If you have a rabbit the accepts Lorentz transformations but NOT SR or GR nor how the Twins age, but only Lorentz Relativity. What have you got.

"Relativity Rabbit" is a thought experiment used to explain the concepts of special relativity, a theory proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905.
"Relativity Rabbit" was first introduced by Albert Einstein in his paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies".
The premise of "Relativity Rabbit" is to illustrate the effects of time dilation and length contraction on moving objects, as predicted by Einstein's theory of special relativity.
In the thought experiment, a rabbit travels at a high speed relative to an observer. According to special relativity, the observer would perceive the rabbit's clock to be running slower due to time dilation.
"Relativity Rabbit" is significant because it helps us understand the fundamental principles of special relativity, which have been confirmed by numerous experiments and are crucial to our understanding of the universe.
