Here's the non-ChatGPT rant that I was attempting to not spew all over the internet.

> “There’s some kind of gas or some thermal system out there that we can’t see directly,” >

Posit that there’s something we don’t know about, and we’re supposing it’s gas-like. This is what I like to refer to as “imagination”, and it’s a great way to start thinking about problems. The fact that it’s showing up in an article suggests they didn’t get much further than imagination, but I’ll keep reading…

> “But it’s randomly interacting with masses in some way, such that on average you see all the normal gravity things that you know about: The Earth orbits the sun, and so forth.” >

Cool. We’re back on everything being “random” again. Modern interpretations of quantum mechanics has really torn a hole in the idea of causality by replacing it with the idea that we can’t explain why things happen, but we CAN model it statistically, so we’ll assume the model is right and stop looking for causal relationships entirely.” It’s lazy pessimistic psuedo-science, and I don’t buy it. I don’t outright REFUTE it, but I’m not basing my understanding of nature on it just because a bunch of smart people decided to stop looking.

On the paper the article refers to:

> Consider a pair of massive pistons with a non-interacting gas between them, as in Fig. 1. >

Cool. Happy to consider it. But I am curious… Are there existing examples of particles that do not interact with particles of like kind? Neutrinos and Photons come to mind. But has anyone proven that they don’t interact, or are we just assuming they don’t interact because we haven’t put the effort in to try and detect interactions? But sure, let’s consider the possibility.

> What this exercise demonstrates is that the two pistons feel an effective force between them, namely the pressure, which is mediated by the gas rather than some fundamental quantized field. >

Honestly? I love this. I don’t care about “fields” at all, personally. I feel like it’s more intuitive to think of fields as reinforcement of particle interactions over time and space. An electon moves? So do all of the others. A lot of them move the same way? The others feel that combined movement at distance according to C. Magnetic flux? Interplay of electron inertia reinforcment delayed by the time it takes for the repulsive forces to make their way around a coil (or whatever other medium according to it’s influence) and allow spin to align. Falsifiable? Yes. Relevant intuitive observation? Yes. Taken the time to write out the math myself in languages I don’t know? No.

> <… lot’s of math that proves individual hypothetical (sorry, theoretical) particle interactions can explain how gravity emerges…> >

Cool. I’m almost certain that if I took the time to check their math, it would be meaningfully accurate and absolutely show that this is a way you can view gravity.

But let me ask you… Why the hell would anyone want to think about gravity like that, and why are we trying to explain things in terms of entropy when it clearly has no applications outside of “well, I guess everything is left up to chance, and there’s nothing left to be discovered.” I reject this hypothesis. I reject the idea that everything we see, feel, hear, and know was at one point non-existant, and somehow emerged at this level of complexity such that we are capable of not only cognition but also direct observation of physical phenomena while simultaneously being physical phenomena ourselves. There is something else. And no, it’s not “God”. But it sure as hell isn’t “everything’s just falling apart in interesting ways”. And I get that that’s not the “full idea” behind entropy, but it is entropy’s brand identity, and it is the implication behind entropy as the driving force of nature (sorry, I used force again. I forget we're not allowed to say that about the thing we're using to explain how all of the real forces emerge. my bad). Heat death of the universe as a result of entropy? I’m onboard. Red shift? I get it. Entropy is a great “welp I guess that’s the reason again”, but the mental gymnastics it takes to represent gravity as a result of this? Give me a freaking break.

There’s a simpler explanation for all of this that models well across domains, and nobody is willing to admit it because it doesn’t fit the narrative. Phase-lock. Waveforms that mesh together in torsional space time reinforce each other, sometimes purely locally through identity changes (fusion), and sometimes via interdependant standing waves (non-fundamental particles, atoms, molecules, etc etc). Entropy is just what happens when coherence fails to resolve locally and must resolve non-locally (chemical interactions, fission, dielectric breakdown, photoelectric effect). Most things can be modelled this way: as stable geometric configurations of quantum wave functions representing self-reinforcing torsional spacetime harmonics. And if you take a second to consider it, maybe this single paragraph _is_ a more intuitive explanation of gravity, too.
