The bimetric model with an informational metric tensor

Abstract

We consider a hybrid bimetric model where, in addition to the ordinary metric tensor that determines geometry, an informational metric is introduced to describe the reference frame of an observer. We note that the local information metric being Minkowskian explains one of the key aspects of the Einstein equivalence principle. Our approach has the potential to justify the three-dimensional nature of physical space and address the gravitational energy puzzle. Furthermore, it appears to be free of ghost instabilities in the matter sector, as the second metric tensor couples exclusively to the observer and is non-dynamical.
