What is "field" in this context? Do you mean "medium", perchance?

Can you show us how that works?

As far as I understand, inhomogeneity of the medium yields refraction.

What if we have a spherical wave?

Are you saying that different parts of the same wave affect each? Is this some sort of action at a distance, or have you something like a double slit setup in mind?

This can be visualized as the "pucker" "pulling" on the field.

Sorry, but this is just word salad.

Since when do lenses change the frequency of the light?

Waves in this harmony with each other are called baryonic matter. Dark matter is waves that don't harmonize with baryonic matter but do cause anisotropic refraction of baryonic matter.
I think you need to study more rigorously the behaviour of waves.
