GRAVITY IN FM

A field-density gradient, not a geometric curvature

In the Field Medium (FM), gravity is not a mysterious attraction and not a bending of spacetime.
It is a physical consequence of how an elastic medium responds to saturated vortex-resonances (mass).

A mass compresses and stiffens the field around it.
Gravity is the natural motion of objects into regions of lower field resistance.

1 — Mass Creates Field Compression

A stable vortex-resonance (from electrons to planets to stars):

pulls in field tension
increases local density
stiffens the surrounding medium
creates an inward gradient of resistance

This gradient is not “attraction.”
It is an energetic slope in the medium.

Objects simply follow the path of least resistance.
Light follows the same gradient, which produces bending and delay.

2 — Gravity = Motion Toward Lower Field Energy

In FM the rule is simple:

Objects move into regions where the field is less loaded.

A compressed medium:

lowers process speed
slows light pulses
increases stiffness
increases tension

A relaxed medium:

allows faster propagation
runs processes faster
has lower internal resistance

Objects naturally move from higher tension → lower tension.
This is gravity.

3 — Why Gravity Feels Like Attraction

Two masses, A and B, each compress the field around themselves.

Between them is:

the highest compression
the steepest gradient
the lowest field mobility

This creates a situation where:

Each mass finds it easier to move toward the other than away.

They are not pulling.
The medium is guiding both.

Gravity is a shape of the medium, not a force.

4 — Why Light Slows and Bends in Gravity

Light in FM is a train of 3D tension pulses.

When the field is:

compressed → stiffness ↑, density ↑ → pulse speed ↓
relaxed → stiffness ↓, density ↓ → pulse speed ↑

Thus in gravity:

light slows (Shapiro delay)
light bends toward dense regions
galaxies lens background light
time appears to slow near mass because process speed decreases

These effects do not require curved spacetime —
only changes in FM’s physical parameters.

5 — Local c: Why All Observers Measure the Same Speed

A core FM principle:

You always measure the wave speed of your own local field, never the global speed along the path.

Because:

your clock oscillates using the local medium
your ruler derives its length from the local medium
your detectors are vortex-resonances inside the same medium
and the light you measure propagates in that same region

Therefore:

Even if the true local speed of light is reduced by compression,
your instruments slow proportionally — making the ratio still equal to c.

This removes the need for Lorentz geometry and spacetime curvature.

6 — Orbital Motion From Field Flow

A rotating mass induces a torsional flow in the surrounding field:

near the mass, FM rotates with it
farther out, the rotation decreases smoothly
this creates a natural preference for co-orbiting directions

This explains why:

planets orbit in the same direction
moons align with equatorial planes
accretion disks form
galaxies show coherent spiral structure

Rotation is inherited from field torsion,
not from abstract angular-momentum bookkeeping.

7 — Gravity as a Continuum, Not Quantized

FM gravity is:

continuous
smooth
elastic
scale-invariant
geometric in the field, not in spacetime

There is no graviton and no quantum of curvature.

Instead:

mass modifies the medium
the medium modifies motion
all behavior remains classical and physical

Gravity is not a separate force.
It is the elastic response of a real medium shaped by vortex-resonances.

8 — Summary: Gravity in FM

Gravity is:

a gradient in field density and tension
motion toward regions of lower resistance
slower pulses in compressed regions
light bending due to stiffness changes
orbital structure from field torsion
fully mechanical and testable

Not curvature.
Not attraction.
Not geometry.

Just the behavior of a physical medium shaped by stable vortex-resonances.
