... Closer to + GI is Andrei Sakharov's theory of induced or rather emergent gravity, because in Sakharov (1968) he doesn't even use the terms 'induced' or 'induction', so it's misleading. But other than this brief attempt to describe gravitation as non-fundamental by making general relativity emerge from the elasticity of an underlying quantum-vacuum field-an approach recently further developed by Verlinde, see Section 13.3-± GI is not a universal theory of gravitation but the description of two additional gravitational fields that emerge only under certain circumstances and can, in principle, be integrated into Newton's laws and in Einstein's field equations. ...
