Wow.
There's quite a lot here to absorb, but I wanted to chime in to say just a couple of things real quick...
First, you guys are fantastic...really. Between the three of you, I think I've just about got this thing figured out. Although..that's just going to lead me somewhere else, no?
I've got my hands on some textbooks (not those mentioned, but just what I could conjure up before the weekend at school) and plan on rummaging through them sometime this weekend. I hope those will help.

Everything you need can be derived much more elegantly from the Minkowski metric/invariant interval (a generalization of the Pythagorean theorem that connects spatial and temporal 'directions').

HA! Yes! I was talking to one of the physics professors here on campus and he said much the same thing. He told me to read up on it and get with during lunch sometime next week.
/goes back to his stack of books...
