EP4-C demonstrated that qubit dissipation on IBM Jakarta hardware follows the entropy gradient of the Bures density matrix manifold step by step, with 98.3% of observed dissipative motion accounted for by local geometry alone. This note draws out what that result means for the locality of gravity within Entropic Field Theory (EFT) and the time vector field within EQ(vT). In both frameworks the effective gravitational field and the direction of time are identified with f = |∇S|_B — the magnitude of the von Neumann entropy gradient in Bures geometry. EP4-C provides direct empirical evidence that this field is operative and locally determined at the quantum information layer. No new data is presented.
