Original question and givens

The complete finite integer distance table=[[0, 16, 33, 51], [16, 0, 17, 35], [33, 17, 0, 18], [51, 35, 18, 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,d[i][j]=d[j][i] for every ordered pair?).

  • G001 — The complete finite integer distance table=[[0, 16, 33, 51], [16, 0, 17, 35], [33, 17, 0, 18], [51, 35, 18, 0]] on Fin(4)={0,…,3} has entry d[i][j].

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

source roles = [qf-str22-metric-symmetry-audit, metric-symmetry-audit]

After

derived = [[n, distances, symmetric]]

Conditions: none

Use this bank exact ordered tuple and hyphenated operation.Rational outputs reduce with positive denominators and OMIT/1 for integers,unlike the preceding legacy bank.Do not change original bilingual snapshots or meaning.

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [4, [[0, 16, 33, 51], [16, 0, 17, 35], [33, 17, 0, 18], [51, 35, 18, 0]], 0]

After

derived = [[0, 16, 33, 51], [0, 16, 33, 51], [Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes]]

Conditions: none

Compare d(i,j) with d(j,i) for EVERY original j,without assuming other axioms.Symmetry may hold even when the table is not a metric.

Result

(4, [[0, 16, 33, 51], [16, 0, 17, 35], [33, 17, 0, 18], [51, 35, 18, 0]], Yes)

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