Dead on Arrival. Idiot. Spacetime is covariant with no coordinate
background. The four-vector is conserved. Nothign moves in
four-space. Einstein-Cartan spacetime is more general than the
Poincaré group.

Hell, you jackass, diffeomorphism with topological invariants is more
general than the Poincaré group.
