Spacelike simultaneous
NOT A NOVELTY CLAIM. This is a machine-checked formalisation, checked by the Lean 4 kernel and resting on no axiom beyond propext and Quot.sound. It is dated and citable. Prior art, where it exists, is cited below. No discovery is claimed.
…and a frame in which the two events are simultaneous: β = t/x sends Δt to 0.

By refine ⟨⟨by omega, by omega, by omega⟩, ?_⟩ in spacetime.lean. Checked by the Lean kernel: it rests on Quot.sound and propext and on no other axiom.
