This preprint presents a meta-level analysis of gravity focused on the structural conditions required to maintain a single, coherent world across multiple, non-identical observational standpoints. Rather than proposing a new theory, model, or predictive framework, the work examines how gravitational descriptions become unavoidable once relational consistency between distinct observational perspectives must be preserved. Gravitational phenomena are treated not as directly observable entities or localized interactions, but as manifestations of a consistency structure introduced to reconcile relational effects such as relative motion, temporal comparison, and geometric deviation. The analysis surveys major gravitational frameworks—including General Relativity, quantum field–based approaches, quantum gravity programs, and emergent or information-theoretic perspectives—without evaluating their empirical correctness. These frameworks are instead compared according to how and where they introduce non-observable structures required to preserve world-level coherence. By making these conceptual commitments explicit, the preprint reframes longstanding tensions in gravitational theory as differences in abstraction layers rather than direct theoretical incompatibilities. The scope is deliberately limited: no ontological claims, new dynamics, or speculative extensions are introduced. The aim is to provide a stable conceptual reference point for discussing gravity at the structural level, applicable to both classical and quantum contexts.
