Ehlers extended this work by developing a frame theory that allowed for constructing the Newton Cartan limit, and in a mathematically precise way, not only for the physical laws, but for any spacetime obeying those laws (that is, solutions of Einstein's equations).
As Haag (1996) concedes, the "algebraic approach has given us a frame and a language not a theory".
The old adage of Schrödinger's Cat is often used to frame a basic concept of quantum theory.
