Scientific paper

An approach is developed which enables one to analyze gravitational effects without usage of any concrete model of geometry (or a class of models of geometry) of space-time and even without any coordinate system. Instead, the formalism of the group of paths is used. An element of this group (a class of curves in Minkowski space) is associated with each curve in the curved space-time and called its `flat model'. The analysis of observational data in terms of flat models of closed curves is interpreted as a formalization of the analysis which a `naive observer' (knowing nothing about the space-time being curved) applies to his observations.
