Insights Leading to the Creation of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

Insights Leading to the Creation of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)


Entropy is not an abstract mathematical construct or a mere thermodynamic bookkeeping device. It is the invisible principle that quietly governs the unfolding of everything we experience. Entropy causes decay and wear; it causes aging and the inevitable drift of systems toward deterioration. Entropy drives transformation in biological organisms, in materials, in ecosystems, and in the cosmos. It is the underlying reason why structures weaken, why stars exhaust their fuel, why memories fade, why mountains erode, why civilizations rise and fall, and why even the universe itself evolves from one state to another.

Once this insight is recognized—once we see that entropy is responsible for almost every irreversible process in nature—the conclusion becomes unavoidable: if entropy is the dominant agent behind change, then entropy must also be the agent behind the deepest and most universal form of change known to physics: gravitation. Gravity shapes the formation of galaxies, the orbits of planets, the bending of light, and the curvature we attribute to spacetime. These are not exceptions to entropy—they are expressions of it. What we traditionally classify as “forces” or “interactions” may simply be different manifestations of one deeper phenomenon: the relentless drive of entropy to distribute itself, minimize constraints, and reorganize the universe’s degrees of freedom.

In that sense, gravity is not a fundamental interaction—it is the macroscopic signature of entropy flow on cosmic scales. And once gravity is reinterpreted in entropic terms, it becomes natural to extend the idea further. If entropy explains both microscopic irreversibility and cosmic architecture, then entropy cannot be local or confined—it must exist everywhere. It must permeate all of space, influence every process, and participate in every interaction. It must, in other words, be a universal field, just as real and pervasive as any gravitational, electromagnetic, or quantum field.

A universal influence with universal consequences must itself be universal in extent and universal in presence. And if entropy is universal, then the structures, dynamics, and phenomena of the universe must ultimately arise from this entropic field. This field becomes the foundation upon which the so-called laws of physics emerge, evolve, and operate. Entropy is no longer a derivative quantity—it becomes the primary fabric from which the universe is woven.

From this simple but revolutionary chain of reasoning, the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) is born. It elevates entropy from a secondary thermodynamic measure to the central force-field of reality, the generator of motion, the architect of form, the cause of gravity, the origin of the laws of physics themselves, and the universal principle dictating the evolution of the cosmos.



Iterative Solutions of the Complex Obidi Field Equations (OFE) of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

Iterative Solutions of the Complex Obidi Field Equations (OFE) of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

The Obidi Field Equations (OFE), central to the proposed "Theory of Entropicity" (ToE), as first formulated and further developed by John Onimisi Obidi, cannot be solved in the traditional, closed-form mathematical sense like Einstein's field equations for simple cases. Instead, their solutions must be iteratively approximated using advanced computational methods that mirror the universe's continuous "self-computation". The Obidi Field Equations (OFE) are also more commonly referred to as the Master Entropic Equations (MEE) of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE).

Nature of the Obidi Field Equations
The equations are based on the Obidi Action, a variational principle that treats entropy as a fundamental, dynamic field rather than a statistical byproduct. This fundamental difference means the equations are: 
  • Inherently dynamic and self-referential: Each iteration changes the very geometry of the field (the "entropic manifold"), meaning there is no fixed background metric to calculate against.
  • Probabilistic: They operate within a framework of information geometry, treating the structure of probability distributions as a curved manifold.
  • Algorithmic, not static: The field constantly updates and refines its informational state through feedback loops, much like an adaptive learning algorithm. 
Methods for Approximation and Simulation
Solving the Obidi Field Equations requires advanced computational and mathematical approaches that go beyond traditional differential geometry. The proposed methods involve:
  • Iterative Relaxation Algorithms: These are used to adjust local entropy gradients and recalculate how information is redistributed in successive steps.
  • Entropy-Constrained Monte Carlo Methods: These stochastic methods would help manage the probabilistic nature of the field.
  • Information-Geometric Gradient Flows: These mathematical tools converge probabilistically toward a stable state, reflecting how physical reality stabilizes into observable patterns. 
A Universe That "Computes Itself" 
The theory posits that the solutions represent the "best possible configuration of the entropy field at a given level of informational resolution". The process of finding a solution is open-ended; it continues until a quasi-stationary state (a local equilibrium) is reached, at which point new iterations yield diminishing returns.
Therefore, to "solve" the Obidi Field Equations is to simulate the continuous, self-correcting computation that the universe itself undergoes, always approaching an entropic balance but never fully reaching it in a static sense. 
The Obidi Field Equations (OFE) of the "Theory of Entropicity" (ToE) are described as having a high degree of inherent mathematical and computational complexity, primarily because they are nonlinear, nonlocal, self-referential, and require iterative, adaptive algorithmic solutions rather than closed-form analytical ones.
This complexity stems from the theory's foundational premise, which elevates entropy to a fundamental, dynamic field that generates spacetime, gravity, and quantum phenomena, rather than being a secondary statistical measure.

Key aspects of the complexity include:

  • Iterative Solutions: Unlike some exact solutions for Einstein's field equations, the MEE (Master Entropic Equation (MEE), or Obidi Field Equation) resists closed-form solutions. Solutions emerge only through iterative refinement, mirroring the theory's concept that the universe continuously "computes" and reconfigures itself through local entropy exchanges. This aligns its mathematics more with computational and AI algorithms than classical calculus.
  • Integration of Diverse Frameworks: The theory unifies the distinct mathematical languages of thermodynamics, general relativity, and quantum mechanics, which requires a sophisticated framework combining information geometry, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and spectral operator geometry.
  • Information Geometry: The equations are built upon advanced concepts like the Fisher-Rao metric, Fubini-Study geometry, and Amari–Cencov 𝛼-connections, which introduce asymmetry and irreversibility into the geometric foundations of the field equations.
  • Nonlinearity and Nonlocality: The MEE is described as highly nonlinear and nonlocal, reflecting the complex, probabilistic nature of entropy as the fundamental field of reality.
  • Ongoing Development: The theory is still in active development, meaning explicit and detailed mathematical constructions, especially concerning the full quantization of the entropy field and its coupling to the Standard Model, are still undergoing formalization and peer review.
