Use the complete finite self-map on Fin(8)={0,…,7} given by T(x)=(a*x+b) mod 8, a=19, b=47. Choose the least nonnegative residue, including for negative a*x+b. Time is discrete, indexed from 0; a finite orbit is not a general stability result. x0=2, updates=0. Give (modulus, a, b, x0, update count, orbit including x0). Zero updates gives the one-element prefix [x0].

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.
Fix the full finite state carrier and the same update rule;negative integers also use the standard remainder from0 through n−1.
Step identifiers and dependencies
Rule: finite_total_map · Uses: G001
S002 · implies
Before
x₀=2; transitions=0
After
initial orbit prefix=[2]
Conditions: none
Retain the initial state;steps=0 still has one known state,not an empty list.
Step identifiers and dependencies
Rule: orbit_initial_state · Uses: G001, S001
S003 · implies
Before
computed transitions=0
After
orbit=[2]; number of entries=1
Conditions: none
Apply the same T to the preceding result; k transitions give k+1 states.
Step identifiers and dependencies
Rule: orbit_prefix_length · Uses: G001, S002
S004 · implies
Before
a finite requested prefix
After
no unrequested least-period claim
Conditions: none
This output is the requested prefix;it is not an unverified least-period proof from a few orbit values.
Step identifiers and dependencies
Rule: finite_prefix_scope · 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
(8, 19, 47, 2, 0, [2])
The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
