VEQF Theory_ Emergent Non-Quantum Gravity - Thermodynamic Coalescence with EDG Feedback

The Gravity Emergence Model (GEM), integrated with the Vacuum Energy Quanta Field (VEQF) Theory and Mass Emergence Model (MEM), redefines gravity as an emergent, entropy-driven thermodynamic process at mesoscopic scales (lq=1e-20 m). Building on the Inevitability of Energy Density Gradients (EDG) Theorem and emergent inverse-square law, we derive gravitational binding energy Ui without explicit mass or G, reducing to a core thermodynamic term , Cp*DeltaT*Ni^2/Ri, where Ni (total coherent nodes) proxies emergent mass via the Transactional Configuration Index (TCI). EDGs provide the guiding slope for matter drift, with self-amplifying feedback: Initial coalescence deepens gradients, accelerating further binding. The 1/r^2 scaling emerges geometrically from 3D Poisson solutions to localized interference sources. GEM aligns with GR binding energies across 13 celestial bodies (discrepancy ~0.02% RMS), validated numerically. This non-quantum model—distinct from Planck-scale effects—offers a physical pathway.
