  The classical theory of gravity predicts its own demise -- singularities. We
therefore attempt to quantize gravitation, and present here a new approach to
the quantization of gravity wherein the concept of time is derived by imposing
the constraints as expectation-value equations over the true dynamical degrees
of freedom of the gravitational field -- a representation of the underlying
anisotropy of space. This self-consistent approach leads to qualitatively
different predictions than the Dirac and the ADM quantizations, and in
addition, our theory avoids the interpretational conundrums associated with the
problem of time in quantum gravity. We briefly describe the structure of our
functional equations, and apply our quantization technique to two examples so
as to illustrate the basic ideas of our approach.
