Its job in the formula

Approximately equal to; the equality is not exact.

The passage around this formula

At weak field this reduces to the familiar yijy_{ij} ≈\approx (Φi\Phi_i - Φj\Phi_j)/c2c^2 for Newtonian potential Φ\Phi , exactly the quantity real fibre-linked clock comparisons already report [ 1 , 7 ] . Collect every measured edge into a vector y , one entry per link, and encode the network’s topology in an incidence matrix B : row e = (i,j) has a +1 in column i , a -1 in column j , and zero elsewhere. The model is y = Bϕ\phi + n for measurement noise n with covariance C , and the standard weighted least-squares estimate of the node potentials is
