This teaching derivation has second-context AI mathematical and bilingual semantic review, limited to the model and assumptions stated in this question. It has no human review or new Lean proof and does not promote the original question or MKO to Canonical truth.

## Original question and givens

Use the complete prime field Z_2, with prime p=2, residue labels 0 through p−1, and addition/multiplication modulo p. Nonzero inputs alone may be inverted; division by zero is never allowed. This prime-field family does not assert that every finite field has prime order or that every finite ring is a field. element=0, possibly zero. Give (element,p,power,equal?,Frobenius_on_prime_field), with power=element^p modulo p.

## 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 · impliesBefore

source roles = [qf-mod31-fielddeep-frobenius, [domain, element, operation, p]]

After

derived = [fielddeep-frobenius, Exact_prime_field_Zp]

Conditions: none

THIS source uses LOCAL-hyphen operations with exact keys/domain.Keep source field order and numeric/Boolean/string roles;integer rational texts omit/1.Original questions,English,MKOs,ASTs and statuses remain unchanged.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: R66_EXACT_source_bank_keys_local_operation_domain · Uses: G001





S002 · impliesBefore

source roles = [2, []]

After

derived = [[], Yes]

Conditions: none

Trial EVERY divisor2 through floor(sqrt(p));a composite would have a factor there.The empty test for p=2 is valid.This qualifies THIS prime field Z_p,not every finite field’s order or every finite ring as a field.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: Field_PRIME_complete_trial_divisor_qualification · Uses: G001, S001





S003 · calculationBefore

Field ORIGINAL previous power times element k=1 := mul(1, 0)

After

Field ORIGINAL previous power times element k=1 = 0

Conditions: none

Calculate exactly from THIS step’s ORIGINAL ordered operands.Retain the SOURCE rational pre-reduction envelope separately;do not use floating values or silently widen a different bank.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002





S004 · impliesBefore

source roles = [power exponent1, 0, 2]

After

derived = [0, 0]

Conditions: none

Use integer Euclidean division: value=n*quotient+remainder with0≤remainder<n.Normalize negative representatives too;do not use floating remainders.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: Finite_MOD_euclidean_quotient_remainder · Uses: G001, S003





S005 · calculationBefore

Field ORIGINAL previous power times element k=2 := mul(0, 0)

After

Field ORIGINAL previous power times element k=2 = 0

Conditions: none

Calculate exactly from THIS step’s ORIGINAL ordered operands.Retain the SOURCE rational pre-reduction envelope separately;do not use floating values or silently widen a different bank.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004





S006 · impliesBefore

source roles = [power exponent2, 0, 2]

After

derived = [0, 0]

Conditions: none

Use integer Euclidean division: value=n*quotient+remainder with0≤remainder<n.Normalize negative representatives too;do not use floating remainders.

S007 · impliesBefore

source roles = [2, 0, [0, 0]]

After

derived = [0, Yes]

Conditions: none

Repeated multiplication checks element^p=element in THIS prime field,including zero.Frobenius need not fix every element of an arbitrary extension field;do not widen the conclusion.
