=== If you want me to make the physics crisp and quantitative, I suggest this specific next calculation: ===

Toy coarse-graining estimate: assume each atom is a spherical boundary element with a surface energy density σ\sigmaσ (J/m²) from bound photon modes. Place nnn such elements per unit volume. Compute the coarse-grained energy density ueff∼nσ/Ru_{\rm eff}\sim n\sigma/Rueff∼nσ/R and then solve Poisson’s equation ∇2Φ=4πGueff/c2\nabla^2\Phi = 4\pi G u_{\rm eff}/c^2∇2Φ=4πGueff/c2 in linearized gravity to estimate the gravitational potential from these parameters. Choose atomic/solid parameters and see whether plausible σ\sigmaσ can reproduce laboratory ggg — this will show clearly whether the mechanism can work numerically without new physics.

If you like, I’ll run that calculation now (it’s straightforward order-of-magnitude algebra) and show numbers so we see exactly how far one is from reality and whether the gap could be bridged by reasonable microphysics. Shall I do that next?
