Primes¶
- Reference Standard Decay
- The reference revision clock and the role-asymmetry are exactly what metrologists discovered and could not initially see from inside: the IPK and its official copies drifted relative to one another by tens of micrograms over a century (surface contamination, material loss), which means the kilogram itself was changing while every apparatus faithfully scored mass "in kilograms" as though nothing had moved
