Abstract

We propose a statement of the observable implications of the equivalence principle that is precise and general rather than allusive and illustrative. This statement is derived from previously formulated principles of special-relativistic presymmetry. The substantial identity of our result with Einstein's curved-space formulation is exhibited.
