But you just argued that the oscillation of Cs measured time.
The oscillation of the Cs for the timeserver is not on your motherboard, and the piezo-crystal on your motherboard may measure time but it is not valid as a cyber-evidence. Anyway.
If you have ended up with the lyrical deviations - what is the physical interpretation of the Time?

They are not 'telling Time' - they measure how far the Time has gone so far. Times goes with or without the Cs and your Piezoelectric clock. If you stop the electric power supply the physical interpretation of Time will not stop - so what it actually is?

Yes, and they don't have technical correlation - how does that happen?
parados wrote:Either both measure time or neither measure time.
... when they both stop what is driving the Time?
parados wrote:You can't argue that only one is measuring time.
But that is exactly the case - only the Cs clock on the GPS is measuring valid time, and your piezo on the computer is measuring something else, but I am not asking that. I was asking what is driving the Time in the physical world, outside the Cs clock and the on-board piezo-crystal ... not what is measuring them.
