An Ontological Reformulation of Gravitation: The Intrinsic Proximity Framework

Title: An Ontological Reformulation of Gravitation: The Intrinsic Proximity Framework Abstract: This paper presents an alternative ontological framework for gravitational phenomena. Departing from both the Newtonian interpretation of gravity as an action-at-a-distance force and the general relativistic interpretation as spacetime curvature, this work attributes gravity to an intrinsic proximity property inherent in all mass-energy entities, mediated exclusively by a real, physical gravitational field in flat spacetime. In static, weak-field environments, the framework retains the mathematical form of Newtonian gravity, and naturally derives the weak equivalence principle from its core postulates without treating it as an independent axiom. For dynamic and strong-field scenarios such as Mercury's perihelion precession, the constant gravitational coefficient is generalized to an effective proximity strength coefficient (Gₑff), governed by a universal response function modulated by three local parameters: gravitational field intensity (Eg), relative velocity (vᵣel), and hydrostatic pressure P. Notably, this single set of coupling mechanisms provides a unified account of both macroscopic orbital dynamics and microscopic gravitational time dilation, with no need to invoke spacetime geometry. All quantitative predictions match existing experimental and observational results in the weak-field limit as a mathematical degeneracy. The work is presented as a logically self-consistent theoretical proposal. The exact analytical form of the universal response function remains to be calibrated empirically, and the full framework is open to collaborative verification and extension. 标题 引力的本体论重构: 内禀趋近框架 摘要 本文提出了一套引力现象的替代性本体论框架。区别于牛顿力学将引力诠释为超距作用力、广义相对论将引力诠释为时空弯曲的传统认知, 本理论将引力的本质归因于所有质能体固有的内禀趋近属性, 该效应以真实的物理引力场为唯一媒介, 在平直时空背景下成立。 在静态弱场环境中, 本框架保留了牛顿引力的数学形式, 且可从核心公设出发自然导出弱等效原理, 无需将其作为独立公理。针对水星近日点进动等动态、强场场景, 本文将恒定引力常量推广为有效趋近强度系数 (Gₑff), 其取值由普适响应函数决定, 受三类局域参数共同调制: 引力场强 (Eg) 、相对速度 (vᵣel) 与静压强 P。 值得注意的是, 仅凭这一套耦合机制, 即可统一解释宏观轨道动力学与微观引力时间膨胀两类效应, 无需引入时空几何假设。在弱场极限下, 本体系所有定量预言与现有实验、观测结果数值一致, 属于数学层面的退化简并。 本文以一套逻辑自洽的理论提案形式呈现。普适响应函数的具体解析形式有待后续实验观测标定, 整套理论框架开放供学界协作验证与拓展。
