But you are very confused, and understand nothing.

You are referring to the phenomenon that when two _inertial_ clocks
are in relative motion, then, in the _inertial_ rest frame of each
clock, the other clock will be measured to run slow.

 That' what I said

 This phenomenon is called "mutual time dilation".

 Absolutely.
 But the term is slightly improper, because it can make you think that we are talking about the times noted on watches.
Paul, Paul, I see that you still haven't understood, and you are still repeating the same inaccuracies, the same bad judgments about what I say.
The term "mutual dilation of chronotropies" is more accurate, but apparently, the scientific community should be afraid of it, because, except in the medical field, it is very difficult to pronounce. LOL.

 =========================================================
There is reciprocity because _both_ clocks are inertial.
==========================================================

 Sure.

 But the rate of each clock isn't affected in any way by the speed of
of the other clock, each of the clocks is _always_ running at its
normal pace, one second per second.

Absolutely. And? 

There is no "internal mechanism" in the clocks which
is affected by the speed of the other clock.
 This should be blatantly obvious for anybody who can think.
There are millions of clocks in the world, and each clock
can't be affected in millions of different ways at the same time.

 That's not what I said. It's an absurd thought that belongs to no one.
