Elastic Field Series – Part III: Gravitation as a Resonant Configuration of the Field

This part of the Elastic Field Series explores gravitation as a resonant configuration of the elastic field. The model shows that gravity is not a force but a gradient of stored elastic tension in the vacuum lattice, created by the presence of standing resonances — matter itself. Each point of space carries information about the surrounding energy distribution; interaction occurs when a body enters this pre-structured field. Gravitational attraction thus arises naturally from the elastic energy geometry of the field, without invoking mass as a separate cause.
