Abstract: The space-bending properties of mass in normal space are well described by Einstein's general relativity. Such distortions, however, are complicated by the anomalous quantum gravitational effects in Shaw-Fujikawa (SF) spaces. Using loop-string analysis, it can be shown that a large mass bends space in SF space more than general relativity predicts by an order of magnitude. This bending may explain how several objects clustered closely together in SF space have been reported erroneously as a single larger mass.

Trivia
Though the paper is attributed to "Lieutenant Commander Fhajad-084", Halo: Initiation reveals that Fhajad took the alias "Musa" at some point after his discharge from the Spartans.
