If a word reduces to another word, then they have a common maximal reduction.

If a word reduces to another word, then they have a common maximal reduction.
If two words correspond to the same element in the free group, then they have a common maximal reduction. This is the proof that the function that sends an element of the free group to its maximal reduction is well-defined.
If two words correspond to the same element in the additive free group, then they have a common maximal reduction. This is the proof that the function that sends an element of the free group to its maximal reduction is well-defined.
