Question 16937: Read Dimension from a Previously Qualified Basis

Original question and givens

Use the complete ordered real coordinate family vectors=[[1, 0], [11, 1]] in ambient R^2, limited to dimensions 2 or 3. Treat vectors as columns and calculate rank by exact rational Gaussian elimination, not floating-point samples. A basis is both independent and spanning. An independent family gives only a lower bound; a spanning family gives only an upper bound. Basis-cardinality invariance uses the finite-dimensional theorem, not a few examples. Require this complete family to be an actual basis. Give (ambient_dimension,basis_count,rank,dimension,finite_dimensional_basis_cardinality_invariance_theorem).
