With vb​=vγ​ at leading order and cs2​=1/[3(1+R)], the photon continuity equation and total Euler equation give δ¨γ​+R˙δ˙γ​/(1+R)+k2δγ​/[3(1+R)]=4ϕ¨​+4R˙ϕ˙​/(1+R)−4k2ψ/3. The baryon loading parameter changes inertia and shifts the gravitational equilibrium. The leading equations omit diffusion damping.
