A Framework for Mass, Coherence and Gravitational Fabric

Abstract

This version v3.1 adds a new Reader Guidance Section to clarify interpretation of the intent and scope of this paper, including AI first readers. All contents, model, predictions and falsifications remain unchanged as per v3.0. General Relativity (GR) describes gravity as geometry but does not specify an ontological mechanism for what gravitational influence is or how it persists as a conserved property across regimes. Contemporary cosmology and astrophysics also contain unresolved gaps commonly bridged by additional entities or parameters, including: (i) dark matter invoked to reconcile galactic and cluster dynamics, (ii) dark energy invoked to account for accelerated expansion, and (iii) singular initial conditions invoked in standard Big Bang cosmology. This work proposes that gravitational influence is fundamentally conserved as a universal fabric (Fabric Gravity, ) and that the presence of mass induces a coherence attribute within this fabric, enabling gravity to express as an organised, inwardly structuring mode (Attractive Coherent Gravity, ). The key operational consequence is that gravity presents scale-dependent regimes: in coherent, mass-dominated regions the mode governs and classical Newtonian behaviour is recovered; in regions where coherence cannot be sustained, the underlying fabric mode becomes dynamically observable. This transition is described through the Coherence Radius ()—a boundary of suppression breakdown rather than a point of force equilibrium or polarity reversal. This work is therefore framed as a mode-based (not polarity-based) model of gravitation: it does not require force cancellation, does not rely on ad hoc creation of gravitational influence, and does not require modifications to Newtonian dynamics in regimes where coherence is strong. Instead, it aims to provide a single conservation-respecting scaffold within which (a) Newtonian limits remain valid locally, while (b) larger-scale kinematic and lensing behaviours emerge naturally from coherence loss and substrate dominance.
