Use the usual total order on R, restricted to exact rational inputs whose original denominators are positive. Output reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1; do not extrapolate to arbitrary partial orders or complex numbers. a=6/3, b=7/2, t=0/3. Give (a, b, t, t*a, t*b, original comparison, scaled comparison, order-preserved/order-reversed/collapsed according to the sign of t).

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.
These exact rationals use the usual real total order,not complex numbers or an arbitrary partial order.Original denominators must be positive;normalizing a negative input denominator does not waive that contract.

Before
scaled first value := mul(0, 2)
After
scaled first value = 0
Conditions: none
Substitute the source data exactly in the stated operand order;division requires a nonzero denominator.
Reduced denominators are positive,so the cross-difference sign determines order.Retain equality and use original indices separately to break equal-value sorting ties.

The direction label depends on the scale's sign.Positive preserves,negative reverses,and zero collapses both values to0 even if originally equal.Equality remains equality under negative scaling.
