SR fundamental contradiction

Luttgens:
Let x = ct.
Then x' = g(x - vt), where gamma = 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), becomes
x' = g(c-v)t
What represents the length (c-v)t?
Is that length "dilated" by g?
Marcel Luttgens
(c-v)t is the length I perceive between the moving guy and the photon.
That length is not dilated by g in my frame.
