Two identical layers double the channel count. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Layer count multiplies cell count

There are 2 layers with 4 cells in each layer.

The detector exposes eight channels

The exact channel count is 8.
