Original question and givens

Use order2 coefficients=[2, 3] oldest-to-newest, constant=1, known a_0=1, alternative a_1=2 or 3, target_n=7. Give (first_initial, second_left, second_right, left_prefix, right_prefix, prefixes_differ, one_initial_uniqueness_claim, boundary).

  • G001 — Use order2 coefficients=[2, 3] oldest-to-newest, constant=1, known a_0=1, alternative a_1=2 or 3, target_n=7. Give (first_initial, second_left, second_right, left_prefix, right_prefix, prefixes_differ, one_initial_uniqueness_claim, 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=recurrence-missing-initial-boundary;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[first_initial, second_left, second_right, left_prefix, right_prefix, prefixes_differ, one_initial_uniqueness_claim, boundary]

Conditions: none

Keep the historical interface marker and list ordered source fields without JavaScript.Tags are not additional evidence;fixed No markers retain their scope.The ordering helper supplies protocol order,not mathematical correctness.
