Very well put Daryl_McCullough, Thanks.
Two frames inside a light cone are timelike, on the cone is lightlike.
If -+++ equals zero then the two frames form
the end-points of a null-geodesic on the light cone,
a " lightlike " path on the surface of a spacetime.
If it's less than zero, then the frames lie inside the light cone
and they are " timelike ", othewise it's " spacelike ".
Who's lightcone?
