Use exact scales A=24,B=25, rational ratio r=4/11. Prefix a=[24, 25, 26], prefix b=[1, 2, 3], each with cutoff=3 terms. Starting at that index use A*(r)^(n−cutoff) and B*(r)^(n−cutoff), so the first tail exponent is0. Give (cutoff, prefix_sum_a, prefix_sum_b, tail_sum_a, tail_sum_b, total_sum_a, tail_convergence, certificate).
G001 — Use exact scales A=24,B=25, rational ratio r=4/11. Prefix a=[24, 25, 26], prefix b=[1, 2, 3], each with cutoff=3 terms. Starting at that index use A*(r)^(n−cutoff) and B*(r)^(n−cutoff), so the first tail exponent is0. Give (cutoff, prefix_sum_a, prefix_sum_b, tail_sum_a, tail_sum_b, total_sum_a, tail_convergence, certificate).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.
Before
source roles = [series-eventual-tail]
After
derived = [[cutoff, prefix_a_sum, prefix_b_sum, tail_a_sum, tail_b_sum, total_a, convergent, certificate]]
Conditions: none
List this operation/mode exact source field order without JavaScript.Keep Boolean,string and null roles distinct;do not pad fields or infer the interface from answer shape.
Rule: source_ordered_fields_without_JS · Uses: G001
Before
source roles = [24, 25, 4/11]
After
derived = [EVERY tail term is A*r^k and B*r^k for k>=0, r^0=1 including r=0, Yes]
Conditions: none
The whole tail law is given,with k starting at0.Nonnegative A<=B and r give termwise comparison;0<=r<1 licenses the geometric sum.At r=0 the first term still uses r^0=1.

After
derived = [75, 6, tail exponent n-cutoff starts at0]
Conditions: none
cutoff is the NUMBER of prefix terms.Prefixes are separately nonnegative but need not be ordered termwise or by sum.The tail starts at exponent0 when n=cutoff;empty prefixes are allowed.

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S011
Before
source roles = [24, 25, 4/11, 7/11]
After
derived = [264/7, 275/7, Yes]
Conditions: none
For the finite sum,multiplication by(1-r) telescopes to A(1-r^N);r^N tends to0,hence the tail sum A/(1-r),and similarly for B.The nonnegative a partial sums increase and are bounded by the convergent b sum.This is not a finite-sample replacement for all n.

Before
source roles = [3, 75, 6, 264/7, 275/7]
After
derived = [789/7, Yes]
Conditions: none
For sufficiently large N,the full partial sum is a fixed finite prefix plus a tail partial sum.Adding a fixed finite number preserves the limit,hence A converges.Compare tails only,not full-series totals,and impose no source numeric gate on an unused totalB.

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