A Sensor Series Carries More Evidence Than One Reading

This bridge assumes you already know Java arrays and indexing.

Use the series:

0.41, 0.42, 3.70, 0.40

The bridge task is to preserve evidence while reasoning about the series.

Do not discard the outlier because it makes the average inconvenient. Record original order, accepted/rejected status, and the rule used for classification.

A local Java array is not a ROS topic history. A ROS topic type is not proof that the array came from that topic.

Checkpoint

Create a table with index, value, classification, and reason. Mark the outlier without deleting it. Then state what additional runtime evidence would be required to connect the local series to ROS 2.
