Why this formula appears here
A loop opens, instead, whenever some edge’s own realization is not simply a difference of two corotating nodes’ W . The clearest documented case is the relativistic Sagnac effect: a synchronization or comparison signal that does not itself corotate with the network — a one-way satellite time transfer, or any path analyzed against a non-rotating inertial frame — picks up an explicit timing correction = (2/)\, , where is the area swept by that specific link’s path, projected 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…
