On page 180, equation 47 shows exactly what the Ricci tensor is

LOL, what happens in Eq.(44) to the S_uv if we
permit "g" to be positive and a function of
velocity,

In equations (44),

** G_uv = Ricci tensor, complete
** R_uv = Ricci tensor, if determinant of g = -1
** S_uv = 0, if determinant of g = -1

Levi-Civita was truly an amazing mathematician to be able to write the
Ricci tensor into that form.

such as g = +(1-v^2) ?

The determinant of g must be negative. If you insist on the nonsense
in your imagination, you are on your own.
