The prediction phase of the Theory of Imbalance of Energy (TIE v2.1) established finiteinteraction propagation and delayed corrective influence as unavoidable structural constraints.The first explanatory paper of the v2.2 series demonstrated that these constraints necessitatea physical substrate with locally variable resistance and the capacity to sustain temporaryimbalance. The present work shows that once such a substrate exists, large-scale organizedattractive behavior necessarily emerges.Gravity is shown to arise without being postulated as a fundamental force or geometric axiom. Instead, convergent motion follows from the manner in which imbalance is resolved in asubstrate where correction is delayed and resistance varies spatially. Regions of higher resistanceact as effective sinks for imbalance, producing organized inward motion without invoking actionat a distance. The universality of gravitational behavior follows from substrate dynamics ratherthan from intrinsic properties of bounded domains. Finite propagation further implies delayedgravitational influence and prepares the ground for dynamical gravitational effects. This explanation preserves the empirical success of geometric descriptions while reinterpreting them aseffective representations of deeper substrate dynamics
