Airborne measurements. Open methods.

Independent trajectory-force diagnostic

18/18 controls passed. The batch used 1134 force evaluations and 2268 scalar comparisons in 0.80 seconds. It read no recordings and performed no fits or native integrations.

This checks a new calculation, not instrument accuracy or flight evidence. The reference uses independent Cartesian geometry and derivatives; the adapter uses local coordinate metrics. Two changing attitudes are checked at every epoch.

RMS values are acceleration-magnitude mismatches in m/s² with exact generated trajectories and known calibration. They are not whitened costs, confidence levels, model detections or measured device errors. Stationary controls correctly have no magnitude separation. Incorrect-model outcomes are preserved without requiring discrimination.

Passing qualifies only this exact-trajectory calculation. Receiver differentiation, its temporal uncertainty, averaging and synchronization, calibration assumptions and recorded-data selection still need qualification. The main 53-stretch findings are unchanged.
