You got me Tensor, I don't even know where to start to look for "second order term of the equations" in GR!
However, if you or someone have references where I can start, I'd love to follow up on this, especially if it shows "causality" for GR equations for Mercury's precession. Nothing ATM here, just curious about how Einstein's 4 dimensional geometry causes "causality". Thanks.
