Abstract
This note includes five sections. In section 2 a number of aesthetically motivated f(R) Lagrangians is proposed and frivolously explored in the metric formalism with variable Newton constant G(x). In section 3 the idea of deforming the terms in a given f(R) gravity-matter action S, and prior to extremizing it, is promoted with the aim of reducing S via an algebraic mixing between few selected gravity and matter terms without invoking new fields. The result of this is a number of constraint equations among the fields and often eccentric looking field equations derived from the reduced action. Section 4 has a similar upshot as section 3 but the difference is the action term mixing is carried out only after extremizing S and prior to any integration by part. Section 5 pertains to G(x) ontology where various personal views on G(x) gravity are expressed in the context of the Standard Model…
