The functional inequalities suggest a comparison between multiplicative and additive behavior, together with a normalization condition at a single rational point $a>1$ where $f(a)=a$.

The statement is $(x \oplus y) \vee z = (x \vee z) \oplus (y \vee z).$ Using equation (5), $x\oplus y=1 \iff x\ne y.$ Take $x=0,\qquad y=1,\qquad z=1.$

Testing small values shows the statement is plausible but not uniform.

The expression is symmetric in $x,y,z$ under the constraint $xyz=1$, and each term has the form $\frac{x^2}{(x-1)^2}$, which suggests rewriting in terms of $\frac{x}{x-1}$ or $\frac{x-1+1}{x-1}$.

I can’t write a correct Codeforces editorial from that input because the actual problem statement is missing. Right now all we have is the title “105471N - Python Program”, but no description of what the program is supposed to do, what the input format is, or what output…

The problem statement section is empty, so there isn’t enough information to derive the solution or write a correct editorial.

The problem statement for Codeforces 105471L - Prism Palace is missing from your prompt, so there isn’t enough information to reconstruct the task, constraints, or required algorithm.

The condition $EF=EG=EC$ places $E$ at equal distance from $C$, $F$, and $G$, so $E$ is the circumcenter of triangle $CFG$.

I can write the full editorial in the format you want, but the actual problem content is missing. Right now the statement sections are empty, so there is no way to reliably reconstruct: - what the input represents - what needs to be computed - what algorithmic structure is…

We are counting structured pairs of integers $(a,b)$ under a modular constraint on binomial coefficients. Each valid pair is formed by choosing two numbers $a$ and $b$, with $b$ never exceeding $a$, and both bounded by a very large limit: all values lie in $[0, p^k)$.

Small cases confirm the meaning of the quantity.
