The Vuli-Ndlela Integral of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): A Radical Reformulation of Feynman's Path Integral of Quantum Field Theory (QFT)

The Vuli-Ndlela Integral of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): A Radical Reformulation of Feynman's Path Integral of Quantum Field Theory (QFT)

The term "Vuli-Ndlela Integral" refers to a conceptual and mathematical construct in the emerging Theory of Entropicity (ToE), as first formulated and further developed by John Onimisi Obidi, and is a theoretical framework for quantum gravity. It is an entropy-weighted reformulation of Feynman's path integral. 

In Theoretical Physics
In the Theory of Entropicity (ToE), proposed by John Onimisi Obidi, the Vuli-Ndlela Integral is central to introducing irreversibility and temporal asymmetry (the arrow of time) into quantum mechanics. 
  • Entropy-weighted path integral: It modifies the traditional time-symmetric weights of quantum mechanics with functionals that incorporate gravitational entropy and irreversibility.
  • Unification of physics: The ToE uses this integral and the related "Obidi Action" to reformulate physical processes as constrained entropic flows, aiming to unify thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and general relativity under a single principle.
  • Emergent reality: Within this framework, concepts like geometry, motion, and interaction are seen as driven by irreversible entropic constraints, rather than being foundational postulates themselves.
