To be clearer what I meant was, changed from a the state that would be at
that location if there was not a mass present. Is that clearer and more
accurate?
Or would you have a more accurate word to use. ?

Yes I would perhaps say that matter was a deformation in the above sense and
that this deformation included the deformation we call gravity ?

This I have a problem with as I see geometry as a mathematical description
of a physical state and the geometry must comply with the physical state to
be factual. Is that description ok with you ?

I dont see that anology at the moment.

I think I'm able to see and isolate by restricting my view a section of a
field generated by mass or charge and evaluate it independent of is source.

I do agree that a imaginary geometry may be of intellectual interest but a
working geometry needs to relate factual to its physical base ?

Thank you for your considered reply.

Maybe updates. (1-(1/(1/3))^2)/(1 + (1/(1/3))^2) = - 0.08 = FTL ? -p<+p or
(m*-v)<(m*+v) or (m*-c^2)<(m*+c^2) =g?
