Each relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Spacetime is modeled as the manifold of physical events; the edge expresses point-set composition, not a material assembly.
The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.

A worldline is a curve of events parameterized by proper time or an affine parameter.
The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.
