To-do list for Democratic principle: edit  · history  · watch  · refresh

Tasks for expert:

  • write and link to an article comparing various possible measures of distance in cosmology, to explain the reference to the multiplicity of possible definition of distance even in a given Cauchy hyperslice,
  • write and improve proper article on ADM formalism and Cauchy hyperslice, for more neccessary background,
  • write and improve article on gravitomagnetism and various different GEM formalisms, making sure to carefully explain how they are related to one another and what assumptions they employ (don't forget Bel decomposition!),
  • expand discussion to include explicit computations according to flat space democratic principle, including examples which work as expected and examples which do not,
  • in particular, exbibit nonzero vorticity, diverging integrals, and other problems mentioned in current version.

[edit] Ill-definition

The current version of this article fails to clarify the role of "distance" in computing the weights applied to each term (vote) before adding up the terms. This is of course a key weakness, since no-one seems able to explain what notion of distance is to be used here or why this notion would be physically preferred to all other possibilities. ---CH 23:47, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
