A reaction may close charge and still fail another ledger. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Charge alone is not enough

The input scaled charge is 3 and the output scaled charge is also 3.

The baryon ledger rejects the reaction

The input scaled baryon number is 3 while the output scaled baryon number is 0.
