The speed of light is the Τ-flow ceiling of the Earth register. Every orbital domain has its own c. Time accelerates outward.

Core Result
c is the local Τ-flow ceiling of a register
In FOT, c is not a universal constant but a register-boundary speed: the maximum rate at which Τ-flow can propagate within a given orbital domain. The Earth register has c = 299,792,458 m/s. Registers further from the solar Τ-generator have higher local ceilings because their Τ-density gradient is steeper.
P-VLSC-1
c_n = c_Earth × (R_n / R_Earth)^(1/K) K = 31,104
c_n is the local speed-of-light ceiling at orbital node n
R_n is the orbital radius at node n

P-VLSC Series
P-VLSC-1
c is a register-specific Τ-flow ceiling. It varies between orbital domains as c_n = c_Earth × (R_n/R_Earth)^(1/K). No single value of c applies everywhere in the solar system.
P-VLSC-2
The Pioneer anomaly (unexpected sunward acceleration ~8.74×10⁻¹⁰ m/s²) is the observational signature of the inter-register Τ-gradient: as Pioneer crossed register boundaries outward, its clocks ran faster than Earth-register predictions, appearing as an inward acceleration when interpreted with fixed c.
P-VLSC-3
Biological ageing accelerates with distance from the solar Τ-generator. The Sun is the primary Τ-source; living further from it (in orbital terms) means slower replenishment of cellular Τ-density, causing faster biological aging.
P-VLSC-4
Saturn's register Τ-flow ceiling is approximately 1.791× Earth's c. This is the ratio of Saturn's orbital Τ-density to Earth's, derived from the K-cascade applied to Saturn's mean orbital radius of 9.537 AU.

A note on “constants.” Within the Universal Force of Time there are no universal constants. A quantity like the Rydberg is not one fixed number but a small family of register faces — each an exact {2, 3, 5, π} value, each reproducing the spectrum on its own scale of Τ. The Rydberg alone carries at least three: 10,966,227.11 m⁻¹ (= 10⁷π²/9), 10,967,215.73, and 10,973,936.9 m⁻¹. What conventional physics records as the constant — the CODATA 10,973,731.568157 m⁻¹ — is not a fourth fundamental number; it is a single measurement sitting between those faces, in the band they define, read from the one register our instruments occupy: the Earth-surface node, g₁. Every wavelength, and the speed of light, Planck’s value, and the fine-structure ratio with it, behaves the same way — each shifts from g₀ to g₁ to g₂ to g₃ by the lattice step δG, not by error. These are not constants; they are the values Τ wears at the register where we stand.
