Graph Plotter — 2D Function implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Effect

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

The pole input x=1 for 1/(x-1) necessarily produces an undefined result, so any finite plotted value or intercept at that coordinate is a failure. The trigonometric probe also exposes a convention-dependent graph: sin(90) is approximately 0.8939966636 in radians but exactly 1 in degrees.
