The equivalence principle postulates a frame. This implies globally special and locally general relativity. It is proposed here that spacetime emerges from the gauge potential of translations, whilst the Lorenz symmetry is gauged into the interactions of the particle sector. This is, though more intuitive, the opposite to the standard formulation of gravity, and seems to lead to conceptual and technical improvements of the theory.
