Original question and givens

Using classical truth semantics, the explicit finite integer domain is U={-3, -2, 0} and P(x) means x≤-2. Which members of C={-5, -3, -2, 0, 4} are valid counterexamples to ∀x∈U P(x)? Return the set in increasing order with no duplicates.

G001 — Using classical truth semantics, the explicit finite integer domain is U={-3, -2, 0} and P(x) means x≤-2. Which members of C={-5, -3, -2, 0, 4} are valid counterexamples to ∀x∈U P(x)? Return the set in increasing order with no duplicates.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

U={-3, -2, 0};predicate=le -2

After

a counterexample requires c∈U and P(c)=False

Conditions: none

A counterexample needs both domain membership and predicate failure;an outside integer does not refute this restricted universal statement even if its formula is false.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_counterexample_domain · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

x=-3;predicate=le -2

After

P(-3)=Yes

Conditions: none

Substitute this integer into the declared condition;the formula's truth value does not change its domain eligibility.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: explicit_predicate_value · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

x=-2;predicate=le -2

After

P(-2)=Yes

Conditions: none

Substitute this integer into the declared condition;the formula's truth value does not change its domain eligibility.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: explicit_predicate_value · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

x=0;predicate=le -2

After

P(0)=No

Conditions: none

Substitute this integer into the declared condition;the formula's truth value does not change its domain eligibility.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: explicit_predicate_value · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

[[-3, Yes], [-2, Yes], [0, No]]

After

all finite-domain failures={0}

Conditions: none

Cover the entire declared finite domain;the universal statement on empty U is vacuously true and has no counterexample.This does not extend to larger or infinite domains.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: complete_finite_failure_inventory · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

candidate=-5;c∈U=No

After

legal counterexample=No

Conditions: none

A selected candidate must lie in both C and U and fail the predicate;an outside-domain predicate is left unevaluated for this inventory.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: candidate_counterexample_filter · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · implies

Before

candidate=-3;c∈U=Yes

After

legal counterexample=No

Conditions: none

A selected candidate must lie in both C and U and fail the predicate;an outside-domain predicate is left unevaluated for this inventory.

Rule: candidate_counterexample_filter · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · implies

Before

candidate=-2;c∈U=Yes

After

legal counterexample=No

Conditions: none

A selected candidate must lie in both C and U and fail the predicate;an outside-domain predicate is left unevaluated for this inventory.

S009 · implies

Before

candidate=0;c∈U=Yes

After

legal counterexample=Yes

Conditions: none

A selected candidate must lie in both C and U and fail the predicate;an outside-domain predicate is left unevaluated for this inventory.

Rule: candidate_counterexample_filter · Uses: G001, S008

S010 · implies

Before

candidate=4;c∈U=No

After

legal counterexample=No

Conditions: none

A selected candidate must lie in both C and U and fail the predicate;an outside-domain predicate is left unevaluated for this inventory.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: candidate_counterexample_filter · Uses: G001, S009

S011 · implies

Before

the explicitly declared finite exercise

After

no inference about an unspecified infinite domain

Conditions: none

Complete enumeration decides this finite universal statement,but finite success or absence of counterexamples is not a universal proof over an infinite domain.

Rule: finite_logic_scope · Uses: G001, S010
