Any particular
worldline is a (generally nonempty)
set,
each of whose members
has in turn
observational content
(
colloquially: concerning the
world of what this same worldline represents),
together with the
linear order which is evaluated, between pairs of its members, from the observational content.
Therefore synonymous with, or an abstraction of, observer.
Instructions on commensurate relations between
worldlines or their members, and results of their evaluations,
are collectively referred to as Physics.
An alternatively weaker notion of worldline,
