# A Local Resolution of the Problem of Time. VI. Combining Temporal and   Configurational Relationalism for Field Theories and GR

**Authors:** Edward Anderson

arXiv: 1906.03635 · 2019-06-11

## TL;DR

This paper advances the resolution of the Problem of Time by integrating Temporal and Configurational Relationalism within Field Theories and General Relativity, introducing new notation and expanding on key concepts like superspace and the thin sandwich.

## Contribution

It presents a combined approach to Temporal and Configurational Relationalism applicable to Field Theories and GR, with new notation and detailed discussion of foundational concepts.

## Key findings

- Unified framework for Temporal and Configurational Relationalism
- Introduction of portmanteau notation for finite and field theories
- Enhanced understanding of GR's Riem, superspace, and thin sandwich

## Abstract

We next combine Temporal and Configurational Relationalism's resolution for Field Theory, including in particular for GR. The current Article also provides the finite-and-field theory portmanteau notation, by which the rest of this series' reworking of the Principles of Dynamics can be presented concurrently for Finite Theories and Field Theories. GR's Riem, superspace, and thin sandwich are also further outlined in support of the rest of this Series.
