This chapter describes the general covariant modulation (GCM) procedure in detail. It considers an axially symmetric polarized spacetime region R foliated by two functions (u, s) such that: on R, (u, s) defines an outgoing geodesic foliation as in section 2.2.4. The chapter then outlines the elliptic Hodge lemma. It also looks at the deformations of S surfaces, frame transformations, and the existence of GCM spheres. It recalls the transformation formulas recorded in Proposition 2.90, before rewriting a subset of these transformations in a more useful form. In the proof of existence and uniqueness of GCMS, one needs, in addition to the equations derived so far, an equation for the average of α‎. Finally, the chapter discusses the construction of GCM hypersurfaces.
