如何在R中高效处理矩阵间的循环依赖问题？

从Excel转向R后，需要处理嵌套列表内3个矩阵的循环引用问题：数据原本按Reserve$Out → Class_A_current$In → Class_A_prior_unpd$In的下游方向流动，现在需要反向传递——将$Series_One$Class_A_prior_unpd$Post_FC_short的值回填到$Series_One$Reserve$Due_Class_A（该列当前为占位值）。此前手动将Due_Class_A设为0，得到临时Post_FC_short后再回填，以下是R中的规范解法。

核心思路：迭代收敛法 #

这类循环引用本质是依赖迭代更新，和Excel的迭代计算逻辑一致：通过重复计算流程，用下游结果更新上游依赖项，直到结果稳定（变化小于设定阈值）。对于含min()、累计求和这类非线性递推的场景，迭代法是最直观且易实现的方案。
