One-Sided Recursions

Summary: Introduce 'one-sided recursions', a subset of recursive definitions that allows simple, selection-aware evaluation using minimal state. Present detection and two complementary algorithms (one applies per selection), prove many-sided impossibility and undecidability of equivalence, and give a practical conversion procedure complete for a useful class.
