I have no idea what you are trying to say, if anything.Each of the events A and B are exactly the same events for both the runner and for the observer at rest. There is no difference.
The velocity varied.
It is no different than having two people moving at the same speed going through the tunnel with poles of different lengths.
With poles of different lengths you get a different appearance.
All that has changed is the length of the pole. That causes a different appearance. Nothing has happened in terms of the order of events.
Some of the rules of relativity are:
- There is no preferred reference frame.
- All observations from different observers in different frames are equally valid.
If you have three such observers in three different reference frames then one can observe that event A precedes event B, one can observe that events A and B are simultaneous, and one can observe that event B precedes event A. All are equally valid observations.
