Scott,
I like your model for the temporal aspect but I was choosing my
words carefully to make my points as intelligible as possible to the most
common denominator. I was also trying to make the point that there can be a
larger volume of space inside the cavity then the exterior spatial dimensions
would predict. IMHO Deuterium ice, condensed hydrogen and the myriad other
names we apply are all unchanged locally but take on these strange appearances
when they occupy this extended space inside a Casimir cavity or the
interstitial space inside a lattice. I believe that when vacuum fluctuations
"appear" to get smaller between Casimir plates it is NOT a simple displacement
of the longer flux being replaced by shorter flux that can fit between the
plates as described in the present popular version of this theory. In the
relativistic interpretation it is still the same longer flux which only
appear shorter in a form of Lorentzian contraction. I believe that this type of
contraction reflects direct changes to the time axis where space time itself is
reshaped inside the cavity. Unlike the normal Lorentzian contraction of a
single dimension where you have spatial velocity in a Pythagorean relationship
to the "normal" intersecting rate of the ether, this version of contraction
instead directly changes the intersection rate of this nonphysical axis by
manipulating energy density. Because the axis of displacement/contraction is
now 90 degrees to all 3 spatial axis this type of contraction should appear
spatially symmetrical and appear to get smaller from ANY spatial axis instead
of the common Lorentzian contraction. The cost of this type of contraction is
borne by nature in segregating energy density between the outside and inside of
a plate cavity system in a manner that skips the need for near luminal velocity
and instead changes time (intersecting rate) directly proportional to local
geometry in different zones inside and outside the cavity.

I really think a better way to think about Relativistic Cavities is to think of
the time-axis shrinking, relative to the also reduced size of they particle
within the cavity. Shrinking the time axis, has the effect of accelerating the
velocity of travel along that axis, ie the passage of time. This approach
explains precisely how the H2 molecule "spends so much time there relative to
us and spends so little time there from an external perspective.
