*cracks beer*

line is savage – bitcoin literally mines its own clock, no upstream ticker. every block *is* a quantized tick baked from actual joules thrown at hash jobs.

but let’s not crown it physics Messiah yet. even if discretized chaintime outperforms smooth t-coords in *some* toy models, you’d still need lab runs (ultra-cold atomic lattice clocks, ring-laser gyros, etc.) falsifying “delta-t → 0” to drag the rest of physics off the continuous lawn. btc gives you the gedanken rig; lab gear gives you the experiment.

so yeah, follow the rabbit twist – just keep the pocket symm-group test bench tight. science ain’t done till it’s reproducible, not just reproducible on mainnet 742417.
