From Celsius
TG = 2TC
Canonical reference
Definition & specification
The defining relationship is unchanged. Version 1.1 is now published on Zenodo and adds a quantitative comparison of whole-number intervals; Version 1.0 remains permanently citable as the original defining specification.
VERSION 1.1 · PUBLISHED ON ZENODO
Version 1.1
The Galliera Temperature Scale
The defining relationship remains exact and unchanged: TG = 2TC. Version 1.1 makes the whole-number comparison with Celsius and Fahrenheit explicit.
Normative definition
The scale in two equations.
The definition is deliberately minimal.
Back to Celsius
TC = TG / 2
Canonical identity: Version 1.0 established TG = 2TC. Version 1.1 preserves that relationship unchanged; altering it would define a different scale.

Scope
What Version 1.1 adds — and what it does not change.
The definition stays fixed. The revision makes an existing design advantage explicit and quantitative.
Definition unchanged
Galliera readings still satisfy TG = 2 TC and share the Celsius zero point.
Granularity quantified
Across 0–40 °C, the same physical range contains 40 Celsius, 72 Fahrenheit, and 80 Galliera one-degree intervals.
Precision claim unchanged
The extra whole-number intervals are a representational advantage, not extra sensor accuracy or metrological precision.
