.........the increased curvature propagates as a wave outward from the place you pull on, at some measurable rate..........

.......like making a wave in the the sheets when you make your bed by injecting a wave of air underneath them. This I knew, but was somehow having a hard time incorporating this into the model.

However, like photons being responsible for the transference of the electromagnetic force, where then are the Gravitons, the particles responsible for this force?

If there are gravitons, then it would appear these quanta effect spacetime directly rather than the mass in spacetime directly.
