Your argument needs to be why it is practical in a smallish device, not that it seems possible.

Like you first have to infer what satellite you are even measuring, before you can decide where it might be.

Disagree. If the objection is just cost/complexiry, that’s really just a statement of how long until it’s practical. GPS itself was computationally impossible in the 1950’s.

If the math works, and it’s just the domain of one-off ridiculously expensive devices today, it’s inevitably feasible in the long run.
