The Tension Sphere: Structure, Dynamics, and Implications in the MID/QC Framework

This paper formalizes the Tension Sphere as the fundamental gravitational structure in the MID/QC framework. Instead of treating gravitational wells as singularities or curvature concentrations, the model describes them as finite‑thickness coherence shells shaped by substrate tension flow. The Tension Sphere is shown to arise naturally from coherence‑field geometry, with its boundary behavior, interior gradients, and shell dynamics determining gravitational strength, time dilation, and information behavior. This substrate‑level structure replaces point‑mass assumptions with a physically grounded tension architecture, resolving inconsistencies in classical gravity, horizon models, and mass‑distribution interpretations. The paper outlines the geometry, stability conditions, and dynamical implications of the Tension Sphere, establishing it as a central construct for understanding gravitational systems in MID/QC.
