<p>[01:10:23] Let's get started. We take $$X^4$$, we need metrics. We have none. We're not allowed to choose one. So we do the standard trick. We choose them all.

<p>[01:10:36] So we allow $$U^{14}$$ to equal the space of metrics on $$X^4$$ pointwise. Therefore, if we propagate on top of this, let me call this the projection operator. If we propagate on $$U^{14}$$ we are, in some sense, following a Feynman-like idea of propagating over the space of all metrics, but not at a field level, at a pointwise tensorial level.
