Adjustability as a Requirement of Ideal Clocks

TLDR
In this paper, the authors compare the behavior required for clocks to maintain synchrony in the group of coordinate frames that leaves Maxwell's equations invariant, and show that the need for adjustment is due to the well known invariance of the equations under a group of transformations larger than the Lorentz group, and not due to imperfections in clocks.About:

Distinguishing between evidence and its explanations in the steering of atomic clocks
John Myers,F. Hadi Madjid +1 more
TL;DR: Variation of spacetime curvature is shown to limit the bit rate of logical communication and begins to explore questions invisible under any concept of time that fails to acknowledge unforeseeable events.

Distinguishing between evidence and its explanations in the steering of atomic clocks
John Myers,F. Hadi Madjid +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown how hypothesized metric tensors, dependent on guesswork, take part in the logical synchronization by which clocks are steered in rate and position toward aiming points that satisfy phase constraints.

A choice of wave functions in the making of time
John Myers,F. Hadi Madjid +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a reference system that, by expressing feedback, structures the unpredictability inherent in atomic clocks in a background of motion, without requiring the assumption of a metric tensor or even a spacetime.
