Core Argument for "The Effect of Gravity on Process Rates"

This document presents the core argument underlying the author’s broader framework, “The Effect of Gravity on Process Rates: An Alternative Interpretive Framework for the Phenomenon of Time.” It elaborates the central conceptual claim that gravitational effects influence the rate of physical processes rather than time itself, and provides the logical foundations, implications, and limits of this reinterpretation. The text is intended as a standalone exposition of the main argument, as well as a foundational component of the larger theoretical project.
