It doesn't properly explain the variables in any way that would make your formula practically useful. It is unclear, for example, what would happen if a spacecraft was not on the Earth-Sun line and situated between the two. At the very least it would seem to predict very different values for GPS dilation for craft located in conjunction and opposition, not to mention located elsewhere on an orbit. There seems to be no handling of general positioning. You use constant names like "Position of Sun", and "position of center of Earth". Well, position with respect to what? How do I locate this single number in X-Y-Z (or spherical if you insist) coordinates with respect to the other position constants and spacecraft? Or is FR limited to the Earth-Sun line? If so, you must know that this line is in constant motion with respect to average mass of the galaxy... You then take variable x, which is unexplained but presumably has something to do with the position of the spacecraft carrying a clock, and subtract those 'position' constants from it. Well, what is x? what happens to x if the craft has x,y,and z positions?

Until you need more attention, then you'll be back saying ridiculously stupid things again in roughly 2 weeks.
