It is a fact that, none of the diverse coordinate systems unified in the Post-Newtonian formalism used to describe the exterior Schwarzschild field can be regarded as being materialized by a reference frame. Only the polar Gaussian coordinates (ρ, ϑ, ϕ, t), or their naturally associated Fermi coordinates, can be shown to have this property (Synge, 1960).
