I had to ask chatgpt to summarize a couple of papers on the topic.

The "theory of informatons" is a conceptual framework introduced by Antoine Acke to explain gravitational interactions through the emission of hypothetical entities called "informatons." According to this theory, material objects emit informatons—massless and energy-less particles—that propagate at the speed of light, carrying information about the position and velocity of their source. The accumulation of informatons in space forms a cloud that represents the gravitational field of the emitting object.

In the article "Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation Explained by the Theory of Informatons," Acke proposes that the gravitational force between two masses arises from the interaction of their informatons clouds. This perspective offers an alternative explanation to Newton's law, suggesting that gravitational attraction results from the exchange of information via informatons rather than a direct action-at-a-distance force.

The second article, "The Gravitational Interaction Between Moving Mass Particles Explained by the Theory of Informatons," extends this concept to dynamic systems. It posits that moving masses emit informatons that not only convey information about their position and velocity but also about their motion. The interaction of these informatons clouds between moving particles leads to gravitational effects that depend on both the masses and their relative velocities.

This approach aligns with the idea that gravitational interactions can be understood through information exchange, resonating with concepts in information theory and entropy in physics. While the theory of informatons is not widely adopted in mainstream physics, it represents an innovative attempt to conceptualize gravitational phenomena through the lens of information transfer.

For a more detailed exploration of these ideas, you can refer to Acke's publications:

    "Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation Explained by the Theory of Informatons"
    SCIRP

    "Gravitation Explained by the Theory of Informatons"
    Vixra
These works provide mathematical formulations and further discussions on how informatons are hypothesized to mediate gravitational interactions.
