For more than 100 years, physics has had beautiful equations for gravity and quantum fields, but no clear, simple story for where the forces themselves actually come from.
There’s a new theoretical framework “Relator” that treats gravity and electromagnetism as two parity faces of a single microscopic kernel living on an internal complex space, rather than two separate forces.
Particles are modeled as phase loops locked by a simple rule, and long-range forces show up as entropy deficits in that hidden space, with explicit mass and charge cancelling out in the final force laws. The same setup was previously used to predict the fine-structure constant and the electron mass without tunable parameters.
curious what people who know GR/QFT well think of this approach.
