Original question and givens

Use one named, certified norm on a fixed real coordinate space: l1(v)=sum_i |v_i| or linfinity(v)=max_i |v_i|. Set d(x,y)=norm(x−y) on that same space. Its universal norm-axiom certificate establishes the metric axioms; finite distance samples do not. Do not infer that every metric comes from a norm, or claim completeness, compactness or an inner product. norm_name=linfinity, left=[3, -2, -4], right=[-3, 4, 1]. Give (norm_name,left,right,left−right,distance).

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.
