Oct 28, 2019 at 14:20 comment added jacob1729 In the language of my post we have $p/E = \tanh \eta$ by direct calculation. It will turn out that $\tanh \eta = v$ but I haven't formally set up the relation between $\eta$ and $v$ - to do so would I think require more work in the Nother's theorem section of this answer which should show $P^\mu \propto U^\mu$ with $m$ being the name given to the proportionality constant.
