Question 26266: A Global Contraction Needs Every Metric and Mapping Qualification

Original question and givens

Use the complete exact metric matrix=[[0, 16, 48], [16, 0, 32], [48, 32, 0]], aligned mapping=[0, 0, 1] and q=1/2. Qualify nonnegativity, separation, symmetry and every triangle, the entire self-map and every ordered contraction pair. A finite metric space is complete. Give (point_count, self_map, q, q_in_range, pair_inequality_rows, global_contraction, 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.
