This paper presents a mechanical program for creating, measuring, and controlling effective inertia within the Chronoflux framework. Inertia is treated as an emergent property generated by resistance within a conserved temporal continuum in four dimensional spacetime. A precise zero inertia condition is derived in terms of invariants of the temporal flow, together with actuation and metrology architectures that allow practical tuning of the effective mass parameter mₑff = η m₀ with η in the range from zero to large values. Stability, causality, and energy conservation conditions are proven for the limit η → 0, and a staged experimental program is outlined. The construction derives the inertia map directly from the conserved temporal current and provides a consistent route from first principles to implementable inertial control.
