A readout shift becomes a classical bit by an exact threshold rule. 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 state shift moves the resonator index

The base index is 8 and the shift is 2, so the observed index is 10.

8+2=108+2=10

Above the threshold reads bright

The threshold is 9. Observed index 10 reads bright, so the result bit is 1.
