A slow toy speed limit turns beta and gamma into exact ratios. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Speed is compared to the limit
This book uses toy speed limit 5 m/s; real light speed is much larger. The toy speed is 3 m/s while the speed limit is 5 m/s, so beta is 3/5.
