Propagation confuses a catalog reference epoch with its observation epoch · case 03
Propagation confuses a catalog reference epoch with its observation epoch.
Case contract
Toy linear catalog: position x is defined at reference epoch ref; observed is provenance only; return x+rate*(target-ref). Epochs are arbitrary integer model ticks.
Why this case matters
Astronomical catalog and observation adapters must preserve the declared coordinate convention across software boundaries.
