Original question and givens

Use the complete normalized finite law masses=[1/15, 2/15, 12/15, 0/1], aligned values X=[5, 6, 8, 104] and complete disjoint partition=[[0, 1], [2, 3]] covering every atom. Values are integrable in this finite model. Cell order and atom order are retained; independence is not required. Conditional quotients require strictly positive cell mass. Give (conditional_values, tower_expectation, mean, equal, certificate).
