In my model, every fundamental particle consists of pairs or groups of ethereal shear waves orbiting one another at the speed of light. When a particle accelerates, the center around which its constituent shear waves orbit is what accelerates; the shear waves themselves continue to orbit at the speed of light. The momentum of the particle is the sum of momenta of its constituent shear waves, so the force acting on the particle does so by acting on the shear waves and thereby altering their momenta.
Ethereal shear waves, which propagate at the speed of light, exchange momentum with ethereal pressure waves (dark energy), which propagate at the speed of gravity. The character of that exchange depends on the magnitude, wavelength, phase angle and polarity of the shear wave and pressure wave relative to one another. This is quite different from the random scattering of gravitons in LeSage type models.
Because that exchange of momentum is non-random, two shear waves can "see" one another as either brighter or darker against an otherwise uniform background of shear waves. If the two shear waves are in each other's plane of polarity and in phase with one another, they may be attracted, in another plane and polarity configuration they might repel. Working out details of just how these forces depend on phase, polarity, etc., may involve thousands of future carreers in a new science. I can only suggest that that science be invented by someone, perhaps in another century or two.
I suspect that an orbiting pair of shear waves is surrounded by a rapidly precessing conical pattern of brighter and darker regions of the affected pressure waves. Within a certain distance, certain groups of particles (quarks) may be attracted or repelled by the weak nuclear force. Other groups of particles at other distance are affected by the strong nuclear force because of different pattern surrounding them. These forces do not act at greater distances because of the complex geometry of their effects on the flux of pressure waves.
Looking at the acceleration of a particle in a gravitational field, we have greater flux of pressure waves from one direction than from another. I suspect that free shear waves might accelerate in different directions, depending on their phase and polarity in relation to the net flux of pressure waves. Shear waves which are bound in particles are precessing rapidly so acceleration averages out, and the net acceleration is toward the deficit of pressure waves.
