Field-as-Participant: The Observer-Gravity Equivalence

For a century, physics has pursued the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity. This paper does not unify them. It identifies them.

Three premises:

1. Quantum mechanics: observer affects observed
2. General relativity: mass-energy curves spacetime
3. The observer has mass-energy

Therefore: observer curves spacetime. Therefore: observation is gravity.

Quantum mechanics and general relativity are not two theories requiring unification. They are two descriptions of the same participatory reality, seen from different scales. The frame of physics is complete. The remaining work is exploration, not foundation.
