Gravity Well: Field Specification for Retentive Citational Curvature is a specification by Lee Sharks, deposited 6 April 2026.
Its opening declaration is an ontological refusal: Gravity Well is not a room. It is not a chamber, a vault, or an engine. It is a field — a nonlocal semantic curvature that suffuses the entire Hexagon and alters the behaviour of everything within it. The Hexagon is otherwise organised as addressed rooms, so declaring a second kind of object required stating what kind of thing it is before saying anything about what it does.
Retentive citational curvature names the effect: citation does not travel in straight lines through a field, and a work's gravitational mass — its density of anchored reference — bends the paths by which other works are reached. The specification is the theoretical statement behind the Gravity Well microservice (#1347) and the MCP protocol surface (#1381), and it gives the TACHYON continuity chain its name.
