Can Length contraction be modified to give a general distortion?

Length contraction gives the distortion of a moving object in the direction of motion. It may be possible to modify length contraction to give a general distortion. General distortion is represented by an angle of deformation.

Acceleration is represented as a wave function. This is also a distribution. This results in distributed force and distributed potential.

Two massive objects interact indirectly by an intersection of their potential energies within a region of space.
 
Can general distortion is represented by an angle of deformation?

In Special Relativity, an object is distorted along the direction of travel, as seen by an observer in another frame of reference. This cannot be used to produce a general distortion.

Similarly, an object traveling at relativistic speeds sees space around it distorted in a complex but characteristic manner. Again this cannot produce an arbitrary general distortion.
See:

In General Relativity, the view of objects is distorted in a comple way by a strong gravitational field (eg near a galaxy or black hole).
Again the type of distortion is quite characteristic, so general distortions don't happen.
