Blue sideband rows raise packet index by one with the same drive energy. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Blue sideband raises packet 0

The blue drive is ten joules and raises the packet from 0 to 1.

Blue sideband raises packet 1

The blue drive is ten joules and raises the packet from 1 to 2.

Blue sideband raises packet 2

The blue drive is ten joules and raises the packet from 2 to 3.

Blue rows move upward with the same ten-joule drive

The start packet changes, but the relation gap plus spacing stays fixed at ten joules and every displayed row is accepted.
