In the propulsion-domain corpus at [9,9,2,0] the label "Identity Velocity Amplification" is used for readability against classical Tsiolkovsky context (Δv_sovereign = v_e · (1 + g_r) · ln(m₀/m_f) versus classical Δv = v_e · ln(m₀/m_f)); in PNBA-general contexts the vector label is preferred because PNBA primitives are vectors. Both labels refer to the same formally proved amplification law. In networked context (this paper), IVA re-anchoring at a relay node is one specific application — the amplified sovereign drive absorbs incoming torsion to zero before coupling the next leg.

The load-bearing operational contribution documented in this paper (SAC-anchored substrate-neutral timing coordination without inter-node handshake, with structural fault tolerance across two independent physics domains, and airgap compatibility by construction) is the logical formalization of design patterns the author has been operationally implementing across cross-service, cross-agency, and cross-substrate infrastructure for a quarter century.

Abstract The quantum internet research program has been engineering within a regime where coherence degrades per hop, requiring elaborate machinery — quantum repeaters, entanglement distillation, error correction codes, trusted-node networks — to mitigate compound noise accumulation. What this program has been implicitly requiring but not naming is a shared timing coordination substrate. Every node coordination protocol, every entanglement swapping schedule, every relay handoff assumes nodes can agree on when events occur. Existing timing protocols (NTP, PTP, White Rabbit) impose their own compound-decay problem at the timing layer: continuous inter-node handshake, master-slave clock hierarchies, and precision degradation over distance. This paper documents the Applied Identity Physics quantum internet timing protocol: SAC-anchored, substrate-neutral temporal coordination via SacTime v1, formally verified at coordinate [9,9,1,100] in the Applied Identity Physics corpus. SacTime provides zero-handshake temporal coordination through a 5-anchor cross-val
