The dominant component of the non-gravitational acceleration is in the radial direction away from the Sun. A simple way to incorporate it is to consider 3I/ATLAS as accelerating in response to a slightly reduced mass of the Sun, by a fraction of Δ. If 3I/ATLAS is surrounded by a swarm of objects that do not share its non-gravitational acceleration, then these objects will tend to be closer to the Sun relative to 3I/ATLAS, because 3I/ATLAS is pushed away from the Sun relative to the objects through its non-gravitational acceleration.
