Applying the minimum count to the observed length closes a bounded-domain gap
The revised proof applies the minimum count to the transformed length as well as its local reference.
· Recorded source version · Retrospective release
CHICAGO — The revised singularity argument requires both the local length reference and the observed length to satisfy the MQ count domain. A finite local length combined with a positive minimum observed length prevents their contraction factor from reaching zero within the admitted configurations.
Figure 1 summarizes the source result and its evidentiary scope.
The result and its scope
Length-count example
Local five · observed three
Motion/light counts
Four and five over the same interval
Assigned mass counts
Local three · observed five
The source gives a consistency example using motion and light counts of four and five. Local and observed length counts of five and three give a length factor of three fifths. Local and assigned observed mass counts of three and five have the reciprocal factor required by the same construction.
This example demonstrates a compatible assignment of count roles. It does not prove that every arbitrary set of count values satisfies the transformation conditions. The upper domain restriction must also be checked for each assigned physical measure.
The October revision makes the location of the lower-bound premise explicit. Requiring only a minimum local reference would leave the transformed quantity uncontrolled. The result is a conditional mathematical improvement to the admissibility argument, rather than an experiment showing that a moving physical ruler reaches a three-count length.
