Abstract

This volume gathers the foundational writings that mark the emergence of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)—a radical and unifying framework proposed by John Onimisi Obidi that repositions entropy as the fundamental field of nature. Across these collected works, ToE advances the claim that the universe is not governed by geometry, energy, or quantum amplitudes, but by the continuous dynamics of an underlying entropic field whose gradients, flows, and spectral structure generate all known physical phenomena. Time dilation, mass increase, gravitational curvature, quantum collapse, information flow, and the arrow of time are reinterpreted as consequences of finite entropic reconfiguration rates rather than observer-dependent effects or geometric postulates.

The papers assembled here trace the conceptual, mathematical, and philosophical development of ToE—from the Obidi Actions and the Master Entropic Equation to the entropic reinterpretation of relativity, quantum measurement, and spacetime emergence. Together, they present a coherent vision of a universe whose laws arise not from arbitrary axioms but from the logical inevitability of entropy as the primary substrate of reality. This volume serves both as a historical record of the theory’s inception and as a comprehensive introduction to its central ideas, methods, and implications.

The collected works on the evolution of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) provide a comprehensive overview of the foundational writings that mark the emergence of this radical and unifying framework. These works trace the conceptual, mathematical, and philosophical development of ToE, from the Obidi Actions and the Master Entropic Equation to the entropic reinterpretation of relativity, quantum measurement, and spacetime emergence. The papers assembled here present a coherent vision of a universe whose laws arise not from arbitrary axioms but from the logical inevitability of entropy as the primary substrate of reality.

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) establishes entropy not as a statistical byproduct of disorder but as the fundamental field and causal substrate of physical reality. It provides a rigorous information-geometric foundation for entropy-driven dynamics, integrating Fisher–Rao’s classical information metric and the Fubini–Study quantum metric through the Amari–Čencov alpha-connection formalism.

The historical and philosophical foundations of ToE reveal its evolution from thermodynamic origins in the 19th century to quantum and informational generalizations in the 20th and 21st centuries. Each stage illuminated a fragment of a deeper truth: that entropy is not merely a measure of disorder, but a universal principle.

For those interested in exploring the evolution of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE), the collected works offer a comprehensive introduction to its central ideas, methods, and implications, serving both as a historical record of the theory’s inception and as a comprehensive introduction to its central ideas, methods, and implications.

Introduction

The history of physics is punctuated by moments when a simple but profound shift in perspective reshapes our understanding of the universe. Newton’s insight that the same force governing falling apples governs the motion of planets; Maxwell’s unification of electricity, magnetism, and light; Einstein’s recognition that space and time form a single geometric fabric—each marked a decisive conceptual leap that reorganized the foundations of physical thought.

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) represents such a moment. It begins with a question that has lingered at the margins of physics for more than a century: Why does entropy appear everywhere? From black hole thermodynamics to quantum information, from cosmology to condensed matter, entropy repeatedly emerges as the silent architecture beneath physical law. Yet it has remained curiously relegated to a secondary role—treated as a statistical descriptor rather than a fundamental entity.

In these collected works, John Onimisi Obidi confronts this paradox directly. Drawing on deep historical signals—from Bekenstein and Hawking’s thermodynamic black holes to Jacobson’s thermodynamic derivation of Einstein’s equations, from holographic dualities to the irreversibility of quantum measurement—Obidi argues that entropy is not a byproduct of deeper structures. It is the structure. The entropic field, not spacetime geometry or quantum amplitudes, is the true substrate of physical reality.

This volume chronicles the development of that insight. It presents the mathematical architecture of the Obidi Actions, the derivation of the Master Entropic Equation (MEE), the entropic reinterpretation of relativity, the dethronement of the observer, and the emergence of spacetime, motion, and causality from entropic constraints. It also situates ToE within the broader philosophical arc of physics, showing how it completes a centuries-long trajectory from observer-centric theories to an objective, entropy-centric ontology.

These writings do not merely propose a new theory; they articulate a new worldview. They invite the reader to see the universe not as a geometric stage or a probabilistic cloud, but as a continuous entropic computation—one whose laws, symmetries, and phenomena arise from the finite rate at which entropy can reorganize itself.

This is the story of how the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) was born, and why entropy now stands where it always belonged: at the throne of physics.
