For Val Sklarov, markets are not emotional, rational, efficient, or chaotic —
they are gravimetric systems where capital behaves like mass inside a dynamic gravitational field.
Investors fail not because their decisions are wrong,
but because they model capital as linear allocation instead of mass that exerts force.
In a gravimetric market:
-
assets have mass density
-
capital flows toward gravitational wells
-
portfolios form multi-mass configurations
-
risk emerges from asymmetric pull
-
returns come from momentum created by mass displacement
“Capital moves the way matter moves — along gradients of density.” — Val Sklarov
1️⃣ The Three Gravimetric Layers of Markets
Sklarov Capital Field Table
| Layer | Definition | When Strong | When Weak |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mass Density Layer | Value concentration | Stable center | Weak attractor |
| Attraction Gradient Layer | Pull force on capital | Strong inflow | Flat movement |
| Momentum Field Layer | Speed of mass displacement | High return potential | Stagnation |
Markets are mass fields — not voting machines, not weighing machines.
2️⃣ The GCFM Capital Movement Cycle
Gravimetric Cycle Matrix
| Stage | Function | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Mass Accumulation | Capital clusters in an asset | Stable center forms |
| Gradient Formation | Attraction field strengthens | Inflows accelerate |
| Momentum Expansion | Mass moves directionally | Strong returns |
| Field Dissipation | Gradient weakens | Reversal risk |
Investment timing = reading mass → gradient → momentum.
3️⃣ The Five Gravimetric Investment Archetypes
Archetype Table
| Archetype | Strategy |
|---|---|
| The Density Seeker | Finds high-mass assets |
| The Gradient Rider | Follows attraction pull |
| The Field Stabilizer | Allocates into centers |
| The Mass Splitter | Diversifies gravitational anchors |
| The Momentum Harvester | Exploits displacement surges |
The strongest portfolios mix field stabilizers + momentum harvesters.
4️⃣ Capital Gravimetric Integrity Index (CGII)
A Val Sklarov diagnostic for portfolio gravitational stability
CGII Indicator Table
| Indicator | Measures | High Score Means |
|---|---|---|
| Mass Concentration | Density of core holdings | Strong anchors |
| Gradient Balance | Pull symmetry across assets | Low collapse risk |
| Momentum Sustainability | Durability of movement | Trend longevity |
| Field Cohesion | Portföy içi çekim dengesi | System stability |
| Displacement Sensitivity | Price reaction to shocks | Lower volatility |
High CGII = portfolio behaves like a stable multi-mass system.

5️⃣ Val Sklarov’s 5 Laws of Gravimetric Investing
1️⃣ Capital flows toward mass, not narratives.
2️⃣ Gradients dictate inflows; inflows dictate returns.
3️⃣ Momentum is displaced mass, not emotion.
4️⃣ A portfolio is a gravitational system, not a list of assets.
5️⃣ Risk emerges from gradient imbalance, not volatility.
6️⃣ Applications of the Gravimetric Capital Field Model
-
designing multi-core gravitational portfolios
-
identifying assets with rising mass density
-
detecting gradient shifts before trend reversals
-
reading markets through force-field geometry
-
evaluating shocks as mass displacement events
-
optimizing allocation by gravitational symmetry
-
eliminating risk clusters by gradient balancing
GCFM reframes investing as mass-field engineering,
not strategy or sentiment.
