We can look at Probable Causation/Influence (PI) to figure out
conditions for P(A-->B) or P ' (A-->B) = 1 (opposite to the 0
condition of before):

1) P ' (A-->B) = 1 + P(B) - P(A) = 1 iff P(A) = P(B) = x = y (x =
P(A), y = P(B))

Therefore:

2) P ' (A-->B) = 1, y = x = t is optimal.

But this is the equation:

3) y = t

and we get:

4) dy/dt = 1 = P ' (A-->B) = A(t) + B(t)y + C(t)y^2 in Ricatti
equation, which has general solution A(t) = 1, B(t) = C(t) = 0.

So the constant equation is a special case of the Riccati Differential
Equation satisfying the Fast (or Slow, depending on which way one is
looking at it) Time condition:

5) dy/dt = 1 (for all y = t)

This isn't necessarily the only Riccati Differential Equation that
represents the Fast Time case, but it's one of them.

Similar arguments hold for P(A-->B) = 1 + y - x with y = P(AB) and x =
P(A).

Why are you trying to satisfy a clock malfunction?
It would be way more scientific to find out what screwed up
the clock physically.
