    Supports→Arbitrary particles (not just freely falling ones) must be used in the axioms that establish the local differential structure of spacetime

    The set of freely falling particle paths P_f can only be properly characterized after a coordinate system (differential structure) is available

    It is important to emphasize that the members of \(\mathcal{P}\) represent possible or actual paths of arbitrary massive particles that may have some internal structure such as higher order gravitational and electromagnetic multipole moments and that may therefore interact in complicated ways with various physical fields. In order to constructively establish the projective structure of spacetime, it is necessary to single out a subset of \(\mathcal{P}\), namely \(\mathcal{P}_{f}\), the set of po
