===== Problem: A static mass produces a static gravitational field without obvious ongoing radiation. If your mechanism needs continuous outward EM radiation, a static mass in the dark would not gravitate. =====

Important correction: QAT’s micro-picture can avoid this trap if mass/gravity arise from standing/bound electromagnetic configurations on boundaries (e.g., confined field energy, zero net Poynting flux) rather than outward travelling radiation. Bound field energy acts as source in GR. The claim “photons propagate outwards from every object all the time” can be replaced with “objects have continuous micro-exchanges with vacuum/fields that result in nonzero local stress-energy” — and that is compatible with static fields.
