Obidi's First and Second Heresies in the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) of Modern Theoretical Physics

Obidi's First and Second Heresies in the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) of Modern Theoretical Physics 

"Obidi's Heresy" is a concept within John Onimisi Obidi's Theory of Entropicity (ToE) that refers to the radical claim of dethroning the observer from its central, privileged role in modern theoretical physics, particularly in quantum mechanics and relativity.

Obidi's dethronement of the Observer is actually Obidi's Second Heresy.

Obidi's First Heresy consists in his primary declaration of Entropy as a field rather than just a 

statistical or quantitative measure of disorder or ignorance or uncertainty.

Explanation of Obidi's Heresy
In many interpretations of physics, such as the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics or the observer-dependent frames of reference in Einstein's relativity, the observer plays a crucial role in defining reality or measurement outcomes. Obidi's Second Heresy challenges this anthropocentric view. 
Key aspects of the "heresy" include:
  • Observer Marginalized: Obidi argues that observers are merely local subsystems embedded within the universal entropic field and are constrained by its dynamics, rather than standing outside as independent arbiters of reality.
  • Entropy as Primary: Reality is not participatory or observer-created; instead, it is "pre-computed" and governed by the autonomous, dynamic entropic field, which exists independently of human observation.
  • Objective Reality: This stance reasserts a form of objective reality, where physical laws and phenomena are consequences of entropy's dynamics, not the observer's frame of reference or act of measurement. 
Essentially, Obidi's First Heresy is the bold and radical assertion that the universe's fundamental architecture is determined by entropy as a universal field, rendering the observer's role secondary and non-privileged in the grand scheme of physical reality — which is Obidi's Second Heresy (the Observer Dethroned!). The theory itself is a recent, non-mainstream proposal still undergoing rigorous mathematical development and conceptual refinements to gain wider and universal acceptance in the scientific community.  

Conclusion 

Within the context of the ToE, these "heresies" refer to fundamental challenges the theory poses to established physics principles: 
  • Obidi's First Heresy (against established physics): This refers to the core postulate that entropy is the fundamental, causal field of physical reality, rather than a mere statistical byproduct or measure of disorder. Traditional physics treats entropy as an emergent property of underlying dynamics; ToE inverts this, making entropy primary and all other phenomena (spacetime, gravity, motion, quantum mechanics) emergent from it.
  • Obidi's Second Heresy (against the role of the observer): This relates to the assertion that the observer is "dethroned" from a privileged or central role in physics. In ToE, reality and physical processes (like quantum wave function collapse or the structure of spacetime) are governed by the objective, dynamic entropic field, independent of observation or measurement. The observer is considered an embedded, local subsystem constrained by these entropic dynamics, challenging interpretations in quantum mechanics (like the Copenhagen interpretation) and relativity that place the observer's frame of reference as central. 
These concepts are part of an ongoing development of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE), primarily discussed in papers and articles authored by Obidi and published on platforms like Medium, Substack, ResearchGate, and Figshare, CoE, SSRN, International Journal of Current Science Research and Review (IJCSRR), Authorea, OSF, etc.
