Abstract
A brane world model is investigated, in which there are many branes that may intersect and self intersect. One of the branes, being a 3-brane, represents our spacetime, while the other branes, if they intersect our brane world, manifest themselves as matter in our 3-brane. It is shown that such a matter encompasses dust of point particles and higher dimensional p-branes, and all those objects follow "geodesics" in the world volume swept by our 3-brane. We also point point out that such a model can be formulated in a background independent way, and that the kinetic term for gravity arises from quantum fluctuation of the brane.
