Original question and givens

Use the same complete finite domain Fin(2)={0,…,1}, aligned limit=[4, 5], coefficients=[5, -6], 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. Observed prefix_length=5. Give (prefix_length, sufficient, boundary).

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 · implies

Before

source operation=uniform-finite-prefix-boundary;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[prefix_length, sufficient, boundary]

Conditions: none

Keep the historical interface marker in the original snapshot while listing the original ordered fields here.No JavaScript or external table is needed for the main text,and field labels are not mathematical evidence.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_interface_explicit_without_javascript · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

original complete domain Fin(2);aligned limit=[4, 5];signed coefficients=[5, -6];shift=2

After

for EVERY n>=0 and EVERY original point x,f_n(x)-limit[x]=coefficient[x]/(n+shift);same positive denominator on the whole domain

Conditions: none

Cancel the same limit[x] from the declared whole-sequence formula,not merely observed samples.Retain original point order;these coefficients and limits are not probabilities.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: uniform_declared_full_family_error_cancellation · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

finite inspected prefix length=5;SEPARATE explicit full family coefficients=[5, -6];shift=2

After

prefix-alone sufficiency=No;finite_prefix_not_uniform_convergence_certificate

Conditions: none

The No concerns evidence from the prefix alone,not failure of the separately declared whole-tail model.Uniform convergence needs one N for all points and every later n.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: uniform_prefix_no_not_denial_of_separate_full_tail · Uses: G001, S002

Reverse checks

  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(5, No, finite_prefix_not_uniform_convergence_certificate)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
