Yes. If they want to write a nice fantasy story, they should definitely have their own ideas. But that's not how you science.[works]
Here fantastic story involving gravity on a system that formed in a shrinking cloud:

Out of a primordial cloud shrunk this system of 2 disks at 90 degrees to each other, having then formed into a planet forming ring on one hand , and a binary star pair. but,
still stretching back billions of lightyears away from this central feature is the
gravity ( field, spacetime warp, measurable strength) pick one please, or insert your choice.. but
here is where nebel's analogy of tree rings, a stiff gravity residue fails, is amended:
Imagine the stirrings that particles in that ring experience, as the gravity(-----)from those stars pass through and near them, again and again. Resonances from those gravity(-----) changes must travelling out into the furthest reaches, the size of that original cloud.
There it is nebel's model is limited in its unmovable residue version only to "stationary central masses situations.
The gravity(-----) still existing out there, is in this case not pictured as a rigid crust, but like a tensioned membrane,or jellied mass, that 2 stars,like drumsticks can resonate on/in.
nebel learning all the time using his flights of fancy foregoing formulae.and mental and real pictures. thanks for viewing.
