# Time Dilation Calculator implementation

A source-bound implementation contract for Time Dilation Calculator; deployment and executable qualification remain separate.

Status: **VERIFIED_CLEAN**Lifecycle: **implementation-contract**

## Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

**Record owner**: Guth Instruments

**Lifecycle**: verified-clean

**Evidence ID**: t5-212

**Effect**: Computation or source lookup only

## Input and validation requirements

The formula has an undefined point at exactly |v|=c and is non-real for |v|>c. A conforming calculator must explicitly reject these inputs; silently returning infinity, NaN, or a complex value would be a boundary-handling failure.

## Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

## Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
