Original question and givens

Use coordinate bounds lower=[-10, -11, -12, -13],upper=[11, 12, 13, 14], start=[-9, -10, -11, -12],end=[10, 11, 12, 13]. Give (lower, upper, start, end, coordinate_formulas, range_certificate, certificate).

G001 — Use coordinate bounds lower=[-10, -11, -12, -13],upper=[11, 12, 13, 14], start=[-9, -10, -11, -12],end=[10, 11, 12, 13]. Give (lower, upper, start, end, coordinate_formulas, range_certificate, certificate).

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 = [path-box-linear]

After

derived = [[lower, upper, start, end, formulas, continuous_path, 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.

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [[-10, -11, -12, -13], [11, 12, 13, 14], [-9, -10, -11, -12], [10, 11, 12, 13]]

After

derived = [4, Yes]

Conditions: none

Check both endpoints against each coordinate interval with matching dimensions.Degenerate coordinates and reverse orientation are allowed.
