Gravity.
Not quite.
What cause water to fluctuate in a toilet is a lot more complex then saying gravity.
What normally causes the water level to rise and fall is
1- Negitive pressure
2 - positive pressure
3- Back siphonage
4- The most common is oscillation (wind effect) as the wind goes down the vent terminal.
Negative pressure is when a toilet is flushed on an upper level it draws water from the toilet from the lower floors do to improper venting or a blocked vent. Sylvan, Licensed Master plumber
