We argue that the existence of solitons in theories in which local symmetries are spontaneously broken requires spacetime to be enlarged by additional coordinates that are associated with large local transformations. In the context of gravity theories the usual coordinates of spacetime can be thought of arising in this way. E theory automatically contains such an enlarged spacetime. We propose that spacetime appears in an underlying theory when the local symmetries are spontaneously broken.

    A constraint on the gauge parameters of E theory is proposed that closes the algebra of local transformations; in the IIA level-zero sector it differs from the section conditions of double field theory.
