## Original question and givens

Use an exact finite rational-point slice embedded in R, without approximate decimals or a completeness claim. origin=6/2, ordered points=[5/1, 5/2, 3/1, 11/3]. Give (each point−origin, each offset’s absolute value), retaining the four-field order.


- G001 — Use an exact finite rational-point slice embedded in R, without approximate decimals or a completeness claim. origin=6/2, ordered points=[5/1, 5/2, 3/1, 11/3]. Give (each point−origin, each offset’s absolute value), retaining the four-field order.





## 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.
