Extends graded monads by indexing grades with typed Kleene algebra (regular-language-style operations) and gives an operational semantics via the free monad operational semantics on intrinsically typed terms. Shows decidable grade checking by restricting to regular-language models, proves grade soundness, and encodes typed grades as pre/post states to forbid ill-formed traces (e.g. double-lock deadlocks), while supporting monadic recursion and easier grade polymorphism than categorical models. Includes a proof-of-concept: state flip example that collapses to identity under composition laws.
