Abstract
In the previous sections we considered the kinematics of Special Relativity, which concerns the study of the four vectors of position, velocity, and acceleration. The major result of this study was the geometric description/definition of the Relativistic Mass Particle (ReMaP) as a set of four-vectors, which at each point along the world line of the particle have common proper frame or characteristic frame if they are timelike or spacelike, respectively.
