Discrete total variation · case 03
Net displacement cancels intermediate variation.
Case contract
Integer sample values and compatible sample-array lengths. Rational results are reduced Fraction strings; spacing is positive unless explicitly stated otherwise. Discrete total variation. Exact operational definition: sum(abs(b-a) for a,b in zip(values,values[1:]))
Why this case matters
Small exact fixtures expose this error without platform timing, external services, or probabilistic observations. Discrete calculus results depend on the stated convention.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| fixture 1: ([0, 2, 0],) | 0 | 4 | Failed |
