Hi Galathaea,

You're trying to model what, exactly ? and why should I care ?
What are the inputs, the givens, and the desired results ?

i am trying to model spatial relationships between existents
without introducing the unobservable space

usual physics presupposes some kind of "manifold" structure
or at least some kind of background "point" structure
and each individual existent is given "position"
by being assigned a location in this space

when i am feeling particularly machian
this starts to feel a little dirty

because there are points not assigned to existents
and it is possible to define places inaccessible from existents
and the whole thing is very counterfactual

so some time ago i derived some equations for a distance-only approach

let me give describe the triangle case in a little more detail
