  93    This is the key intermediate step in the Hilbert variation.
  94    We state it as a structural proposition. -/

 102    This is a standard identity from the Jacobi formula for determinants. -/

 111/-- The Hilbert variation theorem as a certificate:
 112    1. The EH action is well-defined (R * sqrt(-g) / (2kappa))
 113    2. delta(sqrt(-g)) = -(1/2) sqrt(-g) g_{mu nu} delta g^{mu nu}  (Jacobi)
 114    3. delta R_{mu nu} = nabla terms (Palatini)
 115    4. Combining: delta S_EH / delta g^{mu nu} = G_{mu nu} * sqrt(-g) / (2kappa)
