Gravity as Pressure

Reinterpreting attraction as boundary stress

Gravity is not a force pulling masses together. It is a pressure gradient pushing them. Massive objects create an outward bulge into the TSC. Objects are not pulled into a well; they are pushed toward the bulge by the surrounding pressure differential. This recovers Newtonian and GR weak-field mathematics exactly ($\nabla^2 P = 4\pi G\rho$) but decouples gravitational acceleration from time dilation. Both emerge in parallel from $\rho$.
Technical Details The causal chain is $\rho \to \nabla P \to \mathbf{g}$, parallel to $\rho \to \Gamma \to T(\rho)$. Identical weak-field predictions are maintained, but novel testable signatures emerge: qubit coherence scales with $\Phi$, and atomic clocks drift near dark matter overdensities.
