The Continuity Drive Hypothesis: Rethinking Gravity Without Fields

This paper introduces the Continuity Drive Hypothesis , a speculative framework that reimagines gravity not as a force mediated by fields but as a consequence of spacetime's innate tendency toward continuity. Rejecting the classical and relativistic notion of gravity as an external field, the hypothesis postulates that matter arises from densified spacetime and that gravitational effects emerge from a drive within spacetime to minimize discontinuities in its own density. This approach synthesizes geometric intuition, inertial behavior, and density-driven interactions to provide a fresh conceptual lens on gravitational phenomena. While speculative, this approach opens up new conceptual avenues for thinking about gravity, matter, energy, and spacetime in both physical and computational systems.
