<Jacob Bekenstein> developed <tensor-vector-scalar gravity>, a relativistic theory intended to realize <modified Newtonian dynamics>. The construction supplements the <metric tensor> with dynamical <scalar fields> and <vector fields>.
A nonrelativistic rule for stellar <motion> alone does not determine how <light> bends. His 2004 theory addressed both slow-particle <dynamics> and <gravitational lensing>, while examining the high-<acceleration> limit and Solar-System tests. This made the proposal a broader physical framework with multiple observational consequences, rather than merely a fit to a <galaxy rotation curve>.<Relativistic gravitation theory for the MOND paradigm by Jacob Bekenstein>[Abstract: dynamical fields, Newtonian and MOND limits, post-Newtonian tests and lensing]{ref}
