Here is the positional field and its action.
![]() As you can see the outside circle, representing the positional field at some distance, is initially unmoved when the field center changes position. This is required if the transmission velocity of the "notice of movement" is less than instantaneous. Clearly parts of the field more distant must wait to be notified of movement at center for a longer time than parts of the field which are closer to the center. The field is then stretched and compressed into ellipsoidal shapes during the time of acceleration. After acceleration, the field catches up to the center and everything proceeds as the former spherical unit (with the understanding that the field may be of any finite size).
The center of the positional field is the existential unit (the thing counted). It is active in that it responds to notification of the existence of other units by moving, rotating, etc. The locus of its activity remains near the center of its own field because that field determines the definition of a straight line. If the positional field becomes warped (as in acceleration) the locus of action will also be warped in like manner. Thus, if the field is bent to one side, the center (particle) will move in that direction following its own general field lines. Or more exactly, The central unit "self-interacts" with its own field.The field center, moving in response to some as yet to be determined influence, is accelerated in a specific direction. It compresses (warps) its own field and in the process sets up a "self-resistance" to further motion which we call inertia.
The positional also rotates as the embodiment of absolute time (just as the isotropic field embodies absolute space by means of the unit length).
The direction of rotation is at right angles to the direction of motion when the central unit moves in response to the "appearance" of another unit (presently about 1065 new units per second.
