DEFINITIONS - Gravity

Gravity

noun [grav-i-tee] • The Path of Least Reactance

In the Substrate Principia, Gravity is not a "Force" of attraction, nor is it the "Curvature of Spacetime." It is a Hydraulic Tendency: Energy seeks the non-reactive impedance contours within the Lumen.

Objects "fall" because the denser energy creates a Refractive Gradient in the Lattice. The gradient "shadows" the medium, creating a low-reactance duct that pulls energy toward it. It is a Suction Effect caused by the displacement of the Lumen by a resonant anchor (usually nergy cocentrated in mass).

\[ a = -\nabla \Phi_{\rm impedance} \]

Acceleration is simply the Sprit attempting to maintain its resonant equilibrium by migrating into the "widest" part of the Duct. Gravity is the universe’s way of "balancing the books" across the variable impedance of the Substrate.
