Orbital Motion: Newtonian and Relativistic Orbits | G Model Perspective

Orbital motion is determined by the balance of inertia and gravitational interaction. Newtonian mechanics gives the familiar Keplerian limit, while general relativity supplies corrections in stronger fields and for high precision.
A meaningful orbital comparison must state the source model, coordinates, initial conditions, approximation, and uncertainty treatment.
The G Model uses spherical weak-field relations and a relativistic compatibility program to compare orbital behavior. The existing Mercury orbital test is a comparison entry in the Tests & Results register, not a new independent measurement.
Where a numerical result uses the current K_M → T_c → G_G route, its arithmetic can be internally checked while the absolute provenance of K_M remains an open requirement. Measured gravity is retained only in explicitly labeled comparison contexts.
A distinctive orbital prediction with independently fixed scale and controlled uncertainty remains to be derived and tested.
