====Change of frame==== In order to extend ''Ο'' to a suitable global object, it is necessary to examine how it behaves when a different choice of basic sections of ''E'' is chosen. Write ''Ο''<sub>''Ξ±''</sub><sup>''Ξ²''</sup> = ''Ο''<sub>''Ξ±''</sub><sup>''Ξ²''</sup>('''e''') to indicate the dependence on the choice of '''e'''. Suppose that '''e'''{{prime}} is a different choice of local basis. Then there is an invertible ''k'' Γ ''k'' matrix of functions ''g'' such that :<math>{\mathbf e}' = {\mathbf e}\, g,\quad \text{i.e., }\,e'_\alpha = \sum_\beta e_\beta g^\beta_\alpha.</math> Applying the exterior connection to both sides gives the transformation law for ''Ο'': :<math>\omega(\mathbf e\, g) = g^{-1}dg+g^{-1}\omega(\mathbf e)g.</math> Note in particular that ''Ο'' fails to transform in a [[tensor]]ial manner, since the rule for passing from one frame to another involves the derivatives of the transition matrix ''g''.
