Abstract
Apparatus performs various modal interval computations, while accounting for various modal interval operand configurations that are not amenable to ordinary computational operations. Upon detecting an exponent field of all 1's, the apparatus adapts various conventions involving leading bits in the fraction field of the modal interval endpoints to return a result having a useful meaning.
