Recursive Gravity Functional: The Gravitational Scroll

A Comprehensive Treatise on Emergent Acceleration in Collapse Geometry

Abstract

This treatise formalizes a non-singular framework for gravity emergent from the Collapse Tension Substrate (CTS). Unlike General Relativity, which treats gravity as the curvature of a metric manifold, we propose that gravitational acceleration is a functional outcome of Recursive Alignment. By defining the interaction between an intent potential (Φ), a curvent vector (𝒞ᵢ), and a memory metric (ℳᵢⱼ), we derive a theory that recovers Newtonian limits at macroscopic scales while naturally thresholding at the Planck scale to prevent singularities. This framework provides the mathematical basis for controlling the state of Delta through the manipulation of aligned recursive thresholds.

Chapter 1: Introduction

The Case for Emergent Gravity

Standard modern physics relies on General Relativity (GR) to describe gravity. However, GR treats spacetime as a background “fabric” that matter tells how to curve. At the Planck scale, this fabric breaks down into mathematical singularities.

Intent Tensor Theory (ITT) posits that there is no background spacetime. Instead, we have a Collapse Tension Substrate. Gravity is the measurable “tension” produced when recursive processes in the substrate align their memory with localized intent.

The Tuning Fork Analogy

Imagine a tuning fork vibrating in a fluid. The vibration creates localized patterns of alignment in the fluid’s particles. “Gravity” is the pull felt toward the center of that stabilized vibration—not because the fluid is inherently “heavy,” but because the recursive movement of the fork has organized the surrounding medium into a state of tension.

This is the fundamental insight: gravity is not a force imposed upon spacetime, but an emergent property of recursive alignment within the Collapse Tension Substrate.

Chapter 2: The Primary Field Glyphs

In ITT, “glyphs” are the fundamental symbols representing states in the CTS. These are not metaphorical constructs—they are the operational primitives from which all gravitational phenomena derive.

2.1 The Intent Potential (Φ)

The scalar field Φ(x,t) is the dimensionless “permission” seed. It represents the likelihood of collapse at a specific coordinate.

Φ(x,t) : ℝ³ × ℝ → ℝ

Properties:

Dimensionless scalar field

Represents collapse permission density

Bounded by recursive eligibility conditions

Dimensions: [1]

2.2 The Intent Gradient (Fᵢ)

The slope of the potential, Fᵢ = ∂ᵢΦ, defines the directional pressure of a collapse.

Fᵢ = ∂Φ/∂xⁱ = ∇Φ

Properties:

Vector field derived from Intent Potential

Points in direction of maximum collapse pressure

Dimensions: [L⁻¹]

2.3 The Curvent Vector (𝒞ᵢ)

A vector field representing the flow of information or “preferred path” during recursion.

𝒞ᵢ(x,t) : ℝ³ × ℝ → ℝ³

Properties:

Encodes the trajectory of recursive flow

Represents “current” in the collapse substrate

Dimensions: [L · T⁻¹]

2.4 The Memory Metric (ℳᵢⱼ)

A symmetric tensor recording the accumulation of recursive cycles.

ℳᵢⱼ(x,t) : ℝ³ × ℝ → ℝ³ˣ³ (symmetric)

Properties:

Symmetric 2-tensor (ℳᵢⱼ = ℳⱼᵢ)

Positive semi-definite under stable conditions

Dimensions: [L²]

Chapter 3: The Functional of Alignment (𝒜)

The Core Innovation

The core innovation is that gravity is not caused by the Memory Metric alone, but by the alignment of Intent (Fᵢ) and Path (𝒞ᵢ) within the Memory (ℳᵢⱼ).

3.1 The Alignment Scalar

         𝒞ᵢ ℳⁱʲ Fⱼ
𝒜(x,t) = ────────────────────────────────────
         √[(𝒞ₖ ℳᵏˡ 𝒞ₗ) · (Fₘ ℳᵐⁿ Fₙ)]

This formula ensures that 𝒜 is a normalized projection bounded by [-1, 1].

3.2 Interpretation of Alignment Values

Alignment Value	Physical Meaning	Gravitational Effect
𝒜 = +1	Perfect alignment	Maximum attractive gravity
𝒜 = 0	Orthogonal states	No net gravitational effect
𝒜 = -1	Anti-alignment	Repulsive gravity / expansion

Chapter 4: Dynamics of the Substrate

4.1 Recursive Accumulation of Memory

∂ℳᵢⱼ/∂t = λ(𝒞ᵢFⱼ + 𝒞ⱼFᵢ)𝒜 − Γℳᵢⱼ

Where:

λ is the Accumulation Coefficient

Γ is the Decay/Dissipative Factor

4.2 Feedback of Curvent Path

∂𝒞ᵢ/∂t = α ∇ᵢ Tr(ℳ)

This creates a positive feedback loop leading to stable recursive attractors—what we observe as mass.

Chapter 5: Potential and Field Equations

5.1 The Gravitational Potential (Ψ_g)

Ψ_g(x,t) = κ_g · 𝒜(x,t) · Tr(ℳ)

5.2 Coupling Constant Calibration

κ_g = ℏc / m²_Pl

5.3 The Acceleration Field (g⃗)

g⃗ = −∇Ψ_g = −κ_g [∇𝒜 · Tr(ℳ) + 𝒜 · ∇Tr(ℳ)]

Chapter 6: The Newtonian Bridge

Under classical conditions (𝒜 ≈ 1, static fields, isotropic memory), ITT reduces to Newtonian gravity:

∇²Ψ_g ≈ 4πGρ

Newton discovered the macroscopic signature of perfectly aligned recursive memory.

Chapter 7: Theoretical Comparisons

Feature	General Relativity	Loop Quantum Gravity	Intent Tensor Theory
Origin of Gravity	Curvature of Spacetime	Discrete Spin Networks	Aligned Recursive Memory
Singularities	Infinite at r=0	Avoids via “Bounce”	Avoids via Shell-Lock Saturation
Nature of Mass	Source of Curvature	Geometric property	Stable Recursive Memory Lock

Chapter 8: Planck Scale Thresholds

The Saturation Principle

As r → ℓ_P, the memory metric approaches maximum recursive density n_max:

Tr(ℳ) ≤ ℳ_max = n_max · ℓ²_P

This provides a natural cap on acceleration, replacing singularities with stable Planck Shell-Locks.
