Question 26273: A Global Contraction Needs Every Metric and Mapping Qualification

Original question and givens

Use the complete exact metric matrix=[[0, 23, 69], [23, 0, 46], [69, 46, 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).
