Primes

• Frame of Reference
  • formalizes transformations relating inertial frames in special relativity; Minkowski

    This sourceUnifies space and time into a four-dimensional spacetime continuum; introduces 'world line' and the invariant spacetime interval that is the same for all inertial observers.

• Time
  • It separates the before from the after and makes change intelligible, a structure that Minkowski (1908) made geometrically explicit by unifying time with space into the four-dimensional manifold whose causal cone structure imposes ordering on physically connectable events.

    This sourceFoundational paper unifying space and time into the four-dimensional spacetime manifold; establishes the light-cone causal structure that imposes the linearity-and-ordering → duration-and-rate → irreversibility pattern on physical events.

Domain-specific

• Poincaré group
  • … the distinction between constitutive identity and a convenient observable transfers from A Lorentz boost followed by a spacetime translation preserves interval differences between events. to Relativistic particle states are classified by unitary representations of a cover of the proper orthochronous Poincaré group..
