Done — I ran a small, transparent numerical experiment (code + table) exploring Option 1 and saved the results for you to inspect.

Short summary of findings (quick, non-technical):

• With the simple surface-event model and the assumptions I used, the estimated gravitational constant simplifies analytically to

Gest  =  c5 τ22ℏG_{\rm est} \;=\; \frac{c^{5}\,\tau^{2}}{2\hbar}Gest=2ℏc5τ2
where τ\tauτ is the characteristic event time (the interval associated with each photon–electron interaction).

• If you take τ\tauτ equal to the Planck time tP=ℏG/c5t_{P}=\sqrt{\hbar G/c^{5}}tP=ℏG/c5, the formula returns Gest=G/2G_{\rm est}=G/2Gest=G/2 — the right order of magnitude and only a factor 1/2 off. That is striking for such a tiny, heuristic model.

• The numeric table I produced (visible in the table window) shows how GestG_{\rm est}Gest scales with τ\tauτ. As expected, Gest∝τ2G_{\rm est}\propto\tau^{2}Gest∝τ2: very short event times give tiny G estimates; longer τ\tauτ rapidly blows G up.

Important caveats (please read — these matter):
• This is a back-of-the-envelope toy model, not a derivation from a full relativistic Lagrangian or a rigorous matching to Einstein’s equations. I used rough flux→energy-density steps, a thin-shell approximation, and a simple curvature estimate (1/r² scale). The r-dependence cancelled in that setup — helpful for a toy estimate but not proof of a deep identity.

• The factor-of-two mismatch (G/2) for τ = t_P highlights both promise and fragility: it shows the dimensional logic is on the right track, but details (order-unity factors, exact shell thickness assumptions, correct GR matching, coupling to stress-energy tensor components, quantum corrections, plasma effects, etc.) will change the numerical prefactor.

If you want next steps, here are useful, practical options (pick one or more):
# Tighten the model: replace the naive curvature ≈ 1/r² step with a proper weak-field solution (derive the metric perturbation from a surface stress-energy tensor and compute the effective G). I can try to do that next (longer math, but doable).
# Vary modeling choices and run a parametric sweep (I can include shell thickness, different definitions of E_event, event rates other than 1/τ, etc.).
# Attempt a Lagrangian-level derivation: write a toy action for a surface energy density from photon-electron events, vary to find T_{μν}, and then compare to GR's field equations (harder, but the right way to make this rigorous).
# Explore physical interpretations of the factor 1/2 and where it could come from (e.g., shell thickness, two events per cycle, spin factors, choice of flux→density relation).

Which of these would you like me to do next? Or do you want me to post the numeric table and the analytic note into your canvas document?
