DFT-13b: Worked Example: Proper-Time, Lorentz Factor, and the Energy–Momentum Relation
Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2025 7:56 pm
DFT-13 showed that relativity emerges from budget allocation between the S-frame and T-frame.
DFT-13b now makes that fully explicit using SI-unit conversion and one symbolic worked example.
No assumption of Lorentz invariance.
No spacetime postulates.
Everything comes from:

1. Identifications and Conversions
The intrinsic scalar progression parameter is 𝜆.
The S-frame observes:
spatial displacement: Δ𝑥
coordinate time: Δ𝑡
proper time: Δ𝜏
We map:


Thus:

2. Proper Time from Projection Geometry
Start with the projection relation:

Normalize:
^{2})
The proper-time increment is:

Thus:
^{2}}\,\Delta t)
This is exact time dilation obtained without relativity postulates.
3. Lorentz Factor Emerges Automatically
Rewriting the above:

So the Lorentz factor is:

4. Energy and Momentum from Budget Fractions
Let:


Then:

After conversion from normalized units:


Eliminate 𝛾:

Thus the relativistic energy–momentum relation is just the projection constraint expressed in SI units.
5. Worked Symbolic Example
Let the speed be:

Then:
^{2} = 0.36)

Thus:

Proper-time relation:

Energy and momentum:

 = 0.75,mc)
Check consistency:
^{2}c^{2} = 0.5625\,m^{2}c^{4})

^{2} = 1.5625\,m^{2}c^{4})
And indeed:

6. Why This Matters
DFT-13b shows:
𝛾 comes from projection budget, not Lorentz postulates.
Δ𝜏 is the leftover scalar progression after spatial demand.
𝐸2=𝑝2𝑐2+𝑚2𝑐4 is algebraically identical to the projection equation.
Relativity's algebra is not arbitrary; it is geometric.
