Abstract
Weyl‐type gauge geometry based on gauging by GL(4, R) and presented in an earlier paper is developed from an alternative point of view, which emphasizes independent geometric objects as the building blocks. This approach avoids most of the elaborate calculations of the earlier paper, and thus contributes to an intuitive understanding. The new building blocks, which are the metric and two different affine connections, uniquely determine the tensorial structures of the earlier paper, and vice versa.Keywords
