We present the reconstruction method of $f(R)$ gravity for the homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi-I spacetime, which was previously formulated only for homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker spacetime. We argue in this paper that for anisotropic spacetimes, the total anisotropy behaves as an independent metric degree of freedom (d.o.f.) on top of …
