The generalized matter current — decomposing into spin, dilation, and shear — conjugate to the affine connection in [[entity-metric-affine-gauge-theory-of-gravity|Metric-Affine Gauge Theory of Gravity]]. First vault encounter: the 2026-10-02 capture of Kartik Tiwari's arXiv:2609.38292, where hypermomentum couplings (or their absence) are the technical crux of whether the [[entity-geometric-trinity|Geometric Trinity's]] equivalence claim survives.
