Deur's models, in general, do not change the Einstein Field Equation and do not postulate any different "source" of spacetime curvature as compared to standard GR. His basic idea is simply taking into account properties of particular solutions of that equation (such as disk-shaped rather than spherical gravitational sources) that other researchers had ignored on the assumption that they were too small to matter, whereas Deur attempts to show that that is not the case, that those properties do matter, and that taking them into account means the visible matter in galaxies can account for things like their rotation curves, using the standard Einstein Field Equation, without having to add invisible (dark) matter to the gravitational sources. (In some of his proposed models, as noted above, he does add quantum gravity effects that aren't present in classical GR.)
