Use the complete ordered real coordinate family vectors=[[1, 0], [0, 1], [24, 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. Give (vector_count,rank,spanning?,upper_bound). The last field is dimension_at_most_vector_count with the numeric count, or no_upper_bound_from_nonspanning_family.

Step-by-step derivation
S001 · implies
Before
same usual real ambient R^2;original ORDERED vectors as columns=[[1, 0], [0, 1], [24, 1]]
After
complete row-coordinate matrix=[[1, 0, 24], [0, 1, 1]];vector count=3;zero/repeated vectors retained
Conditions: none
Columns are the original vectors and rows their coordinates.Zero and repeated vectors are allowed,so semantic-template deduplication cannot replace the original family or its count.Exact rational row operations are invertible coordinate changes over the reals.

S010 · implies
Before
original column family count=3;ambient dimension=2;final exact matrix=[[1, 0, 24], [0, 1, 1]];pivot columns=[0, 1]
After
rank=2;independent=No;spans whole ambient=Yes;basis=No
Conditions: none
Invertible row operations preserve all real solutions of M*c=0.The pivot count is real rank,and independence requires rank equal to column count.Left multiplication by invertible E maps the original column span to its E-image,preserving dimension and whole-ambient spanning status,not literal equality of the two spans.Spanning requires rank=n;both conditions are needed for a basis.

Before
supplied original vector count=3;exact rank=2;whole-ambient spanning=Yes
After
this family's upper-bound certificate=dimension_at_most_3
Conditions: none
A finite spanning family can be pruned to a basis,so dimension≤m;the bound can be loose.If it does not span,this family supplies no such certificate,not proof of infinite ambient dimension.Do not silently replace the original m by a tighter answer.
