Proper-acceleration's relationships to coordinate acceleration in a specified slice of flat spacetime follo from Minkowski's flat-space metric equation . Here a single reference frame of yardsticks and synchronized clocks define map position x and map time t respectively, the traveling object's clocks define proper time ?, and the "d" preceding a coordinate means infinitesimal change. These relationships allow one to tackle various problems of "anyspeed engineering",
