This paper builds, within the ΨD framework, the origin of forces and force carriers from a single primitive interaction — the nearest-neighbor planckon bond. Central thesis: if the planckon is the smallest indivisible entity, a separate force carrier cannot be more fundamental than it; hence carriers are not distinct substances but collective excitation modes of the planckon bond network. The core postulates of the main ΨD paper are compiled at the outset; the ontological status of d0 (a pre-physical ground) is clarified; then, from a single bond, we show that: (i) the energy ledger E (d) = (d+1) εP follows from the three-dimensional direction count; (ii) the d0→d3 tension ladder is the successive spatial derivatives of this bond; (iii) in the continuum limit the linear tension scale T=εP/ℓP emerges; (iv) in the static limit Poisson, 1/r, and the 4π solid-angle factor arise from the geometry of three-dimensionality; (v) the source coupling becomes ℓP/εP=G/c⁴. The force at the planckon scale is FP=c⁴/G=εP/ℓP; gravity is written from it (G=c⁴/FP), not the reverse. Because both the planckon and the gap are ℓP, zero is expelled from the ontology: separation is discrete, «r→0» cannot be constructed, and an absolute singularity does not arise — it is not regularized, it never appears. When the bond variable is raised to a strain tensor (εᵢj), the weak-field layer is also obtained: spin-2 (tensor) propagation, the 4π→8π trace-reversal factor, and curvature finiteness on the discrete base (Kretschmann K≤48/ℓP⁴, geodesic completeness) are derived from geometry. The honest boundary is flagged: what is derived is the linearized layer; full nonlinear GR and an independent prediction of G remain open; the burden of proof now shifts from «what happens at the singularity» to «how continuous GR emerges beyond ℓP».
