In four space‐time dimensions, there exists an infinite‐parameter family of neighbors of Einstein’s equations. The action is formulated in terms of an SO(3) vector potential. It is proven that the space‐time metric can be computed from the SO(3) field strength by means of a parameter‐independent formula with a clear geometrical meaning.
