13. We remark that, in our present analogue gravity context, the analogue inflaton field emerges naturally (as a phonon mode), and is not introduced ad hoc into the theory.

37. Note, however, that an attractive 1/r "gravity" interaction between the atoms may be induced by shining off-resonant intense laser beams onto a BEC: D. O'Dell, S. Giovanazzi, G. Kurizki, and V. M. Akulin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5687 (2000). Such a deviation from the usual dilute-gas contact interaction can in principle give rise to a (classical) gravitational "clumping" tendency which is analogous to the Jeans instability.
