Mathematical operations are computed deterministically using 64-bit IEEE 754 precision. Residuals reflect ordinary least-squares regression across successive observations.

Numerical assumptions and limits

Monte Carlo convergence O(N^{-1/2}) is slow: reducing error by a factor of 10 requires a 100-fold increase in sample count N. The simulation evaluates 5-dimensional Monte Carlo integration across sample counts N = 1000 · 4^{k-1}. The standardized error metric scales linearly with step index k, confirming the theoretical Central Limit exponent α = 0.500 with R² = 1.000000.
