Abstract

It is shown that a combination of the methods developed in the two previous papers in the series allows the reformulation of general relativity as a technique for extrapolating physical theory to distant regions, whose accessibility to experiment is limited. General relativity is thus shown to be one of a number of extrapolation theories allowed by the spread theory of Paper II.
