A phase-encode row is a deterministic position ledger. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

A phase scale turns position into phase

The training phase scale is 2 per metre. Each row position is multiplied by that scale.

Four rows make four exact phase values

Positions 0 m, 1 m, 2 m, and 3 m give phases 0, 2, 4, and 6.
