Secular phase integral for proportional mass growth (Φ(t)=∫0t​g(t′)dt′)

Secular forcing of a test particle
If both precession and forcing in z˙=ig(t)(z−zf​) share a common mass factor while zf​ stays fixed, then z=zf​+(z(0)−zf​)exp(i∫0t​g(t′)dt′). The Argand diagram circle is unchanged; only its traversal speed varies. With g(t)=gf​t/tp​, the phase is gf​t2/(2tp​).
