Deterministic calculation and uncertainty workflow

Sign-boundary distance workflow

Quantify whether rounding or upstream uncertainty can change a derived sign label.

Required inputs

Unrounded frame-specific longitude

Angular uncertainty

30° sign partition

Precision policy

Ordered execution

Work the protocol

  1. 1

    Normalize the longitude.

  2. 2

    Compute position within its 30° interval.

  3. 3

    Measure the nearest boundary distance.

  4. 4

    Compare distance with total uncertainty.

  5. 5

    Mark the label stable or unstable.

Outputs

  • Nearest-boundary distance
  • Stability flag
  • Calculation receipt

Done only when

  • Distance recomputes.
  • Stability uses retained precision.
  • Unstable labels remain explicitly unstable.

Fail closed

Refusal conditions

  • Only a rounded sign label is available.
  • Uncertainty is omitted.
  • A boundary crossing is forced to one side.

Recomputable fixture

Calculation receipt

The output and digest are derived from the displayed inputs. The fixture demonstrates the operation, not an astrological prediction.

Uncertainty: The fixture reports geometric distance only; classification needs a separately supplied total angular uncertainty.
