First off, the gravitational energy is not a direct component in the stress-energy tensor that serves as a &quot;source&quot; for gravitational curvature. So it is formally incorrect to say that the gravitational potential energy is a source for gravity. However, the Einstein equations are not linear the way the Maxwell equations are, and you can maybe interpret these nonlinearities as a self-interaction of the gravitational field, causing gravity to be a source of gravity. But the analogy does not seem to be as easy as just saying…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1405.6091/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
