Mass-momentum symmetry is an alternative expression of length-mass symmetry but using traditional unit dimensions of momentum. Adding a superfluous time dimension describes the same physical phenomenon in dimensions LMT-1. Time is unnecessary because momentum quantifies a particle’s spatial attribute and not its rate of displacement (see wavelength operator)
The following illustration represents the mass-momentum symmetry in the three unit dimensions of momentum

The symmetry applies a single operatorβthe wavelength operatorβto all three unit dimensions, producing observable quantities of wavelength and momentum in particles with and without rest mass. The time observable ππ has no physical meaning but has historical and computational significance in using a system’s rest mass and velocity to find the average wavelength.



The equivalence of inertial mass and momentum becomes evident when we adopt a consistent definition of momentum for particles with and without rest mass.
Derivation
In traditional unit dimensions, mass-momentum symmetry can be expressed from the definition of momentum. At the Planck scale, momentum is defined as
Restating the definition of Planck momentum as an equality gives
Since length-mass symmetry conserves wavelength and inertial mass on the left-hand side of the formula, the product of momentum and time is also conserved. πππ‘π, and every combination of πππ yields the quantum constant, 3.52 x 10-43 kgm.

The mass-momentum symmetry is reflected in non-relativistic quantities of particle wavelength and inertial mass, demonstrated in the following table using mechanical properties of photons. The table applies the wavelength operator ππ / Ζ to the Planck length, mass, and momentum, producing observable quantities of wavelength, inertial mass, and momentum proportional to the Planck scale. Quantities calculated using New Foundation Model operators are equivalent to historical formulas in which Planck’s constant is used.
