Wrong. Such a theory cannot handle the following problem. (If you
disagree, show us!)

3 rockets leave the origin in the XY plane at the same time.  They all
move at the same speed, as measured at the origin O.  Rocket A moves along
the +x direction.  Rocket B moves at a 120 degree angle to Rocket A/the x
axis, in the XY plane.  Rocket C moves at a 240 degree angle to A (or 120
degrees in the opposite direction), also in the XY plane.  Because of
geometry, Rockets B and C are also at a 120 degree angle to each other.


 B
  \
   \
    O------A
   /
  /
 C

Remember, all 3 rockets move at the same velocity as seen from O.

Now, A measures the clock rates of B and C.  A measures B's clock as
ticking at exactly half the rate of A's clock.  A measures C's clock as
ticking at exactly half the rate of A's clock.  In other words,
gamma=2 in both cases.

Tell us.  Using your IRT, what does B measure when measuring the rate of
A's clock? What does C measure when measuring the rate of A's clock?

And now: What does B measure when measuring the rate of C's clock?
What does C measure when measuring the rate of B's clock?
