ABSTRACT: We develop the strong-field and higher-order expansion framework for the NUVO scalar geometry. Starting from the nonlinear field equation

to second and third order in the post-Newtonian hierarchy. The resulting expressions establish the analytic structure required to compute the post-Newtonian parameters
