Original question and givens

Ordered second-stage branch counts=[], n=0; candidate common width h=7. Give (actual total, assumed n*h total, does every branch equal h?, n*h−actual total).

  • G001 — Ordered second-stage branch counts=[], n=0; candidate common width h=7. Give (actual total, assumed n*h total, does every branch equal h?, n*h−actual total).

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

declared finite tagged choices or full-product protocol

After

combinatorial counts,not probabilities or independence

Conditions: none

Addition uses disjoint tags and multiplication uses the declared full cross-stage protocol;neither is a probability-independence assumption.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_counting_protocol_scope · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

actual branch total := sum()

After

actual branch total = 0

Conditions: none

Add the actual widths of the conditional branches.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

assumed common-width total := mul(0, 7)

After

assumed common-width total = 0

Conditions: none

Separately compute n times candidate width h without yet asserting equal branch widths.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

assumed minus actual total := sub(0, 0)

After

assumed minus actual total = 0

Conditions: none

The signed defect is assumed n·h minus the actual total.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

branch comparisons=[]

After

all equal h=Yes

Conditions: none

With no first-stage branches,the width universal is vacuously true but the actual count is0;this differs from a zero-stage full product's single empty sequence.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: uniform_width_not_aggregate_equality · Uses: G001, S004

Reverse checks

  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute assumed minus actual total with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute assumed common-width total with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute actual branch total with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(0, 0, Yes, 0)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
