WRONG Sherlock! the COORDINATES have been ELIMINATED
from the problem, and we are talking about only the PURE LENGTHS
between the n points (which can be measured with a tape measure).....
no talk of "coordinates" is allowed.... there ARE NO coordinates in the
problem. It turns out that all these distances cannot be "arbitrarally
selected".... because the Metric procribes what some of them have
to be by "triangulation" from a smaller number of "arbitrally selected"
values. Hence, it is the properties of the METRIC which ultimately
determines the "shape" of the configuration.
   The beauty of Einstein's proof (loc. cit) is that it ELIMINATES
the coordinates from the discussion, and shows definitively that
the METRIC constrains, or determines (causes) certain mathematical
relations between the n(n-1)/2 distances between n points, and
therefore it is the METRIC which ultimately determines the
geometric appearance of a configuration of n points.
 You better clean your glasses and take another look at what
you are talking about.
