Original question and givens

Complete nonempty duplicate-free finite integer list elements=[25, -26, 88] in original list order. Give (elements,injection_pairs,injective?,finite_implies_at_most_countable). Each injection pair is [element,zero_based_position].

  • G001 — Complete nonempty duplicate-free finite integer list elements=[25, -26, 88] in original list order. Give (elements,injection_pairs,injective?,finite_implies_at_most_countable). Each injection pair is [element,zero_based_position].

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

DECLARED complete finite integer set in original list order=[25, -26, 88];length=3

After

nonempty duplicate-free registered family;original order retained;empty-set countability not denied

Conditions: none

Completeness is the declared set premise,not inferred for an unknown universe from samples.Keep order and reject duplicates rather than sorting or deduplicating.The family's empty-list rejection is an interface limit,not denial of empty-set countability.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: countable_complete_finite_list_premise_not_sampled_subset · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

original element=25;unique original position=0

After

injection pair element_to_position=[25, 0]

Conditions: none

Send each element to its unique zero-based position.Equal positions mean the same list entry,so this is injective into the naturals.The direction is element to position,opposite to enumeration.

Rule: finite_countability_injection_direction · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

original element=-26;unique original position=1

After

injection pair element_to_position=[-26, 1]

Conditions: none

Send each element to its unique zero-based position.Equal positions mean the same list entry,so this is injective into the naturals.The direction is element to position,opposite to enumeration.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_countability_injection_direction · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

original element=88;unique original position=2

After

injection pair element_to_position=[88, 2]

Conditions: none

Send each element to its unique zero-based position.Equal positions mean the same list entry,so this is injective into the naturals.The direction is element to position,opposite to enumeration.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_countability_injection_direction · Uses: G001, S003

Reverse checks

  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

([25, -26, 88], [[25, 0], [-26, 1], [88, 2]], Yes, finite_implies_at_most_countable)

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