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 outer index k(i)=1+5i and inner index l(j)=3+2j, with nonnegative starts and positive steps. Evaluate j=20. Give (j, inner_index, source_index, composed_step, strictly_increasing, certificate).


- G001 — Use outer index k(i)=1+5i and inner index l(j)=3+2j, with nonnegative starts and positive steps. Evaluate j=20. Give (j, inner_index, source_index, composed_step, strictly_increasing, certificate).





## 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 · impliesBefore

source operation=subseq-composed-index;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[j, inner_index, source_index, composed_step, strictly_increasing, certificate]

Conditions: none

Retain the historical interface marker in the original snapshot while listing ordered source fields here,without JavaScript or external lookup.Field labels are not additional mathematical evidence,and No retains the source claim scope.

S002 · impliesBefore

outer index k:ORIGINAL nonnegative start=1;positive integer step=5;F(q)=start+step*q for EVERY natural q>=0

After

F(q)>=start>=0 and for ANY q<r,F(r)-F(q)=(5)*(r-q)>0;strictly increasing on ALL naturals,not just the evaluated prefix

Conditions: none

A positive integer step preserves the order of every pair of natural indices,not merely injectivity or an arbitrary reordering.This universal mathematical law is not truncated by an evaluated-output safety range and says nothing about monotonicity of source values.

Conditions: none

A positive integer step preserves the order of every pair of natural indices,not merely injectivity or an arbitrary reordering.This universal mathematical law is not truncated by an evaluated-output safety range and says nothing about monotonicity of source values.

After

outer(inner(j))=216;for EVERY j,composed consecutive difference=10>0;exact evaluated fields within SAFE integer range

Conditions: none

Apply inner to j first,then feed that index into outer,not the reverse.The composed difference is the product of positive steps for every natural j.The SAFE check concerns explicitly evaluated numeric fields,not the mathematical domain of the infinite index law.
