contents The Einstein-Bianchi system uses symmetric and traceless tensors to reformulate Einstein's original field equations. However, preserving these algebraic constraints simultaneously remains a challenge for numerical methods. This paper proposes a new formulation that treats the linearized Einstein-Bianchi system (near the trivial Minkowski metric) as the Hodge wave equation associated with the conformal Hessian complex. To discretize this equation, a conforming finite element conformal Hessian complex that preserves symmetry and traceless-ness simultaneously is constructed on general three-dimensional tetrahedral grids, and its exactness is proven.
