The passage around this formula

…arithmetic statement: once recoil phase, laser phase, path-dependent terms, and the internal-energy term are all included through the full accounting given in [ 9 ] and [ 13 ] , if the differential protocol’s extracted mopm_{\rm op} still disagrees with the independently known Δ\Delta E/c2c^2 by more than the protocol’s own stated control budget, the operational mass gauge fails as a measurement concept even in its narrowed, differential-clock form — regardless of whether the underlying phase formula remains…
