Original question and givens

Use only the explicitly supplied finite list p_n=2/(n+6) for n=0 through prefix_length-1, with prefix_length=12. Every listed entry must be in [0,1]. The formula describes these finitely specified entries only: no continuation beyond this finite prefix, infinite-process construction or full forall-epsilon tail premise is supplied. Keep exact reduced rational outputs with positive denominators, omitting /1 for integers. Give (numerator,shift,prefix_length,probability_values,sufficient?,finite_prefix_not_convergence_certificate).

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

positive profile parameters c=2;s=6;raw fraction=c/(n+s)

After

nonnegative valid probability indices start at=0;only there0<profile<=1

Conditions: none

A positive denominator and value≤1 require n+s≥c.Keep the original index;do not clip values above1 or silently shift them.This checks arithmetic domain only.The infinite-process/common-space interpretation remains declared,and the prefix-only family gains no infinite continuation premise.
