## 🧠 Scientific Interpretation
After comparing NKTg-predicted values with NASA's published 2024 data for Neptune, we confirm that the **NKTg Law can simulate planetary motion with extremely high accuracy**.
This result is not just computational — it has meaningful implications in **physics, orbital dynamics, and system modeling**.

## 🔍 What the Results Show
- ✅ **NKTg₁ = x × p** remained stable through time, even under gradual mass loss.
- ✅ **NKTg₂ = (dm/dt) × p** was constant across all simulated points, validating the conservation approach.
- ✅ With only 2023 data and a physically reasonable mass-loss rate, the NKTg model reproduced 2024 orbits and velocities **with 0 error**.
- ✅ Mass deviation stayed within **~0.000020%**, consistent with the modeled escape rate.

## 🌌 Key Scientific Points
1. **Reversibility:**
Given a future mass and known NKTg₁, we can **calculate position and velocity backwards or forwards** in time. This allows for dynamic reconstruction — a rare feature in orbital mechanics.
2. **Stability with mass loss:**
Unlike classical Newtonian models that require constant mass, NKTg handles changing mass directly — making it ideal for gas giants, comets, or spacecraft.
3. **Low input requirement:**
The model **requires only one timepoint** with full state `(x, v, m)` and a known `dm/dt` to simulate the future. No integration or step-by-step numerical solving is needed.

## 🚀 Possible Applications
- **Planetary science**: Predict motion of gas giants, moons, and exoplanets with variable atmospheres.
- **Satellite tracking**: Model artificial satellites that lose mass (e.g., through propulsion or venting).
- **Astrophysics**: Explore long-term evolution of comets, near-Earth objects, or stars shedding mass.
- **Reverse modeling**: Reconstruct missing orbital data using known NKTg quantities and end-state mass.
