Original question and givens
Use the same complete finite domain Fin(2)={0,…,1}, with aligned limit values=[8, 9], coefficients=[9, -10], positive shift=2, and f_n(x)=limit[x]+coefficients[x]/(n+shift) for every n≥0. Values and tail bounds are exact rationals. Pointwise witnesses may depend on both x and epsilon. A finite maximum of all pointwise witnesses gives a common witness only on this finite domain; it is not a general infinite-domain implication. A finite observed prefix alone is not a convergence certificate. Positive epsilon=1/18, point=0. Give (point,epsilon,N,error_at_N,strict_tail?,forall_n_ge_N), with error_at_N the absolute error bound.

Step-by-step derivation
S001 · implies
Before
same COMPLETE finite domain Fin(2);original aligned limits=[8, 9];signed coefficients=[9, -10];positive shift=2
After
declared for EVERY n>=0:f_n(x)=limit[x]+coefficient[x]/(n+shift);signed error=f_n(x)-limit[x]=coefficient[x]/(n+shift)
Conditions: none
The complete common finite domain and all-n formula are declared premises,not extrapolated from samples.Function values and errors are not probabilities;they may be signed or exceed1.Do not clip or shift indices.
