Well, yes.

But let me give an example about what I mean:

the equation E=m*c² uses variables and those have a valid interpretation 
in physics as attributes of physical systems.

The term 'E' - for instance - means energy. But physicists had to say, 
what is the system, the term is an attribute of. (what they don't do)

In fact meant is the radioactive decay, where a ray is emitted from a 
radioactive sample.

The ray has a certain energy, while the sample looses some mass.

So far so good. But this would require a different equation:

E_ray = - delta (m_sample) * c²

Instead the term 'E' is not an attribute of something anymore, but a 
'thing' itself.

This shall be equal to inertia times c squared.

And that is ***** ...
