Abstract
We present a model for self-coupled scalar fields which, when solved subject to a self-consistent constraint, exhibits the same diagrammatic structure as the covariantly quantized Einstein theory of gravity. The graviton appears naturally as a dynamical Goldstone boson. Formal expressions for the graviton propagator, as well as scalar-graviton and graviton-graviton vertices, are derived.
