You contradict yourself (again). Remember, the two propositions are:
(1) The elapsed proper time along a uniform path (no acceleration) between
two given events ei and ej is sqrt[(ti-tj)^2) - (xi-xj)^2)].
(2) The elapsed proper time along a path undergoing constant proper acceleration
between two given events equals the elapsed proper time along an unaccelerated
path between those two events.
Those claims are self-contradictory, because, for any three events e1,e2,e3 on a constantly accelerating path, where the accelerating clock reads the proper time values tau1,tau2,tau3, your claim is that
. . tau2 - tau1 = sqrt[(t2-t1)^2 - (x2-x1)^2]
. . tau3 - tau2 = sqrt[(t3-t2)^2 - (x3-x2)^2]
. . tau3 - tau1 = sqrt[(t3-t1)^2 - (x3-x1)^2]
but these relations are self-contradictory, as shown by the fact that
. . . (tau2-tau1) + (tau3-tau2) = (tau3-tau1)
If you add the right sides of the first two expressions above, it does not equal the right side of the third expression unless the three events e1,e2,e3 are co-linear, meaning the accelerating path is not accelerating. This proves that your claims are self-contradictory.
Whenever this is explained to you, you deny (1), but you just re-affirmed (1), then then you deny it, and then you re-affirm it, and then you deny it... and so on, endlessly.
