@Quentin. Yes, is solipsism. But not in the way you think. As God, I live all the possible lives. So even though is just Me, God, there are nevertheless an infinity of instantiations of myself. So even though strictly speaking it is solipsism, practically speaking it is as if it is not solipsis

Wiki states it's a linear function of two variables whose domain is the vector space of velocity vectors on the tangent plane at some point P, say, on a spacetime manifold. But assuming we know the function, given by its 4x4 matrix representation defined on some coordinate system, which pair of
