Which mechanical behavior emerges when calibrating astrolabe altitude scales?

💡 Explanation

Tolerance stack affects angle accuracy of altitude readings because iterative adjustments accumulate positional uncertainty, and algebraic summation determines net angular error; therefore, final placement errors rise rather than averaging like random errors.
