Theory Of Imbalance Of Energy v2.2- Explanation PAPER 2- Emergence of Gravity from Substrate Imbalance

The prediction phase of the Theory of Imbalance of Energy (TIE v2.1) established finite
interaction propagation and delayed corrective influence as unavoidable structural constraints.
The first explanatory paper of the v2.2 series demonstrated that these constraints necessitate
a physical substrate with locally variable resistance and the capacity to sustain temporary
imbalance. The present work shows that once such a substrate exists, large-scale organized
attractive behavior necessarily emerges.
Gravity is shown to arise without being postulated as a fundamental force or geometric ax
iom. Instead, convergent motion follows from the manner in which imbalance is resolved in a
substrate where correction is delayed and resistance varies spatially. Regions of higher resistance
act as effective sinks for imbalance, producing organized inward motion without invoking action
at a distance. The universality of gravitational behavior follows from substrate dynamics rather
than from intrinsic properties of bounded domains. Finite propagation further implies delayed
gravitational influence and prepares the ground for dynamical gravitational effects. This ex
planation preserves the empirical success of geometric descriptions while reinterpreting them as
effective representations of deeper substrate dynamics
