Three candidate transitions show that series membership follows the shared anchor.

Three candidate transitions show that series membership follows the shared anchor. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Candidate anchor check

The series anchor is ground. Candidate ground to middle has gap 4 joules and accepted bit 1.
