Axioms of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): Observer Principle

Axiom 1 — Embeddedness

The observer is not external to reality but a subsystem embedded within the entropic field. Observation is itself an entropic process, inseparable from the redistribution of information.

Axiom 2 — Non‑Relativity and Non‑Absoluteness

The observer is neither relative (as in Einstein’s perspectival frames) nor absolute (as in Newton’s privileged vantage). Instead, the observer is integral: their existence is computed by entropy’s dynamics, not imposed upon them.

Axiom 3 — Dethronement

The observer does not define reality; reality defines the observer. Relativity, causality, and perception are emergent consequences of entropy’s finite‑rate dynamics, not fundamental determinants.

Axiom 4 — Universality of Entropy

Entropy is ontological and universal. Its values are not frame‑dependent but intrinsic to the entropic field. Gravitational entropy, like all entropic phenomena, is a direct manifestation of the field’s dynamics.

Axiom 5 — Computed Reality

What the observer perceives has already been computed by the entropic field. Observation is secondary, a read‑out of entropy’s causal structure, not a primary act of definition.

Axiom 6 — Emergent Relativity

Relativistic effects (time dilation, length contraction) arise as secondary consequences of entropy’s finite‑rate redistribution. They are not imposed by observer frames but enforced by entropy itself.

Axiom 7 — Integrity of Participation

The observer is an active participant in the universe’s dynamics, but only as an integral subsystem of entropy. Their role is not privileged but consistent with the universal entropic law.
