Original question and givens

Only the named real-coordinate formulas l1(v)=sum_i |v_i| and linfinity(v)=max_i |v_i| are supported here. Their universal algebraic certificates, not a finite sample, supply the norm axioms. An unsupported name is outside this protocol, not a claim that every other formula fails to be a norm. norm_name=linfinity, left=[-7, 2, -1], right=[7, 6, -1] with equal dimension. Give (norm_name,left,right,left−right,distance).

  • G001 — Only the named real-coordinate formulas l1(v)=sum_i |v_i| and linfinity(v)=max_i |v_i| are supported here.

An unsupported name is outside this protocol, not a claim that every other formula fails to be a norm. norm_name=linfinity, left=[-7, 2, -1], right=[7, 6, -1] with equal dimension.

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 · calculation

Before

distance coordinate0 left-minus-right := sub(-7, 7)

After

distance coordinate0 left-minus-right = -14

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from the original roles and complete established operands,without changing pairings,order or replacing guards by approximation.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

distance coordinate1 left-minus-right := sub(2, 6)

After

distance coordinate1 left-minus-right = -4

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from the original roles and complete established operands,without changing pairings,order or replacing guards by approximation.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

distance coordinate2 left-minus-right := sub(-1, -1)

After

distance coordinate2 left-minus-right = 0

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from the original roles and complete established operands,without changing pairings,order or replacing guards by approximation.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

named certified norm=linfinity;left=[-7, 2, -1];right=[7, 6, -1]

After

ordered difference=[-14, -4, 0];distance=norm(left-right)

Conditions: none

Use the same named norm on the same coordinate space and retain the difference direction.This does not assert every metric is norm-induced,or add completeness or inner-product claims.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: fixed_norm_induced_distance_scope · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

induced distance:coordinate=0;signed value=-14

After

absolute value=14

Conditions: none

Take the absolute value of each entire coordinate.Negative coordinates are not summed or maximized as signed values;retain the original signed vector.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: named_norm_each_coordinate_absolute_value · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

induced distance:coordinate=1;signed value=-4

After

absolute value=4

Conditions: none

Take the absolute value of each entire coordinate.Negative coordinates are not summed or maximized as signed values;retain the original signed vector.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: named_norm_each_coordinate_absolute_value · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · implies

Before

induced distance:coordinate=2;signed value=0

After

absolute value=0

Conditions: none

Take the absolute value of each entire coordinate.Negative coordinates are not summed or maximized as signed values;retain the original signed vector.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: named_norm_each_coordinate_absolute_value · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · implies

Before

induced distance:all coordinate absolute values=[14, 4, 0]

After

maximum=14;attained coordinate=0

Conditions: none

In a nonempty finite list,the maximum bounds every value and is attained at a listed coordinate.It is not the largest signed coordinate.

Result

(linfinity, [-7, 2, -1], [7, 6, -1], [-14, -4, 0], 14)

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