Thanks Dave - as you know we corresponded privately on this and for continuity and in case anyone else is interested, I'm posting some of what I wrote back to you:
"Mass is nothing more than the measure of uniform motion" - this is exactly the clarity of thought that I have wanted to find - thank you. I do like that. at once this phrase is incontrovertable and obvious, if it is your own contribution I am impressed. I am new to mechanics.
I disagree deeply with linear motion. Utter fantasy. What is fascinating is the stability of a large realm available to a single consciousness and also to several single consciousnesses, where stillness, and linear motion, apparently exist. In other words the gravitational field of our human world, and the apparent conditions that stimulated Euclid and Descartes and Newton to build linear models of dimension and motion. When in fact, all motion is twisted.
There is a lot of food for thought in the idea that the total motion and motion potential is a constant, and in my own work I think of finite systems, infinity is impossible, and loops. I avoid the idea absolute because absolutes in politics are dreadful (Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, Hitler) and the more gentle word finite or complete is better for all of us, harmed as we are by living as humans in a damaged world, seeking truth.
So in summary - I agree and disagree with specific details in your work, which is fine, to be expected.
