I left off by making an unproven assumption that spacial distortion had the same effects as fields. These effects include independence from mass, a bell curve strength graph and general stability. By general stability, I mean that a field holds together in space. The bell curve graph of strength means that a field is strongest in the center, falls off rapidly by the inverse square law and graphing this property would produce a graph that looks like a bell. Now I am back where I started.
It is important to note that modeling gravity as a bowl relies on gravity to complete the model. Gravity is the force that pulls the object down the sides of the bowl. Most models of gravity have this problem. You look at the model and the movement of the object makes perfect sense because that is the way that gravity will move the object in the model. There has to be a clearer way to write that last line.
My first point was that distorted space behaves with independence from mass. What I mean by this is that a field reacts on the space containing an object instead of acting directly on the object itself. A massive battleship would be effected by a field in the same way as a helium balloon of the same size. The difference in behavior would not be a matter of mass on the field but the effect of factors other than the field. Objects are moved by a field at a standard rate.
I model gravity’s pull as an imbalance in compression. The part of the object closer to the center of gravity is more compressed. This compression moves that line of atoms away from the next row of atoms, further from the center of the field. Whatever causes the collection of atoms to act as though they were part of a solid body will then have to move the less compressed atoms toward the more compressed atoms. Movement results as rows of atoms advance into the field.
The bell curve modeling is a bit more complex to explain. Distortion centers on its source. Since the distortion effects the points that it touches, the greatest effect of the field is in the points that it directly touches in the center. As it moves outward, the field has less and less direct contact with the points that it is effecting. It is the effected points that effect the next set of points.
