The Coordinate Conditions and the Equations of Motion

The problem of the field equations and the equations of motion in general relativity theory is now sufficiently clarified. The equations of motion can be deduced from pure field equations by treating matter as singularities, [2; 3], or from field equations with the energy momentum tensor [4]. Recently two papers appeared in which the problem of the coordinate system was considered [5; 8]. The two papers are in general agreement as far as the role of the coordinate system is concerned. Yet there are some differences which require clarification.
