Keywords clifford algebra, spacetime sedenions, relativistic quantum mechanics, sedenionic kleingordon. Absolute and relational theories of space and motion. The est theory uses einsteins c as an absolute with the understanding that space is expanding, and since space is expanding, time must also vary if the c in cst is to remain a constant. One could choose a new set of coordinates in which, say, the first space coordinate was a combination of the old first and second space coordinates. Published by flsfl prebb a subsidiary of the lnrritute for scientifc information 3501 market street. This is a visual representation of einsteins theory of relativity in a social context, whereby the linearity of the external social fact on the left side changes rhythm upon entering a social space made up of differential social force propagated by the behaviours and actions of the social actors inside.
