Original question and givens

Give (mode, candidate_topology, final_topology, q_continuous, properly_coarser, final_topology_identification_claim, boundary).

  • G001 — Use mode=coarser_target and complete model={"x_points":[0,1,2,3,4,5],"x_topology":[[],[0,1,2,3,4,5],[0,1,2,5]],"y_points":["a","b"],"q_map":["a","a","a","b","b","a"],"candidate_topology":[[],["a","b"]]}.

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 = [quotient-topology-boundary]

After

derived = [[mode, candidate_topology, final_topology, q_continuous, proper, final_identification, 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.

Conditions: none

Retain JSON types and English source ordering of sets and open families.Check union/intersection for every open pair and empty/full sets;in a finite family binary closure gives arbitrary-union closure,not sampled qualification.

Conditions: none

Bind q to the ORIGINAL X order before sorting and compute the full fiber of every typed Y point.Totality gives exactly one fiber per x;surjectivity additionally makes every fiber nonempty.

Conditions: none

For every subset of Y use openness of its full X preimage as an IFF.Preimages preserve empty/full sets,arbitrary unions and finite intersections,hence define a topology.The IFF uniquely determines each subset status even without surjectivity.

Conditions: none

Audit A=q^-1(q(A)) for every source open in original canonical order.Only saturated opens are full unions of fibers.For surjective q,preimage is injective on Y subsets and gives the correspondence;not every source open is a quotient open.

q remains continuous into the strictly coarser topology,but at least one final open is omitted.Continuity alone is necessary,not enough to identify the final topology.

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