Orthonormal bases correspond to locally inertial frames. For each basis of orthonormal vectors there is a corresponding basis of orthonormal one-forms ... observer’s tetrad. This basis is the natural one for splitting vectors, one-forms, and tensors into timelike and spacelike parts. We use the observer’s tetrad to extract physical, measurable quantities...
