The structure "Finslerian teleparallelism" might have been anticipated through a deeper implementation of the ideas that led to great progress in differential geometry in the 20th century. That structure's significance is manifested through the Kähler calculus of differential forms. Based on Clifford algebra, this calculus supersedes Élie Canan's. It revolves around Kähler's equation, a generalization of Dirac's. The juncture of geometry and the calculus is to be understood in the sense that, through the aforementioned implementation, one can create a Kaluza-Klein type structure where the torsion part of the structural equations is given by a fully geometric Kähler equation. Its input is the differential form whose exterior covariant derivative is precisely the torsion in its role as output differential form, thus yielding a closed geometric system of structural equations.
