you seem to be saying
the rest frame's time (Proper Time) *must be related* to any

Is this basically correct?

No.

The question of how time in one frame (coordinate system) relates to time in
another frame (coordinate system) is a question to be resolved by EXPERIMENTS,
not by any notion of what "must" occur or what assumptions one makes. The
experiments show that SR is an excellent model (within its domain, of course).
That means that time intervals measured in one inertial frame are related to
intervals measured in a different inertial frame by the Lorentz transform..

You were claiming that long ago until you were pointed out that SR has
thoroughly predicted the mutual time dilation due to it satisfying
relative simultaneity, and no experiments have definitely shown so
this unique prediction of SR. shrug

Well, back then, you could claim to be stupid and ignorant, but now
your tactics of playing dumb just does not work anymore. That is
unless you are an idiot. shrug

Thus, keeping on claiming the lies of SR predictions being supported
by experimentations is a con-man ploy. Come on. If you really think
SR is valid, why don’t you bring up an experiment that also supports
the mutual time dilation thingy. It cannot be that difficult, can
it? shrug

In the meantime, you ought to be arrested for crime against science on
spreading lies to promote the religious nature of SR and GR. shrug
