Original question and givens

Use the complete qualified finite metric table=[[0, 8, 12, 14], [8, 0, 12, 14], [12, 12, 0, 18], [14, 14, 18, 0]] on Fin(4)={0,…,3}, with at least two points for this minimum-positive-distance protocol. Completeness quantifies over every Cauchy sequence and requires a limit in this same space, not merely an ambient space. Testing finitely many sequences or terms is insufficient. The infinite sequence alternates forever between distinct left=1 and right=2, with arbitrary proposed cutoff N=27. Give [left,right,N,next_index,epsilon,distance,counterexample,cauchy] as a tuple. Choose next_index=N+1 and epsilon=d(left,right)>0. Retain the strict Cauchy condition on every pair of later terms.

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

carrier Fin(4);complete nonnegative integer metric candidate=[[0, 8, 12, 14], [8, 0, 12, 14], [12, 12, 0, 18], [14, 14, 18, 0]]

zero iff equal=Yes;symmetric=Yes

Conditions: none

First qualify nonnegativity,diagonal/off-diagonal separation and symmetry on the entire table,not only queried cells.At least two points is a premise of this minimum-positive-distance protocol,not a claim that a singleton is incomplete.

Completeness concerns only Cauchy sequences.A non-Cauchy sequence does not meet that premise.The final field uses the corrected source Cauchy label,not not_cauchy.
