Original question and givens

Boundary mode=divergent_upper, positive scale=22. Give (mode, series_a_description, series_b_description, term_comparison, actual_series_status, divergence_inference_claim).

  • G001 — Boundary mode=divergent_upper, positive scale=22. Give (mode, series_a_description, series_b_description, term_comparison, actual_series_status, divergence_inference_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 · implies

Before

source roles = [series-comparison-boundary]

After

derived = [[mode, term_a, term_b, comparison, reference_status, 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 dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_fields_without_JS · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [divergent_upper, 22]

After

derived = [divergent_upper, a_n=22/n^2, b_n=22/n, a_n<=b_n, b_diverges_but_a_converges, 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.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Series_original_comparison_boundary_scope_and_direction · Uses: G001, S001

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

(divergent_upper, a_n=22/n^2, b_n=22/n, a_n<=b_n, b_diverges_but_a_converges, No)

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