Abstract
Interactions with ordinary matter of a flux of high-speed uncharged dark matter particles pervasively present in space are examined. In this model, we find that the property of matter that we designate as mass becomes a measure of the interaction cross section of ordinary matter with the flux of dark matter. From this model emerge both a flux-mediated attractive inverse-square force between particles of ordinary matter as well as a characteristic nondeterministic behavior of ordinary matter that originates from statistical variations in the flux. The occurrence of effects similar to gravitational phenomena and effects similar to quantum phenomena in this model may enable a straightforward examination of the convergence of gravitational physics and quantum mechanics.
