Classical particle mechanics constrained by Minkowski spacetime and Lorentz invariance.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Relativistic particle mechanics specializes classical dynamics to Minkowski spacetime.
A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Newtonian particle kinematics and dynamics are recovered from relativistic particle mechanics when characteristic velocities are small compared with and relativistic energy corrections are negligible.
The target is recovered from the source either in a stated mathematical or asymptotic limit, or through a quantitatively controlled approximation with identified small parameters or omitted terms. The edge label and detail must state which case applies and its regime of validity.
