Relativistic Velocity Addition Calculator 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 formula returns an undefined 0/0 result at u=1, v=-1 unless the input is rejected. It also produces a superluminal numerical result for an input just beyond the physical validity boundary, u=0.5 and v=1.001, contrary to the stated no-superluminal-result behavior unless validation rejects that input.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
