A pulse label means nothing unless it is tied to a checked state map. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

A named pulse has a reviewed map

The flip pulse is not a free label. It maps \lvert 0\rangle to \lvert 1\rangle through the checked gate box.

flip(0)=1\text{flip}(\lvert 0\rangle)=\lvert 1\rangle

The reviewed map covers both basis inputs

The same pulse table is checked row by row, so a later page can reuse the name without changing its meaning.

No pulse area is inferred

Only the reviewed pulse name is modeled here. No decimal pulse area or device curve is part of the claim.
