About
In 1998 I was in a university library researching my Master's thesis in Literature at San Diego State University, a work titled The Theory of Interpretive Relativity. The insight arrived there: that gravitational attraction might not be a fundamental force at all, but the reaction load returned by the Ether Plenum, which matter itself drives outward.
I could not defend it. I had the philosophy and not the mathematics, and a conjecture that cannot be tested is not a contribution. So I did not publish. For more than two decades the idea sat in notebooks while I worked on other things.
What changed is that computational assistance made the mathematics reachable. Working with AI research tools, I was able to formalise the derivations, run symbolic and numerical verification, and find out whether the idea survived contact with the evidence.
Some of it did not. Four separate attempts to derive the framework's coupling strength failed, and one of them failed because it predicted an effect telescopes would have detected decades ago. Those failures are published alongside the results, in the papers and in the public verification suite, because a framework that reports only its successes is worth less than one that reports the whole account.
I am a researcher at the World Library Foundation. These papers are preprints and have not been peer reviewed. Every numerical claim in them can be checked by anyone who downloads the code.
