A fixed low occupancy lets the high-side signal set the contrast fraction. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.
highlighted = computed this step
High signal twelve leaves one sixth contrast
Low occupancy stays 1/2. High signal 12 gives occupancy 2/3 and contrast 1/6.
32−21=61
High signal eighteen gives one fourth contrast
High signal 18 gives occupancy 3/4 and contrast 1/4.
43−21=41
High signal thirty gives one third contrast
High signal 30 gives occupancy 5/6 and contrast 1/3. The model does not add receptor dynamics.
