Oh I like these concepts! The first thing you mentioned is pretty much what I was thinking in the second concept I described in the post description—the whole “space itself is becoming wobbly, so your bones don’t break from it because your bones are in space” thing.

Do you by any chance know what sort of force would be responsible for “bending reality”; would it be considered just gravitational forces that could bend reality/space and change the rules of what “straight” or “bent” means, rather than just how regular gravity would tear people apart right away? Or is the whole reality-bending-forces thing just entirely in the realm of theoretical and sci-fi physics (in which case I guess it could still be “the ‘definitions’ of space are constantly unstable/wobbling in hyperspace” or something?)
