I like your "squeeze" model of space time, it makes sense. If I understand it, if an object is alone in space time, the squeeze would be equall on all sides. As soon as two object come within range of each other the displaced fields would reduce the squeeze in the direction of the other object. At that point the force acting on the objects would be unequal. The objects would start to drift towards each other. The closer they get, the greater the force. Also displaced space time explains why light is affected by gravity. It's not the gravity thats acting on the light, but the fact light has to pass through a dense patch of space time. Because the speed of light is limited it takes longer to pass through compressed space. If a beam of light passes by a large mass, it forces it to curve. Like driving the right half of a car through mud. It tends to pull you in.
