The passage around this formula
…is required to pass: it vanishes as v/c 0 for any spin, and it vanishes as S 0 for any observer or Lorentz frame. It is bounded above by exactly 1 for the observer-transition case, since || was shown above to saturate rather than merely approach that value. Both checks are this construction’s kill criterion, run rather than assumed: had either limit failed to collapse the disagreement to zero, the atlas would have been reporting confusion between an artefact of convention and…
