The classical mechanics of an idealized extended body whose internal distances are fixed, separating center-of-mass motion from rotation governed by inertia and torque.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Rigid-body dynamics specializes classical mechanics by constraining relative positions within the modeled body, an approximation that fails when deformation, vibration, or internal dissipation matters.
A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.
