Eventual acceptance of converging posit enclosures #
Every comparison in posit rounding has a rational boundary. Consequently the rounded code is locally constant at an irrational target, and converging rational endpoints eventually agree. The result separates two mathematical obligations: the enclosure algorithm converges, and its target avoids the exact boundaries. A function-specific irrationality theorem or exact-case handler is still needed before this gives a total elementary operation.
The finite lower-code search is locally constant at every irrational target.
Standard posit rounding is locally constant at every irrational real target.
Converging rational endpoints eventually certify the posit rounding of an irrational target.
Containment is not required for this eventual statement: convergence puts both endpoints in a neighborhood on which rounding is constant. Containment separately certifies every accepted result, including any accepted before that neighborhood is reached.
An irrational exponential target is eventually resolved by the rational Taylor enclosures.
