The passage around this formula
…onto Earth’s equatorial plane. That expression carries units of time, while an edge datum is a dimensionless log frequency ratio, so what actually enters the edge is = /T for the averaging interval T over which the comparison is gated; this is exactly the term without which the Global Positioning System’s own time transfer disagrees with ground clocks by an amount well outside its design tolerance [ 10 ] . Whenever an edge’s own physical realization departs from plain node-to-node W…
