Who Invented the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)?

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) was invented by John Onimisi Obidi, a researcher, physicist, author, philosopher, and humanist who first formulated and developed the theory, with a fury and flurry of papers and publications appearing around 2025. 

• Definition: ToE is a theoretical framework that treats entropy not merely as a statistical measure of disorder, but as a fundamental, dynamic, and continuous physical field (
  

  $S\left(x\right)$
  ) from which space, time, gravity, and matter emerge.
• Key Concept: The theory proposes that "entropy gradients generate curvature, motion, and temporal flow," placing entropy at the foundational level of reality rather than as a secondary byproduct of thermodynamics.
• Mathematical Foundation: Obidi introduced the "Obidi Action" (both local and spectral forms) to describe the dynamics of this entropy field, often linking it to information-geometric structures like the Fisher–Rao metric.
• Status: The Theory of Entropicity is a recent, emerging proposal in theoretical physics, positioning itself as a potential path toward a "Theory of Everything" (unifying quantum mechanics, relativity, and thermodynamics), as noted in papers from 2025. 

Note: The John Onimisi Obidi who created this theory is distinct from other individuals with similar names.

Key Aspects and Contextual Distinctions of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE), as developed by John Onimisi Obidi and discussed in recent preprints, proposes a paradigm shift in theoretical physics where entropy, rather than matter or energy, is the fundamental dynamical field from which spacetime, forces, and matter emerge. 

Key aspects of this theory, often discussed in research context rather than code-based GitHub repositories, include: 

• Emergent Reality: The visible universe is interpreted as a "localized configuration of invisible entropy/information," meaning physical reality is a manifestation of an underlying entropic substrate.
• Fundamental Dynamics: The theory asserts that gravity is a result of entropic curvature, and that time is the direction of entropy flow.
• Reinterpretation of Strings: In this framework, "strings" are not physical objects but rather "compactified entropic configurations" or vibrations of information.
• Entropic Corrections: ToE provides modified formulas for string mass spectra and suggests corrections to the Casimir effect based on the entropic field
  

  $S\left(x\right)$
  .
• Unification: It aims to unify general relativity, quantum field theory, and string theory under a single entropic principle, often building upon and extending concepts from Verlinde's entropic gravity, Padmanabhan's emergent gravity, and Takayanagi's pseudo-entropy. 

Contextual Distinctions:
While the "Theory of Entropicity" refers to this specific physical theory, search results for "entropy" on GitHub predominantly return software libraries for measuring information-theoretic entropy (e.g., EntropyHub, antropy), or security tools for detecting secrets in code (e.g., entropy-cli).

Investigations into K-Statistical Mechanics and K-Entropy Through the Principles of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

The concept that entropy is a field from which relativistic kinematics can be derived, or more specifically, that relativistic kinematic effects emerge from an entropic field (S), is postulated in the Theory of Entropicity (ToE), primarily developed by John Onimisi Obidi. 

Key aspects of this theory include: 

• The Entropic Field as a Regulatory Agent: ToE redefines entropy not just as a statistical measure of disorder, but as a dynamic, universal field (
  

  $S\left(x\right)$
  or
  

  $A\left(x\right)$
  ) that governs the structure of spacetime, time, and interaction.
• Derivation of the Speed of Light (
  

  $c$
  ): The constant speed of light is derived as the maximum propagation rate of disturbances within this entropic field, rather than being a standalone, unexplained postulate.
• Relativistic Effects as Entropic Resistance: Time dilation and length contraction are interpreted as manifestations of local entropic field distortions, where motion near
  

  $c$
  increases "entropic drag".
• The No-Rush Theorem: This principle states that no physical process can occur faster than the entropic field permits, effectively enforcing the relativistic speed limit through thermodynamics. 

Additionally, related research by G. Kaniadakis on

$\kappa$

-entropy has demonstrated that the self-duality and scaling axioms of

$\kappa$

-statistical mechanics can be derived directly from the first principles of special relativity, showing that

$\kappa$

-entropy acts as a relativistic generalization of classical entropy. However, the "Theory of Entropicity" by Obidi is the specific, recent framework explicitly framing entropy as a field that generates relativistic motion constraints. 

Core Principles and Mathematical Architecture of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE), introduced by John Onimisi Obidi in 2025, is a theoretical physics framework proposing that entropy is the foundational field of reality, from which space, time, gravity, and quantum mechanics emerge. Unlike traditional physics where entropy is secondary, ToE considers it an "ontological scalar field". 

Core Principles of ToE 

Key principles include viewing matter, motion, and spacetime as emergent from the entropic field. The "No-Rush Theorem" states that all interactions have a finite "entropic propagation interval". The speed of light c (

$c$

) is redefined as the maximum rate of entropic information and energy rearrangement. Gravity is described as curvature of the entropic field, and relativistic effects as "entropic inevitabilities". 

Mathematical Architecture

 

The theory utilizes information geometry and includes concepts like the Obidi Action for entropic field dynamics, the Master Entropic Equation (MEE) to govern entropy gradients, and the Vuli–Ndlela Integral for incorporating irreversibility into quantum mechanics.

 

Key Differences from Established Physics 

ToE differs from standard physics in its view of entropy as a fundamental field rather than just a statistical measure. Spacetime is seen as emergent, the speed of light as an entropic rate limit, and gravity as an emergent entropic response. 

As of late 2025, the Theory of Entropicity is a new and very audacious postulate that requires further development, wider peer review, and rigorous experimental testing.
