Abstract: It is known that (i) a subspace $mathcalN$ of the Hardy space $H^2$ which is invariant under the backward shift operator can be represented as the range of the observability operator of a conservative discrete-time linear system, (ii) the transfer-function of this conservative linear system in turn is the inner Beurling-Lax representer for the forward-shift invariant subspace $mathcalM:={mathcalN}^{p}erp$, and (iii) this transfer function also serves as the Sz.-Nagy-Foias characteristic function of the pure contraction operator $T$ given by $T=P_{mathcalN}{M}_z{|}_{mathcalN}$. The main focus of this paper is to present the extension of this structure to a more general setting. The Hardy space is replaced by the full weighted Bergman-Fock space of formal power series in $d$ freely noncommutative indeterminates, where the shift is replaced by the right shift tuple, where the conservative/dissipative discrete-time linear system becomes a certain type of conservative/dissipative multidimensional linear system with time-varying weights and with evolution along a rooted tree with each node having $d$ forward branches, where a backward shift-invariant subspace $mathcalN$ is the range of the observability operator for such a weighted-Bergman multidimensional linear system, and where the transfer function of this system is the Beurling-Lax representer for the forward shift-invariant subspace $mathcalM={mathcalN}^{[perp]}$, and where this transfer function also serves as the characteristic function for the operator tuple having hypercontractive-operator-tuple adjoint equal to the restriction of the backward-shift tuple to $mathcalN$.
