Gravity, in the language of coherence, is not a mysterious pull across space — it is the curvature pattern that arises when boundaries seek equilibrium.
Mass, energy, and motion are not separate causes but different expressions of boundary tension.
Wherever curvature gradients exist, systems move to minimise phase disparity; what we call “gravitational attraction” is simply the geometric tendency of coherence to close upon itself.
In Flow Algebra, orbital motion, free fall, and spacetime curvature all emerge from a single rule:
energy follows the shortest path through coherence.
The elliptical paths of planets, the stability of moons, and the dynamics of galaxies are each solutions to this deeper law — balance between curvature, inertia, and boundary feedback.
This section translates the language of Newton and Einstein into the geometry of coherence:
By framing gravitational and orbital systems this way, Flow Algebra bridges the intuitive with the precise:
it shows how motion, time dilation, and even cosmic expansion can be written as self-consistent curvature flows, where every acceleration and trajectory is simply coherence finding balance.
