Chronological Path Stability/Uncertainty Analysis

[npcompl33t]

Here are the MDS1 vs 5 and MDS1 vs 6 plots. These show how the ambiguity related to the ending sections arises. They almost form a coherent circle of points. The exact ordering of these segments depends on where you enter the circle. This makes sense, if the points all form a ring, you can be reasonably sure of the ordering but starting at different points on the circle results in different sets of orders.

If Phileas Fogg began his journey in New York as opposed to London, suddenly it is on opposite sides of the path from San Francisco, even though the two are spatially adjacent. This ordering swap does not mean that there is no difference between San Francisco, New York, and London. It does not imply any kind of inconsistency with respect to there being a path connecting all of them.
