Well said. And well understood.earls wrote:For one, remember that your "static object" is part of the "coordinate system", not an arbitrary separate manifestation riding above it. In such a case, it is the density of the coordinate system that dictates its behavior.
Call it a force field if you desire... The "curvature" or distortion of the coordinate system (field) models the force. The "appearance" of the force distorted field dictates the available behavior in the local region of distortion.
Siggy_G your diagrams are telling you the answer to the question. Your depictions of the "coordinate units ... fairly uniform" is the answer to your question. Although the diagrams present the "units" in relation to an object; as a linear 'slice'. The nearest approximation of the nature of "space", as represented by your "coordinate units", would be an ideally uniform distribution of [for example] the fine structure constant - in a 'lattice array' of equal "points". That is to say "charge" (both positive and negative) uniformly distributed as an oscillating lattice.

The nature of "charge" is to obtain equilibrium. The mCMB is the result of the 'lattice array' of "equally distributed charge" shedding energy in order to maintain that equilibrium. It ("space") is not an "object" because we know not the 'end' of it (if such a thing exist). It, the 'lattice' array' of equally distributed "charge' has a "jitter". It is in constant vibratory motion which when imparted to an object imparts spin (angular momentum).
This is also the "structure" of the "vacuum", the "virtual particles" of quantum physics which "pop in and out of existence". That "jitter" or 'popping' in and out of existence is the oscillatory vibration of 'something'. You have it linearly depicted there in your diagrams as the "coordinate units".
It, the 'lattice array of equally distributed "charge"' (assume the fine structure constant here if necessary) is analogous to sight. There are those aspects of the electromagnetic spectrum which do not fall within the necessary parameters to become visible. Yet we know the spectrum far exceeds those required parameters. Likewise, the physical condition does not perceive of the 'lattice'.
"Matter" is a 'phase-shift', (upon reaching some critical value ("scrunching")) of that 'lattice' - which then becomes resonantly 'phase-locked' electromagnetically displacing the "coordinate units". Which are then called "fields" i.e. the displacement of "charge" from is ideal uniform 'lattice' equilibrium (" broken symmetry").
"Space-Time" is simply Einstien's cantankerous way of trying to re-work that which preceded him.
