Experimental scope of a local clock comparison

The primary paper is Nature 602 (2022), 420–424. Its abstract and the spatially resolved frequency analysis report a gravitational-redshift measurement within one millimetre-scale ultracold strontium sample. The abstract quotes fractional frequency measurement uncertainty . This is literature evidence for the stated laboratory clock comparison.

The experiment does not test a near-horizon suspension, a computational complexity bound, or a mapping from FIB probability mass to a spacetime lapse. The static exterior formulas and the conditional numerical resource application are separately described in Reall’s note.
