This is a subjective, non absolute number. It just means it's the worldline where the meter was created and Suzuha came from. Then she did things in the past (1975) which altered the world line and made it diverge far from "absolute 0% divergence number". You cannot have a "divergence number" if your world line does not diverge from what it is supposed to calculate, right? So when it was created, he "numbered" his worldline 0.000000, a number that has to change and go over 1%. So it is "0.000000" from Okabe's perspective, not the universe's. This is why it isn't an absolute number.
