Question 29361: Nonnegativity and Separation Are Independent Table Checks

Original question and givens

The complete finite integer distance table=[[0, 11, 23, 36], [11, 0, 12, 25], [23, 12, 0, 13], [36, 25, 13, 0]] on Fin(4)={0,…,3} has entry d[i][j]. Retain every label and row/column order. A qualified metric requires nonnegativity, d[i][j]=0 iff i=j, symmetry and all triangle inequalities; finite-model verification does not establish a claim for arbitrary infinite spaces. Give (size,distances,all entries nonnegative?,zero exactly on the diagonal?).

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

source roles = [qf-str22-metric-table-qualification, metric-table-qualification]

derived = [[n, distances, nonnegative, separation]]

source roles = [4, [[0, 11, 23, 36], [11, 0, 12, 25], [23, 12, 0, 13], [36, 25, 13, 0]], 0]

derived = [[Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes], [Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes]]

source roles = [4, [[0, 11, 23, 36], [11, 0, 12, 25], [23, 12, 0, 13], [36, 25, 13, 0]], 1]

derived = [[Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes], [Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes]]

source roles = [4, [[0, 11, 23, 36], [11, 0, 12, 25], [23, 12, 0, 13], [36, 25, 13, 0]], 2]

derived = [[Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes], [Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes]]

source roles = [4, [[0, 11, 23, 36], [11, 0, 12, 25], [23, 12, 0, 13], [36, 25, 13, 0]], 3]

derived = [[Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes], [Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes]]

Result

(4, [[0, 11, 23, 36], [11, 0, 12, 25], [23, 12, 0, 13], [36, 25, 13, 0]], Yes, Yes)

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