Original question and givens

N begins at 0; retain sequence order and repeated values. A finite prefix does not determine a unique infinite rule, convergence, or infinite series. a_0=12, a_(n+1)=a_n+(-1), start=22, length=3. Give (window indices, term values, adjacent differences); length=0 gives three empty lists.

  • G001 — N begins at 0; retain sequence order and repeated values. A finite prefix does not determine a unique infinite rule, convergence, or infinite series. a_0=12, a_(n+1)=a_n+(-1), start=22, length=3. Give (window indices, term values, adjacent differences); length=0 gives three empty lists.

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

N starts at0;ordered finite indices and repeated values retained

After

given recurrences differ from guessing an infinite rule from observations

Conditions: none

Sequences are ordered and may repeat.A finite observed prefix alone does not determine a unique infinite rule;when a recurrence is explicitly supplied,use that rule rather than inventing one.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_ordered_sequence_scope · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

a(0)=12;a(n+1)=a(n)+(-1)

After

a(n)=12+n·(-1) by this supplied affine recurrence

Conditions: none

The base n=0 holds;if a(n)=s+nd,adding d gives s+(n+1)d.This follows from the explicitly given recurrence,not guessing an infinite rule from a few observations.

S003 · calculation

Before

window start increment := mul(22, -1)

After

window start increment = -22

Conditions: none

Use the derived form for the accumulated increment at the window start.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

window start value := sum(12, -22)

After

window start value = -10

Conditions: none

Add the increment to the initial value to obtain the first window term.

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

window recurrence term1 := sum(-10, -1)

After

window recurrence term1 = -11

Conditions: none

Inside the window,add d according to the same recurrence.

S006 · calculation

Before

window recurrence term2 := sum(-11, -1)

After

window recurrence term2 = -12

Conditions: none

Inside the window,add d according to the same recurrence.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · calculation

Before

window adjacent difference0 := sub(-11, -10)

After

window adjacent difference0 = -1

Conditions: none

Subtract actual neighboring window values to audit the increment.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · calculation

Before

window adjacent difference1 := sub(-12, -11)

After

window adjacent difference1 = -1

Conditions: none

Subtract actual neighboring window values to audit the increment.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S007

S009 · implies

Before

window indices=[22, 23, 24];values=[-10, -11, -12]

After

adjacent deltas=[-1, -1]

Conditions: none

Align each index with its term;length=1 has no adjacent differences.Do not deduplicate term values or require them to be natural numbers.

Reverse checks

  • S009 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S008 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute window adjacent difference1 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute window adjacent difference0 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute window recurrence term2 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute window recurrence term1 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute window start value with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute window start increment 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

([22, 23, 24], [-10, -11, -12], [-1, -1])

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