+    \begin{itemize}
+      \item We want DG method:
+      \begin{itemize}
+        \item a {\color{blue}first order} formulation is needed, like the generalized harmonic (GH) formulation.
+      \end{itemize}
+      \item We want moving puncture evolution:
+      \begin{itemize}
+        \item the {\color{blue}moving puncture gauge condition} is needed, and not compatible with the GH formulation.
+        \item People usually use BSSN, Z4c or CCZ4 formulation for moving puncture evolutions, but they are second order in space, and not directly suitable for DG method.
+      \end{itemize}
+        \item We want stable evolution:
+        \begin{itemize}
+          \item a {\color{blue}strongly hyperbolic} formulation is needed.
+          \item {\color{blue} constraint damping} is needed.
+        \end{itemize}
+    \end{itemize}
+    $\implies$ we need to find a first order, strongly hyperbolic formulation of Einstein's equations with constraint damping and compatible with the moving puncture gauge condition.
