Strength follows a negative inverse-squared relationship with distance, just like we'd expect from magnetism.
But this special magnetism is affecting silver and gold too, not just ferromagnetic materials.
Maybe we should give it a special name, to distinguish it from regular types of magnetism?

oh I see. so the pull isn't coming from the surface, it's coming from the mass beneath us.
so we've managed to replace an invisible force with another invisible force 😆
very scientific.
Well, you know, Occam's Bludgeon.
I think we should use the symbol "g" (lowercase) for this not-magnetism.
It still needs a name, though. Maybe it could start with G?
pretty sure theres some old Latin word that means "weight" or "heaviness"
that could work ?
buoyancy!
no wait, thats not it...
I was thinking "Pondus", but "p" is already overused.
So we have to go more figurative.
Negotium? Causa?
If only there was such a word, but starting with G...
How do we translate "seriousness", again?
