On the Ideological and Conceptual Simplicity and Yet Mathematical Complexity of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

On the Ideological and Conceptual Simplicity and Yet Mathematical Complexity of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE), primarily developed by the Nigerian-born philosopher, physicist and researcher, John Onimisi Obidi, as of 2025—2026, is based on a simple conceptual idea but involves complex mathematical foundations. 

1. Ideological and Conceptual Simplicity of ToE 
The core vision of ToE is straightforward: the universe is not made of matter or energy [alone], but is an emergent manifestation of entropy in motion (flow). 
  • Entropy as a Field: Rather than being just a measure of disorder, entropy is a fundamental, physical field (the Entropic Field) that shapes space, time, and gravity.
  • The "No-Rush Theorem": A key simple rule stating that God or nature cannot be rushed (G/NCBR); all physical processes must have a finite, non-zero duration because entropy redistribution takes time.
  • Unified Cause: Relativistic effects like mass increase, time dilation and the speed of light are explained as real physical consequences of this entropic field's constraints, rather than just being a result of perspective. 
2. Mathematical and Logical Complexity of ToE 
While the idea and concept is elegant and simple and seemingly innocuous, the actual framework requires a sophisticated and unconventional mathematical architecture: 
  • Non-Classical Framework: It moves away from classical differential geometry to use information geometry and non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
  • Advanced Formalisms: It utilizes complex tools like Amari–Čencov α-connections and Rényi/Tsallis non-extensive entropy formalisms to link information flow to spacetime curvature.
  • Iterative Logic: Unlike Einstein's equations, which often yield closed-form solutions, the Master Entropic Equation (MEE) — the Obidi Field Equations (OFE) — of ToE is typically solved through iterative, highly computational, self-correcting algorithms. 
3. Current Scientific Status
As of 2026, the Theory of Entropicity is considered a recent, audacious and provocative proposal. While its proponents highlight its potential to unify thermodynamics, relativity, and quantum mechanics, it is still undergoing conceptual and mathematical refinement and developments for its widespread experimental validation to stand with established theories like Einstein's beautiful theory of General Relativity.
