I think that your code doesn’t do what you think it does. Note for example
that your declarations are self-contradicting :
Pasting code; enter '--' alone on the line to stop or use Ctrl-D.
:function("xp yp zp tp f")
:var("x y z t v c")
:--
(xp, yp, zp, tp, f)
(x, y, z, t, v, c)
sage: xp.parent()
<class
'sage.symbolic.function_factory.function_factory.<locals>.NewSymbolicFunction'>
sage: xp = (x - v * t) / sqrt(1 - v^2 / c^2)
sage: xp.parent()
Symbolic Ring
What you intend to do isn’t really clear… Could you try and clear your
goals ?
