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 same complete finite domain Fin(2)={0,…,1}, aligned limit=[10, 11], coefficients=[11, -12], positive shift=2, and f_n(x)=limit[x]+coefficients[x]/(n+shift) for every n≥0. Uniform convergence requires one N(epsilon) for every point and every n≥N. The finite maximum of pointwise witnesses works here because the domain is finite; do not extend that argument to arbitrary infinite domains. A finite observed prefix alone does not prove uniform convergence. Positive epsilon=1/20. Give (epsilon, pointwise_witnesses, N, same_N_for_all_points, certificate).

Take the maximum over the complete finite domain,so the same N is independent of x.If N>0,an attaining point also defeats every smaller common cutoff.This controls both quantifiers,not one point or one n.Pointwise cutoffs on an infinite domain need not share a finite bound.
