What does "over determination" mean?
I have come across instances of the phrase "over determination" in discussing Einstein's attempt at a unified field theory.
For example:
"Again and again, Einstein returned to the question of whether one could obtain the quantum of action from an over determination of the field variables."
-- Jagdish Mehra, "Einstein, Hilbert and the Theory of Gravitation"
