We postulate the free energy functional and show that its extremization is equivalent to solving the Einstein's field equations. A self-gravitating fermion gas we then describe by a set of Thomas-Fermi type self-consistency equations.7 pages, LaTexGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyFree Energy of Gravitating Fermionstext
