The inverse-square gravitational theory recovered from general relativity in the weak-field, slow-motion regime.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Newtonian gravitation is recovered for weak stationary fields, slow motion, and negligible pressure relative to energy density.
The target is recovered from the source either in a stated mathematical or asymptotic limit, or through a quantitatively controlled approximation with identified small parameters or omitted terms. The edge label and detail must state which case applies and its regime of validity.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The measured attraction between laboratory masses quantitatively supported universal Newtonian gravitation and permitted later extraction of .
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.

Newtonian gravitation supplies a force law within Newtonian mechanics.
The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
