Thought experiment:

Einstein's elevator.

In an elevator sitting on the ground on Earth, gravity would be measured
as higher near the floor than the ceiling, given sufficiently sensitive
equipment. (1/d^2)

Accelerating the elevator at 1G, there won't be the difference in "gravity" from
the ceiling to the floor.

What does that mean with regards to "locality"?  Is that just a measure of
how sensitive the instruments you're carrying are?  Or...?
