Do more frequent earlier positions exclude the accepted alternatives?

This generated-data diagnostic reevaluates 18 existing calibrations without fitting them. It adds prediction times at one-second spacing from 2 to 290 seconds. No receiver observations are invented.

18/18 fixed predictions completed. All passing records preserve the original sparse epoch values exactly.

The original calibration and both accepted north-extreme alternatives each receive a ±1 m coordinate interval, expanded by the declared 0.00001 m numerical guard. A negative overlap means no common coordinate could satisfy all three at that epoch, even with that extra guard. Nonnegative overlap leaves their coexistence possible; it does not predict the noise an actual receiver would produce.

This tests only these fixed alternatives at sampled times. It is not a new outer prediction bound, a continuous-time guarantee, an aircraft error law or an Earth-model comparison. V01 remains unqualified. The 53-stretch findings are unchanged.
