## 📊 Gravity Summary Table

| Gravity Concept | PARADOXLang Representation | CCT Mechanism |
|----------------|---------------------------|---------------|
| **Geodesic Equation** | Object choosing straight vs curved path | Question collapse at each point |
| **Equivalence Principle** | Inertial = gravitational mass | Superposition collapsing to identity |
| **Spacetime Curvature** | Metric tensor from stress-energy | Bootstrap limit cycle |
| **Gravitational Waves** | Alternating h_+, h_cross | Pure waveform, no particle |
| **Black Hole Gravity** | Horizon as collapse boundary | Singularity = terminal state |
| **Quantum Gravity** | Superposition of metrics | Uncollapsible at Planck scale |
| **Cosmological Gravity** | Scale factor a(t) trajectory | Era detection via TSP |
| **Entropic Gravity** | S = A/4 as hologram | Thermodynamic interpretation |

## 🎯 The Elegant Conclusion

In PARADOXLang, gravity is not a separate force but the **native geometry of computation itself**—spacetime curvature is just the path the question graph takes through semantic space.

```paradox
# The ultimate insight:
gravity = spacetime.curvature == computation.path.collapse
```

Want me to extend this to **quantum gravity on curved spacetime** or **gravitational wave interferometry simulation**?
