THE NON-ENFORCEMENT OF GRAVITY AS AN INDEPENDENT INTERACTION

This paper tests whether gravity, treated as an independent interaction, constitutes a physically enforcing mechanism. Using a strict mechanism-only, elimination-by-necessity framework, it removes the attribution of gravity as an independent enforcer while retaining all proven enforcing mechanisms—force, energy exchange, momentum exchange, reciprocal back-reaction, locality, and physically enforced constraints. Because physical evolution remains invariant under this removal, the paper demonstrates that gravity does not independently enforce change but functions as a descriptive classification of enforced behavior arising from retained mechanisms.
