Clock-aware bounds improve, but remain too broad

All 48 generated sector identities pass correctness. Each complete model/processing comparison retains its known future truth and all eight original yaw sectors. Inputs and physical calibration bounds are unchanged.

Typical globe range widths are now about 115 m north, 115 m east and 115 m in height, compared with 386 / 172 / 118 m in the earlier orientation cover. The clock-aware construction removes about 70% of the remaining north width and one third of the east width. Height changes little.

Relative to the original broad-box method, the improvement is approximately 6.7-fold north, 5.1-fold east and 4.5-fold vertically. None of the six cases meets the predeclared tenfold target on every axis. These calculated ranges remain far too broad to qualify long-record prediction uncertainty. They are not measured aircraft errors, sensor drift or a revision of the 53 model preferences.

The study spent 192 native evaluations in 472 seconds, within its separate finite allowance. It saves every native value, all 27 Jacobian columns, training observation/inequality and future support input. Its earlier qualification includes all candidates, processing cases, timing boundaries and independent stationary poses. Neither study may be restarted or expanded.

Remaining width

For the first specified-field/no-removal case, the largest retained nonlinear allowance contributes roughly 52 m on each axis; affine uncertainty adds about 63 m. Training remainder allowances already measure about 19 m at the first 0.2-second epoch and 24 m at 1.5 seconds. This points to a remaining loss in the calibration/error enclosure, rather than a need to adjust the physical model or widen an instrument drift assumption.

The next saved-data audit will quantify which calibration ranges can actually be narrowed by the joint training inequalities, and which broad remainders remain even with tighter affine calculations. Errors shared across epochs must be distinguished from independently varying errors. The audit needs no new native predictions or original IMU reads.

Global numerical treatment, actual receiver-error adequacy and independent confirmation remain open. New qualified aircraft prediction fits remain blocked. The main numerical result stays 53 globe preferences, zero flat preferences and zero unresolved.
