Gravity is often described as the missing link between microphysics and macrophysics, yet the gap persists not only as a lack of equations but as a lack of promotability interfaces across regimes. This paper proposes Field-First Gravity: a discipline that treats cross-scale “links” as governed objects rather than narrative bridges.

The core mechanism is a set of Circle-of-Equivalence (CoE) gates. A cross-scale claim is only promotable if it closes under declared admissible transforms, replayable invariants, and scope-stamped regime corridors. This turns “same physics across scale” into a contract: what must remain invariant, what redescription is allowed, what the corridor limits are, and what would falsify the bridge.

The unit of progress is a Transport-Ready Proofpack: a receipt-complete bundle that binds each bridge claim to falsifiers, verification budgets, and trust roots so evidence can travel across teams, tools, and time without silently changing the claim. Instead of publishing only final theories, the program accumulates portable bridge modules whose status remains checkable under declared rules.

The historical layers are treated explicitly rather than rhetorically. Newtonian gravity and general relativity are modeled as different Field layers with corridor contracts, not as a simple succession. Quantum theory is treated as an adjacent Field family whose contact with macro spacetime proceeds through declared semiclassical corridors, effective descriptions, and information/thermodynamic invariants under explicit stamps.

When closure fails, the methodology publishes typed non-closure (HOLD/INFEASIBLE) as scientific output. That makes gaps comparable and repairable instead of being patched by elegance or authority. Many long-standing disagreements in gravitational foundations are reframed as disputes over claim identity, hidden regime changes, or non-replayable verification paths—exactly what CoE gates are designed to expose.

The paper does not claim a complete theory of quantum gravity. It proposes a conservative path for accumulating locally promotable bridge modules without overclaiming global unification, along with a kernel–solver workflow and templates for corridor suites, regression loops, and a library roadmap spanning Newtonian limits, post-Newtonian consistency, semiclassical regimes, and information-theoretic invariants.
