Leon has an interesting section in his free pdf book "Apparent
Relativity" on the laws of logic and relativity.

In reality the principle of Relativity is merely
a negative assertion "motion is relative not absolute"
and then framing things in terms of perspective.
Einstein asked "what can result of a theory so minimal
as merely a negative assertion that negates that motion
is absolute instead relative?" then goes about answering
why, among the other absolutes and ideals, it's so.
Then, "mass-energy equivalency" making for space-contraction,
and, "cosmological constant" as infinitesimal, then besides
the "L-principle light's constant velocity", are basically
separate concerns altogether about when the fields come
together, that Einstein clarifies "Special is spacial not
spatial" as far as it goes.
That then there's a tetrad of quantities and those usually
a triad of force complements, is quite classical yet merely
a classical perspective of the super-classical, which is
really the fields of potentials in a sum-of-histories
sum-of-potentials least-action least-gradient theory,
in itself.
It's a continuum mechanics, ....
