Noting that the units is the inverse of area indicates that this constant can be used to transform continuous space into absolute acceleration.

Incremental continuous space is given by $S_i=cE_i$ , where c is the speed of light. For variable speeds $S_i=vE_i$ and this is transformable into the scalar product of inertial force and a rate of change of area.

$S_i=\\mathbf{F_i} \\cdot \\frac{dA}{dt}$

the absolute acceleration is then given by

$a_i = \\int \\frac{1}{m_i} cE_i \\Lambda dt$

$m_i$ is the incremental mass which can never be identically zero.

Hello,
I thought that lambda was a parameter. Here you seem to describe it's definitive value (as an absolute), is that correct?

I will check out the paper you sited above, 'Gravitation and Inertia'.
