Reciprocal-map dots are useful only when their indices are bound. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Reciprocal spots sit on integer coordinates

The checked spots are at index pairs 1,0; 0,2; and 2,1.

(h,k){(1,0),(0,2),(2,1)}(h,k)\in\{(1,0),(0,2),(2,1)\}

The spacing and spot map share the same check

The spacing claim remains 2 metres while the spot count is 3.
