This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
In Newtonian mechanics force is ; this definition does not make force fundamental in every formulation.
Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The second law relates net force to momentum change, reducing to at constant mass.
The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
