At , the target is while the allowed raw response is . The scalar contact image at that row is already all of . The second nonzero row is independently spanned by . The blind row imposes no condition on either the target or the contact image.

This explains the finite rank: all columns lie in a two-dimensional row plane, and two original contacts span that plane. The proof does not require printing integers. Complete reconstruction and an original minor supply exact coverage and both rank bounds analytically.
