Short-Range Wave-Swelling Ranging and Time-Free Navigation: A New 1–3 Satellite Positioning Architecture Based on the Wave-Swelling Law

Wave-Swelling Cosmology Series, Paper 14, V1 first release. The cosmological constant K0 = 14.317 billion light-years has been independently verified with 29 galaxy frequency-ratio data points and the CMB; this paper deals only with the short-range K_s and the implementation of GPS positioning. The difficulty of short-range wave-swelling is not the formula but the measurement: τ = 1.49×10⁻¹⁹ at the GPS distance (20,189 km) and 7.38×10⁻²⁷ for 1 m resolution. We present the wave-swelling-degree sensor, the measurement chain and specifications, the error budget, motion-term shape separation, a spectrum-versus-size table, a time-free 1–3 satellite architecture, differential wave-swelling, and atomic spectral-line ranging.
