The gravity budget — is it balanced?

Your model: 100 gravities, handed out — Higgs takes some for mass, quarks some, leptons some — until balanced. Two honest corrections, and then the real books. First: gravity is not a fixed pot. It is sourced by energy — everything that has energy gravitates, in proportion, with no ceiling and no allocation. Nobody hands it out. But there is a real budget — the energy that actually gravitates — and we have measured it. Second: it is not balanced at all. It is one of the most lopsided things we know.

95% of everything that gravitates is dark — two things nobody has identified.
not balanced — 95% dark, and of the visible 5%, ~99% is QCD. the Higgs governs ~0.05% of the books.

where your instinct IS right

There is one suspiciously balanced thing — just not gravity being handed out. The vacuum energies that would gravitate (10⁵⁵–10¹²⁰× too much) cancel to ~120 digits. What survives that cancellation is the 68% dark energy — a tiny residue. That is the balance you are sensing: not a pot shared out, but an enormous energy cancelled by an unknown hand to almost, but not quite, zero.

LiteralCosmic energy budget (Planck 2018): ~68% dark energy, ~27% dark matter, ~5% ordinary. Of ordinary matter mass, ~99% is QCD binding energy, ~1% Higgs. Measured.
Bridge"Gravity" here means gravitating energy density. Percentages are present-day; they evolve as the universe expands (matter once dominated, dark energy now does).
SpeculativeGravity is sourced, not allocated — the "100 units handed out" is a model, not the mechanism. Dark energy and dark matter (95%) are unidentified. The vacuum cancellation to 120 digits is unexplained.
