Given a monoid string rewriting system M, one way of obtaining a complete rewriting system for M is to use the classical Knuth–Bendix critical pairs completion algorithm. It is well-known that this algorithm is equivalent to computing a noncommutative Gröbner basis for M. This article develops an alternative approach, using noncommutative involutive basis methods to obtain a complete involutive rewriting system for M.
