Optical-Gravity Field

The Optical-Gravity Field (OGF) is a scalar-field framework that reproduces classical GR tests (light deflection, Shapiro delay, perihelion precession, GPS corrections) while adopting a different interpretation: gravity modulates local optical properties and local process rhythms; proper time and a spacetime metric are not required at the operational level. The Lorentz-type slowdown in moving systems is attributed to field intensification due to motion. The work also outlines strong-field predictions (optical hyper-slowing without geometric horizons) and two feasible discriminators (rotor/cavity at the same altitude; one-way vertical optical TOF).
