+# Floating-Point Precision
+The result element type follows the `Observer{T}` element type `T`, and the computation runs
+at that precision:
+- **`Float64`** (default): reference accuracy for every algorithm.
+- **`BigFloat`** (and other wide types, e.g. `Float128`): genuine extended precision for every
+  algorithm — use a higher `setprecision` for more correct digits.
+- **`Float32`**: accurate and faster for every algorithm (a magnitude-safe time base keeps full
+  intra-day resolution instead of riding on the ~2.45e6 Julian Date).
+- **`Float16`**: experimental — its range/precision is too small for these algorithms
+  (overflow and inverse-trig domain errors are likely). Use `Float32` or wider.
