Description

In the ultralocal limit along timelike geodesics, any geometry is perceived as Bianchi I. It is shown that, in general, this limit does not extend to non-geodesic timelike observers. We discuss exceptions, including particles with variable mass, test particles in Einstein frame scalar-tensor gravity, and self-interacting dark matter.
