	)r	->	r
	[r	->	N

This has a fixed number of rules. For any input string of length n, it uses
finite space O(n) and finite time O(n).

>>]>[A finite TM is translatable into a FSM.

This is finite and TM-equivalent. Please translate into a FSM for any legal
input string.
