Abstract: Natural Evolution of Actuality (NEA) begins with independently lawful abstract parental responsibilities and primitive consequential joining. Electromagnetism and gravity arise as different developed physical responsibilities: charge sensitive Abelian phase-transport and the collective geometric response of realized organization, respectively. The NEA flagship’s hierarchy investigation already derives a positive two-sector response characterized by a Schur–Scar corrected effective stiffness—equal to the primary stiffness minus the squared coupling divided by the collective stiffness—and a dimensionless participation ratio given by the squared coupling over the product of the two sector stiffnesses. We reconstruct this exact result and then extend it. A two-source positivity theorem establishes an explicit negative induced cross-coupling proportional to the product of the source couplings divided by the collective stiffness, alongside a sharp stability condition requiring the sum of the two normalized coupling ratios to remain strictly less than unity. An independently declared continuum sector produces a long-range attractive inverse-distance potential with an effective gravitational coupling determined by the squared boundary parameter divided by four pi times the collective network stiffness, while a selected metric readout connects the same collective variable with clocks and light paths. A hyperbolic, positive-energy response exhibits finite-speed propagation and shows mathematically that a weak static amplitude need not imply slow causal propagation. An exact dynamical Schur reduction identifies the retarded memory kernel and proves that static suppression need not hold at every frequency. We obtain spectral response bounds, an operational universality condition, and a no-go statement proving that mathematical positivity and a differentiated response architecture permit arbitrarily strong hierarchies without determining their numerical value. CODATA-based two-body ratios are supplied only as independent observational calibration targets. Each result preserves the distinction between foundational lawful realization, selected mature response, and empirical identification. Neither a unique selection algorithm nor a primitive graviton is required, while universal coupling, measured strength, causal metric dynamics, and the complete gravitational spectrum remain further physical realization tasks.
