Problem with dimensionless quantities in an equation requiring M^2 (Super Hamiltonian Formulation for Geodesic Motion)

In summary, the issue with dimensionless quantities in equations that require \( M^2 \) arises in the Super Hamiltonian formulation for geodesic motion, where the absence of dimensional consistency can lead to contradictions in the interpretation and application of the theory. This problem highlights the necessity of ensuring that all quantities in the formulation are properly defined and aligned with their physical dimensions to maintain the integrity of the mathematical framework.

I actually feel that you’ve helped me a great deal with this problem and the exchange has improved my understanding of what parameterisation is all about and that ##\frac{d}{d\lambda}## is something more abstract than classical momentum.
So you’ve most certainly helped me more than you think you have!
