Multi-Clock Closure Theorem Phase Accumulation and Integer Drift in Finite Period Systems
Authors/Creators
Description
ABSTRACT
This paper generalizes the closure principle observed in multi-clock systems. Given two periodic processes with distinct periods, the cumulative phase drift between them accumulates linearly. When this accumulated drift approaches an integer multiple of the base cycle, a closure relation emerges. We formalize this accumulation, derive integer closure conditions, and provide error bounds for approximate synchronization.
