Factoradic permutation unrank: within block rank · case 01

The exact factoradic permutation unrank result violates the stated contract at within block rank.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The within block rank step uses r//block instead of r%block.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Use r%block at the within block rank step.

Unsuccessful approach: The partial repair r-block still violates the within block rank invariant.

Case contract

Input [n,r], n<=7 and 0<=r<n!; return lexicographic permutation of 0..n-1 at rank r.

Why this case matters

Exact discrete arithmetic with observable algorithmic state; no floating point approximation is used.

Verification & scope

A deterministic bounded teaching model. Inputs are restricted to the explicit contract; this is not a production algebra library. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
