[← Question derivation index](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/questions/) · [Original question batch](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/practice/batch-20261004-advance-20261005-r02-surjective-foundations/#q-20261004-advance-20261005-r02-surjective-0033)

This teaching derivation has second-context AI mathematical and bilingual semantic review, limited to the model and assumptions stated in this question. It has no human review or new Lean proof and does not promote the original question or MKO to Canonical truth.

## Original question and givens

The declared total function f:A→B has A={-2, -1, 0}, B={0, 1}, and table {(-2, 0), (-1, 1), (0, 0)}. List the uncovered targets B∖f[A] in increasing order, using ∅ for the empty set.


- G001 — The declared total function f:A→B has A={-2, -1, 0}, B={0, 1}, and table {(-2, 0), (-1, 1), (0, 0)}. List the uncovered targets B∖f[A] in increasing order, using ∅ for the empty set.





## 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 · impliesBefore

source roles = [qf-surjective-missing-targets, [A, B, operation, pairs]]

After

derived = [missing_targets, no-invented-domain]

Conditions: none

Keep EACH bank’s keys/operation/domain distinct:LDL/PULSE/function legacy table underscores,TREE full tree_* with its declared domain,and permissive BASE signed without invented op/domain.All arithmetic respects the binary-primitive contract.

Conditions: none

Compare EVERY permitted input’s output with THIS target.List EACH fiber completely;do not confuse target/input or infer surjectivity from cardinalities alone.
