Abstract
In contrast with pseudo-gravitational effects that are mathematically analogous but physically quite distinct from gravity, this presentation deals with a kind of quasi-gravitational effect that can act in an asymmetrically moving brane worldsheet in a manner that approximates (and in a crude analysis might be physically indistinguishable from) the effect that would arise from genuine gravitation, of ordinary Newtonian type in nonrelativistic applications and of scalar–tensor (Jordan–Brans–Dicke rather than pure Einstein) type in relativistic applications.
