WHEN FORCE IS NO LONGER THE EXPLANATORY LOCUS - IRWIN CORPUS

This document presents a descriptive re-orientation of gravitational explanation, examining gravity as the behaviour of matter following trajectories permitted by spacetime geometry under constraint, rather than as an interaction requiring applied force. It does not propose a new physical theory, modify general relativity, introduce equations, or replace existing predictive models. The work is non-prescriptive, non-metaphorical, and explicitly falsifiable. Its function is limited to explanatory clarification at the level of language.
