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 boundary mode=degenerate_interval, a=9, b=9, scale=10, offset=-9. degenerate_interval declares a≥b; jump_at_zero and cusp_at_zero declare a<0<b and nonzero scale, with the named interior defect. Give (mode, a, b, ordered_endpoints, secant_slope_or_null, theorem_applicability, boundary).


- G001 — Use boundary mode=degenerate_interval, a=9, b=9, scale=10, offset=-9. degenerate_interval declares a≥b; jump_at_zero and cusp_at_zero declare a<0<b and nonzero scale, with the named interior defect. Give (mode, a, b, ordered_endpoints, secant_slope_or_null, theorem_applicability, 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 · impliesBefore

source operation=mvt-failure-boundary;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[mode, a, b, ordered_endpoints, secant_slope_or_null, theorem_applicability, boundary]

Conditions: none

Retain the historical interface marker and list ordered source fields without JavaScript.MVT fields come from the original mode,without padding or answer-shape inference.Tags and fixed No markers retain their claim scope.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: source_ordered_interface_explicit_without_javascript · Uses: G001





S002 · impliesBefore

ORIGINAL mode=degenerate_interval,a=9,b=9,scale=10,offset=-9

After

ordered a<b=No;source secant value withheld=null;theorem applicability=No;keep ORIGINAL7-field layout even if reversed endpoints allow an arithmetic quotient

Conditions: none

This theorem declares a<b.Equal endpoints give denominator0;reversed endpoints fail its ordered-interval convention.Keep source null without swapping endpoints or padding to9 fields.This is a scope judgment,not a denial of other formulations.

## Reverse checks


- 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

(degenerate_interval, 9, 9, No, null, No, a_less_than_b_and_nonzero_secant_denominator_required)

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