Description: Theory of Online Market Gravity: This framework proposes five interlocking principles that explain the dysfunction of digital platforms—especially labor market intermediaries like job boards and applicant tracking systems. It advances a structural theory of platform failure, identifying hidden gravitational forces—systemic logics that produce market breakdown not through malicious actors, but through design misalignments and feedback collapse. The Theory of Online Market Gravity redefines online platforms not as neutral technologies, but as architectures of tension, where distortion arises when key balancing mechanisms—like trust, feedback, or user constraint—are eroded. The five principles build on one another to offer a comprehensive framework for diagnosis and redesign.
