GR is a tensor theory.  There is no preferred coordinate frame and no
privileged coordinate system.  The ten field equations are
elliptic-hyperbolic.  Ashtekhar cleaved GR into two chiral parts.  As
with "La Coupe du Roi" the parts assemble into an achiral whole.

Pentcho Valev is a perseverative spaming idiot, Stamenin is merely a
fool.
