Spacetime Intervals

ds² = c²dt² - dx² - dy² - dz²

Timelike: ds² > 0 (causally connected, can influence each other)

Lightlike: ds² = 0 (light rays, photons)

Spacelike: ds² < 0 (causally disconnected, cannot influence)

In 3D time theory, this extends to: ds² = dt₁² + dt₂² + dt₃² - dx² - dy² - dz²
