The hierarchy resolution

Electromagnetism is about 10³⁶ times stronger than gravity. If both forces arise from the same medium, the Eternal Consonance, RSI must explain why their effects differ so greatly.

The theory's answer is a distinction between passive shadows and active friction. Gravity is passive. It is a local pressure shadow that slackens the tension of the medium and gently slows passing waves without collision.

Electromotive force is active. It drives matter-knots, and an electron in RSI is a rigid knot whose internal escapement runs at 10⁴³ Hz under the 8.23 × 10²⁸ Pa Universal Mechanical Clamp. When a voltage drives a large current through a conductor, the knots collide with the lattice and hand it energy. About 6.24 × 10¹⁸ electrons pass each second for every ampere, and the heat delivered, the current squared times the resistance, can be enough to break the conductor's bonds and melt it, as in an electrical short.
