The passage around this formula
Step back to what has and has not been shown. Two derivations stand on their own regardless of what any interferometer eventually reports: the Galilei loop’s phase debt is an exact, non-perturbative consequence of a centrally extended commutator that has been established mathematics since 1954, and the Poincaré loop’s failure to produce an analogous fixed charge, together with its c contraction into the Galilei case, follows from standard commutation relations and a standard contraction procedure applied here to one explicit quantity. Those are DERIVED, not proposed.

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
