Proper Space Kinematics

An Interpretive Framework for Spatial Mechanics

A theoretical framework proposing that gravity emerges from density gradients in continuously densifying space, rather than from spacetime curvature. This treatise presents an alternative interpretation of gravitational, quantum, and cosmological phenomena.
