Wow, thank you.
So I adhere to the Schützenberger view of automata theory, that the way to explain a semester's finite automata theory to a math major in twenty minutes is via rational power series on noncommuting variables. Change the semiring from true/false to probabilities and one gets hidden Markov chain theory.
So how do nondeterministic transition systems fit into this picture? I'm guessing that the connection should blow my mind with a new way to see power series?

I'd love to see both an answer to your question, and also your twenty minute explanation written up, if you haven't already!

I have no idea what all of this means, but would like to share a GPT-4 discussion that might illuminate your request.

One thing that I have often thought though is that the mathematical sciences could do with more cross-pollination with coalgebra.
