Facets:
value: on any prior geometry
type: OTHER
Source sentences:
text: Whether this theory should be background-independent is an open question.
text: Diffeomorphisms are the true symmetry transformations of general relativity, and come about from the assertion that the formulation of the theory is based on a bare differentiable manifold, but not on any prior geometry — the theory is background-independent
