Original question and givens

Use mode=zero_reference, complete model={"approximation":1}. Give (mode, approximation, reference_description, relative_error_status, relative_error_defined_claim).

  • G001 — Use mode=zero_reference, complete model={"approximation":1}. Give (mode, approximation, reference_description, relative_error_status, relative_error_defined_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 = [qf-mod50-numerr-boundary, [domain, mode, model, operation]]

After

derived = [numerr-boundary, Exact_numerical_error_density]

Conditions: none

THIS source uses LOCAL-hyphen operations with exact keys/domain.Keep source field order and numeric/Boolean/string roles;integer rational texts omit/1.Original questions,English,MKOs,ASTs and statuses remain unchanged.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R66_EXACT_source_bank_keys_local_operation_domain · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [zero reference ORIGINAL approximation, 100000000, 1, 1]

After

derived = [[1, 1], 1]

Conditions: none

Bound the SOURCE PRE-reduction numerator/denominator and require a nonzero denominator BEFORE sign/gcd normalization.MOD50 uses100million with NAIVE operations,not prior cross-cancellation;this Wave4 mean uses one million.Out-of-envelope is a source-slice hold,not mathematical falsity.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R66_SOURCE_PREreduction_components_then_sign_gcd · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

zero reference ORIGINAL approximation ORIGINAL numerator over denominator := div(1, 1)

After

zero reference ORIGINAL approximation ORIGINAL numerator over denominator = 1

Conditions: none

Calculate exactly from THIS step’s ORIGINAL ordered operands.Retain the SOURCE rational pre-reduction envelope separately;do not use floating values or silently widen a different bank.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

source roles = [1, reference=0]

After

derived = [relative_error=undefined, No]

Conditions: none

Relative error divides by |reference|=0 and is undefined even if the approximation is0.Never repair0/0 as0.Absolute error can be separately defined but does not repair relative division.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Error_ZERO_reference_relative_error_UNDEFINED_not_zero · Uses: G001, S003

Reverse checks

  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-audit THIS step against its ORIGINAL ordered roles and complete premises.Accept the conclusion only under these conditions;do not invert a one-way implication or call a finite check a general formal proof.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute zero reference ORIGINAL approximation ORIGINAL numerator over denominator with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-audit THIS step against its ORIGINAL ordered roles and complete premises.Accept the conclusion only under these conditions;do not invert a one-way implication or call a finite check a general formal proof.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-audit THIS step against its ORIGINAL ordered roles and complete premises.Accept the conclusion only under these conditions;do not invert a one-way implication or call a finite check a general formal proof.

Result

(zero_reference, 1, reference=0, relative_error=undefined, No)

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