Energy is roughly the number of transitions of hyperedges (number of times a hyperedge is updated)
Momentum is roughly the movement of hyperedges relative to the background

Rest mass is a fixed number of nodes in the spatial graph
In motion, there must be a bunch of update events
E = m c^2 is a tradeoff between energy that be got from motion, and rest mass
[E energy is the hypotenuse distance; mass is vertical distance]
number of nodes involved is m t (t = height)
hypotenuse length is energy
E^2 = p^2 c^2 + m^2 c^4
E^2 = p^2 c^2 + m^2 c^4
Clocks vs. observer computation
Clocks vs. observer computation
Imagine that the clocks are set in a very complicated way. At the beginning, the observer assumes they are correct. They try to infer gravitational fields consistent with what the clocks tell them, and with GR.
Can the observer define a coordinate system so that the clocks (however their mechanism may work) remain synchronous?
Can you predict what the clocks will do, and therefore set up a coordinate system you understand?
