We present a $3+1$ formulation of the effective field theory framework called the standard model extension in the gravitational sector. The explicit local Lorentz and diffeomorphism symmetry breaking assumption is adopted, and we perform a Dirac-Hamiltonian analysis. We show that the structure of the dynamics presents significant differences from general relativity and other modified gravity models. We explore Hamilton's equations for some special choices of the coefficients. Our main application is cosmology, and we present the modified Friedmann equations for this case. The results show some intriguing modifications to standard cosmology. In addition, we compare our results to existing frameworks and models, and we comment on the potential impact to other areas of gravitational theory and phenomenology.
