In {\S} 1 and {\S} 2, the author presents some philosophical and physical arguments supporting the hypothesis that the most fundamental self- interacting field in an amorphous space-time is the field of linear frames, i.e., the quadruple of vector bosons. In {\S} 3 and {\S} 4 he constructs a wide class of Lagrangian dynamical models invariant under the total group of diffeomorphisms and under the natural action of the proper linear group \(GL^+(4,{\mathbb{R}})\) on the tetrad field. There exist some links between these models and the Hamiltonian dynamical systems on \(GL^+(3,{\mathbb{R}})\) (the mechanics of affinely-rigid bodies). In these models, he presents the general form of field equations, conservation laws and Bianchi identities. There exist some formal similarities between these Lagrangians and those used in non-linear electrodynamics, in particular in the Born-Infeld theory. In {\S} 5 he also gives a few rough remarks concerning models invariant under natural subgroups of \(GL^+(4,{\mathbb{R}})\), i.e., under SL(4,\({\mathbb{R}})\) and SO(1,3;\({\mathbb{R}})\) (special linear group and Lorentz group). He has not derived as yet either mathematical or physical consequences of the presented model.
