R0053-27408 · q-20261015-advance-20261118-r05-p-adic-valuation-integers-0083

Original question and givens

Use mode=equal_valuations_cancellation, base p=3, integer a=24. Give (mode, p, a, opposite_a, valuation_a, valuation_opposite_a, valuation_sum, cancellation_scope, universal_sum_equality_claim).

  • G001 — Use mode=equal_valuations_cancellation, base p=3, integer a=24. Give (mode, p, a, opposite_a, valuation_a, valuation_opposite_a, valuation_sum, cancellation_scope, universal_sum_equality_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 = [pval-boundary]

After

derived = [[mode, p, a, opposite_a, valuation_a, valuation_opposite_a, valuation_sum, cancellation_scope, universal_sum_equality_claim]]

Conditions: none

List the complete source field order and mode-specific roles without JavaScript or answer-shape inference;No,undefined and infinity retain their distinct meanings.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_fields_without_JS · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

Valuation boundary ORIGINAL a ORIGINAL division step1 := div(24, 3)

After

Valuation boundary ORIGINAL a ORIGINAL division step1 = 8

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly;no approximation,slot substitution or internally consistent changed operand.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

Valuation boundary ORIGINAL a dividing prime power1 := mul(1, 3)

After

Valuation boundary ORIGINAL a dividing prime power1 = 3

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly;no approximation,slot substitution or internally consistent changed operand.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

source roles = [Valuation boundary ORIGINAL a, 3, 24, 24, 1]

After

derived = [8, 3, 0, Yes]

Conditions: none

Divide only when the current unit is divisible by p.Each step preserves |a|=p^k*unit and strictly decreases the positive unit,so it terminates.Derived integers do not inherit the raw-input1e6 cap.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Valuation_EACH_division_source_remainder_and_factor_invariant · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

Valuation boundary ORIGINAL a terminal factorization product := mul(3, 8)

After

Valuation boundary ORIGINAL a terminal factorization product = 24

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly;no approximation,slot substitution or internally consistent changed operand.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

source roles = [Valuation boundary ORIGINAL a, 3, 24, 24, 1, 8, [3]]

After

derived = [24, 2, Yes, Yes]

Conditions: none

At termination p does not divide the unit,so p^(k+1) does not divide |a| and k is maximal.A sign does not affect divisibility;the factorization is for |a|,not negative a equalling a positive product.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Valuation_terminal_NONdivisible_unit_highest_power · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · calculation

Before

Valuation ORIGINAL opposite cancellation sum := sum(24, -24)

After

Valuation ORIGINAL opposite cancellation sum = 0

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly;no approximation,slot substitution or internally consistent changed operand.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · implies

Before

source roles = [Valuation boundary ACTUAL cancellation, 3, 0]

After

derived = [infinity, 0, 0, []]

Conditions: none

Zero is divisible by every power of p,so has no highest finite exponent.Use the single serializable infinity sentinel,not numeric0 or an undefined error.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Valuation_zero_SINGLE_infinity_convention · Uses: G001, S007

S009 · implies

Before

source roles = [3, 24, -24, 1]

After

derived = [1, infinity, No]

Conditions: none

v_p(-a)=v_p(a),while the opposite sum is0 with valuation infinity,strictly above finite k.Equal summand valuations therefore do not guarantee equality with their minimum.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Valuation_equal_values_cancellation_refutes_UNIVERSAL_equality · Uses: G001, S008

Reverse checks

  • S009 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,step operands and premises;finite checks,conditional named-theorem use and general formal proof remain distinct.
  • S008 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,step operands and premises;finite checks,conditional named-theorem use and general formal proof remain distinct.
  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Valuation ORIGINAL opposite cancellation sum with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,step operands and premises;finite checks,conditional named-theorem use and general formal proof remain distinct.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Valuation boundary ORIGINAL a terminal factorization product with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,step operands and premises;finite checks,conditional named-theorem use and general formal proof remain distinct.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Valuation boundary ORIGINAL a dividing prime power1 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Valuation boundary ORIGINAL a ORIGINAL division step1 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.

Result

(equal_valuations_cancellation, 3, 24, -24, 1, 1, infinity, strict_inequality_or_infinity_can_occur_when_valuations_equal, No)

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