## Original question and givens

Use indexed parameter slots Fin(2)={0,…,1}, complete exact rational law rows=[[1/22, 2/22, 3/22, 16/22], [2/26, 3/26, 4/26, 17/26]], and one parameter-independent total statistic T=[0, 1, 14, 15] in common outcome order. Every row is nonnegative and sums to1. The aligned parameter values are theta_values=[1/2, 13/15], and the target is g(theta)=theta. Keep all expectations and moments under the same selected law; zero-mass outcomes remain in the table but do not enlarge its positive-mass support. Selected parameter index=0, supplied outcome=0. Give (parameter_index, outcome, estimate, bias, observed_value_suffices_for_property_claims, boundary).

After

T takes only the observation index,not the unknown parameter;SAME function at all parameter slots;its sampling law may still vary with the slot

Conditions: none

Functional parameter-independence is different from a parameter-free distribution of T(X).Use the same original statistic value at every outcome rather than changing T between laws.

Keep target values separate from parameter indices;theta values need not be distinct.No unprovided continuous parameter space,prior or sequence of statistics is supplied,so a universal claim within this finite model is not extended beyond it.
