"Einstein assumed nature to be such that the total four-dimensional interval between any two events, when computed from event to event along the actual succession, has a maximum value."

No matter in space and time, only intervals between events.

This book with some statements like the above provides a good distillation of relativity.

Argues that the ether is not ruled out by relativity only that it is not needed for it, I would agree if it is qualified that a mechanical ether is indeed ruled out but not some sort of luminiferous ether.
