OPERATIONAL QUANTUM GRAVITY FOR ENGINEERS: A revised damping, vacuum-polarizability, and uncertainty-based interpretation of gravitational scaling
publishedProposes an operational engineering description of gravity in which the metric of general relativity is a compact encoding of clock-and-ruler comparisons and is re-expressed via a polarizable-vacuum scalar K, an uncertainty-preserving scaling map, and an effective radiative-damping parameter ζ with K=(1-ζ²)^-1. The paper shows this framework reproduces the weak/static Schwarzschild scaling while preserving Heisenberg products and outlines a coherent, testable experimental program (spectroscopy, clock comparisons, resonance perturbations) without claiming a complete microscopic theory.
