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.

R0052-26907 · q-20261015-advance-20261117-r01-series-comparison-test-0082



## Original question and givens

Boundary mode=signed_terms, positive scale=7. Give (mode, series_description, failed_hypothesis, comparison_test_claim).


- G001 — Boundary mode=signed_terms, positive scale=7. Give (mode, series_description, failed_hypothesis, comparison_test_claim).





## 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 roles = [series-comparison-boundary]

After

derived = [[mode, term_a, failed_hypothesis, inference]]

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.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: source_ordered_fields_without_JS · Uses: G001





S002 · impliesBefore

source roles = [signed_terms, 7]

After

derived = [signed_terms, a_n=(-1)^n*7/n, nonnegative_hypothesis_fails, No]

Conditions: none

finite_sample is a scope statement,not a complete infinite witness.A divergent upper series cannot force a smaller one to diverge,e.g.1/n²<=1/n.Signed terms fail nonnegativity and unknown_reference lacks the reference status.No rejects this inference,not every underlying convergence claim.

## Reverse checks


- S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,types,field order and premises;finite audits are not formal proofs of infinite theorems.
- S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,types,field order and premises;finite audits are not formal proofs of infinite theorems.





## Result

(signed_terms, a_n=(-1)^n*7/n, nonnegative_hypothesis_fails, No)

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