Abstract: A pseudoisotopy of $M$ is a diffeomorphism of $MimesI$ which is the identity on $Mimes0$. We give an explicit construction of pseudoisotopies of 4-manifolds which realize certain elements of the "second obstruction to pseudoisotopy". The next paper will give precise statements of our results for 5-manifolds which had been announced long ago.
