I see, and does Pluto return to its proper position AWAY from the Sun,
having been pushed AWAY from the Sun by Neptune, promptly, or only after
Neptune is passed?  How long does it take for this push-away to happen,
after the perturbation inward by DE403?

Or does it, like someone spending their paycheck before they get it, as
they KNOW it will be coming, make an assumption of a gravity pull-away.
The pull-away-assumption law of Newton, or some such.

How does Pluto KNOW this will occur, and return to its orbit BEFORE this
occurs?
