==== Spherical geometry gives the inverse square law trivially: for flux Φ\PhiΦ radiated from a point, ====

Φ(r)=P4πr2.\Phi(r) = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}.Φ(r)=4πr2P.
If a test body intercepts an effective cross-section σ\sigmaσ of the outward photon momentum flux, the force is

F∼σΦ(r)c∝1r2.F \sim \sigma \frac{\Phi(r)}{c} \propto \frac{1}{r^2}.F∼σcΦ(r)∝r21.
QAT reading: outgoing photon momentum normal to the sphere (Huygens wavefront) produces an effective 1/r² geometry; an emergent gravitational attraction can arise from net inward-directed EM momentum transfer when absorption/emission patterns are coherent and asymmetric across many atoms.

Status: geometrical origin of 1/r² is robust; turning that into a universal attractive force with the precise magnitude GGG is the nontrivial step.
