Original question and givens

Use one complete finite atomic probability space with aligned exact nonnegative masses=[1/2, 1/2, 0/1], summing to 1, and supplied full-tail settling_indices=[13, 14, null]. An integer N declares equality to the common limit from that index onward on this atom; null denotes a model-declared nonconvergent atom, not merely a missing file or unchecked proof receipt. Every positive-mass atom must converge; a zero-mass failure is ignored only for the almost-sure claim. Keep exact reduced rational text, omitting /1 for integers. A finite observed prefix alone is not this universal-tail certificate. Give (positive_mass_rows,maximum_settling_index,almost_sure?,certificate). The certificate is uniform_finite_atom_tail_after_maximum or positive_mass_nonconvergent_atom.

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 · calculation

Before

almost-sure full probability mass := sum(1/2, 1/2, 0)

After

almost-sure full probability mass = 1

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original field roles and established intermediates,retaining denominators,signs,indices and the complete carrier.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

same complete finite atomic space;raw masses=[[1, 2], [1, 2], [0, 1]];raw settling declarations=[13, 14, null]

After

normalized nonnegative masses=[1/2, 1/2, 0];total=1;integer N means equality to common limit at EVERY later index;null means model-declared nonconvergence

Conditions: none

Fix the same probability space and aligned atoms.An integer N declares equality on the entire later tail;null is model-declared nonconvergence,not an unchecked or missing receipt.These universal declarations cannot be manufactured from a finite observation.

S003 · implies

Before

original atom=0;exact mass=1/2;full-tail declaration=13

After

atom row=[0, 1/2, 13, Yes, Yes]

Conditions: none

Every positive-mass atom must have its convergent-tail declaration.A zero-mass failure may be ignored only for an almost-sure claim.Keep every atom's original order,mass and declaration;do not delete null atoms and pretend the statement holds everywhere.

Before

After

atom row=[1, 1/2, 14, Yes, Yes]

Conditions: none

Every positive-mass atom must have its convergent-tail declaration.A zero-mass failure may be ignored only for an almost-sure claim.Keep every atom's original order,mass and declaration;do not delete null atoms and pretend the statement holds everywhere.

Before

original atom=2;exact mass=0;full-tail declaration=null

After

atom row=[2, 0, null, No, Yes]

Conditions: none

Every positive-mass atom must have its convergent-tail declaration.A zero-mass failure may be ignored only for an almost-sure claim.Keep every atom's original order,mass and declaration;do not delete null atoms and pretend the statement holds everywhere.

S006 · calculation

Before

almost-sure declared nonconvergent exceptional mass := sum(0)

After

almost-sure declared nonconvergent exceptional mass = 0

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original field roles and established intermediates,retaining denominators,signs,indices and the complete carrier.

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · implies

Before

all model-declared nonconvergent atom indices=[2];their total mass=0

After

positive-mass failures=[];almost-sure qualification=Yes

Conditions: none

On this complete finite atomic space,the bad set has mass0 exactly when it contains no positive-mass atom.That gives probability1 without changing actual nonconvergence on a null atom.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: asconv_probability_one_not_every_outcome · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · implies

Before

positive-mass rows only=[[0, 1/2, 13, Yes, Yes], [1, 1/2, 14, Yes, Yes]];positive failures=[]

After

maximum settling index=14;certificate=uniform_finite_atom_tail_after_maximum

Conditions: none

When every positive atom has an integer cutoff,take the maximum of finitely many cutoffs.All positive atoms then equal the common limit together.Null-atom cutoffs are irrelevant.If a positive atom is declared nonconvergent,return null rather than invent a finite bound.This finite maximum is not a theorem about arbitrary infinite atomic spaces.
