The passage around this formula
…than between their average values [ 1 ] . Model that operator, call it , as = m(1 + /m) , where is the system’s internal Hamiltonian, and let the gravitational mass be = for some violation operator acting on the internal, and for two-body tests the joint, Hilbert space. Expand that operator and, the paper argues, exactly five structurally distinct pieces fall out:
