Retarded Gravity-Cogravity as a Conserved Linear Field Model
A postulated linear spin-1 analogy for source causality, continuity, and energy accounting
01 / Abstract
Abstract
Jefimenko-style gravity/cogravity is treated here as a postulated linear retarded mass-current model, not as a replacement for general relativity. The paper derives consequences inside that model, including a continuity constraint and a Poynting-like bookkeeping identity. No action, self-consistent matter theory, implementation, or empirical validation is supplied.
Model boundary. This is a flat-background spin-1 analogy without a dynamical metric, universal matter and light coupling, nonlinear self-interaction, or controlled strong-field dynamics. Negative field-energy bookkeeping is not an extractable reservoir.
