A plane-family spacing is a checked geometry ledger. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Miller indices define the training family

The family is indexed by 2, 2, and 1. The squared denominator is 9.

The plane spacing is forced by geometry

With lattice constant 12 m, the exact spacing is 4 m. This is schematic indexing, not structure refinement.
