Gravity ($G$)

Gravity ($G$)

Definition: The Persistence Pressure of recursion. Gravity is the statistical bias within the feedback loop that favors configurations capable of enduring across iterations.

The Mechanism:

• In the Underlying Potential, all distinctions are equally possible.
• Once a Distinction ($\mathcal{D}$) is made, $G$ is the "weight" that makes it easier to repeat that distinction than to create a completely new one.
• Gravity = Recursive Inertia.

Formal Logic:

Gravity is the probability curve that ensures the next moment resembles the previous moment.

Ontological Consequence:

• Coherence Filter: Gravity acts as the "Great Filter" of reality. Patterns that cannot sustain recursive coherence are "rejected" (dissolved back into Potential/Entropy).
• Mass in RDD: "Mass" is simply a measure of Recursive Depth. The more deeply established a pattern is (the more iterations it has survived), the deeper its "Gravity"—meaning, the harder it is to disrupt or change it.
