You have to think in terms of vector fields. the arrows, or derivatives of a field, describe the movement in a coordinate space. From here the first assertion.
the second comes from Newton's second law and the curvature of space as conceived by the minkowskian geometry.

As for the disoriented forces, don't seem clear to me, neither possible. you would have to specify a frame of reference.
