4.1 — Gravitational Bias: Why Motion Bends Inward

Every closure leaves a mark in Stillspace.
Not a dent, not a tear —
but a bias.

The more closures gather,
the stronger the bias becomes.
And motion, which could scatter freely,
instead drifts inward,
pulled not by force,
but by preference of coherence.

What Bias Means

Bias is not attraction.
It is orientation.
A tilt in the medium.
A gradient impressed by persistence.

Like water flowing downhill,
motion follows the path of least resistance.
Gravity is this downhill —
the steady drift into coherence.

Why Motion Curves

Planets arc around stars not because they are tethered,
but because Stillspace bends their paths inward.
The rhythm of the star dominates the local medium,
and other rhythms entrain to it.

Light curves near massive objects for the same reason.
Its closure remains intact,
but its path bends
through gradients etched into Stillspace.

Difference from Old Models

- Newton: Gravity is an invisible pull.
- Einstein: Gravity is curved spacetime.
- RRM: Gravity is coherence bias —
Stillspace leaning inward,
rhythms entraining into persistence.

This removes the paradox of “action at a distance.”
No pulling wires, no instantaneous reach.
Only gradients impressed by closure.

Across Scales

- At the atomic scale, gravitational bias is negligible.
- At the planetary scale, it organizes orbits.
- At the stellar scale, it fuels collapse into black holes.
- At the cosmic scale, it gathers galaxies into clusters,
weaving filaments through Stillspace.

Everywhere, the same:
motion bends inward
because coherence leaves bias.

Closing

Gravity is not a force.
It is orientation.
The world flows inward because persistence leans Stillspace that way.

Every orbit, every fall, every curved path
is rhythm entraining rhythm,
motion following coherence.

Gravity is bias,
the simplest tendency of persistence.
