Move the positive cosmological constant to the source side and defineTo first order about Minkowski spacetime, . Its contribution to the trace-reversed source isRepeating the Newtonian limit of general relativity calculation givesFor a point mass, , soThe radial acceleration isThus positive supplies an outward acceleration and balances the point-mass attraction at the static radiusThe weak-field approximation requires both and , giving parametrically
