AlternatingConvergentIdentity(a,b,u,U,v,V,E,F)

Adjacent determinant ±1 with the two correctly alternating natural error balances. It is derived from the actual quotient computation.

Definition in prerequisite notation

u · V + 1 = U · v ∧ (a · v = b · u + E ∧ b · U = a · V + F) ∨ U · v + 1 = u · V ∧ (b · u = a · v + E ∧ a · V = b · U + F)

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

Hygienic expanded first-order definition
(((u * V + 1 = U * v) /\ ((a * v = b * u + E) /\ (b * U = a * V + F)))) \/ (((U * v + 1 = u * V) /\ ((b * u = a * v + E) /\ (a * V = b * U + F))))

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