Exact policy-aware numerical systems #
The adapter interprets every finite FP8, FP6, FP4, FNUZ, or IEEE code as an exact dyadic. It uses
the complete FloatFormat, so an all-ones exponent can mean infinity, a finite value, or part of a
NaN encoding according to the selected representation policy. A NaN is denoted by its diagnostic
payload without the quiet bit, sign bit, and signaling class, as in the real-valued
numericalSystem. ExactValue.nan separately retains the complete encoded fraction field.
Exact numerical-system semantics for a policy-aware binary format.
Finite codes denote their exact dyadic value, infinities carry their sign, and a NaN carries its diagnostic payload without its quiet bit, together with its sign bit and signaling class.
Instances For
A policy-aware binary word with an erased proof of its exact finite dyadic value.
Instances For
Exact decoding is precisely finite representation in the general interface.
A represented finite value is exactly the result of decoding its code.
Successful finite decoding establishes representation in the general interface.
Non-IEEE binary encodings never denote infinity in the general interface.
