RationalApproximationError(a,b,rp,rn,t,E)

The exact cross-product error |a·t−b·(rp−rn)| for an arbitrary signed numerator. This is not an approximation inequality.

Conservative notation; not a theorem, primitive, or axiom.

NaturalAbsDifference(a · t + b · rn,b · rp,E)

Only definitions earlier in this acyclic notation graph are used here.

Hygienic expanded first-order definition
(((a) * (t) + (b) * (rn)) = ((b) * (rp)) + (E)) \/ (((b) * (rp)) = ((a) * (t) + (b) * (rn)) + (E))

The unchanged native kernel never receives this surface symbol. Binder-safe expansion produces only its existing first-order syntax.
