| contents | We prove a version of the completeness hypothesis that follows from the coexistence of symmetry and gravity: tree-level gravitational scattering mandates single-particle states in all possible irreducible representations of the symmetry group constructible from a single seed charge. Our main assumption is that the leading high-energy behavior of scattering is universal irrespective of charge, thus satisfying the equivalence principle. Curiously, we discover that these newly-deduced states contribute democratically - that is, with equal interaction strengths - to scattering. |
