#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Inverted Buoyancy Origin: Numerical Verification ================================================ Verifies three claims about the gravity origin described in temporal-gradient-gravity-proposal.html and time_gradient_verification.html. CLAIM 1 The proper-time medium, dtau/dt, produces Newtonian acceleration under the buoyancy prescription, to machine precision. CLAIM 2 The coupling is independent of the body's composition. The medium is a property of the source mass and carries no information about the responding body, so the acceleration is identical for every material. The equivalence principle therefore holds exactly, which makes any composition dependence in c_g a measured DEVIATION from a principled baseline rather than a parameter fitted to data. Formulation note. The framework as stated in the papers (Motion Postulate, time_gradient_verification.html Section 2) is a gradient-following rule: an object accelerates along the local gradient of the time field, a = c^2 d(dtau/dt)/dr evaluated at its location. There is no volume integral over the body, so no extended-body force law is posited and no shell-theorem question arises. Inverted buoyancy is the intuition for the direction and sign of that gradient, and is used here as such. It is not the mechanism, and no claim is made or tested about buoyancy as a literal displaced-volume force. Physical setup -------------- A body in a medium of density rho_medium feels F = - integral over volume of grad(rho_medium) dV Mapping the proper-time medium, rho_medium -> dtau/dt, with the sign inverted relative to ordinary buoyancy so that matter moves toward slower proper time. This file addresses the geometry and algebra only. It makes no claim about the five-sector extension, the entropy arrow, or any anomaly dataset.
