No, he means distance dependent. By which he means that light speed
300 m from a source might be different than light speed 3 m from a
source. Read his other posts.

Make stuff up? Are you making that up too?

No, they are locally synched.

No, they are locally the same length.

Yes, that's because they are locally the same length.

No, they are still locally synched.

Bull. Stop guessing and read the paper.

No ....the value of TWLS is also physical distance dependent.
