" Orbit computations must use true, instantaneous positions of all masses when computing accelerations due to gravity for the reason given by Eddington."

The fields already exist. The Earth basically follows the geometry of space due to the presence of the energy of the bodies contained within that space. The Sun being the major energy body, is the object that is cheifly responsible for the curvature of the space around it. It's akin to laying tracks. The Earth follows the track in space laid down by the Sun. The Sun does not radiate gravity, as it does light.
