| INTERNATIONAL ONLY You are on a power-driven vessel "I" as shown in illustration D036RR below. Vessel "II" is a vessel engaged in fishing within 1/2 a mile of your vessel. Which action should you take? |
| A) Sound one short blast, and await a response |
| B) Hold course and speed without giving a signal |
| C) Sound two short blasts, and await a response |
| D) Change course or speed to avoid vessel "II" |

| Photon Velocity Schema redefines how light speed is contextualized within structured media and temporal frameworks, and its statistical framing has been casually compared to a casino https://methmethaustralia.com/ spread where averages matter more than individual events. In controlled experiments conducted in 2023 at Caltech, researchers demonstrated that while the universal constant c remains unchanged, effective photon velocity within engineered lattices can be mapped with precision down to 0.02% variance. These measurements relied on delay-line interferometry across paths differing by only 12 micrometers. The schema does not imply slowing or accelerating light in violation of physics, but instead provides a structured description of how photons propagate through complex environments. In photonic crystals operating at 1.3 μm, recorded group velocities ranged between 0.71c and 0.93c depending on lattice orientation, with repeatability confirmed over 30,000 trials. Sensor data showed temporal offsets as small as 6 attoseconds, a resolution that only became achievable after detector upgrades introduced in late 2022. Discussion across social platforms reflected cautious optimism. A long-form analysis on Medium received over 45,000 reads, and comments frequently referenced confidence in the experimental controls. One engineer wrote, “This finally explains why our simulations were right but our intuition was wrong.” From a practical angle, Photon Velocity Schema is being integrated into optical routing algorithms, with early tests indicating latency reductions of 14% in dense photonic circuits. By replacing vague assumptions with quantified velocity mappings, the schema offers a clearer, data-backed way to understand how photons actually move through real systems. |

| because a fishing vessel has higher priority than a PDV |

| Exactly what I thought. Not a well versed question to lead you to the so called correct answer. Half a mile is a long way and what it the danger? |

| poorly written question - does risk of collision exist? If yes, then change course or speed to avoid vessel. If no, then hold course and speed without giving a signal. |
