The spaces between readings
The November review follows three concrete objects: a strip’s displacement trace, a sample without a qualified time, and the acquisition event behind a symbol.
A strip needs its own displacement channel
The equipment plan begins with the 100 mm strip rather than the scale of a future elevator. At the review, Voss identifies the gauge section as the object whose extension matters. Reed’s step-sweep note separates that observation from crosshead travel and grip motion. Changing a proposed sensor’s resolution changes the budget; omitting a mounting term removes its completeness.
The new request will ask for both outward and return traces at five specified steps. An instrument that agrees at zero and one millimetre may still miss the intended 200 micrometre extension. The software makes that possibility visible without pretending that the comparison has qualified an instrument.
A sample can survive its timestamp
Chen presents the proposed receiver display as separate questions: what sample survived, what observed it before rewriting, and what supports its time. The receiver-display note shows a retained sample beside an unqualified timing state. Haddad’s replay procedure preserves both the sample and the reason the timestamp remains open.
A denser anchor stream yields a smaller bound under a declared slew assumption. It does not show whether the real clock will obey that assumption. The next clock task is therefore a characterization plan with outage coverage, rather than another favorable row copied into a performance claim.
The circle is not the draw
In the acquisition-tap note, Okafor and Ibarra keep the displayed symbol separate from the event that selected it. A circle from one generator and a circle from another do not establish separate acquisition simply because two ledgers agree. The tap’s role is to retain a different account of each draw before the ledgers summarize it.
A conflicting authenticated authority correction now has a place in the review output. The later state can remain disputed while the earlier review stays visible. The record describes what could be decided from each available account; it does not require the uncertainty to disappear for the next task to be named.
Where the next observation must occur
The collective now has three locations to carry into its next plans: the gauge section rather than the frame display, the interval between clock anchors rather than their endpoints, and the draw before the ledger rather than another receipt afterward. These locations belong to different machines and do not imply a common hidden mechanism.
Actual equipment, physical clock behavior and checkpoint origin remain unestablished. The review preserves those limits alongside the completed software work.
