Building an LSFR Logical bit map using characteristic polynomials How would one build an LSFR logical map, with a characteristic polynomial such as

$$P(x) = x^4 + x^3 + 1$$?
Also how would you interpret it, and what would you do to  do the reverse it in order to create a characteristic polynomial from an LSFR map? Thank you
The recipocal $P^*(x)$ of a polynomial $$P(x)= a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2 + \cdots + a_nx^n$$ is given by;

$$P^*(x) = a_n + a_{n-1}x + \cdots + a_0x^n = x^n P(x^{-1})$$

The feedback polynomial that defines the tap points of LFSR. The characteristic polynomial and is the reciprocal of feedback. Therefore;

Let $P^*(x)= x^4 \cdot P(1/x) = 1 + x + x^4 $ be the feedback polynomial LFSR   calculated by the recipocal of characteristic polynomial $P(x)$. Then the taps of the LFSR as follows;
