Constant pure four-force obstruction

A nonzero four-force cannot have all components constant in an inertial frame along an entire constant-mass trajectory. If $U=U_0+F\tau /m$, preserving $U^2=c^2$ for all proper times requires both $U_0\cdot F=0$ and $F^2=0$. The orthogonal complement of timelike $U_0$ is negative definite, forcing $F=0$. A constant laboratory three-force or a four-force of constant invariant magnitude is a different, consistent condition.
