In this work, the LoCC will be invoked in a variety of regions and time intervals. To start, the region
be taken as any of the following eight ( ) cities in the United States:
will
Atlanta
Dallas
Denver
Miami
San Diego
Seattle
Washington, DC
Kansas City
Furthermore, two ( ) time intervals will be considered: and . These are
chosen as part of the analysis presented in section 0–A, and are taken thereafter to be
and
, and year.
Since, in the context of this work, and , the LoCC yields a system of simultaneous
linear equations on variables, which we denote by . The contents of this system of
constraints are explicitly given below:
Clearly, 16 linear equations are insufficient to uniquely specify the values of 80 variables, which is to say,
is underdetermined. We must proceed by finding additional constraints. Indeed, in the sections
that follow, we shall uncover a large number of structured constraints (448, to be precise) on the ratios of
variables appearing on the right hand side of the above 16 equations. We will also develop direct estimates
of the numerical values of the variables appearing on the left hand sides. We use these variables
together to constrain the space of feasible solutions. Then, within that small space of feasible solutions, we
will find the unique point or “solution” that most closely satisfies the 16 equations above. In this manner,
we shall be able to deduce estimates for all the unknowns.
