In this channel's material, data gravity appears in Alex Komoroske's exploration of intentional technology as a consequence of the web's same-origin paradigm — the accidental 30-year security model in which each origin is an isolated island that sees everything you put into it. Because lives are integrated but origins are not, you become the orchestrator, copy-pasting between apps, and data accumulates where it already exists. Faced with a cool startup versus Google Calendar, you pick the one that already has your data — so incumbents become massive, aggregation concentrates power in your context, and the Coasean floor rises until entire classes of useful software cannot exist [^bb2c42aa-478f-5c9a-ac26-e83a54c63127@1564]. The channel treats it as a systemic force worth breaking: changing the laws of physics with contextual flow control, confidential computing, and open attested runtimes is the leverage point against it [^bb2c42aa-478f-5c9a-ac26-e83a54c63127@1771].
