This paper presents a new approach to regulation of grammars. It divides the
derivation trees generated by grammars into two sectionsgenerative and conclusive
(the conclusion). The former encompasses generation of symbols up till the moment
when the lowest rightmost terminal of the derivation tree is generated, whereas
the latter represents the final steps needed to successfully generate a sentence.
A control mechanism based on regulating only the conclusion is presented and
subsequently applied to tree-controlled grammars, creating conclusive
tree-controlled grammars. As the main result, it is shown that the ratio between
depths of generative and conclusive sections does not influence the generative
power. In addition, it is demonstrated that any recursively enumerable language
is generated by these grammars possessing no more than seven nonterminals while
the regulating language is union-free.
