But it isn't. And neither is "spatial interval" observer-independent,
come to mention it. Care to define what a spatial interval is?

An 'absolute spatial interval' is that which is defined by an object's
intrinsic length.


So let's see: You define length as "occupation of a spatial interval"
and you define "spatial interval" as "that which is defined by an
object's intrinsic length."

Nope, nothing circular about that.
