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.

## Original question and givens

Use mode=discrete_two_point, positive exact scale=18, and the declared example description in the result. Give (mode, scale, example_description, scope_or_obstruction, path_connectedness_inference_claim).


- G001 — Use mode=discrete_two_point, positive exact scale=18, and the declared example description in the result. Give (mode, scale, example_description, scope_or_obstruction, path_connectedness_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 · impliesBefore

source roles = [path-connected-boundary]

After

derived = [[mode, scale, space_or_samples, scope, path_claim]]

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 = [discrete_two_point, 18]

After

derived = [discrete_two_point, 18, X={0,18}_with_discrete_topology, continuous_image_of_connected_[0,1]_cannot_meet_both_points, No]

Conditions: none

A real path crossing the gap must hit a missing value by IVT;a connected image cannot meet both points of a discrete two-point space.Three samples do not define a full path or rule out interpolation.The sine-curve branch retains the named source scope,not a newly constructed or formally verified infinite witness.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: Path_original_boundary_scope_NO_invented_full_infinite_witness · 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

(discrete_two_point, 18, X={0,18}_with_discrete_topology, continuous_image_of_connected_[0,1]_cannot_meet_both_points, No)

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