Original question and givens

Use the complete total map Fin(0)=∅→Fin(0) with images=[] in source-index order. Validate every image in the declared codomain first. Equal finite cardinalities do not make the given map bijective. Ordered queries=[0, -1]. Give (images, bijectivity, two codomain type guards, two inverse values). If f is not bijective use not-an-inverse-function for each value; otherwise an untyped query yields outside-codomain.

  • G001 — Use the complete total map Fin(0)=∅→Fin(0) with images=[] in source-index order. Validate every image in the declared codomain first. Equal finite cardinalities do not make the given map bijective. Ordered queries=[0, -1]. Give (images, bijectivity, two codomain type guards, two inverse values). If f is not bijective use not-an-inverse-function for each value; otherwise an untyped query yields outside-codomain.

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=0;m=0;images=[]

After

complete typed total map;inverse is not reciprocal

Conditions: none

Validate the whole original total table first.Equal finite cardinalities do not ensure this particular table is bijective,and a zero function value does not prohibit an inverse.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: inverse_typed_map_scope · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

n=0;m=0;fibers=[]

After

bijective=Yes

Conditions: none

For the already total map,exactly one preimage per codomain target is equivalent to bijectivity.The empty-to-empty map qualifies;checking n=m alone is insufficient.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: inverse_bijection_gate · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

query0=0;bijective=Yes;in Fin(0)=No

After

inverse value/status=outside the codomain

Conditions: none

Retain the query type mask separately.A nonbijective original map takes precedence and yields not-an-inverse-function.Read the unique preimage only if the inverse exists and the target is typed.

Rule: inverse_query_guard_precedence · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

query1=-1;bijective=Yes;in Fin(0)=No

After

inverse value/status=outside the codomain

Conditions: none

Retain the query type mask separately.A nonbijective original map takes precedence and yields not-an-inverse-function.Read the unique preimage only if the inverse exists and the target is typed.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: inverse_query_guard_precedence · Uses: G001, S003

Reverse checks

  • 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 — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • 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

([], Yes, [No, No], [outside-codomain, outside-codomain])

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