Beta Hypothesis: Relativistic Kinematics as an Effect of a Geometric Constraint

Current reference manuscript. A local geometric constraint on a fiber bundle of the form D¹ × S¹, from which Lorentz invariance, time dilation, and relativistic energy are reconstructed as consequences rather than postulates.

Status: deposited on Zenodo for public priority; under submission to a peer-reviewed journal (Annales de la Fondation Louis de Broglie).
