The three single-carrier flips make the syndrome table visible as exact rows. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Left-carrier flip gives syndrome ten

A flip at index 0 changes the word to 011. The syndrome is 10 and the correction index is 0.

Middle flip makes both parity checks fire

A flip at index 1 changes the word to 101. Syndrome 11 maps to correction index 1.

s=11c=1s=11\quad c=1

Right-carrier flip gives syndrome one

A flip at index 2 changes the word to 110. Syndrome 01 maps to correction index 2.
