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.
explicit rational points embedded in the real line
After
exact finite order and distance data,not real completeness or irrational classification
Conditions: none
Use exact rational values for this finite slice of the real line,without rounded decimals or claims about real completeness or classification of irrationals.

Before
[[-7, 2], [0, 1], [8, 3]]
After
[-7/2, 0/1, 8/3]
Conditions: none
Sort and deduplicate by rational value,not fraction strings;0/−2 and0/3 represent the same point0.
Every containing closed interval must include the smallest and largest points,hence this interval is minimal.This is not a claim that topological closure fills the gaps of a finite point set.
S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute smallest containing interval width with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
Result
([-7/2, 0/1, 8/3], -7/2, 8/3, 37/6)
The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
