Would not the Higgs field having specifically to do with mass conference, having been formed right after the inflation of space-time, be intrinsically linked to "gravity" conferred through space?
What do you mean by lowest end of scale, what scale?
The Higgs is kind of tangential to how gravity works - it confers rest energy to particles, and gravity is caused by energy. It could be intrinsically linked to gravity, but from all we know, there could still be gravity if there were no Higgs field.
I think it's the medium of transmission of gravity and "spooky action at a distance."
