Query-By-Example: Operations on Piecewise Continuous Data

Summary: Extends QBE to operate on piecewise continuous functions, preserving a table-like view and pairing them with discrete relations. Adds iteration, creating a programming-language-like workflow, with formal well-formedness and correctness guarantees. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
