Changing the recovered fraction changes the final longitudinal row. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.
highlighted = computed this step
Recovery fraction multiplies the remaining gap
The start and equilibrium stay fixed; the scan changes only the recovered fraction of the remaining gap.
Mfinal=Mstart+f(M∞−Mstart)
Three fractions land at three exact final values
Every row recomputes the same gap before applying the pinned fraction.

The middle row is a half-gap recovery
The final display cites the same checked recovery row as the table.
