Original question and givens

The declared total function f:A→B has A=∅, B={0}, and table ∅. For target t=0∈B, find the cardinality of its preimage fiber, including a zero-size fiber. The target is not an input.

  • G001 — The declared total function f:A→B has A=∅, B={0}, and table ∅. For target t=0∈B, find the cardinality of its preimage fiber, including a zero-size fiber. The target is not an input.

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

source roles = [qf-injective-fiber-cardinality, fiber_cardinality, no-required-domain, []]

After

derived = [[integer_fiber_cardinality_STRING]]

Conditions: none

BASE sources do not acquire a generic legacy operation/domain or unknown-metadata ban.Retain metadata WITHOUT using it as an answer oracle.PULSE/legacy enforce their exact source keys,operation/domain.Do not impose universal tuples,/1 or input bounds.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R63_SOURCE_bank_keys_operation_domain_output_roles_metadata_not_oracle · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [A declared domain, legacy-injective, []]

After

derived = [[]]

Conditions: none

RAW A/B/C are distinct SAFE integers.Legacy injective limits100,but PULSE has NO such cap.Sort ONLY a derived work table,retaining original lists.

S003 · implies

Before

source roles = [B declared codomain, legacy-injective, [0]]

After

derived = [[0]]

Conditions: none

RAW A/B/C are distinct SAFE integers.Legacy injective limits100,but PULSE has NO such cap.Sort ONLY a derived work table,retaining original lists.

S004 · implies

Before

source roles = [legacy-injective, []]

After

derived = [[]]

Conditions: none

PULSE rejects EXACT duplicate RAW rows BEFORE totality,not as a legal No.Legacy injective FIRST checks raw length≤200,then normalizes identical rows as one pair.Do not exchange these policies;type-check EVERY raw cell first.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Map_RAW_pairs_arity_SAFE_DUPLICATE_policy_BEFORE_totality · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

source roles = [legacy-injective, [], [0], [], Yes]

After

derived = [[], [], Yes]

Conditions: none

A total function needs BOTH every declared input AND every row qualified.PULSE validity may legally return No;other queries and legacy injective REQUIRE actual totality BEFORE lookup.Empty A/table can be valid;unattained B labels remain.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Map_TOTAL_all_declared_inputs_AND_ALL_rows_before_any_lookup · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

source roles = [[], 0, []]

After

derived = [0]

Conditions: none

The COMPLETE fiber may be empty with cardinality0.Return its count as an integer string,not the target value or a probability.
