Abstract: Numerical relativity describes a discrete initial value problem for general relativity. A choice of gauge involves slicing spacetime into space-like hypersurfaces. This introduces past and future gauge relative to the hypersurface of present time. Here, we propose solving the discretized Einstein equations with a choice of gauge in the future and a dynamical gauge in the past. The method is illustrated on a polarized Gowdy wave.
