The paper re-derives the meVSL model's Friedmann equations using the 3+1 formalism and identifies the lapse function with the varying speed of light, but only after silently replacing the speed of light c with tilde c, so the claimed consistency with the earlier equations fails.

abstract
The timescale of quasar variability is widely expected to show the effects of time dilation. In this paper we analyse the Fourier power spectra of a large sample of quasar light curves to look for such an effect. We find that the timescale of quasar variation does not increase with redshift as required by time dilation. Possible explanations of this result all conflict with widely held consensus in the scientific community.

3+1 formalism of the minimally extended varying speed of light model
The paper re-derives the meVSL model's Friedmann equations using the 3+1 formalism and identifies the lapse function with the varying speed of light, but only after silently replacing the speed of light c with tilde c, so the claimed consistency with the earlier equations fails.
