  We show that the solution of a pre-geometric strongly coupled quantum
mechanical model describing K D-particles in the presence of N D4-branes in
type IIA string theory, at fixed K and large N, yields an effective action
describing the motion of the K D-particles in a classical ten-dimensional
curved space-time. By comparing the effective action with the non-abelian
D-brane action in an arbitrary supergravity background, we identify the metric,
dilaton and Ramond-Ramond fields and find a precise match with the near-horizon
D4-brane geometry.
