Line Series Share An Anchor

Series Rejects a Wrong Anchor

A candidate that misses the shared anchor is rejected. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

A candidate is checked against the series anchor

The candidate transition uses middle and top, so it does not share ground.

The accepted bit records the failed membership test

The computed accepted bit is 0.
