For scalar metric potentials ds2=a2[−(1+2A)dτ2+2B,i​dτdxi+((1−2ψ)δij​+2E,ij​)dxidxj] and positive extrinsic curvature, δKij​=a−1[−(ψ′+HA)δij​+∂i∂j​(E′−B)]. The scalar shear terms cancel between its divergence and trace gradient. With ji​=−Pμi​Tμν​nν, the momentum constraint becomes 2∂i​(ψ′+HA)/a=−8πGji​. Reversing the convention for K reverses the geometric left side.
