Binary-interchange conversion proofs #
Every configured and static-byte carrier adapter shares these conversion equations and numerical contract. For default IEEE finite rounding, the nearest-value clause follows from the real rounding bridge and the generic nearest-point theorem. Complete outcome equality retains all word, status, and policy guarantees.
The context changes only a possible zero sign, never the exact rational sum.
The context changes only a possible zero sign, never the exact rational difference.
The default context uses the ordinary nearest-even sign rule of SignedRat.
Default-context subtraction retains the ordinary SignedRat semantics.
Downward exact cancellation uses the disjunction of the operand signs.
Finite observations use the exact rational binary quantizer.
Infinity observations are governed only by the explicit infinity policy.
Exceptional observations are governed only by the explicit exceptional policy.
The canonical IEEE rational rounder selects a nearest finite value whenever its result is finite.
This includes signed zero. The independent real grid has no infinity, so nonfinite results are
covered by the complete outcome clause of specWith.
Descriptor rounding semantics establish the nearest clause for every carrier adapter.
The additional semantic clause preserves exactly the original complete conversion outcomes.
Rejecting infinity produces the corresponding explicit failure for every carrier.
Rejecting an exceptional observation preserves its complete common classification.
